For those not in the know, Pathfinder is a tabletop role playing game,
think cooperative storytelling with dice and making silly voices etc.
Basically, one person runs the game, taking the role of the NPC's
(non-player characters) both friendly to the players and enemies such as
goblins and anything else that is not the players characters. As for
the player, they create or "roll up" a character, choose a class such as
wizard, warrior (think of it as the things the specialize in) and a
race such as human, gnome or elf. We take up a mindset as that character
and play through the trials and challenges the game master or "GM" puts
before us, but we have to use knowledge that our characters have, not
what we as players know. It's really fun and become one of my favorite
hobbies over the last few years. I run a game every second Sunday, and play in a game every Thursday night run by my good friend Charles.
So some friends and I are playing a Pathfinder campaign called Skull and Shackles, we're a few sessions in and have been having a blast. It's a pirate themed campaign, one where our characters were kidnapped and forced to work on a pirate ship.
