Pathfinder Lore - Welcome to Magnimar

[@Kurgosh1]

I'm playing in a game that just reached Magnimar, which is supposed to be my character's home city. As a player, I know little about it, so this will come in very handy.

[@thetoweroftomes]

I hope so! Remember to show it to your GM :)

[@RkKoori]

Idk who would be prouder, Nethys or Irori for this masterpiece! Heck even Shelyn might be as well xD

[@thetoweroftomes]

If just one of them are proud, I'm happy :)

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

This definitely sounds right up Shelyn's and/or Desna's alley.

[@TheLoadingCrew]

1:23:44 - Niplow has the best reaction here "I am not supposed to be here....I regret every decision I made that resulted me here at this moment"

[@thetoweroftomes]

He he yea that's Niplow for ya. 😄

[@animefan3794]

@theloadingcrew Stu, I think your time stamp is off. You timestamped in the middle of underbridge/the shadow.

[@adventuresterling]

This channel is criminally underrated. I love all your videos.

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you so much! I am glad you feel that way! :)

[@crispyleafproductions2563]

BY THE GODS! TWO HOURS?! YOU ARE AMAZING!

[@thetoweroftomes]

You're Amazing! Thanks!

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you! :)

[@nocountryforoldmen6360]

Best Christmas ever. Thanks.

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@ren_dhark]

2 and a half hour of pure Tower of Tomes awesomeness, this is by far the best christmas present I could have imagined! Thank you so much for your hard work!

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you so much for watching!

So I am a life long DM (33 years), who has started solo gaming. I have been enjoying published adventures, and recently I have started Rise of the Runelords. After playing Burnt Offerings and half of The Skinsaw Murders, I decided to look up content here on KZbin, and I found your channel yesterday. I have to say that it was a delight. It gave voices and sights to my solo content and added a new dimension the play. I hope you do more such content, and I will be happy to drop into your Patreon, when I can, to encourage you. As a future patron let me say that adventure path tie-ins will keep me paying. I figure it is only fair to let you know my interest, but let me also say you should make the content that you love. That is how I have always been as a DM, and that is how I think all creative people should be. For now, thank you and well done!

[@thetoweroftomes]

I am so glad to read this, because it is exactly what I aim to do. To immerse viewers, DM's and players alike and give "voice" to the world. All the "Welcome to ..." videos are made with an adventure path in mind. and the one I am working on now will be so as well... And keep it Spoiler free! :) Welcome to the Tower of Tomes! I hope you'll keep enjoying the content and that you'll keep finding it useful!

[@schneiderpants23]

This is fantastic. Such a wonderful fantasy city and adventure setting.

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thanks! Yes Magnimar is awesome!

[@mrr4ven69]

Thank you so much for this amazing work! It makes my life as a DM a lot easier! :)

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you and you are very welcome! I'm glad you find it useful! :)

[@fallchiron]

What a gamechanger of a video, you should be proud! More more more!

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you! Check out the Channel and my Patreon for more :)

[@LinkaNeo]

Thanks for this! Our party just arrived at Magnimar as part of the campaign that starts in Sandpoint. My DM linked us this video to simulate a tour our characters took around the town. Inspired, excellent work!

[@thetoweroftomes]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and thanks to your DM 😊

[@jackjazzhands2357]

Ohjes another one :D Still waiting for Ustalav, we are still in in the campaign :P

[@thetoweroftomes]

He he started a Patreon page where there will be a poll on one tier for what's next. Might very well be Ustalav :) Thanks for watching

[@TarEcthelion]

Thanks for all your hard work. This is awesome. Looking forward to seeing what you no next. :-)

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you so much! Happy New year!

[@jamesadamsfl]

I love this video. Magnimar is such a great city with so much character and so many possibilities for different kinds of adventures. Speaking of characters, the Tower of Tomes folks did a great job filling this video with so many interesting characters to interact with. If I ever ran a Pathfinder game, I'd almost certainly set it in Magnimar. Heck maybe the next video game (after the Starfinder game) will take place here! If not, why?!

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you so much! Yes Magnimar has so much to offer to any gaming group! :)

[@30noir]

If you run an AP many of them take place there, at least in part. Rise of the Runelords and Shattered Star in particular.

[@jamesadamsfl]

@@30noir Thanks

[@xBreaker666]

this is amazing. I'm running Rise Of The Runelords right now for my 5e group and I will use so much of this video just like I used your sandpoint video

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you! Glad you find it useful😊

Is there a good conversion to 5e?

