Order of the Amber Die

A professional roleplaying group dedicated to pushing the envelope of tabletop gaming since 1987.

Order of the Amber Die is a professional tabletop role-playing group that partners with companies in the tabletop gaming industry to both play and present material. Our focus is on playing published material while utilizing the complete rules set for whichever system we are presenting. Most notably, since 2014 we have collaborated with Paizo Inc., the makers of the Pathfinder role-playing game, to present published adventures for their community. We are known for our unique Marathon style of play, which involves gathering our membership together for the longest sessions in the gaming industry (frequently 72 or 96 hours). As a professional organization, we consider it our role to push the envelope of tabletop gaming in an effort to help the game evolve. To this end, we have gone so far as to play on location, as well as setting several world records throughout the years. Consisting of the same GM and an active pool of between ten and fifteen players, we have been an association since 1987. To date, Order of the Amber Die has completed 152 published adventures across five editions of the game, which remains the current lead.

The Rising Wake was on our hot list for 2027, but it's here NOW!

From the mind and pen of Brandon Gillam -- Runehammer -- comes The Rising Wake, a massive adventure with a fresh backdrop. Think of Casmaron, and similar places that we've seen at the edge of our eastern maps. And yes, that's Wayne Reynolds Artworks for the outstanding cover art!

Runehammer packed this with 170 pages that will take your party to level 10, and leave you primed for your next 11-20th level adventures. It's designed for PF2E, with new archetypes, new backgrounds, and some new thrills when it comes to combat.

Since the first marathon session that we played alongside Brandon during one of our Paizo Blog projects, we've been wanting to see what he could do with writing adventures for Pathfinder. The ideas we got to hear about while he was putting together The Rising Wake had us fired up. Now we get to find out!

It's available straight from Runehammer or over at DriveThruRPG:

With our playthrough of The Dead God's Hand complete, it's time for the stuff you never got to see!

Here is an unboxing video from the night before our 2nd marathon session back in July. Remember that REALLY sick build with the statue of Arazni? Well, Morgan Rands of Black Bard Studios is famous for upping the difficultly on our unboxing attempts, and with any unboxing you only get one take if you plan to film it!

Check it out:

Now go see this incredible build in its final form over on the Paiz...

Many thanks to Rob and Ryan for putting on an awesome show!

The Dead God’s Hand stands out among Pathfinder 2e adventures for the time and love that went into it. And no GM puts more time and love into their campaigns than Adam Smith of the Order of the Amber Die.

The Dead God's Hand: Purposely lost footage.

Talk about epic, Aroden was one of our own party members! Earthfall was just beginning, we actually got to wield the legendary sword: the Azlanti Diamond! Let's go, cut down the Veiled Masters who control ancient Azlant, and SEIZE YOUR DESTINY!

With our final Paizo blog playthrough report approaching for this project, it's time for a look behind the scenes of The Dead God's Hand!

Yup, that's our GM, who hasn't been featured at all up until now during this project. You know it's serious when Adam is out from behind his line of screens!

All Library Tier members of our Patreon just got a bunch of content from The Dead God's Hand, these three photos are just a glimpse!

Deep in the Test of Aroden, with TPK looming, prospective OAD member Logan Ernst (simulating Aroden himself) became separated from his allies! Making matters worse, Lord Aroden faced off 1v1 against Lord Pandelay, a longtime nemesis. Can you feel the pressure?
