Hello all! Oddly enough, though RotRL is the first of Paizo's APs, has been out for years, and is one of the most popular APs, I have never GMed it to completion. In RL, in 1E, I GMed a game to Book 3 before the party suffered a TPK. Thus, I got the bright idea to GM it on the boards in 2E style. I am enjoying the system, the 3-action economy, etc. I am no expert on PF2e by any means and appreciate player input. I hope some of you will agree to give it a chance. I will try and keep the story fresh with some surprises as there is a ton of community added content to enhance the original storyline and events.
Expectations from players: At least 1 post a day. Do not apply if you plan on disappearing for long periods of time. I do not expect to start this until after the New Year.
Submissions, character creation, and party: Please let me know what your character motivations/ideals/beliefs are and your connection to Sandpoint, if any. Tell me how you see your character's progression and role in the party. A basic stat block with skills, ancestry, background, and feats without specifics of equipment other than armor/weapon is sufficient. I am very influenced by a character's appearance so I can properly present NPC reactions to your character.
Races: Common and Catfolk, Kobold, Leshy, Ratfolk, and Tengu are allowed. No uncommon versatile heritages.
Classes: All except kineticist, psychic and summoner.
Backgrounds: The RotRL backgrounds, IMO, are not good (except maybe 1 or 2), so feel free to choose any from the Archives of Nethys. Just make sure to explain the logical tie-in to the background chosen in your character submission.
Free archetype at level 2.
Milestone leveling.
15 gp.
Any questions, please let me know.
I'm potentially interested in this campaign.
Have been seeing an uptick in 1e -> 2e conversions on the boards lately, I've noticed.
Been waiting to play this AP since forever. Haven't played 2e yet but will quickly brush up on it.
...in other words, Interested! Will get working on a character breakdown right away.
Leaning hard towards a Wizard...just an FYI
The big question is are we playing 2.0 or 2.1?
On a note less relevant to the game, why does my character muse look at a list of banned options and only give me ideas for the banned options?
I present to you Selina, Varisian human rogue. It's so fast to make a character with Pathbuilder. I will work on her background.
Dotting for interest
Interest dot.
I have started this AP as a player, but the group fell apart due to RL stuff.
We didn't even get that far, so I would love to join.
I'll think of a character. Give me a few days.
Thinking about "Half-orc" (Drommar) Heritage Champion (Paladin).

I am glad to see there is interest.
Philo, 2.1. I may not have the remastered books, but all of the content is on the Archives so pretty easy to access.
Lucendar, lol, that was quick. I look forward to the background.
Snarffleflox, wizards are always welcome.
Scranford, half-orc champion is intriguing. I look forward to reading more.
Question: Is there a Wizard NPC in Sandport that a wizard could have apprenticed under?
Question: Is there a Wizard NPC in Sandport that a wizard could have apprenticed under?
There are 2 wizards in Sandpoint: a gnome wizard named VEZNUTT PAROOH, proprietor of the Way North, a local repository of maps, and a human wizard named ILSOARI GANDETHUS, headmaster of the Turandarok Academy, part orphanage, part school. The latter is higher level, if that matters.

