Iridia No. 75; Labyrinth Lord We linger in the Freecity of Haldane for another week. In this installment I share with you some useful businesses and services that adventurers might frequent. You can visit the Cask and Cleaver, the Rookery, the temple of Elyswen of the Light and Gypsum Pembrook...

Iridia No. 74; Labyrinth Lord Last week I introduced Aurumvorax, the gold dragon mayor of the Freecity of Haldane. I build upon that by presenting the city itself. This issue includes a description of Haldane's geography, population and politics. There's a brief exploration of Haldane's...

I wish SJG would allow others to publish under a royalty free license similar to the d20STL/OGL. I'd love to see what others came up with. Hell, It'd be great to buy a GURPS Monster Manual.

Iridia No. 72; D&D 3.5/Miniatures I get this week's issue started with a discussion of alignment decisions during play. Because the PCs in my campaign encounter mostly human or demi-human NPCs, the decision to kill a foe isn't as thoughtless as burying an axe in a goblin's skull. My obsession...

Iridia No. 70; D&D 3.5/Villains and Vigilantes/Miniatures 4e has arrived early for some, yet I still plug away with some familiar systems until I can get my hands on a shiny new PHB next week. First up is a review of my favorite Villains and Vigilantes supplement - Super-Cooks and Criminals...

Iridia No. 69; D&D 3.5 This week's issue begins with a discussion of the clever tactics the players in my campaign have been employing. The tactical acumen has allowed us to game even when others cannot make a session. Next up are two new NPCs for the Rogues Gallery column. Mog Half-Ogre and...

Iridia No. 68; D&D 3.5 I really like to use miniatures and terrain when playing D&D. Recently I used an elaborate, three-level terrain piece that I talk about in the On Point introduction. Next up are two NPCs from my campaign. The first is Huri Keyfate, a 3rd level dwarf Rogue. While Huri is...

Iridia No. 67; D&D 3.5 It's a new look for Iridia, folks. I've changed the body font to Verdana to improve legibility. I hope you like. This week I've two NPCs from my campaign to share with you in a new installment of the Rogues Gallery column. Meet Colin Crabbe and Madeline Ginnever. Colin is...

Iridia No. 66; D&D 3.5/Miniatures This week's issue kicks off with another installment from the Rogues Gallery column. Ready to give the cold shoulder to the PCs in your campaign are Lenwe, Saeros and Aerith. This trio of elves do not take kindly to anyone trespassing in their forest. On the...

Print zines are still a viable medium, although most zines revolve around politics, music, life, etc. I receive 2-3/week in my mailbox. Having said that, the common print zine format is saddle stitched (stapled in the spine) digest format with cardstock cover and about 32 interior pages. (8...

Iridia No. 65; D&D 3.5 After a Leeroy Jenkins moment in our last session, I decided to throw out a few tactical suggestions in this week's On Point editorial. After that, there's a review of Temple of the Dragon Cult from Goodman Games. This module proves that following a wounded beast into its...

Heya folks, We're looking for one last player, so hopefully this will be the last thread bump. I hate to bump my own thread, but a fifth player would be great. It would ensure that we'd always have enough PCs to run a game and the diversity of classes certainly wouldn't hurt. We held our...

Iridia No. 64; D&D 3.5 This week marks the appearance of two new columns. The first new column is Rogues Gallery. It is an homage to an early AD&D supplement. The Rogues Gallery column will allow me to share villainous NPCs from my campaign. The first scoundrel is Jasper Genz, a selfish wizard...

Iridia No. 63; Basic D&D 3.5 This issue begins with a review of Aerie of the Crow God, an excellent module by Andrew Hind. Number five in the Dungeon Crawl Classics series, this scenario offers lots of exploration, hack and slash and some opportunities for role-playing. After reading it, I could...

I laughed pretty hard while reading the cover reviews. Awesome!

Hello everyone, We held our first session and had a great time. Three players were in attendance and it seemed to go quite well. I have set up a web space to act as a campaign log. Here's the link: http://iridiazine.net/quest.htm We are still in need to 1-2 players and would love to have you...

Iridia No. 62; Basic D&D/GURPS 4e The Iron Rations series continues. In this installment, the four adventurers meet a new patron named Arkon the Enchanter. Charming and smooth, Arkon wastes no time getting under Abel's skin. Will Abel's temper ruin his friends' chances of a promising pay day? On...

That looked like a great campaign. Well done!

Iridia No. 61; D&D 3.5 This issue gets started with a review of Bloody Jack's Gold, the fifth installment in the Dungeon Crawl Classics series from Joseph Goodman Games. While the adventure promises a mountain of gold to those who survive, players will find themselves asking if their new found...

Hello folks, I'm still looking for a few more players. I've decided to push the start date to next Sunday, April 6. So far we have a rogue and ranger, so there's plenty of room. Peace, Christian
