The Adventures!
-
Wardens of Wildwood
As the fledgling nation of Taldor grew over millennia, it picked away at the surrounding wilderness, felling valuable trees while riling the beasts, fey, and other inhabitants into generations of cyclical violence. Only millennia later did Taldor and the forest’s eminent druids of the Wildwood Lodge negotiate lasting peace with the Treaty of the Wildwood. Even so, civilization continues to be a threat to the forest. As forest dwellers gather for the annual Greenwood Gala, the election of Lodge leadership, and the renewal of the treaty, there’s an opportunity to resolve old grudges—and as much potential to spark war.

Triumph of the Tusk
The Resurrection Flood is an orc-focused Pathfinder adventure for four 3rd-level characters. The adventure begins the Triumph of the Tusk Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which an eclectic band of dignitaries become battle-hardened survivalists fighting for orcs’ homeland and independence. This volume includes an overview of orc culture, an exploration of the Flood Truce tradition, new magical items, and fearsome creatures that wander the wilds!
-
Gatewalkers
Paranormal adventure abounds when an ancient curse at long last lifts from the River Kingdom of Sevenarches. The heroes trek into the ancient forest realm in search of answers, but first they find violent druids, wicked fey hunters, and paranoid townsfolk. Behind it all is an enigmatic bogeyman who pulls the strings from a coterminous plane of spindly shadows. Can the characters unravel the schemes of Kaneepo the Slim? How does the fatal obnubilate curse relate to their missing memories? And what awaits them on the other side of the Seventh Arch? There's just one way to find out!
-
Stolen Fate
Not even destiny itself is safe when powerful forces seek to seize control of the future, and now it falls to a band of heroes selected by the power of a magical Harrow deck to step in and ensure that fate is not stolen from the world! Already noteworthy in their own right, this new band of adventurers finds themselves quickly swept up in a race to gather and control the scattered cards of a powerful, mysterious artifact tied to the destinies of all who live on Golarion. It’s a race that must be won, for to lose means all possible futures fade save for one—a stolen fate meant to bring power to a very select few and leave the rest of reality in ruin!
-
Seasons of Ghosts
Something strange is happening to your hometown of Willowshore! Nestled on the banks of a river winding through the legendary Specterwood in Tian Xia’s haunted land of Shenmen, the people of Willowshore are no strangers to supernatural threat, but the danger that comes to town on the first day of summer is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Over the four seasons to come, you and your fellow home-grown heroes must face evil spirits, sinister fiends, and frightening curses, lest the town of Willowshore succumb to the Season of Ghosts!
-
Abomination Vaults
Enter the megadungeon! Evil stirs in the depths of the Abomination Vaults, a sprawling dungeon where the evil sorcerer Belcorra Haruvex attempted to raise an army of monsters hundreds of years ago. Brave heroes must venture into a dungeon full of beasts and traps to prevent a spiteful villain from rising again. The Abomination Vaults Adventure Path is a three-part, monthly series of connected adventures that comprise a complete Pathfinder campaign.
-
Prey for Death
The infamous Red Mantis assassins are feared throughout the world for their ruthlessness and legacy—those they slay stay dead! Yet they are not without honor, so when a group of assassins sent on a dangerous mission are met with unexpected treachery, they must clear their own names while remaining true to their murderous calling, even as greater plots and shocking truths reveal themselves. Prey for Death gives players the chance to play members of the world's most notorious assassin's guild, facing powerful monsters ready to threaten high level characters!
-
Kingmaker
The Kingmaker Adventure PatH follows the rise of a brand-new country—a kingdom that your player characters created and oversaw! Face off against bands of bloodthirsty bandits, deadly and dangerous monsters, and mysterious menaces from other realities as you fight to claim the Stolen Lands as your own. Will you rule with justice and mercy, or will you become the very monsters you fought to oppose? In the Kingmaker Adventure Path, the destiny of the world’s newest nation is yours to decide!

WHAT IS AN ACCELERATED ADVENTURE PATH?
Finally, you’ll finish an Adventure in under three years! Many groups struggle to meet weekly, monthly, or whatever the schedule is. Life happens, and we get that. We want you to play for the entire weekend, and by the end, you'll have finished the whole adventure with its beginning, middle, and end! Start with a new character and end with a complete story. That’s what we do… so you’ll have an epic tale to discuss for years!
Our curated Adventures are accelerated to get you to the action and make sure you hit all of the “Big Epic Roleplay Moments” and the “Big Boss Battles”; you’re the “Big Damn Heroes,” and the world needs your help! Each session throughout the weekend will take you to impactful mile markers in the story. Starting on Friday morning and ending on Sunday afternoon, you’ll enjoy playing through our curated guided Paths with the fulfillment that you did everything meaningful in the game.
“Go with like-minded friends ready to spend most of the day on the campaign if you can, but even if you go alone, you'll likely meet new people just as excited about playing as you are!” - Kevin

Escaping for the weekend with my friends was an absolute delight. The chance to unwind, engage in gripping RPG rounds, and reconnect with everyone was simply rejuvenating. As the dice rolled and our characters embarked on thrilling quests, laughter, and stories flowed effortlessly, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie that was truly special. Our Gamemaster, a masterful storyteller, adeptly guided the game, infusing it with an extra layer of excitement and authenticity that enhanced the entire experience. Playing in a relaxing setting allowed us to dive into a world of fantasy and strategy while catching up on each other's lives. The shared moments of victory and the occasional setbacks were met with cheers and good-natured groans, creating a dynamic and engaging ambiance. These hours of immersive gameplay served as a perfect backdrop for rekindling connections and making lasting memories. In the hands of our skilled GM, the game came alive in ways that enriched our bonds and made the weekend truly unforgettable.

TESTIMONIALS
If you are a veteran of tabletop RPGs or just starting out, you will be amazed at how much fun you will have. The DM's are all amazing, the staff is incredible, and the thrills are endless! The DMs work with you throughout the entire process, before you even sit down at the table. By the time you sit down, you have made new friends and are in for the adventure of a lifetime! - Adam
This was easily the smoothest and most cohesive game I've ever been in (though that was probably the point of turning it into an event, lol), not to mention the most unique story. - Spenser
Amazing job running a table of six people and condensing a campaign packed with material while letting us each try to tell a bit of our story! - Aethelas
