About the adventure

Deep beneath the streets of Absalom, you awaken a prisoner. For two weeks, Clan Orthux has held you captive in a forgotten stronghold far below the City at the Center of the World. Drugged with a strange blue substance that has clouded your memories, you have endured forced labor while your captors search for something hidden beneath the city—an ancient place connected to Aroden, the dead god of humanity. Tonight, something has changed. One group of prisoners has vanished into the tunnels. Most of the guards have rushed after them. And in the confusion, someone has made one very important mistake: They forgot to lock your cell. What begins as a desperate prison escape soon becomes something much greater. Your search for freedom leads into the Lost Sanctum of Aroden, a place sealed away from the world for more than a century. Ancient tombs, forgotten relics, strange machinery, and guardians who have continued their sacred duties long after their god's death await within. And somewhere in the darkness lies the legendary Dead God's Hand. The Dead God's Hand is an official Pathfinder Second Edition adventure taking characters from level 1 through level 6. It combines dungeon exploration, combat, mystery, roleplay, ancient history, and meaningful character choices, with the story eventually leading into the legendary Test of Aroden. 🎲 What to Expect This campaign is new-player friendly. You don't need previous Pathfinder 2e experience, and I'm happy to help with character creation and learning the system as we play. Experienced players are equally welcome. Characters can use one of the adventure's special campaign backgrounds to connect themselves more closely to Absalom and the story, or choose from other approved Pathfinder options. Expect: 🗝️ Prison break and survival 🏛️ Exploration of ancient ruins ⚔️ Tactical Pathfinder 2e combat 🔎 Mysteries, secrets, and lost history 🎭 Memorable NPCs and roleplaying ⭐ Choices that can have consequences later in the adventure 🧭 A complete level 1–6 campaign We'll play using Foundry VTT, with Discord for voice. Whether The Dead God's Hand is your first Pathfinder adventure or you're an experienced player looking to explore one of Absalom's greatest forgotten mysteries, you're welcome at the table. Your captors left the door open. Freedom is somewhere ahead—but so is a secret that has remained buried since the death of a god.

About me

Hello. Looking forward to exploring new games and systems with you all. I have GM’ed dnd5e and a bunch of pbta games but currently playing a lot of daggerheart and pathfinder 2e, also diving into starfinder 2e. Played some free league games and love learning teaching new games as well. I think one of my main strengths as a GM is my patience and ability to teach games.
