About the adventure
🏰 Bastion of Blasphemies 🩸 For centuries, a strange, scorched ruin loomed atop an island in eastern Ustalav, the fog-shrouded land of horrors. On clear days, the re-blackened towers and crumbling walls of this ancient castle are visible to those plying the river to the east. On some nights, when the fog is light and thin, one might spy lights flickering, as if from high tower windows, yet no such towers rise above the castle today. In fact, no such towers rise above the castle on most days. Only when the Black Coach, a dreadful procession of profane entities, rides forth from the castle grounds and bids visitors to enter the castle does the true terror start. Will you be the castle's conquerors or its latest victims? 🛠️ Campaign Details⚔️ This intense, Gothic horror campaign rife with deadly combats, mind-spinning mysteries, and psychological horror takes characters on a cinematic, foreboding, yet memorable adventure through the worst legend in Ustalav's history: Bastardhall (a.k.a. the Bastion of Blasphemies). The campaign is structured as follows: - Levels 1-2: Secrets of the Unlit Star - Levels 2-5: Troubles in Grayce - Levels 5-13: Bastion of Blasphemies That's three official PF2e modules we'll experience across 30-40ish sessions of play! If it takes longer than that, I'm down to keep playing for as long as the players continue enjoying it! I use the official Foundry VTT modules for epic maps, dramatic lighting, amazing hand-outs and visual aids, and music to set the mood. If you like a blend of dread, horror, and mystery alongside your epic combat encounters as you explore a massive forgotten stronghold, then this campaign is for you! If you don't enjoy either horror or deadly combat encounters or you dislike Metroidvania/exploration-heavy games, then you might not enjoy this campaign as much. Whether you're a beginner or a veteran, all will find a safe, welcoming, and accessible game to play at my table!

About me
Avast, ye intrepid adventurer! Ye hast...*Ahem*. Perhaps I should be serious. Hello, there! I'm Enigmaze, but you can call me Enigma. I have been DMing for 10 years (as of 08/2026). Throughout those years, I've ran a variety of systems ranging from D&D 5E to Exalted: Essence and even V:tM 5E and, recently, Daggerheart. My interests are vast and varied. Odds are, I either already have a game for you OR I likely have one (or will have one) in the works!

Creating your character
We will create characters during Session 0. Players are free to use Pathbuilder to test out ideas prior to Session 0. However, the official character sheet the player uses throughout the game must reside within Foundry. All Common classes, ancestries, items, and feats from official Paizo-only books are allowed for this campaign (so, no third-party options). If a player wishes to use an Uncommon or higher rarity for something, they must get it approved by me first.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Ensure you have a clear, working microphone and stable internet connection prior to the game's start time. You will also need Discord for VC and a free Sqyre account to access the game on Foundry.

Safety
How Enigmaze creates a safe table
During Session 0, players will privately send me their personal Lines and Veils for the campaign either through Discord DMs or a message on SPG. I will then present those Lines and Veils to the table so we can all pledge to abide by them. I also implement 10 minute breaks at dramatically appropriate times during sessions.
