About the adventure
The time has come again for the Ruby Phoenix Tournament! The sorcerer Hao Jin has invited only the strongest martial artists, adventurers, and fortune seekers to her world-famous fighting competition. The motley roster of contenders must compete for this decade's champion title and the choice of one of the Ruby Phoenix's grand treasures. Who will come out on top, and who will be left in the dust? There's only one way to find out! Welcome folks! This will be my second time running Ruby Phoenix. I have ran this AP to completion in the past and am looking forward to doing so again. --- Campaign Duration I'm predicting that this adventure path in its entirety will take between 15-20 sessions to complete. Players must be able to commit to the game on a weekly basis for the duration of the campaign. Where on Golarion? Ruby Phoenix takes place in and around the Tian Xia city-state of Goka.

About me
Just an enjoyer of pretty much anything fantasy related. Avid fan of anime, survival horror games and TTRPGs of all flavors. I got my start with TTRPGs back in high school and have been hooked ever since. My GMing style puts strong focus on both combat and roleplay. I put a strong focus on making my games a safe space where folks of all backgrounds can roleplay and enjoy themselves. (Banner done by sarahwidiart: https://vgen.co/sarahwidiart)
