About the adventure
In the sleepy coastal town of Sandpoint, evil is brewing. An attack by crazed goblins during the annual Swallowtail Festival quickly turns into something more ominous as the shadows of a dark past come back to haunt the town—and perhaps all of Varisia. Can the heroes stop the awakening of a legendary runelord and keep him from reclaiming his lost kingdom of greed? The Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path begins with a goblin attack and takes players on an epic journey through the land of Varisia as they track a cult of serial killers, fight depraved backwoods ogres, stop an advancing army of stone giants, delve deep into ancient dungeons to reclaim weapons of unbelievable power, and finally go up against an all-powerful wizard-king in his ancient mountaintop city! This is the first Pathfinder Adventure Path ever published and has been updated from its original 3.5 D&D rules to Pathfinder 1E with the Anniversary Edition. I have personally played through this Adventure path six times four as game master and two as a player! It is my personal favorite story and is filled with everything an adventure would want; from goblins, to giants, to undead to dragons and even mad wizards, this campaign has it all! Looking forward to playing with you all and if you have any question don't hesitate to message me here or over on discord at DerWolf#0001

About me
My name is Charles known online as DerWolf. I have been GMimg for over 31 years having started game mastering back in the days of second edition D&D! Today I run a number of different systems including; Pathfinder1e & 2e, Star Trek Adventures, Fallout 2d20, Battletech RPG, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Dungeon and Dragons (All Editions) Call of Cthulhu7th edition and many other lesser known TTRPGs. If you have a system you'd like to try, message me and let's talk about setting up a game! My main goal in all games is to focus on the players enjoying each session. This is of course the responsibility of the Game Master but also falls onto the players to make sure they are working with the game master and the other players in the interest of collaborative story telling and good ole fashioned roleplaying fun. I strive each session to help everyone feel engaged and involved in the story so that the collaboration part of, collaborative story telling, is easy! If you'd like to talk about a custom game setting or specific system don't hesitate to reach out to me! I'm happy to work with you and your friends to set up the game of your dreams! With all that said, let me put it this way... "I'm the second best game master you know..." - DerWolf Happy gaming! ... and remember, "The dice have a story to tell." 📚 Campaigns Finished on SPG- name followed by number of times ran.

View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will take place during sessions zero where we will go over the the basics of the setting, the story, and the "How to" of character creations. I run character creation as a collaborative experience with the group so that everyone has a chance to discuss ideas and character concepts together.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Come with a basic knowledge of the ruleset for Pathfinder1e, it will be helpful if you understand first level character creation using point buy and have access to both a video camera, microphone, and computer. A roll20 account is also needed, which is free for players!
What DerWolfDenGaming brings to the table
I will provide all the needed rulebooks and content to complete the adventures. I will also record and provide a 1080p High Definition video of each of the sessions for the player to keep. I also have macros for use on roll20 if players desire to use those over the build in character sheets.
