9. Rilauven 1/2/12: We skipped a week due to Christmas, and then got back to the campaign. I decided to skip the final room of the mud sorcerer's tomb, as there wasn't much to it and we had quite a bit to get to tonight. The heroes got their loot and we joined in progress.... I fell a bit...

8. Expedition to Cat Island 12/20/11: I used material from the legendary Dungeon Magazine adventure called The Mud Sorcerer's Tomb... There's a few "meanwhile" scenes featuring other characters from other campaigns. I put those in to show what the PCs would have been doing if they had chosen a...

7. Vecna's Secret 12/12/11: Tom was in the city. We ended early tonight as I needed to prepare for the Expedition to Cat Island. This summary is as close to a verbatim session summary as I ever hope to get! And just to be clear, Vecna was defeated in a previous campaign. He was discorporated...

6. Blackrazor 12/5/11: We experimented with cutting monster hit points in half and bumping their damage. It was deadly. Matt played his level 30 character Anjou for a minute, during an interlude. And Ryan Wade is out of town, so no Hartaniel tonight... Saga of Valor Book One - NyrodSpace War...

I've read some of Gardmore Abbey and it seems ok. They really encourage running it with the various factions at odds with one another. The thing I'm a bit bummed about is the deck of many things' powers. There's a "harrow deck of many things" in the pathfinder Curse of the Crimson Throne' path...

I printed this adventure out yesterday and it looks absolutely awesome. I was a big fan of the 2nd edition version by Lisa Smedman (though it got a bit goofy with the godzilla room). I've never read the Roger Moore one. My group is only level 2, so it'll be awhile. Probably 6-7 months. Can't...

5. The Dead Warrens 11/28/11: The party hit level 2 at the end of this one... Saga of Valor Book One - NyrodSpace War 3 Chapter Five: The Dead Warrens Ardra - Eladrin Bladesinger Vovoidja The Blue Monk - Half-Orc Monk Almoner Hartaniel - Elf Barbarian Groom of the Stool Lucky -...

4. Dagger Rock 11/21/11: My house was robbed! My laptop is gone with all the campaign notes and pictures in it. Luckily, all of the really important stuff has been stored elsewhere, so the campaign won't be overly effected. Also in this adventure, I used a giant mini from warhammer. It's this...

The Red Box had a nice price, but didn't seem too effective. The Pathfinder box is more expensive, but man it is really great. The flip mat and the stand-up counters are fantastic. I get this weird feeling in our post-Essentials environment like we're adrift. Wizards puts out one main book...

11/14/11:All Seven players made it and we got plenty done. Listed next to each character is the title the King has bestowed upon them. Saga of Valor Book One - NyrodSpace War 3 Chapter Three: Belgos & Silussa Ardra - Eladrin Bladesinger Vovoidja The Blue Monk - Half-Orc Monk Almoner...

If you live near an Office Depot, go there! They are incredibly cheap. I print out pdfs and poster maps there. I just printed out two 24x36 maps in black and white for a total of $3.01.

I think I agree with the idea of making the total value of the scales/organs/etc. part of the treasure parcel. So then, if the PCs don't harvest, they're actually shorting themselves on the total treasure. Also, there's an issue of dragon magazine from the 3e days that has a fantastic article...

It took 114 sessions for my group to get through Scales of War, and we played 3 hours a week. So for us, 2 years and a couple months. My other group was much faster, as we played weekly and were driven to do 5 encounters per session. If you do 3 combats, one skill challenge, and one "roleplay"...

That sounds awesome! My group fought vecna in a very dry encounter and utterly destroyed him. I wish i could have read this before that.

11/7/11: This is a "0-level" adventure, where ordinary citizens try to survive as the city of Olwynn is attacked by drow and the godzilla-sized gods fight Lolth and some titans. Basically, everyone had +0 to hit, 10 for all defenses, and +0 to all skills. And d4 hit points! Most enemies in this...

Orcs of Stonefang Pass looked good. I haven't run it, but I've used encounters and the poster map from it. And it's 10 or 12 bucks. As for gnolls, if you have a DDI subscription you can run Den of the Destroyer. It's about gnolls who live in a place built by githzerai. There's also a bounty...

My group had a heck of a time with the four-armed skeletons, as I recall! You may want to reconsider allowing your pcs to talk their way past the astral giants. The battle on the steps is one of the most fun encounters in the whole book IMO. I ended up cutting out most of the encounters from...

I had a group go through the 4e Tomb back in the summer. The group loved it. I loved it. Honestly it's the best 4e adventure I've run. Though it didn't end so well for my heroes... Here's the summaries for our four sessions in the tomb: Part 1 The Misty Archway Part 2 The False Tomb Part 3...

This is the beginning of what I hope will be a very long story hour. I intend for this campaign to stretch from levels 1-30, and then to start over with a new batch of heroes and do it again. I am going to write this more in the form of a summary rather than a short story. I record my games, and...

I ran E1-E3 last year and the encounters are simply not hard enough. The biggest let-down is the encounter you have coming up where It is simply pathetic! I'd say up the damage and lower the hit points of all your monsters. Also beware, if your party has caught on then they've all got major...
