Hello, I'm happy to announce my first published adventure for the Pathfinder Second Edition system, "Breath of the Jotunlord". Its an adventure for seventh level PCs, set in a remote mountain cave complex that I've tried to ensure can be dropped into most game worlds. The story sees the PCs tasked with investigating and stopping a creeping ice age. While the story is designed to be self-contained, there are hooks and possibilities for how some of the NPCs could drive further adventures.
In terms of content, its between 2/3rd a level of XP and a full level of XP, mostly depending on how much your table values random encounters while travelling. It is intended to be roughly 8-12 hours of play. Two custom maps, nine custom creatures, two custom hazards. The adventure makes use of a ticking clock to maintain a sense of urgency once the party is in the blighted zone, while still allowing some rests, and encouraging negotiation with a couple of NPCs for safer rest areas (or a tougher fight to clear them out).
Parts of it might be a touch too complex -- I wanted to explore an option for more dynamic, but plannable, combat environments with a pulsating wind mechanic. Playtest groups were a bit split on it; I simplified it, but still left it in under the theory that its often easier for a GM to cut something they don't like. Likewise some of the custom creatures might have 1-2 more abilities than they truly need to tell their stories. Definitely a place I'll need to fine-tune my
adventure crafting on the next product.
The PDF offering comes with two version -- w/ and w/o a decorative background as well as both maps as standalone files. The Foundry version has styled journals, scenes pre-walled and lit, all the custom actors pre-staged. Both Foundry and PDF versions have embedded reference pages for the common traits used in the encounter areas, and one-page quick references for each floor of the dungeon -- these dungeon quick references are an experiment and I'm curious to see if folks find them useful at the table.
There's a PDF version available on DriveThruRPG and a Foundry premium module at the Foundry Marketplace. Either version is priced at $9.99.
I am working on a longer levels 1-6 adventure as my next endeavor.
DriveThruRPG is running a 60% off sale this month on many Pathfinder/Starfinder titles. I didn't have my titles properly configured to be auto-included, but I am running a matching sale, so for the rest of the month (May 2026), the PDF version is discounted from $9.99 down to $4.00.
