About the adventure

A poster has been placed in many places throughout the City of Calisar. “By order of the Honourable Lord Chancellor Kal Mivirn, Head of the City council of the City-State of Calisar, all who seek to become part of the fabled Guild of Adventures are required to spend no less than one year indentured with the prestige City Guard. Once no less than a year has been served in service to the City-State, all fees of entry to said guild will be considered paid and such person will be considered a suitable candidate to protect and adventure within and without the City-State.” With this information in hand, you head to the guard recruiting office in StoneHammer’s Vigil. What will this year look like, and hopefully it goes by quickly….. GUARDS!! Is an urban adventure of crime, intrigue and mystery as each character spends their year of service in the City Guard with hopes of joining the legendary Guild of Adventurers. Everyone within the City-State has heard stories of some of the Legendary adventurers who made a name for themselves, like Branigan the Firebrand and The Ghost. Players start the adventure at Level 1. All Classes and Races of the core rulebook are accepted. This adventure will only be using abilities, spells, feats and features from the core rulebook. There is no restriction on experience, anyone new or veteran is welcome to join in. The game will feature lots of roleplay and character/player interaction as this will help further your work as a City Guard. Creativity is heavily encouraged!

Great Npcs with lots of background and deepness. The plot development is constructed considering pcs development and players ideas.

I've been playing my first pathfinder game with Ghost for a year now. Absolutely phenomenal story teller, helped me learn the game and continues to patiently put up with my 100 questions every session. Communication is quick and thorough. Allows player creativity and humour. I look forward to each weekly session and always leave laughing and excited for the next week. RP is on point and adaptive for each character introduced. I'm very happy with my experience and intend to stick around for a long time.
