Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to create an enriching and immersive tabletop gaming experience for Pathfinder 2e players. Our passion project is driven by a commitment to enhance storytelling, strategy, and camaraderie within the community.

This project is about giving back to the community that has given us so much joy in our own gaming endeavors.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADVENTURERS ARSENAL
In 2020, the concept of Adventurers Arsenal took root as a simple solution to enhance my players' experience by providing physical handouts representing their acquired treasures throughout our campaign. The motivation behind this idea stemmed from the observation that players often forgot the details of their magical items, leading to frequent pauses in combat as they resorted to googling item effects. I aimed to elevate the thrill of looting by offering players tangible items to keep.
Initially tailored for Pathfinder 1e, the transition to Dungeons and Dragons 5e became inevitable when the pandemic prompted a shift to online play. However, the development took an unexpected turn with the OGL scandal, causing my players to distance themselves from supporting WOTC. This prompted a final switch to Pathfinder 2e.
18 months of dedicated development ensued, involving the creation of a website, a complete overhaul of card designs, and a streamlined process for card production. Now, I am excited to announce the monthly release of these cards, inviting everyone to download everything Adventurers Arsenal has to offer for free!

2021 - Version 2.0
Afraid to lose what work was done i kept the design similar for the 5e version with some minor tweaks.
2023 - Version 3.0
After printing off version 2.0 and noticing a number of issues, I committed to a full redesign which also included how we created the item visual.
