Skull & Shackles
After completing the Rise of the Runelords, our group has moved on to the Skull & Shackles adventure path. I decided to play Damiel, the alchemist from the Character Add-On Deck. He's the one on the left in the picture above. I chose him because I like the idea of...

We Finished the First Pathfinder Adventure Path!
So, we finished. The last adventure presented some difficulties that had some players in our six-player game left with no cards at the start of their turn. The few lucky players that had cards left were able to make up the difference though, but it wasn't the most fun...
