About the adventure

Welcome to Kneadful Things, a lighthearted Pathfinder 2e one-shot filled with chaotic combat, terrible puns, and violently enchanted baked goods. What begins as a simple favor for the charming local baker, Maribel, quickly spirals into complete culinary disaster when a mysterious new oven starts bringing pastries to life. Muffins attack customers, bread sprouts teeth, and something far more dangerous lurks behind the bakery’s sudden success. This adventure is perfect for players who enjoy: Humorous roleplay Fast-paced combat Creative encounters Cozy fantasy vibes mixed with absurd chaos New players are absolutely welcome, and this adventure is designed to be an easy, fun introduction to Pathfinder 2e. I teach the rules as we play in a relaxed and approachable way, focusing on creativity and player choice instead of rule memorization. If you can imagine it, I’ll help you try it. My GM style encourages out-of-the-box thinking, cinematic moments, teamwork, and improvisation. Want to throw a tray of flaming pastries at a monster? Flip a table for cover? Dive across the bakery to save a screaming customer? Perfect. Pathfinder 2e shines when players get creative, and Kneadful Things is built to let you experiment while learning the game in a warm, welcoming… slightly hostile bakery environment.

About me

Hello! I’m Christian—Game Master, worldbuilder, and lifelong tabletop RPG enthusiast with over 30 years of experience behind the screen. Like many of us, I started with Dungeons & Dragons, but over the years my passion for deep worldbuilding, custom monsters, and immersive storytelling led me to Pathfinder 2E and the creation of my own fantasy setting, Chondara—a world I’ve been developing and refining for more than two decades. My goal as a GM is simple: create memorable adventures where players feel like their choices truly matter. I run games that blend tactical combat, rich storytelling, and player-driven decision making. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or brand new to Pathfinder, I focus on making sure every player feels comfortable, engaged, and excited to return for the next session. Outside the table, I’m also the creator behind Beast Foundry, where I design and publish Pathfinder supplements including new ancestries, spells, monsters, and mechanics. Many of my games feature original content and adventures developed through years of running campaigns and refining ideas at the table. If you're looking for a game that combines strong storytelling, meaningful player agency, and well-prepared sessions, you’ll feel right at home here. Let’s roll some dice and build an unforgettable adventure together. Check me out on this youtube link: https://youtu.be/ddqm8ZeozpM

Character creation

Creating your character

I can provide pre-made character sheets for you to choose from after you sign up or at the start of the game, or you are also welcome to make your own characters through the pathbuilder app or website. I will be happy to walk you through the either process.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Discord Account & Working Microphone We use Discord for voice communication. A clear microphone and stable connection are required. Camera is optional, but audio quality matters. TaleSpire (Free Guest Edition) The game is run in TaleSpire using the free Guest Edition available on Steam. Please download it ahead of time and ensure it runs smoothly on your system before game day. This campaign makes full use of terrain, verticality, and environmental interaction — being comfortable navigating the platform will enhance your experience.

What Christian Chaney brings to the table

What I Bring to the Table I run my games using TaleSpire, a fully 3D virtual tabletop that enhances combat, exploration, and atmosphere. If you’ve never used it before, the free Guest Edition on Steam makes it easy to join. Here’s what you can expect: Immersive 3D Environments Every battlefield, settlement, and dungeon is built to support tactical clarity and visual immersion. Organized Communication Discord is used for voice chat, scheduling, character coordination, and between-session updates to keep the campaign moving smoothly. Prepared, Intentional Sessions I bring decades of GM experience, a strong grasp of Pathfinder 2e, and carefully constructed encounters designed to challenge without overwhelming. Sessions are paced, purposeful, and responsive to player choice. Whether you’re here for tactical combat, immersive storytelling, or long-term character development, you can expect a well-run and engaging table.

Safety

How Christian Chaney creates a safe table

Before Session One, we’ll align on tone and expectations through Discord discussion. We’ll cover: • Desired tone balance (grim, intense, lighter moments, etc.) • Themes or topics anyone prefers to avoid • Expectations around cooperation and spotlight sharing • Boundaries regarding horror elements This campaign includes undead horror, organized violence, and moral tension — but it is not built on shock value. I do not force uncomfortable content for dramatic effect. If something crosses a line, it can be adjusted without derailing the story. We will use simple, clear communication tools: • Direct message or voice interruption at any time • Open-door policy for stepping away • After-session check-ins if needed You are never required to justify your comfort level. At the same time, this is a cooperative game. Respect for fellow players is non-negotiable. Your fun should never come at someone else’s expense. In decades of running games, my priorities remain consistent: A challenging world. A fair table. A story everyone is excited to continue.