The latter is higher level, if that matters.
I think that Ilsoari would work perfectly, mostly because I'm hoping to take the Academy Dropout background. Perhaps my wizard grew up in the orphanage and eventually became a student? Would that be acceptable?
I would really love a chance to finally play this character; nephew of Kaleb, grandson of Ethram, friend of Ameiko Kaijitsu, and frequent visitor to the Pixie's Kitten. Ceven loves Sandpoint even if his issues with his family overshadow that a bit. He misses his parents greatly; they were killed scouting a new trade route for the family. The trade route became quite lucrative however ...
Im interested and am working on a concept. I'll make a character later today.
Snarffleflox, yeah that definitely works.
Ceven, I like the connection, but what class are you?
MadScientist, look forward to it.
Plotting a bard. Or something of the sort.
If someone takes an ancient elf or some other option with a dedication feat from the get go, what ruling would there be for the level 2 free archetype feat?
I am asking because they are usually not compatible, and I am looking at eldritch trickster racket rogue as one of the options. Thank you!
Snarffleflox, yeah that definitely works.
Ceven, I like the connection, but what class are you?
MadScientist, look forward to it.
Ceven could probably be anything, although at this point I would probably say psychic. In his original formulation, he had studied wizardry in Magnimar, but as as psychic I would say that his parents propbably sent him off to the Twilight Academy in Galduria ... much to the chagrin of his living relatives.
Psychic is on the banned list Ceven…
(Snarffleflox's submission here...)
This is the crunch, minus his Familiar (still figuring out how that even works. lol) and his equipment. Likewise, his backstory's not here yet either. Soon to come!
Will be going with a Human Shoanti Giant Instinct Barbarian, of the Skoan-quah (Skull Clan), with the Bounty Hunter background. Tends to avoid Belor Hemlock in town to avoid any weird “You’re a shoanti too!?!” vibes that might make them think about home too much…
Psychic is on the banned list Ceven…
So true ... Cev will be a Champion of Desna (Soulforger)
and the surviving Valdemars will be equally disappointed)
The Classic meets the System!
I have been most Fortunate to have played and complete the AP in PF1e.
I would love to replay the story as PF2e.
If acceptable then I will begin researching for a submission.?
Thank you for running!
(Got the wheels turning on "Lucky Strikes" Catfolk Swashbuckler..)
hmm... maybe a tengu thaumaturge.
NotEspi - I would also rule that they are not compatible.
Cev - look forward to the build.
Valthric - no worries about the equipment. Look forward to background.
Oceanshield - Giant Instinct Barbarian who smashes things makes a lot of sense in this AP, especially later on with the giants!
Dorian - Proceed!
I totally forgot about the giants, but am looking forward to some “we Shoanti used to be your slave-warrior caste” retributive epithets for any…iunno….Thassilonians out there…
I'd be very interested. Not able to really stat up a character until Jan. 2, though, so not sure what your deadline is. Hope to get something together for it.
I have played the Rise of the Runelords version of the Adventure Card Game, though have never played the adventure path itself. Looking forward to the opportunity.

(Got the wheels turning on "Lucky Strikes" Catfolk Swashbuckler..)
Emphasis on the "s", I guess, Dorian! Might submit another Catfolk for the prospect of having yet another campaign with more than one.
Working on dusting off my 1E tengu gunslinger from a RotRL PbP I played in 10 years ago. We only got to 3rd level and I don't remember much about the campaign at all but had fun with the character. Basically instead of setting up a gun shop as he originally planned after his apprenticeship to a gunsmith, he becomes an itinerant monster slayer hoping to eventually settle a score against the giants who destroyed his village, and finds himself in Sandpoint because he finally found a lead suggesting they had aims to make a run on Sandpoint. IIRC that was inspired by the Giant Slayer campaign trait in 1E.
So I'm looking at a Tengu with Skyborn heritage (Uncanny Agility ancestry feat), Gunsmith background (though I haven't settled 100% on that, since it might be a little redundant with the Munitions Crafter gunslinger feat I'm also looking at taking), and Way of the Drifter gunslinger using a flintlock pistol and a rapier.
I'm pretty experienced in 1E but have not played 2E before, but I do have the rulebook I snagged from a Humble Bundle awhile ago. My gaming group has no interest in trying out 2E right now so this sounds like a good opportunity to try it out.
Alright, everyone. I present my submission, Theya - Human Bard.
Role - I am going for a skill monkey, face, out of combat healing, and backline support (buffs/debuffs). Bards, duh.
I will commit to a forum avatar if I make the cut.
Free-spirited at heart, Theya can be a bit of a troublemaker at times, but she has mostly good relations with the Sandpoint residents. Especially children, as she makes toys and clothes for them.
Every year during Shallowtail Release, she sets up a tent presenting herself as Madame Theya the Weavereader to tourists, and tries to make some extra cash on the side by doing card readings. While not a harrower, she dabbles in the occult and can be convincing.
*Subject to change, depending on finding a suitable avatar image.
Theya is a woman in her late 20s. Her black hair is held out of her face with a headband, showing her almond skin, hazel eyes, button nose, and a face decorated with laugh lines. She wears loose, often layered clothes and a scarf. On her belt, tied to a length of string, she carries a simple cloth doll roughly 7 inches tall. She often says it is a token - the first one she was happy with. Given its age, the doll is surprisingly clean at all times.

