    Your favorite 3.x published campaign setting?

    Freeport - an absolutely amazing book, well edited, with the strongest, most coherent, most adventure rich fluff in any setting book I have read. Notable mentions for: Midnight - I would have loved the opportunity to GM in this setting, but it is very dark and most players appear not to like...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    They are raised far up on the catwalk. There is an ogre-kin sized ladder resting on the left (north) wall, leaning against the catwalk to the floor.

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    The door opens to reveal a large chamber that rises almost thirty feet to the barn ceiling far above. The majority of this large, stuffy chamber is covered in filthy webs forming a funnel that dips down into the ground. A catwalk runs around the rim of the room, about eight feet below the...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    Overruled, Jovik shrugs and steps back to watch. Danth joins him, his weapon at the ready. Jokad stands beside Kibb, the great bear seemingly calmed by the presence of the big man alongside him, but its eyes stare unendingly at the door and Kael, as if hoping, waiting... Kael points his finger...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    Absolutely. I am all for innovative, non-combat uses of spells. This would work fine. I am out for dinner tonight, though, so post will follow tomorrow.

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    Kibb, the giant black bear, moves with purpose towards the boarded up back door of the barn. He sniffs at the door with some anxiety, before turning to face you and offering a pitiful mewl. He starts to paw at the bottom of the door, as if desperate to open up a gap, but the wood is strong.

    2009 in Review

    2009 High-points: Pathfinder RPG Golarion Campaign Setting - reminds me of the grey-box Forgotten Realms Keeping my excellent 4 players on my PbF game, and converting said game to Pathfinder RPG 2009 Low-points: Mid-Year ENWorld flakiness, which was doubly frustrating as I GM a PbF game here...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    The middle ogre-kin, smouldering in places, his eyes darting about in fear, seems only to register the darting presence of the rogue at the last moment. The very last moment, as a dagger plunged deep into its back and pierced its lung. It gurgled out a last scream, dropping to the ground just...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    OOC: Sorry for the short delay - but Christmas, family, and a cold all took their toll on my time. Kael steps out into the open as he completes the arcane words and gestures that will summon forth his fireball. The bead of fire flies out from his open palm, soaring towards the three ogrekin...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    Danth and Jokad easily pull the man inside. Well, not easily, because he does weigh a tonne and stink of putrid pus, sweat, pee, and worse, but easy enough that before long the small group are safely huddled inside the barn-cum-illicit-still. Time for one or two quick breaths, but Kael...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    You set of together towards the clearing that houses the homestead and barn. Jovik signals to the barn, points out the giant corpse of the ogre (it really is larger than the last one, although perhaps not quite twice as large), and then you are off. It is easier this time to remain concealed...

    Introducing the Nerkal, a Goblin Tribe

    Introducing the Nerkal A large tribe of goblins, worshipping true death and their necromantic leader, with great plans afoot... ------- I found this old concept I had part-sketched out in one of my files and decided to share it here. ------- Only a glorious death is a true death. All others...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    Jovik, seeing no movement, pounces from the treeline, hugging the edge of the barn , and keeping low. He reaches the body of the ogre. It is warm, and stinks. There is no time for ceremony or respect for the dead. He sticks a hand under its head and tries to pull Gull's Wing free. It doesn't...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    Jovik doesn't even have time to draw another dagger. His right hand opens, catches the flashing Gull's Wing, and with a single motion pulls back and releases the blade. The ogre-thing is moving crazily, weaving as if in great pain. Jovik holds his breath. Everything seems slow. He can see the...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    The daggers don't just hit, they seem to dig themselves into the thick flesh and muscles of the deformed ogres' neck, burying halfway down the blade. The monstrous man staggers momentarily to his right knee, his eyes fixing on Jovik. There is fear and pain, and perhaps a lack of comprehension...

    Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings OOC

    Obviously there is some fore-shadowing that is explained in the first book, such as discussing the BBEG, overarching plot, etc. I believe there is a summary of each adventure as well, but I would trust you just to skip that part and I am sure you wouldn't let any knowledge interfere in-game. As...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    Jovik slinks through the forest for a hundred yards or so on silent feet until at last he can see the homestead. It is in a clearing, with two buildings, one the main homestead (to the west), and a barn-like structure to the east. There is a rather ill-kept vegetable patch south of the barn...

    OOC: Sorry, the Grauls. You are fighting the Grauls. The Kreegs come later :)

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    OOC: to clarify, the Kreegs are half-ogres, hence the ogre-kin tag. The bear mentioned ogres at the fort (rather than half-breeds) The walk is short, perhaps 30 minutes of so through forest paths that appear to be relatively well established, whether by deer and animals, or the ogre-kin you do...

    [Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

    The bear, sensing the turn of events in its favour, nuzzles at Danth's hand for a second in gratitude (still sending a shiver of trepidation through the priest, it must be said), and then clearly trying to point the way with its nose and a flick of its head. Following the path, angling just...
