About the adventure
⚔️ 𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱. 𝗘𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗿𝘀. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘆! ⚔️ Lost Mine of Phandelver is the perfect starting point for adventurers new and seasoned alike — a gritty, fantasy tale of forgotten power, rising tensions, and hard-won heroism. Rise as a hero in my PF2e conversion of Lost Mine of Phandelver! 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁? ✦ A rich open world where exploration and choices matter ✦ Grounded, character-focused fantasy with cinematic moments ✦ Beginner-friendly, no Pathfinder 2e experience needed ✦ Veteran GM focused on immersion and player agency 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗼𝗻𝘀... Fresh out of Neverwinter with coin promised and secrets kept, you’ve taken a simple escort job: deliver a wagon of supplies to a town known as Phandalin. The client? A dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker — excited, cagey, and convinced he’s found something big. You’re not sure what exactly, but ten gold apiece is good enough for now. Will you discover the lost mine, defend Phandalin, and rise from unknown adventurers to trusted heroes?

About me
I’m the Norse GM—also known as Jórekr or JK—a lifelong storyteller from the wild and myth-steeped lands of Scandinavia. I grew up surrounded by long winters, old forests, and the quiet magic of northern folklore, and I strive to bring that same sense of wonder and depth into every game I run. Roleplaying games have been my creative heartbeat for over a decade, offering a space to tell stories, share laughs, and explore the unknown together. I’ve run dozens of adventures and campaigns for players from all walks of life, and I’m passionate about welcoming newcomers just as much as challenging seasoned veterans. Outside the virtual table, I’m a laid-back, thoughtful presence—always happy to chat, help with character ideas, or just nerd out over game mechanics and lore. I'm usually available for games on weekday afternoons and evenings (CET/CEST). Feel free to reach out if you want to chat before joining the table—I'm always happy to talk games!

Creating your character
We’ll be starting at Level 1 using Pathfinder 2e rules, unless stated otherwise below. If you’re new to Pathfinder or TTRPGs in general — no worries! I’ll help you build your character step by step before the first session. You can create your character using Pathbuilder (pathbuilder2e.com) or directly in Foundry VTT. Either works great, and I’m happy to guide you through either option. We’ll be using the standard rules from the Core Rulebook, and you’re welcome to choose anything from official Paizo sources. ✦ Uncommon and Rare options (like certain ancestries, heritages, feats, spells etc.) might need a quick check-in with me — if something looks cool, just ask!
This weekly campaign offers a refined, engaging, and unparallelled Pathfinder experience. If you're ready to step beyond casual play and immerse yourself in a living, breathing world, this is the game for you!
