The young queen of Korvosa fights to keep her throneโ€”and her cityโ€”from tearing itself apart. But behind every riot and every corpse lies a deeper corruption, a rumored curse that has haunted Korvosa since its founding. And as chaos spreads, only a handful of heroes stand between the city and ruin. Curse of the Crimson Throne is one of Pathfinderโ€™s most iconic campaigns โ€” a gritty tale of intrigue, tragedy, and rebellion where every choice shapes the fate of a kingdom on the brink. In my Pathfinder 2e adaptation, the storyโ€™s political tension, moral complexity, and hard-won heroism come fully alive through cinematic roleplay, dynamic maps, and immersive worldbuilding. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜? โœฆ A living, reactive city alive with danger, politics, and moral choice โœฆ Deep, character-driven storytelling with cinematic flair โœฆ Welcoming to newcomers โ€” no PF2e experience needed โœฆ A veteran GM focused on immersion, agency, and memorable moments

About me

Iโ€™m the Norse GMโ€”also known as Jรณrekr or JKโ€”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. Iโ€™ve run dozens of adventures and campaigns for players from all walks of life, and Iโ€™m passionate about welcoming newcomers just as much as challenging seasoned veterans. Outside the virtual table, Iโ€™m a laid-back, thoughtful presenceโ€”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 tableโ€”I'm always happy to talk games!
