Jacksonville Roleplaying Games RPGs Meetup Group

Join “WISH” An Aftermath! Fantasy Survival Campaign
No experience necessary—new players welcome!

About the Game
WISH: Wilds, Isolation, Sorcery & Havoc drops modern-day people into a strange, untamed world where magic just woke up and so did five rival ideologies. We’re playing with the Aftermath! system (survival first, hard choices always) plus a light layer of mystical rules that the characters must discover in play.

Campaign Premise
You awaken in a deep forest with no gear, no answers, and a handful of other survivors. As you learn to hunt, craft, and improvise tools, you also discover that some of you can channel forces you don’t understand. Early leaders splinter into factions that will shape the new world:

• Laws of Magic – Tablet-and-edict faith that regulates magic with strict codes.
• The Embrace – Community-first spellcraft used openly for the common good.
• Magic Militia – “Power protects” weaponized magic in disciplined ranks.
• School of Balance – Druids and scholars keeping nature and sorcery in harmony.
• Council of Mundus – Anti-magic inquisitors who ban and punish all use.

As a player, you’ll struggle to survive, choose who to trust, negotiate with towns, and decide what magic should (or shouldn’t) be.

What to Expect

• Engaging Storytelling: Mystery, exploration, and faction politics with real consequences.
• Survival Meets Sorcery: Foraging, crafting, and base-building—plus risky new spells.
• Player Agency: Your choices steer laws, trade routes, and whether magic is regulated, shared, militarized, balanced, or banned.
• Collaborative Play: Social intrigue, skill challenges, and tactical encounters, combat when it matters.

New to TTRPGs? Perfect.

• Beginner-Friendly: We’ll teach Aftermath! and the setting as we go.
• Onboarding Support: Quick-start characters, safety tools, and a one-page rules primer.
• Supportive Table: Inclusive, team-focused vibe.

Campaign Overview: The Rebuilding of Minkai

Our ongoing Pathfinder adventure takes place in Tian Xia, within the storied empire of Minkai. The campaign begins in the aftermath of the fall of the Jade Tyrant, when the empire, long under the shadow of corruption and foreign influence, finally begins to heal. Though the usurper’s reign has ended, Minkai is far from stable: provinces are in disarray, local lords jockey for power, and ancient forces once suppressed by imperial rule begin to stir again.

The player characters are not wandering adventurers, but agents of the Imperial Land Survey, a newly reconstituted branch of the bureaucracy charged with restoring order to the countryside. Their work is part political mission, part humanitarian effort, and part exploration. They travel through villages and remote provinces to reestablish borders, assess damages, and resolve local disputes—often uncovering supernatural or political threats lurking just beneath the surface.

If you are interested, we play Bi-Weekly.

This is a beginner-friendly game; you don't need any experience with Pathfinder or role-playing in general to join. If you feel uncomfortable generating a character for this game, the GM can help or provide you with one.

We are playing Pathfinder 2e (remastered) and play rules-as-written.

However, joining this game requires access to a laptop, a licensed copy of Pathbuilder 2e ($5), and availability to play every other Saturday.

Please get in touch with me BEFORE joining, as we need to review the rules (as you missed session 0) and create a character for you before the game.