Lingering Composition Muse maestro You add a flourish to your composition to extend its benefits. If your next action is to cast a cantrip composition with a duration of 1 round, attempt a Performance check. The DC is usually a standard-difficulty DC of a level equal to the highest[1]level target of your composition, but the GM can assign a different DC based on the circumstances. The effect depends on the result of your check. Critical Success The composition lasts 4 rounds. Success The composition lasts 3 rounds. Failure The composition lasts 1 round, but you don't spend the Focus Point for casting this spell.

Keep in mind that AoN doesn't have the Remaster books up just yet. They've been having some things happen that have slowed their progress a lot (and I hope that they'll be okay). Pathbuilder, Foundry, and Hero Lab (I believe HL anyways) do have all Remaster content available though however.
When I submit my character, I'll include the Pathbuilder link so that any name or ability changes can be easily seen.
Dotting with interest! I haven't been on the boards long but I'm familiar with 2E in person!
I'm thinking of a witch but not set yet!

If I missed anyone, let me know.
Playing around with making him a half-elf wizard rather than human, same basic character, just seeing how it works out and if I like that more. Beyond that, the background is in the works and on it's way soon. :D
I'll express some tentative interest. I've never played 2e and I'm finding what seems to be a vast change in rules to be a bit jarring (I've been away from gaming a few years but I seem to recall moving between versions relatively seamlessly before).
An intro AP like RotR might be a good way for me to become familiar with it given it's appearing more frequently. Maybe with a simple class like fighter (assuming it's simple in 2e).
Do we have anyone applying for a Cleric? Healing might be an issue...
Alright, I've got a couple of ideas. Stat wise, they're good to go, backgrounds aren't full, but there are concepts of who they are.

Mountain Stance (Stance) Requirements You are unarmored and touching the ground. You enter the stance of an implacable mountain—a technique first discovered by dwarven monks—allowing you to strike with the weight of an avalanche. The only Strikes you can make are falling stone unarmed attacks. These deal 1d8 bludgeoning damage; are in the brawling group; and have the forceful, nonlethal, and unarmed traits. While in Mountain Stance, you gain a +4 item bonus to AC and a +2 circumstance bonus to any defenses against being Shoved or Tripped. You have a Dexterity modifier cap to your AC of +0, meaning you don’t add your Dexterity to your AC, and your Speeds are all reduced by 5 feet. The item bonus to AC from Mountain Stance is cumulative with armor potency runes on your explorer’s clothing, mage armor, and bracers of armor.
Flurry of Blows (Flourish, Monk) Make two unarmed Strikes. If both hit the same creature, combine their damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses. Apply your multiple attack penalty to the Strikes normally. As it has the flourish trait, you can use Flurry of Blows only once per turn.

Stat note to ask about is if the alternative attribute method is allowed to prevent the penalty to Strength as every +1 matters! If not, that's perfectly fine.

