I'm back from my hiatus with a look at one of the most atmospheric Pathfinder 2E APs! Outlaws of Alkenstar is a campaing which is absolutely doused in flavor. It can make for a fun story in a fascinating setting, but needs a little work from GMs and players to run smoothly. To that end, I've included a section on GM advice at the end of this video. A lot of that information ended up overlapping with the statements made by How It's Played in their coverage of this AP, but I encourage you to watch their GM overview if you haven't already.
