So, it has happened again. Once again I have bitten off more than I can chew, painted myself into a corner, put the cart before the horse and other assorted cliches. How did it happen? Impatience? Trying to grab my players? Trying to counter an unpredictible play schedule?

The party averages about 6th level and has unleashed a great evil on their... Read More

The cries of the towns wizard, Makoto, brought all of our heads up, it seems whatever world I'm in, these damn goblins are there too. The ones we saw were from a clan called the Frostfall clan, though there presence is known they are never seen closer then 5 leagues to this town apperently.

So it came as a great surprise to me this past weekend to find that Paizo Publishing, formerly the home of Dungeon magazine and Dragon magazine, was building and distributing a new campaign world for D&D 3.5 called the Pathfinder RPG.

As promised in my previous blog entry, this one deals with how I approach a campaign, design an adventure, and what my characteristic quirks are. We had our first session of our newest campaign this past Saturday (Recap to come later), so since I have campagin design fresh in my mind, let's jump in!
