Gatewalkers - New 1st to 10th level Adventure Path for Pathfinder 2E with a unique focus on mystery and exploration

About the adventure

They called it the "Missing Moment" - that night when mystical gates appeared across the world, showing, to the onlooker, their deepest desire. You were among those who stepped through the gates and among the few that returned, forever changed, from a reality they can now hardly remember. It has been three months. You are now ready to begin a journey that will lead you to the heart of the mystery: to your missing memories, and to the mastery of the powers you gained as a gatewalker. 🌌 Focused 1st to 10th level adventure path. 🌌 Immersive and atmospheric campaign module produced by Paizo for Foundry VTT. 🌌 An original storyline that places the player characters at the centre of its mystery as the "gatewalkers". 🌌 Explore new "deviant" powers beyond the reach of even the most epic adventurers. 🌌 With one of the most reviewed GMs on StartPlaying. This is a brand new 1st to 10th level campaign module that we will be exploring together, in weekly sessions of about three hours. We will be playing through Discord and Foundry VTT (hosted on Forge). This is a uniquely fantastical adventure, even by the standards of D20 fantasy.

Additional Details

How to prepare

A good quality microphone (preferably a headset) is required to use Discord. I also strongly encourage players to use video during games. Games using video conferencing are usually more enjoyable for all parties, as video prevents misunderstandings and miscommunication. In addition you will need (free) accounts for Discord and Forge - the site hosting our Foundry VTT session.

What I provide

All handouts, maps, art, and character-building resources will be provided electronicaly either through Foundry or Discord.

Gameplay details

In this adventure, the players take on the role of "gatewalkers" - unique individuals transformed by their experience with the ancient elven gates that were recently mysteriously awakened. While the game is set in a classic high fantasy setting, the player characters resemble super-heroes in many ways more than classic high fantasy adventurers. In addition, exploring the mystery of that unique event is the key motivation of the adventure, rather than the usual virtuous crusade of most Pathfinder APs. During our first session together we will use a tool called Lines & Veils to set our own limits on what kind of content we are and are not comfortable with seeing included in our adventures. While the adventure path itself doesn't come with any extraordinary content warnings, the central mystery does involve elements of memory loss and memory manipulation, and expects players to opt in to these tropes, as well as to the "backlash" of some of the extraordinary abilities they develop during the adventure. Any language or behaviour that makes other players feel unsafe or unwelcome at the table will not be tolerated.

How will character creation work

Players should familiarise themselves with the Players' Guide specific to the Adventure Path published by Paizo, which includes unique "rare" backgrounds that tie the characters to the story. Players are expected to choose one of these backgrounds - this is what makes a normal Pathfinder character into a "gatewalker". Character creation should be completed before our first meeting together in consultation with the GM. During our session zero we will discuss how these characters came together.
