About the adventure
Welcome to Otari: a quiet coastal town where sea breezes blow, fishmongers haggle in the market, and ancient secrets lie just below the surface. When strange lights appear in the forests and local wildlife vanishes without a trace, it's clear something old and dangerous has begun to stir. Menace Under Otari is a beginner-friendly Pathfinder 2e adventure designed for players brand-new to Pathfinder or tabletop RPGs, this game teaches the rules through action. You’ll create a heroic character, explore mysterious caves, confront monsters, and uncover the truth behind the menace threatening your town. This is a game focused on fun, creativity, and camaraderie. Whether you're casting your first spell or slashing through your first goblin, you'll be guided step-by-step through the mechanics and the story. Roleplaying is encouraged but not required, you can lean into your character as much as you like. If you're curious about Pathfinder or want a safe, welcoming space to learn the game, this is the perfect place to start. Grab your dice, bring your curiosity, and step into a world of heroic adventure! My intention with the starter set is to use it as an "xp to 3" book to bring us into another adventure!

About me
I always loved creating fascinating stories and situations for player characters to react and solve. My promise is that sessions will be engaging, intense, and dramatic, as we experience the stories of the world and our characters unfold before our eyes. Writing this after doing over 40 sessions for SPG. I first got into DMing for DnD for family and friends, eventually branching out to online communities. While I maintain those sessions I also was curious if I could make a living out of being a DM as all of the players I DMed for showed enthusiastic support and eagerness for each and every session. Branching out to SPG I started with just a single session, and they loved it. Then when Dragonlance released I put out a few more sessions that wouldn't conflict with my work schedule and with all of their enthusiastic love, support and encouragement for me as a DM and for the stories we tell as well as their eagerness for next session "Is it (session day) yet?" I decided to try to make this silly hobby a full time job. I would not be doing this without the massive amount of support and encouragement from my players. With that, I would like to invite you to join our community. I have been making stories with systems similar to DnD since I was in Highschool. When I started playing DnD and eventually gained the confidence to become a DM in every game I was in my players kept asking me to extend the session length, even upwards of lasting the whole day. Then when I learned people have made a living doing this I decided to reach out to StartPlayGames and see what I can add to this community!
