Doomsday Dawn In 4718 AR—later this year—a rare planetary conjunction, in combination with the power of ancient artifacts erected in the desert kingdom of Osirion thousands of years ago, will create a massive portal between Golarion and the hostile planet of Aucturn, at the far edge of the solar system. If this portal appears, it will allow the ravenous aliens of the Dominion of the Black to harvest brains from the peoples of the Inner Sea region on a devastating scale and provide an opportunity for a nascent entity of great power awakening from eons-long gestation to feast upon the world of Golarion. Fortunately, hints of this imminent apocalypse have emerged from the sands of time over the past decade, affording a desperate chance to avert this doom. These hints and clues have become known as the Aucturn Enigma, and unless multiple groups of heroes rise to the challenge of opposing this catastrophe, it could destroy one world forever while simultaneously creating another. Doomsday Dawn is the playtest adventure path for Pathfinder 2nd Edition. In this adventure, taking place over the entire 11 years chronicled in every Pathfinder Adventure Path so far, players will control several different groups of characters as world-shaking events converge to ruin the world. Though you won't always be playing the same party, the decisions you make in each chapter will affect the outcomes of the others, and the adventure path as a whole. This will be a text game, starting at 6:30 PM CDT on Tuesday, August 21, when we'll have our Session 0 and create our first party of characters for Chapter One.

The Red Hand Club is a gaming group, but more than that we're a collection of friends. We have similar interests, including RPGs, video games, anime, movies, sci-fi, comic books, etc., and we enjoy sharing those with our friends in the group! Some notes about the club: Firstly, we're all heavy roleplayers. Combat and exploration are important to us, but we get the most out of the game when our characters are motivated and have a personal investment in the adventure. Second, we really like it when you’re active in the RHC with us. We definitely don't expect you to devote your life to us, but we'd love for you to engage with us and be our friend! Outside of RPGs, we also play tabletop simulator games, watch movies together on Rabbit, and generally just hang out and chat. This isn't a requirement, but it's a huge plus! Finally, most of our games (but not all! This is up to the GM) are text. That means we prefer to do all of our in-character actions, reactions, and speech via Roll20’s chat window. Mechanical questions, and general shit-shooting are still done in Discord’s voice chat, but text RP affords us the ability to focus, think, and consider our characters' responses without the pressure to quickly respond that comes with a voice environment. It’s also more accessible for people who can’t, don’t want to, or are uncomfortable with roleplaying in voice. Also, all of our games tend to be high-production. We typically make full use of music, art, maps, and online handouts in Roll20, so if that tickles your fancy, leave me a comment or DM! --- Some questions for you! What kind of game do you want to play? What’s your favorite kind of RP experience? What’s your ideal player group? Are you okay with text games?
