About the adventure
“The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal.” — Victor Hugo, LES MISÉRABLES Isger is burning. As the diabolic slave state of Cheliax goes to war with the shining freedom fighters of Andoran, the vassal state of Isger has been left in the lurch. Mostly neglected by its sinister overlords, the citizenry hoped that they would escape the Hellfire Crisis unscathed. A few days ago, Hellknights of the Rack publicly executed a retired Andoren general, Reginald Cormoth, for alleged sedition. This set alight an only semi-metaphorical powder keg. The Battle of Hellknight Hill brought war to Isger’s doors. Short and brutal, both armies experienced heavy casualties, and now all that’s left is to pick up the pieces. You are not a soldier. You are a spy, a member of the secret Hellbreakers society. While the Eagle Knights believe that clashing on public battlefields will bring liberation to Cheliax and its vassal states, your approach is a more subtle one. You gather information, free prisoners, and do all the dirty work from the inside to ensure that the forces of freedom will prevail. It’s more dangerous and less rewarding than anything the knights are doing, but without you, there is no liberation. Remember your mission. Remember that you are not more important than the cause. A free Isger is possible. Through enough espionage and daring, they can finally break free. But Cheliax is not the only enemy you will have to overcome. Ancient foes have taken notice of the hellfire chaos, and lick their chops. A perfect opportunity to advance their own nefarious schemes. Do not forget the mission. ✌️ Fight alongside the people for a better tomorrow! 🔧 Premium Foundry module published by Paizo 🗺️ High-resolution art, battlemaps, tokens, and animations 🎭 Professional theatrical storytelling and a dedication to detail 🎶 Immersive audio, from exploding bombs to battle themes 🖥️ All official game resources and technology to cast off your chains ⚔️ Beginner-friendly while still engaging more experienced pathfinders 🏳️🌈 Inclusive environment for all identities, in and out of game 🛎️ Weekly office hours for questions, concerns, and casual banter Hellbreakers is a fantasy warfare Adventure Path for the second edition of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Player characters will advance from Level 1 to Level 10 as they engage in daring missions, murder investigations, and prison breaks. Inspired by works like STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, and the RED RISING series, fight for a free Isger!

About me
My name's MJ (she/her), and I'm everything your parents warned you about: a horror writer, a punk rock guitarist, a Philadelphia sports fan, and a Dungeon Master! My friends have described me as "a German Shepherd cursed to be human," "the universe's favorite chew toy," and "too interesting for my own good."

Safety
How MJ creates a safe table
The content warnings detailed below list items that are likely to appear during this campaign. This is not a complete list of sensitive content that might arise in-game. Part of our Session 0 will involve discussing players’ comfort levels with potentially triggering topics, and the game can be altered to minimize certain subject matter or avoid it entirely. Players who join after Session 0 should discuss these topics with the GM during weekly office hours. Certain themes are so central to the text that to remove them from the game would be to destroy the campaign’s fundamental premise. This Adventure Path contains themes of war, oppression, torture, and political violence. Your characters seek to liberate the vassal state of Isger from the imperialist kingdom of Cheliax, which allies itself with devils and other fiends and keeps its underclass in bondage. You are the heroes, but the villains are truly villainous. Tabletop role-playing games are meant to be an escape from the horrors of the real world, and as a queer woman, I pride myself on making my tables a safe and inclusive environment for all. Above-table prejudices such as racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia are forbidden at my table and will lead to your immediate removal from a session without refund, complete ban from all present and future tables, and a formal report to StartPlaying.
