The Unfortunate Ransomers
Another quick intro dungeon for Pathfinders/3.5 peoples in particular. This one involves hobgoblins, 3-4 of them, who just took up shop near a town. They were supposed to deliver a ransom note to the town, but got distracted, or other ideas. That distraction or other idea will get sorted out if someone asks; I will [...]
Cave Bandits a level 1 dungeon
This is a quick dungeon I jotted together tonight. It revolves around to sets of monsters, kobolds and goblins, who found a cool hideout up in the hills near a remote settlement. It is a three room intro game to get people interested in my home game. I like to have a dynamic game and [...]
A Giants Den
Now for my giants den. This a image I built from stock photos in Photoshop. It is for another quick Pathfinder RPG adventure I am creating for Winter War. I needed a den out in the swamp, by the town of Kingleaf, so I drew this out from some Images I pulled together from Ireland. [...]
Village of Kingleaf
Officially founded in JY 905, Kingleaf was an old Brunari fort on the northern edge of the Green Forest. The name of the original fort is now forgotten and the forest is has receded miles to the south. People say the dragon, Surma, just looked at the forest and it started backing away from the [...]

Word of the Week: ICHOR
Mythologically ichor refers to the “blood of the gods”. It is a gold liquid that runs through the veins of immortals. In a medical or pathological setting it is used to refer to a watery discharge from a wound or ulcer. If referring to Gods ichor is a sacred life source and normal, but to [...]
Word of the Week: HALIDOM
Halidom is an archaic word that means a holy place or thing. In role playing games we often pursue someone who wants to use a holy item or holy place in an unholy way. Maybe to raise an undead army, or a demon to wipeout their enemy, or to become an imortal being. So, even [...]
Ending the Year with Pathfinder RPG Beginner Box
For Christmas I bought my son the Pathfinder RPG Beginner Box, because we felt it was time for him to try the game we play. Lucky for us, Paizo came out with an excellent product to introduce role-playing games to people who have never played them before. Seriously, there is some cut and polish to [...]
Word of the Week: GEOPHAGY
Geophagy is the habit of eating soil. Animals, such as earthworms are geophagus, and certain tribes have been known to eat earth or clay. Time to relate this to game play. We came accross a bulette (boo-LAY) or landshark that desimated our party because it can attack from below, so you have no idea you [...]

New Badguy to Test My Players With – The Jabberwock
In my home game in the World Alidor, I always had a special rule that dragon blooded folks, and dragons do not fare well living, or walking on the gigantic tortoise cities that wander various realms in the world. The tortoises are safe places where men, elves and dwarves live free from the dragons of [...]
Ruins in the Woods
I am getting another dungeon ready. This one is further south in the land of Jelling, in the Galleywein Forest, where elves are cursed and half-elves fare no better. I haven’t decided what to put in that old hut but it will be challenging enough for my 4 level group of Pathfinders… For now, I [...]
I Hate Swarms
Seriously, am I the only one? Swarms suck in 4e, and 3e, and Pathfinder. I remember my first try with a swarm in 3e, I was the one that summoned it, then I got knocked out, and the swarm proceded to kill me and two other members of the party. Yeah, I am not as [...]
Making a game world one small step at a time
My home game is this website, it is far from perfect, but it is how I have been creating and communicating with my players for over ten years now. I know from experience that, it is totally fun to go and buy a pre-made world for game systems mainly, because it is actually the best [...]
