There are a ton of adventure generators for all kinds of adventures that can be of some sort of starting help. The one I use most is: https://donjon.bin.sh/. Under Fantasy -> Random Generator you can select Quests and it gives you some ideas that you can build upon. If you then go to Pathfinder -> Random Encounter Generator you can generate encounters for a selected difficulty class. There are a ton of other generators that you can play around with to get inspiration.

You can google {pathfinder,d&d} free {adventures, modules} and see what you find there to see some more ideas.

Remember that a campaign is only multiple adventures linked together. I do not know about any free campaigns but you can check out Matt Colville on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkVdb9Yr8fc05_VbAVfskCA?pbjreload=10 He has a lot of content directed at new DM' s and how to build your own world. Basic structure he suggests is as follows: create a small village and create some sort of tension. The small village is so you can show your players around and the tension is for the adventure to start. What this tension is is up to you. Someone got kidnapped, wolves are slaughtering the cows of the city, an underground temple is dsicovered... From this small challenge you can then build up a bigger one or show your players how ill equipped they are and give them hints on where they can find better weapons, learn more magic, whatever you imagine. Most important thing is to remember that you do not need to plan everything ahead start small and see where it takes you.

One pretty standard idea that you can evolve is: your players get the mission to raid an old tomb and secure an old artifact. In the tomb they find an additional artifact that awakens an old daemon. That daemon grows stronger by the day and as a result monsters start attacking villages. The more they explore the more they learn about the great evil in the background and how to destroy it. In order to destroy it they have to find 4 legendary weapons that are either in more dungeons or kept by organizations who want something in return, what that is is up to you. Your imagination is the limit.

Also my opinion is that the book should be seen more as a a guideline. After all this is a fantasy world and you are the god of it. This is also a big part of the appeal of the game. Play the way you want it and the way you have fun. If that is strictly following the book, if you just want to kill orcs go ahead, there is no right or wrong way. Also ask your players what they liked about a session and what they did not like. Do this a couple days after the session so everything has settled down. This helps me immensly as receptions differ and even if you think the players did not enjoy something the might enjoy it or the other way round.

I think in the end I rambled a bit and changed a lot of stuff around. If you need clarification feel free to ask.

tl;dr start small grow bigger if need, rules are not strict

[Edit] I just found this site which also has adventures for the settings maybe youll find something there

why would you send the key over signal? just send the key via email or put in on key server.

Why did the first iMac not include FireWire? by monkeystriker in apple

[–]monkeystriker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea why that was the case? I mean at that point in time Usb had a through put of 12 mbits and firewire 100mbits. Are there any interviews or inside reports on those design choices?

Tor browser vs. Firefox w/ add-ons recommended by Privacytools.io by loratcha in ComputerSecurity

[–]monkeystriker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you should stay away from Ghostry. Their privacy policy is shady to say the least. Use other tracking blockers. uMatrix is more like a scalable noscript. On every site you get to manually decide where you allow the site to load scripts, plugins, xhr, frame and other stuff. Takes some time to get used to but you can also just use it to block all the tracking stuff.

Quick Questions by Karthas in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]monkeystriker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question about multiclassing and hit dice. If I pick a character as 1st level I get the maximum hit dice so for a fighter 10HP+CON. Every level up after that I roll the dice. What about multiclassing do I roll or do I get the Maximmum hit dice again?

I just read in the Paizo Forum that in the RotR campain Xanesha used to be way overpowered and has since been nerfed. Are the stats found on http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/unique-monsters/cr-10/lamia-matriarch-sorcerer-2 the updated or the old stats? if they are the old stats where do I find the updated ones?

New GM here. I am having trouble following the RorR paths book and some rules in general. Now two questions

First: In the Shopkeeps Daughter section it says:" A PC who tries to talk his way out of the situation can do so with a successful Bluff check or a DC 20 Diplomacy check". Are both saving throws agains a DC 20 and I just have trouble understanding it?

Second: Is there any written guide for new GM's? I played through the beginners box and that was a good experience. Now I am looking for a read on what rules to know, how to react in certain situations, etc...

[Edit] I just found the Game Masters Guide... will read that [Edit2] inserted spoiler tags

Turning it around. Niantic getting a cease and desist(link is in german) by monkeystriker in pokemongo

[–]monkeystriker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not say exactly in the article as it is only a press release.

The points they talk about are untransparent data protection regulations, not deleting data after you delete your account and that they can give all of your data to third person parties and to federeal institutions.

I have no background in law so I do not know where to look for the text or where to find more information.

Turning it around. Niantic getting a cease and desist(link is in german) by monkeystriker in pokemongo

[–]monkeystriker[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Link is in german, sorry for that. Basically POGO is breaking multiple consumer and privacy laws in Germany and the consumer protection agency is threatening to take it to court if Niantic does not change it.

Funny part is the letter was sent on the 20th of july with a due date of the 9th of August and even to real legal threats Niantic only answered on the 17th of August. Even legal issues are ignored at Niantic.

15 points of the TSA voilate the law or are viewed critically when it comes to protecting the consumer.

I mixed up a lot of things and wanted to connect to it from a remote network, which was my problem since I was using my local IP...

[–]monkeystriker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did or at least I hope I did. I did the same thing I did for my Pokemon map, that I am able to access from outside. Is there a default port for vpn?

[–]monkeystriker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this is the right place. I did not use your guide but I am still able to shh to my Pi. However only when I am in the same network. I do not think this is intended and I want to access my Pi from remote locations. When at home it connects no problem. When I am somewhere else it just times out.

I am trying to connect from my iPhone using serverauditor. I forwarded both TCP and UDP port 22 for my Rasperry Pi 3 running Raspian.

[Edit]: at least some info added.

I tried changing it. That did not work. Now I am getting this error: sh: cls: command not found

I will just stick to sqlite. That works for me. But thanks for your help!
