Rise of the Runelords

 ~~~~A Word Before the Game Description~~~~ 

Edit: This game has been reopened. We have 1 new slot available. The party is finishing Book 1 Part 3 at the moment. If you have applied before, please apply again for consideration.

Many of us in this group are veteran Pathfinder players and GMs. We are open to new players and welcoming to people from all walks of life. We are here to have some fun and play a game. We are not here to compete, finger-point or name call. Childish antics will be removed immediately.

With that being said, our style of play typically involves 10 to 20 minutes of chatting at the start of sessions, followed by diving deep into the story and gameplay. The current players in game are enthusiastic about roleplay and enjoy spending sessions less on the combat and dice rolling and more on the character building. In my opinion, this pairs very well with Rise of the Runelord's unique spread of deep lore, well-built characters and classical storytelling. Be prepared to spend some sessions focused on roleplay, dungeon-crawls, and other classics.

I am an experienced GM with thousands of hours of GMing under my belt. I have run Rise in it's entirety once already, as well as multiple other games. I am, however, not perfect. I do make mistakes and don't know the rules perfectly. I don't currently use music in my games, though that may one day change. Each GM's style is unique and different. Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding my style. Don't feel pressured to perfectly fit into my style either. I like to think I am somewhat adaptable and will do my best to help you feel comfortable. If something I do makes you uncomfortable, please let me know. I will never judge you for respectfully questioning or challenging me.

Now onto the game description:

From the idyllically peaceful coastal town of Sandpoint to an ancient lost city at the top of the world, Rise of the Runelords takes a party of adventurers from 1st to over 18th level and delves into the mysteries of Varisia's ancient past. Millennia ago, the powerful empire of Thassilon ruled the land, dominated by despotic runelords who maintained their power through harnessing the power of rune magic. Thought gone forever, the working of Thassilon are not so far beneath the surface and one of the runelords plans a return to power. Only the brave adventurers stand in his way.
