About the adventure

This campaign is a collection of eight paranormal mysteries set across Golarion, with each case functioning as its own one-shot that can be completed in one session. Expect everything from mysterious beasts stalking the forests and secret societies to strange mirrors, cursed pacts, and the unsettling aftermath of a demonic artifact. IMPORTANT!! Some of the casefiles deal with topics that could be considered triggering. Before each session, I will explain what those topics are and, if needed, you can skip that session with no charge. I encourage you to use the safety tools described below throughout the campaign as needed.

About me

Hello! I'm Maggie, and I've been playing TTRPGs for 7 years and GMing for the past 2. I primarily run Pathfinder 2e, but I also enjoy dabbling in games like Daggerheart, Dungeons and Kittens, and recently, 13 Omens.

Character creation

Creating your character

We will discuss character creation in Session 0 (which is free!). You will be starting at level 3 and characters should be created in Pathbuilder and Foundry after you are given access to the server.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You'll be joining my private Discord and Foundry servers!

What Maggie brings to the table

I'll provide everything you need to investigate the cases the archivist has left behind! Expect a spooky, investigative game with plenty of roleplay, unsettling mysteries, and dangerous encounters. I know the rules, but I'm not afraid to embrace the Rule of Cool when it makes for a memorable moment. My goal is to create a tense, atmospheric adventure where you can unravel the mystery at your own pace.

Safety

How Maggie creates a safe table

Once you join the server, there will be a Lines and Veils document for you to fill out and send back to me. We'll take a break about halfway through the session, and end the game with a discussion about how things went. If you don't feel comfortable saying something in front of the other players, you'll have your own channel in the server where you can message me privately. You can also use that channel to send an X, N, or O at any point during the session.
