About the adventure
In Rise of the Runelords, you begin as heroes in Sandpoint, a small town near the great city of Magnimar. You are attending the Swallowtail Festival when something unexpected happens… As the campaign unfolds, you’ll delve into dungeons, investigate murders, destroy evil lairs, and do whatever it takes to ensure Sandpoint’s safety. My conversion focuses on what I believe is most fun in Second Edition. Because of that, it is not a strict 1-to-1 conversion when it comes to combat encounters. The original adventure features many single-enemy fights and solo hazards, which simply aren’t very engaging in PF2e. These have been adjusted for better pacing and challenge. My conversion is currently being playtested for the second time. That said, the story remains intact. Be aware that Rise of the Runelords was written for Pathfinder 1e, and it explores several heavy themes that may not be suitable for everyone. Please make sure to read the safety section before playing.

About me
Ever roll a Nat 1 and immediately regret your life choices? I’m here to make those moments unforgettable. Hi, I’m Lucas, a professional Game Master since 2021 (GMing since 2011), with thousands hours of experience running adventures across multiple systems. 🎲What’s it like at my table?🎲 "Make me attack roll." "I rolled a 2." (sad player) "That’s a miss." And that’s just the start! 💡Common things you will hear in my sessions:💡 "Wow, you’re all rolling really badly tonight." "You can try it, sure, let's see how it goes." "How did this even happen?" Of course, it’s not all jokes, my role as a GM is making sure everyone is having a good time at the table. Most of my games are all about sitting around, having a good time, invest into the campaign and roll dice. Whether you want a lot of roleplaying, epic combats, or fun banter, I create each session to your group’s style. Some parties come for drama, others for chaos, and some just want to roast my NPC names.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
• In my games, I like to follow the Rules as Written with a few small adjustments and "quality of life" additions. • Pathfinder 2e only. • Players can create their characters using any ancestry and class, regardless of rarity. Backgrounds are common only, with exceptions based on player request. • I allow most uncommon items/features, feel free to ask. Rare is a little more restrictive but might still be allowed. • Variant Rules: Free Archetype.
This game will happen bi-weekly, on the following weeks: March 6th, March 20th, April 3rd etc

What Lucas brings to the table
• I will bring all what you need in Foundry and an extensive knowledge of the rules of the system. While I know most of the system from the top of my head, sometimes I might need to make a quick search. • I will also automate Foundry beyond the default automation.
Homebrew rules
I have a document that includes a few suggested changes, such as picking Archetype Skill Feats as Archetype Feats, Recall Knowledge suggestions etc.
