Order of the Amber Die

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.

We've been playing in the same location for 24 years.

We played D&D 3.5 until 2013, when we switched to Pathfinder. Rise of the Runelords was our introduction, and Fort Rannick was our favorite scene. We completed all the side quests to rebuild the fort, much like the work we've done on the house that has been our studio since 2002.

While repairing the siding following a marathon where the grill hadn't been pulled out far enough, Sean said, "Guys, this feels like Fort Rannick."

This weekend, we'll hang a long overdue sign from the sycamore.

We're halfway through ANOTHER adventure path! They're stacking up over the years, and this family of dwarves has earned its place among our other parties. Check out part three of The Sky Scions on the Paizo Blog:

Deep into our journey, we came across the gates of the ancient dwarven outpost of Kheth Soldur. Our ancestors built this structure during the Quest for Sky, but abandoned it millennia ago. So who rearmed the traps? Find out tomorrow, when The Sky Scions continues on the Paizo Inc. blog!

So there we were, trekking through the Darklands, when we stumbed into an old temple to Kabriri. It had been repurposed into a cozy lodge now, full of dapper ghouls devouring a grisly feast. They welcomed us -- not kidding! After all, we're Clan Firecask: WE BROUGHT THE BEER! Find out what happened next when our newest report from The Sky Scions drops this Friday on the Paizo Inc.blog!

Marathon 3 of The Sky Scions happened last weekend!

3 days, c. 39 session hours

Many thanks to Morgan Rands of Black Bard Studios, who joined us from Oregon with a bin full of his incredible Darklands terrain!

Another shout out goes to Brandon Gillam of The Official Runehammer Games Facebook Group, who joined us at the table again as Renck Firecask, bard of legend!

You know that moment after a long game convention, when you to get to pull out all the cool stuff you've acquired and take stock? Our favorite treasure from this year's Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo was this set of incredible Norse/Rohan themed buildings from Marauder Industries. Our team saw these and thought right away, "Lands of the Linnorm Kings!" We joked that if these made it home intact through the snowstorm and post-convention chaos, then they definitely earned a shout out. Sized perfectly for standard 28mm miniatures, these buildings impressed us with both their detail and durability. Can't wait to get them painted up and into some Pathfinder action!

We said 2026 would be a year of firsts, and here goes #1:

For the first time ever, our home game is on display over on the Paizo Inc. blog! Go give the blog a read, and let us tell you how you can end up playing alongside us -- if you can get past our kobolds in The Crown Academy that is!
