About the adventure
Every 100 years, the Witch Queen Baba Yaga returns to the nation of Irrisen to dethrone the Queen and place a new daughter upon the seat of power. What would happen if she didn't show up? What would happen if this cycle were broken? This adventure seeks to answer those questions. Your adventures will take you across Golarion, beyond the Inner Sea region, and, infamously, to Earth. This is one of the most unique adventure paths, and difficult to boot! You will balance surviving in the frozen tundra of Irrisen with defending yourself against the Winter Witches ruling those lands. The Witch Queen is always watching, and she holds the gate of Golarion in her palm. Together, you and your allies will bring the Witch Queen down and restore balance to Golarion, whatever that looks like to you.

About me
Greetings! I am Ciaran King O'Leary (Actually my real name. It doesn't get more Irish) Right off the bat, I want to make it very clear that my Number One goal as a DM is fun. Fun for both you the players and myself as the DM. I promote great roleplay and sometimes that leads to conflicts in game. I want to make sure those conflicts stay in game, and we can explore those roleplay opportunities without it turning into a fight to the death. We're all here to have fun, so let's not make it harder on each other. I have been both playing and running games of Pathfinder 1e for 15 years now. I have run horror games, high fantasy games, and so many more. I do also run DND 5e games, but not professionally at the moment. If you're looking to book me for a 5e game, I'm definitely open to it! I offer both Adventure Paths created by Paizo and my own Custom World and Adventure. I own every adventure path that has been officially released,so if there's one in particular you want to play in, please let me know! (Not Kingmaker.) I believe I am a fair GM, often employing "Rule of Cool" in situations I feel warrant it. I almost always use Hero Points to add some flavor to the room, and as far as I'm concerned, Elephant in the Room is a must-have for any Pathfinder 1e game. That's not to say there is no danger. I make all of my rolls in the open (unless otherwise required for story or tension). I offer 24/7 access to the Foundry World for your game. I have purchased a license for each one of them so that you can make edits to your character whenever you wish. This includes over 100 Modules working together to deliver as immersive an experience as possible. Beginners need not fear though, I am a great teacher and very patient, so we will get you up to speed asap. Before we begin each session, I will be reading out a Recap of the previous week's Session. These will be available to read at any time, both in the Foundry World and in my Discord Channel K.O. Gaming. I'm looking forward to playing with you all soon!

Creating your character
20 point buy. 1st Party only. 15rp max for races. Drawbacks are allowed. Average starting gold. We'll be using Elephant in the Room. Every party will have a different preference as far as power level goes. I would like to keep it as even as possible. If the entire party wants to go crazy and power game, that's totally fine. But if everybody agrees to keep it low-key, and then you bring in an insane build, you will be asked to pull it back. Happy gaming!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The link to my Discord as well as the Foundry Vtt world will be given once you sign up for the game through Private Messages.
What K.O. Gaming brings to the table
I offer a Foundry World that is always online for you to access via The Forge. I bring 4 years of experience with that platform, and I am more than happy to help onboard newer users. I also offer a Discord Server where all of the players in my games can chat and private channels where you can read recaps of all your adventures and plan with your party.
