Naltulth: Candulhurst is a third-party Pathfinder 2e TTRPG setting live on Kickstarter! The frigid northlands of Naltulth are icy cold and covered in mountainous regions, wastelands, tundra, and snow as far as the eye can see. It has some of the harshest winters, some of the shortest summers, and is by far one of the most dangerous places to adventure in.

I am joining the call for #PaizoAccountability. A number of allegations were brought up against Paizo and upper management. I would like to see better conditions and protections for workers, an independent investigation of the allegations, and management being held accountable for any misdeeds. I do this not to "cancel" Paizo but because I want to go back to loving the company that creates one of my favorite products.