[@blakecurry3755]

This is criminally underappreciated. These videos are awesome. Any plans for Qadira? Kaer Maga is an interesting place, too.

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you for the kind words! I'd like to go through them all to be honest. But Kaer Maga is one of the higher priorities 😊

[@danmaertens7872]

Such excellent quality and immersion! This is superb entertainment, and gets one excited to roleplay and game.

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you! That's exactly what I am hoping for!

[@clutterArranger]

This video is just godlike. I can feel that you are doing this work out of passion. Nobody uploads a two and a half hour video produced this good. Please, please keep up the great work!

[@thetoweroftomes]

Thank you! And yes passion is exactly why! :)

Greetings! I'd like to note that I took some liberties and changed a few things from Paizo's official material. These changes are not done because I don't respect the hard work the good folk at Paizo has done, merely because they seem like errors of a sort. (I could be wrong of course ) :) 1st) ORDELLIA: Originally "Magnimar, City of monuments" states that Ordellia Whilwren moved south of the Yondabakari after seeing the angel atop of the Seacleft spire. This seems like an error as the Ordelliea district lies west of the Yondabakari. 9:50 2nd) ORDELLIA: There is only a very short phrase on Skavner's Fine Tomes. I took the liberty to make him human and call him Willard. :) 19:00 3rd) KEYSTONE: In the "Skinsaw murders" (book 2 of the Rise of the Runelords) It states that the Aquaretum lies in the northernmost end of the Silvershore district. But in "Magnimar, City of monuments" in the Keystone description, it simply states that it lies in the northernmost part of the district (not the Silvershore District). Seeing as it also states that the Silvershore faces the Yondabakari, I figured it was an error in the "Skinsaw murders" description (There's a few errors in that book when it comes to Magnimar). 42:00 4th) KEYSTONE: I moved the Cynosure Tower due to the map, which indicates large mansions and not really a tower where it originally is located in "Magnimar, City of monuments". I thought it made sense to have the tower not too far from "the Burn" as that was where the Varisian Council used to lie and the book also states that Desna is particularly popular among the pure-blooded Varisians. So the location made sense to me. Also there is a nice tower-shaped building at the perfect spot on the map :) 45:37 5th) KEYSTONE: I moved the Varisian Council to the where all the tents and wagons are on the map. This made more sense to me, not just because of the map, but also because it states that the council now lies among the tents and wagons of the districts largest varisian camp, and I don't see a varisian camp, without the council, lying in the wealthiest area below the Summit. 48:48 6th) DOCKWAY: I took the Liberty to name the bartender of No-Horn Bruthalumue 1:12:25 :) 7th) NAOS: I've done my best to figure out just exactly where "The Vista" and "Grand Arch" are. By looking at all the information available this is the conclusion I've come to. 1:39:24 8th) CAPITAL DISTRICT: I placed the "Bridgeward neighborhood" where I felt it made most sense, based on the information available to me. 1:57:40 These should be the only liberties I took and changes I made. Also I'd like to say that this has been a very time-consuming and large project for me and I really appreciate all the support. If you like my videos and wish to support me even more, *please consider joining me on patreon for more custom made content* . There's a link in the description :) Thank you all so much for watching! And if anyone from Paizo sees this, thank you for all the awesome work you put into this most amazing world!

[@TheRulesLawyerRPG]

Is this "player safe"? Can a GM share this with their players if they're running Rise of the Runelords or Shattered Star, for example?

[@thetoweroftomes]

Yes! There shouldn't be any spoilers 😊

1:26:43 in the Runelords game I’m a player of, the clock is no longer there as of our most recent session. Fighting a certain snake of a beetch and her fleshy pet, when only said pet was left our party Sorceress used the first Fireball of the campaign to bring the clockwork, bells, and masonry down on his head.

What goods do you think need smuggling in Magnimar? Since there are barely any laws it's hard to imagine what goods are illegal?

[@thetoweroftomes]

Well there are standard laws. And while places like the sleeping Dryad in the Lowcleft District gets a pass, hard drugs are illegal. Beside that I could imagine that the illegal export of stone from the irespan could be a profitable business too. 😊

[@xBreaker666]

SPOILER! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I actually made that character and after the fact noticed he looked a bit like Aldern from the art in RotRL anniversary edition. I thought about taking him out as the trip to Magnimar in RotRL would be after Foxglove manor. But decided not to as it really isn't him and what if someone went to Magnimar before Foxglove Manor or in a home game and wanted to use him? They could point him out in the video and be like " You see a well dressed man with a cane looking at you. That guy right there." :)