Davius is a young man trying to figure out where he fits in the world while struggling to grasp the burning rage within him. He does like to try and have fun, but fears that if he's not careful, he could become something darker than he wants to be.
Do we have anyone applying for a Cleric? Healing might be an issue...
Just saw this as I was refreshing. So clerics aren't really a must have in 2e as a character that's based on a Wisdom class can train in the Medicine skill, grab a healer's kit, and patch others up if needed. I've ran a fair amount of parties in 2e without clerics and they've done just fine. So depending on how Runelord want's to run the pacing or handle treasure distribution, a cleric may not actually be needed. However Runelord, if you feel that a cleric would be appreciated, please let us know, I've got another idea for a cleric I can build lol.
This is Dorian Grey's work in progress....
The pics for Catfolk are a bit limited, so excuse this attempt. Does it at least look like a cat?
His Background is being written (in my head) as we speak, although probably not get it out on Profile until Sunday.
Any questions, concerns, comments are welcome.
Yeah, Dorian, it looks like a tiger (Rakshasa). Bad-ass! I agree with KyleS, clerics are only really needed for a severe/extreme encounters (healing in combat). Otherwise, with a good healing skill and a healer's kit and maybe a champion with lay on hands, party can recoup hps as long as they have time to rest in between battles. Clerics also help if game is undead focused. It's nice to have them, but not as necessary as prior edition. My 2 cents.
Ooooh, 2e with need of a cleric? Was originally thinking of drawing up yet another Gunslinger, but will probably draft up a Cleric of Laudinmio, since I figure if I'm playing 2e, might as well go with a God I can't get in 1e.
Obvious plans to dip into Alchemist multiclass archetypes, of course. Probably Catfolk as well in case I run into Dorian yet again, haha.
Here is OSW's Human (Shoanti) Giant Instinct Barbarian. Background is in the alias...
I'm very interested, and would like some lore background on Kobolds in your world (and in Sandpoint in particular).
I know that PF2e is changing the lore to remove the notion of evil humanoid species (and I'm in a 2e game right now where the DM has declared that orc culture is "a bit like fantasy Klingons").
Do you have a vision for what Kobold culture is like? And how Kobolds are seen in Sandpoint? I'm also curious where/how need major Kobold settlements are. All the above helps me to think about my backstory.
In terms of mechanics, I'm leaning toward either an Investigator or an Inventor. Either way, probably Kobold, and probably taking an archetype that lets me dabble more in trapsetting.
- - - EDIT - - -
Oh! Also somewhat curious about the status/commonness/culture/acceptance of Ratfolk and Tengu as well.
Thanks!
Kia ora koutou (that's 'Howdy, y'all'-Kiwi style). I loitered on this attractive offering, decided that I didn't have time to put forth a decent submission, and then contracted COVID. As I'm currently isolating, it would seem that I have time to submit, and thus is born Hoo Wattwinwerewyehau - gnome cloistered priest of The Lantern King. I hope worship of one of the Eldest is an OK submission, GM.
Party role-wise, Hoo is going to attempt to occupy the dual spheres of healing and debuffing. Kinda like a witch that heals. Or maybe a divine trickster. We shall see.
An occasional misunderstanding of the donation(s) in question has recently led Hoo to Sandpoint by way of Abken, Whistledown, and Magnimar - and what fortunate timing as it is Swallowtail Festival season, the perfect time for Hoo to ply their performances and educate the masses on the wonders of The Lantern King! As faithful as they come (and never without their trusty hooded lamp), Hoo doesn't recall how they came to honour the deity of the First World, but honour they shall.

Here is CloakedInSmoke's submission. Stat block, appearance, and backstory are finished. I haven't finalized all the equipment yet of course but got the weapons and armor for sure. Decided to go with double-barreled pistol and shortsword (so the agile trait can sooth that multiple attack penalty) and also grabbed a whip to fulfill my Indiana Jones fantasy. ;-)
As far as party role, definitely striker and scout (that first gunshot is a great subtle signal for the party that I've found something). I chose the drifter gunslinger way so I'm got a pistol and a sword or whip I'll be using to weave in and out of melee range. Definitely not a sniper type, though I don't plan on Leroy Jenkins-ing. Avian's not a reckless type.
As for progression...well, I'm not familiar enough with 2E to really have an idea of how it works. If we don't have an alchemist, I do have alchemical crafting via munitions crafter so I could craft alchemical items for the party during downtime. I plan to use my infused reagents on ammo (and occasionally bombs) for myself especially in the low levels when money supplies are low and I have so few infused reagents to work with. Planning to keep up with acrobatics for battlefield mobility. I've got skyborn immunity from fall damage so I can afford to take a few more risks where heights are involved. I also have Thievery trained and can invest more in that if the party lacks another more dedicated roguish type.
For sure interested, this AP has always seemed like it would be a lot of fun.
I was planning on GMing it at one point, so I have read the first few books, but it was both a few years ago, and the version that was written for dnd 3.5. I hope that's far enough removed to not be disqualifying lmao
Editing to say I think I've narrowed down a character concept, just need to decide now if I want to make a witch or oracle, either way focused on support and getting some healing capability in there. Might just stat them up as both and see how I'm feeling about it after.
Ooooh, 2e with need of a cleric? Was originally thinking of drawing up yet another Gunslinger, but will probably draft up a Cleric of Laudinmio, since I figure if I'm playing 2e, might as well go with a God I can't get in 1e.

Catfolk Cleric is a bit rough. Perhaps, Alchemist (Chirurgeon) with Medic Archetype?
