About the adventure
Florin Kindler lost her parents to one of Ustalav’s most notorious hauntings—they perished, as so many have, after a visit from the Black Coach of Bastardhall. Arguably the most notorious of all the haunted castles of the Inner Sea region, Bastardhall’s mysteries have brought Florin and you in search of answers to the centuries-long curse that blights the ruins, but the castle has other plans than simply giving up what it hides, as those who dare to enter its haunted halls are doomed to vanish forever. Will you be able to break the curse of Bastardhall and escape, or are you fated to become the latest in a long line of vanishings into one of Golarion’s most infamous ruins? The adventure starts right at level 5 with Bastion of Blasphemies and a free Session #0!

About me
Hello and welcome, folks! My name is Mark, I am 26 years old, and I have been DMing D&D 5th Edition for 10 years and Pathfinder Second Edition for 2 years. I have always been a fan of fantasy since I was a kid watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy and playing Warcraft 3 on our family PC. I vividly remember my friend (whom I still play with) bringing his brother's D&D 3rd edition books and creating characters, only to make new ones every time we wanted to play again. Furthermore, I later stumbled upon a little known show called Critical Role and got hooked on the idea of cooperative storytelling, adventure and role-play. Re-discovering what D&D was had sent me down a rabbit hole into fantasy media like never before, and I have eventually found Pathfinder Second Edition. I live in the Central Europe Timezone (CET) and I usually run games at 6:00 AM or 6:00 PM, my time. I am willing to run at games at any other time besides night-time hours (10pm-5am CET). I welcome all players, and love teaching the rules of Pathfinder Second Edition to newcomers. Not only that, but I am confident in my knowledge and experience with the system and can guarantee a smooth game, no matter how complex a situation arises. New or experienced to Tabletop RPGs, I cannot wait to have the opportunity to play with you and unravel the amazing adventures you will set upon.
