The Weeping Idol: A Pathfinder Adventure for 4-6 L2 Characters
When the players are sent to investigate a remote trading post on a tropical Island, they stumble upon a mystery that draws them deep into the jungle.
About the adventure
Set in a tropical paradise, this spooky and evocative mystery of an ancient moaning idol and the village it once guarded, is meant to be played in 3 sessions, taking the PC's from Level 2 to Level 3 in the process. This is a brisk adventure that includes a mini hex-crawl, a mysterious village to be investigated and a jungle full of threats both physical and magical. Hike the perilous jungle! Explore an ancient frowned shrine, fight villagers and various flora and fauna as you attempt to uncover the solution to this weird mystery that haunts the people of Tawhiri village. Ending in a climactic battle beneath an underwater shrine, this is a fun, standalone adventure set in Pathfinder's Golarion that encourages the players to explore, investigate and to find a way to restore the village and its environs to a peaceful state, using their wits, their blades and their faith.

About me
My style blends rich, immersive storytelling with clean, intentional mechanics - balancing evocative roleplay and tactically satisfying combat. I gravitate toward myth-rich fantasy: worlds like my own Caelmourne Setting, where forgotten empires, moral ambiguity, and flickers of fragile hope wind through every shadowed alley and sunlit glade. But I also make space for the things that make the adventure multidimensional: the campfire confessions, the inside jokes, the odd tavern cat named something regrettable. I want the world to breathe alongside your characters as they grow and evolve. I want players who are creative, collaborative and have the same quiet reverence for the experience of sharing imagination. As the designer of Essentia, a modular, classless RPG system, I bring a deep appreciation for player agency and creative problem-solving. I love watching players stretch the boundaries of a story, surprise themselves, and find their voice at the table. Iβm collaborative, patient, and always rooting for your character to do something bold, clever, or heartbreakingly human. My goal is to build worlds where you feel both safe and significant; where the table becomes a shared stage for wonder, connection, and the beautiful chaos of a natural 20.

Zero rocks!! I had a super fun time!!! Just the right balance of story, action and fun!!! It kinda felt like the story was made just for us! I would totally recommend!!!

One of the most memorable periods of my life was game night with my fellow nerds. It went from game of thrones, to dinner party to pathfinder with Zer0charisma leading the way. As a dungeon master he lead us through the toughest, funniest and most unexpected adventures. I had a pet Xorn, who would have guessed? He is an amazing story teller, navigator and dungeon master and we should all be lucky to have an adventure lead by him.

Easy going, willing to work with players on all levels from character creation to wild and crazy idea that stretch the rules to make the play fun for all. Very descriptive and expansive vocabulary and fun story arcs.
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters can be created with a Pathfinder 20 pt buy and pre-mades are available. Most core Pathfinder sources are fine, check with me for anything too esoteric. Average Wealth by Level. Pre-made Pc's will be available.
