In prison, especially where I am at, there is not a lot to do. Add in Covid, and that limitation becomes even more limited. There are a few things that I have found over the years to help me pass my time. (I have been in prison going on 9 years now. Since 10-26-2013) Some of which is getting my GED, studying a paralegal course and doing advanced studies in Criminal Law, learning Spanish, German, and working on French. And also many, many Bible studies even though I am not Christian. Though the one thing that has helped me the most over these years is a game called “Pathfinder”.
This is a table top role playing game based off of the oldest TTRPG created called “Dungeons + Dragons!” Pathfinder is a product from a company called Paizo. The campaign that really got “Pathfinder” started is called “Rise of the Rune Lord”. Pathfinder is now in its second edition with new rule system and adventures that people can play and advance their characters in. These adventures tells a story, that the players use the characters they create to go through and develop their characters they act out. Sometimes we really do physically act them out. Most of the time, however, we just adopt the personalities of our characters. I would like to take this time to tell you the story of 4 unassuming heroes and how they came together to form a bond in the most unlikely of ways. And in hopes to survive and save the people they can to adopt as not only their family, but also adopt their home as well. (I say in hopes to save because we don’t know as of yet if they will survive. We haven’t started playing just yet.) Now I do have to mention that all of the events that I am to write about are all created by Paizo. The adventure book that we are using is called “Pathfinder Adventure Path: Rise of the Rune Lords Anniversary Edition.”
In my next entry, I will introduce the main characters, their background ect. This will be used as reference as to the difference between Paizo’s characters, and the ones we created using the Paizo Pathfinder world and system. This is a fan fiction using the Pathfinder world and system. Anyone can go to Paizo.com for more information about the Pathfinder world and system.
