Yes, the pathfinder approach works fine. I have no idea how you would do it in 5th ed as the magic item system is probably worse than 2nd edition D+D. The only thing to consider is that in some adventures the pc's won't easily be able to equip themselves when they level up, I issued more gear...

This campaign continues and we have just started episode 8 I will try and post some high lights. Recent favorite is sticking an exploding dwarf replicanat in the absurdist web so they need to get him out at some point , when he will explode 5 seconds later

Morgan is a business man, he is aware that the police/RHC will break up his smuggling ops on occassion, there is no reason to take it personally. If he got the money and failed a good faith delivery thats fine , if he lost the money well better luck next time. In the pc's he see's a good...

The major combats are fairly predictable so you can encourage your players to gather for these major operations, for the lesser fights like the Wareyes, it is possible that the players will avoid the combat so if you need to make sure all players are involved as someone else suggested add...

Nothing much else happens except for all the fires in the city turning to water and the Sea catching fire for about 30 seconds, it is determined that this is nothing to do with their mission........ The train continues heading towards Trekholm. El Jeffe is turned invisible by Ka'vert and heads...

Change it. Those are not high dc's for this far in the campaign so either make it 3 succesful checks at the same time or 3 or 4 succesful checks in sequence. Or of course by this level , if you have a cleric in the party death is just a revolving door. Another possibility would be a tragic death...

The team watching the hotel have one last event. They notice the Diamanto Orc family being heckled and abused by drunken militia as they between them they have no social skills they can think of nothing to do except violence which would get them arrested until El Jefe has an idea. Mad Monkeys...

Oxorin recently had this dream of her past You tower over a burning battlefield. Arrows bounce of you and spells fail to bite , your sword sweeps aside your opponents , cheers ring from your allies. Then a pain something stabs into your breast, your sword falls from your hands , screams ring out...

So skipping over my slackness they got through books 2 and 3 with no disasters and steady investigation. Xambria has ended up in the head of Oxorin the Eladrin battle maniac. Their preperations for the train journey were very thorough and they completely avoided the Ob naval ambush, either its...

That is why I used buffed stats I had very optimised pc's , I always do and plan for it. The only problem would be if I had one player who did not optimise so well but fortunatly they are all good. I always consider my objective except maybe in major finales is to scare and not kill pc's...

I admit I forgot about the monarchs ability when I designed the Mimic, my players did not. They carefully left the mimic alone untill all other opposition had been eliminated. It was highly amusing. If you do not want the monarch to travesty the fight rule that the rites only work vs Sentient...

We just started Book 4 and I will attempt to get back to write ups

Also feel free to ask any questions about how things were working in the background. Glad you liked the write up , it was a great campaign to run

My players have much to do if they are going to ever match this level of insanity

I suggest that you run it in 5e or Pathfinder . So if you are using PF use all the notes from PF not 5E. However in this case I think youa re just making a mistake, In pf 6th level pc is expected to have 16000gp as per the core rules never bothered working out what is says in the module I just...
