About the adventure
Venture into the deadliest jungle in all of Golarion with a veteran GM who's been crafting unforgettable D&D experiences since 1996. This isn't just a Pathfinder conversion of Tomb of Annihilation—it's a completely reimagined epic that transforms the original adventure into a sprawling narrative of ancient secrets, forgotten civilisations, and world-ending threats. **Key Expansions & Changes:** * Completely Reimagined Beginning: Start your adventure on the pirate isle of Mediogalti, brave a treacherous sea voyage plagued by pirates, and survive a shipwreck before even setting foot in the Mwangi Expanse. * The Lifestone Mystery: Discover a mysterious new mineral with incredible necromantic potential that has drawn factions from across Golarion to the depths of the Expanse. * Explore Sargava: Experience the far-flung Cheliaxian port in its heyday, dealing with colonial oppression, scheming nobles, and mysterious cults before braving the jungle proper. * The Ultimate Hex-Crawl: Explore a fleshed-out and detailed Mwangi Expanse, full of ancient ruins, mysterious sites, enigmatic tribal societies, warring factions, and deadly opponents. * Face the Serpentfolk Threat: Face serpentine dangers and a diabolical plot from one of Golarion's oldest foes. * Faction Warfare: Choose your allegiances wisely among Cheliax, the Pathfinder Society, Aspis Consortium, Red Mantis assassins, and the Free Captains of the Shackles. * Base Building: Establish and develop your own outpost as you explore deeper into the jungle * Deadly Dungeons: Explore reimagined versions of both the infamous Temple of the Nine Gods and the Tomb of Horrors, as well as other content from Tomb of Annihilation, Serpent's Skull, Skull & Shackles, and Return to the Tomb of Horrors. * Beyond the Death Curse: After defeating the initial threat, embark on an epic plane-hopping adventure that reimagines the classic Return to the Tomb of Horrors, taking you far beyond the original campaign's scope

About me
G'day! My name is Chris and I have been DMing games of Dungeons & Dragons for 26 years. I am a professional GameMaster running 40+ hours of PF1e and PF2e every week, with more than 50 paying customers spread across ten weekly campaigns. Not only do I have a pro subscription on Roll20, but I also own every available Roll20 resource for D&D 5e. I also own five Foundry VTT licenses with Forge hosting. Additionally, I have an extensive collection of tokens, a massive collection of high-quality battle maps, custom status tokens, a Syrinscape subscription, a private Discord server with a thriving community of more than 70 players, and a truly colossal collection of third-party reference materials (over 1,000 titles).

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a DIscord account, a Roll20 and Foundry account (we use one for journaling and one for play), a microphone, a headset, and a willingness to venture into the depths of the Mwangi Expanse!
What Chris brings to the table
**Premium Production Values:** * Professional Voice Acting: As a trained actor with voice acting experience, I bring NPCs to life with distinct voices and personalities * Custom Battlemaps: Enjoy beautifully crafted, dynamically lit battlemaps featuring work from Cze and Peku, Heroic Maps, and other premium creators * Immersive Audio: Experience the Mwangi Expanse's atmosphere through premium Syrinscape soundscapes * Handcrafted Landing Pages: Begin each session with beautiful custom landing pages complete with soundtracks from artists like Will Sorvino * Detailed Handouts: Every creature, magic item, and location comes with custom handouts to bring the world to life * Comprehensive Session Notes: Each 4-hour session is followed by an approximately 1,000-word writeup to help you keep track of your adventures **About Your GM:** I've been a Game Master since 1996 and have run D&D professionally full-time since 2020, guiding players through approximately 40 hours of adventure weekly. My story-first approach prioritizes character development, immersive exploration, and challenging-but-conquerable encounters—all seasoned with well-timed humour that enhances rather than undermines the experience. I've previously run Tomb of Annihilation four times, completing it twice, and coming close on the other two occasions.
