About the adventure
Burnt Offerings is the first part of the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path. This part of the AP will focus on the town Sandpoint and it's connection to an ancient evil that has lain dormant of eons. Beginning on the eve of the Swallowtail Festival, heroes must save Sandpoint from the sins of it's past that have now come enact vengeance upon the normally peaceful town. As the first chapter of the Runelords saga, this first book will take players from levels 1 - 4, this part of the AP is pretty straightforward and has a good mix of combat and some RP bits. This adventure is suited for players who are new to Pathfinder who want to learn the system while playing in a campaign that isn't too complicated in plot.

About me
Hello everyone! My name is Razzman and I'm a Gamemaster from Malaysia. I started with TTRPGs back 2005 when I was introduced to D&D 3.5 by some college seniors. Ever since then I have made playing and running TTRPGs a big part of my life, participating in weekly games. While I have dabbled with many games systems over the years Pathfinder has always been my main TTRPG system with Pathfinder 2nd edition being my current game system. What I love of gamemastering is watching how different groups approach and resolve a problem or adventures as it is never the same! Some might be more diplomatic and try to resolve things without resorting to combat while others would murderhobo their way out of any problem and while there might be pros and cons from each apporach it's always fun to watch from the GMs seat. As for the type of Pathfinder content I enjoy, I greatly enjoy APs or Adventure Paths as these campaigns have an impact on the wider world of the setting and create a living world for the players and GM to enjoy. I have been blessed to have a group where my friends and I take turns GMing and we participate in each others game as both GM and player so that none of us gets burnt out from being the "Forever GM". Together me and my group have finished many APs with Curse of the Crimson Throne and Hell's Rebels just to name a few. As for my GMing style I prefer to stick to RAW or Rules As Written as much as possible but should there be an unclear ruling I can adapt to suit a player's needs as long as it not too disruptive to gameplay. That's all from me and I hope to play with you guys sometime!

What Razzman brings to the table
I am a primarily Rules As Written (RAW) GM, adhering to the rules as much as possible but am willing to flex those rules given the correct context or a cool enough explanation. I voice all the characters especially the goblins because they are so much fun to voice. All maps will feature ambient music and combat music.

Hero points which are used for re-rolls will be given at the start of a session and every hour that the game is going on. A party stash will be provided to keep all loot not directly carried by your characters.

Safety
How Razzman creates a safe table
The first book of the Rise of the Runelords AP features alot of heavy subject matter such as abuse, controlling parents and one of the characters suffering a miscarriage which are part of metaplot of the campaign, should any of these themes be uncomfortable please let me know by speaking to me directly or typing in chat. X for absolute no-go subjects, N for anything close to discomfort and O for everything that is Ok.
