About the adventure
A gang of outlaws, each with their own grudge against the villains who wronged them, must join forces to get their revenge. In the steam-powered city of Alkenstar, where most business is as orderly as the hands on a clock, these rugged antiheroes will have to go against the grain if they’re to settle their vendettas. Will the vigilantes have enough firepower to cut a path through Alkenstar’s soot-stained streets? Or will they, like so many others, get swallowed up by the ever-churning gears of the City of Smog? The Outlaws of Alkenstar Adventure Path is an official module from Paizo that pays homage to western tropes as well as introducing a steampunk urban setting for exploration. Characters will take on the role of anti-heroes that pursue their vendetta against the villains that wronged them. Play lasts from levels 1-11.

About me
We have all had that moment where we encountered something that sparked our interest in TTRPGs: catching a glimpse of a fantasy cover art, connecting with a heroic character arc in a film, getting caught up in the grand story of a video game – something that inspired us to say “I could do something like that!” For me, that moment came one afternoon ten years ago when, after numerous failed starts, I resolved that if no else was willing to take the DM’s chair, I’d just have to it myself. My whole life had led me to that moment and I haven’t looked back since. My name is J. Lawrence Kenny and in addition to a half decade of Dungeon Mastering, I hold a BFA in Theatre Performance and bring three decades of acting and storytelling experience to my table. Nothing brings me greater joy then when my party cheers, or gasps in horror, or let loose a string of expletives (or any combo of all three!) over a story moment I have spent hours devising just for them. Your characters will be personally tied into whatever is happening - their stories, their goals, will fuel and shape the events of the campaign. And, with a little luck, you will experience a complete character arc with a dramatic and satisfying conclusion…or at least be left with an interesting hook to carry onto the next adventure! At my table you will interact with memorable NPCs, explore unique and expansive worlds, and take center stage in compelling stories that will leave plenty of room for individuality and lateral thinking. Your character will always be the driving force; the underdog overcoming antagonists far beyond their limits, the everyman catapulted onto the stage of grand events, the hero who saves the world. The stories we create together will be far more interesting and fun than the stories we could create alone.
