    JollyDoc's Rise of the Runelords...Updated 12/22

    Yes, aboleth's are indeed rune users, and occasionally some of them are guilty of abhorrent crimes even among their own kind...such as finding religion... I am indeed using this to bring the group up to level 10, in preparation for taking on Barl's home boys!!

    This part is actually not a piece of the adventure path. It is an adventure from Dragon magazine called the Styes, but its plot weaves so well into Rise of the Runelords that I had to use it.

    MURDER IN UNDERBRIDGE Dexter read the short note again. It was a request for a meeting…a job request. No details, just an address in Underbridge. It’d been passed to him by one of his usual contacts. He sighed. As if he didn’t already have enough on his plate. On one hand, the quest to...

    It was this last Sunday. However, I still have part two of the previous weeks game to post, which I'm almost done with. I hope to have it up by tomorrow or Saturday at the latest.

    Which Story Hours are still being updated regularly?

    I update JollyDoc's Rise of the Runelords every week. We game weekly, on average, and I try my best to have the previous week's update posted before our next game time. The JollyDoc SH's have been alive in one incarnation or another since...2003? Give or take.

    MAGNIMAR Wesh drifted, a feeling of infinite peace suffusing his mind. He at felt at once alone and a part of the Infinite. He understood everything now. All of his questions had finally been answered, and now there was only eternity to ponder the previously unfathomable. ‘Wesh.’ That...

    Well, the ship was actually in the adventure, and it did mention that inside were strange maps of no known seas, and sheet music of indecipherable origin. I added the actual sea wyvern part myself. Afterall, Mandi is living in Korvosa, last we heard, and she had to get to Golarion somehow...

    Well, I'd like to say we are the latter, but we've had our share of action-lite sessions. I try to keep the action rolling by encouraging equipping of characters, doling out gold, etc be done during the week, outside game time, so that when the players show up on Sunday they can just tell me...

    Duly noted, sir and thank you! I'm kind of obsessive about being grammatically correct, whenever possible, so I appreciate any editing advice. We gamed last night, but won't be gaming this coming week because I will be visiting Bean Town, so I'm going to take a little extra time with the...

    STONE COLD Twisted black trees rose wretchedly from shallow pools, seeming to have lurched from the land, their arthritic branches curled into miserable tortured claws. The sun seemed to scorn that place, and a cold dark mist loomed within the canopy of bone-bare branches above. Evil murmurs...

    Not really. So far, the classes outside Pathfinder have meshed well. We've made cosmetic changes, like d6 for warmage instead of d4, etc. Same for 0 level spells for Dread Necromancer...treated like wizards.

    No, I didn't. The goblin mooks all fit, although tightly. I did have a slight issue with the ogres in Fort Rannick, because some of the internal rooms were not large enough, so I just left those numbers as written.

    Welcome! We're always glad to have new readers! Let's see...Reaper is straight Dread Necromancer, Draton is pure cleric, Duerten is the Pathfinder Holy Warrior variant of cleric, Dexter is a rogue, but, and he'll have to correct me on this, I believe he has taken a level or two from Book of...

    I actually did not add any levels to named NPC's. I learned my lesson about that in previous AP's. Instead, I have, in general, been doubling the number of mooks, ie goblins, ogres, etc. Mooks with levels, or tougher monsters, I increase their number by about 1.5, so if there are 2, then I...

    We actually did it all at the table, which was very cool. My players are very good about keeping player info out of character info.

    SUNDAY TEASER Why so early, you ask? It's because we actually gamed last night, and had a rather lengthy session... 1) The heroes return triumphantly to Fort Rannick to deliver the good news about Skull's Crossing...leaving out the whole deal-with-a-devil part... 2) Yap's quest still...
