<p>The <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adventureaweek/underworld-races-and-classes-5th-edition-and-pathf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Underworld Races & Classes Kickstarter</a> is spelunking into the depths of the Underworld funding within the first hour and already unlocking lots of stretch and backer goals.</p>
<p>The Underworld Races & Classes tome for 5th Edition and the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (two separate books) includes devious drow, deep mining svirfneblin, psychedelic funglets, beautiful, semi-crystalline colliatur and more: a total of 14 new races and over 25 classes clocking in at 250+ pages!</p>
<p>Authors of the newly revised Underworld Races & Classes tome include Thilo Graf AKA Endzeitgeist (Advanced Races Compendium by Kobold Press, Laying Waste by TPK Games, Strange Magic by Interjection Games), Stephen Rowe (Advanced Races Compendium, Paizo: Pathfinder Player Companions: Paths of the Righteous, Healer's Handbook, and Haunted Heroes Handbook), Chris Harris (Tome of Beasts, Advanced Races), Mike Myler (ENnie winning AaWBlog!, Hypercorps 2099 by Legendary Games, Veranthea Codex by Rogue Genius Games), and Jonathan G. Nelson (AAW Games owner/publisher and author on Rise of the Drow, Snow White, and Alagoran's Gem).</p>
<p>Best of all: The book is written, playtested and ready to go - it is literally finished and ready for layout! The text is all done and this campaign is all about getting you the best-looking, most gorgeous book you can ask for!</p>

<p>1. <a href="https://adventureaweek.com/shop/product-category/pdf/a-series/page/4/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">A00/A01/A02</a> - While this will take your PCs from levels 1-3 they are going to need the boost. The section of Rise of the Drow Prologue: The Darkness Arrives written by Steve Helt is a bit brutal and I've heard that most parties lost between 1-3 party members when working through that stretch (part 2 of the prologue). If they are level 2 or 3 it will increase their chances of survival while still allowing you to beef up encounters (by adding more enemies) if you so wish. Plus by playing through the earlier modules they will learn more about the region, make some friends, and find places to obtain equipment or information.</p>
<p>2. The Underworld Races & Classes books are not needed to play any books in the Rise of the Drow series. Players running one of these characters will have an advantage though as they are more properly suited to a life underground.</p>
<p>3. Most of the extra materials you are looking for are already included in Rise of the Drow. In the table of contents (main book) you'll find an entry for the dweorg god Balir and the drow god Naraneus. All the information on those deities is already contained within the core Rise of the Drow hardback.</p>
<p>4. If you want access to more deities, Vikmordere Valley locations, maps, races, classes, etc. simply <a href="https://adventureaweek.com/subscribe/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">subscribe to AdventureAWeek.com</a> for $10 a month. You'll also get 2 free PDF downloads per month with your subscription so you can easily knock out any A-series adventures or Underworld Races & Classes you would like to obtain!</p>

<br />
Wintery is an accepted alternate spelling of wintry (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wintery); even the default spell checkers recognize the spelling. "Wintry" is actually derivative of an even older spelling "wint'ry" which dates back to old anglo-english. Wintery goes back hundreds of years in the English language spelled that way. Even the American Copy Editors Society (ACES) uses the "wintery" spelling (http://www.copydesk.org/blog/2014/02/21/celebrate-national-grammar-day-in- verse-for-fun-and-prizes/). I can find examples in 38,000 individual published books via Google that use "wintery" dating back over a hundred years. And personally, I prefer the three syllables to the two — "wintery" sounds like "winter"; whereas "wintry" sounds to me like how an old granny would say "wintery."</p>
<p>I did see the Grammarist page, but even there with Sarah Belliston's "it's wrong" claim, she has to admit that it's been in use a very long time. In the end, I chose Wintery because it actually contained the word "winter" and was three syllables as opposed to two.

<p><b>INTO THE WINTRY GALE</b> is a Pathfinder RPG Adventure for 4-6 Level 10 Characters Written by Justin Andrew Mason, staff writer for the ENnie Award winning Adventureaweek.com Blog. Having authored over a hundred articles and a dozen adventures for the AAW Blog, Justin Andrew Mason is now tackling a super-sized adventure module inspired by the viking sagas and ancient Norse mythology. </p>
<p>The arrival of the celestial event known as the Ohjaslange heralds the return of the dreaded Jǫtunn (ice giants) to the lands of Vikmordere. The valley is engulfed by an unnatural blizzard and unending frigid gale of the likes which none living have ever seen. A dark and evil curse has reawakened, after dormant centuries, to cloak the sun and bury the land beneath frost and snow.</p>
<p>Directed by ancient Vikmordere legend, warriors and shieldmaidens from the many clans have gathered in the village of Völsfiheimr on the shores of Serpent Lake to prepare for the upcoming battle. At stake is the very future of their people. As a horde of undying skeletal ice giants begin a long march down from a ruined mountaintop fortress, Vikmordere warriors in the valley resolve their mettle by singing lore of heroic bravery and ancient battles.</p>
<p>Wintery war is looming, and many echo the charge of ancient omens — the time has come to seek out the lost artifacts of the legendary Jarl Vornig – for it was he who last quelled the ice giant uprising, felling the great ice giant king whilst wielding a divine sword and magic aegis. If these powerful artifacts cannot be rediscovered, and the power therein harnessed, the Vikmordere warriors stand little chance against the onslaught of the evil Jǫtunn.</p>
<p>Despite the gathering of great warriors, the Ancestor Spirit seems to have other plans to secure the safety of the Vikmordere people... A group of outsiders has arrived at the Great Hall of Völsfing upon the eve of battle. The strangers have been guided through the blinding blizzard by a mysterious fire-wreathed ember owl, and are unwittingly about to become epic heroes in a new saga.</p>
<p>The Vikmordere are wary of their new guests, yet submit to the will of their ancestors and acknowledge the omen of adventurer's arrival. The barbarian clans place their hopes into the hands of these enigmatic visitors who must now prepare to venture out into the wintery gale in search of the ancient Jarl's artifacts.</p>Yes, you heard right. AAW Games / AdventureAWeek.com has just launched a Kickstarter for a Pathfinder adventure steeped in Norse mythology.

LotLK simply matches the thematic setting present in Rybalka (Vikmordere/Klavek Kingdom) where the adventure begins. Honestly you could easily start the adventure anywhere as the group quickly heads underground...unless you're running the prologue in which case you'll want an area with a cold climate and no major cities within easy reach of the PCs, basically untamed wilderness- frontier village far from civilization...</p>
<p>2. That would be fairly easy. Grab the Underworld Races: Drow book here on Paizo or from our site at Adventureaweek.com and hand that to the PCs to get them started. If you read up on the story you could have the drow start out on the surface as part of one of the raiding groups, perhaps the group which is transformed into zombies at Krelgar Keep...they could have fled just as this was going down. Now that they're far from their home city of Holoth they've decided to become renegades and topple the current establishment.</p>
<p>3. For sure! We used it in our playtest and it worked great!! (UC)</p>

<p>As a source of both fascination of what is "beautiful and good" as well as events viewed as "grim and forbidding", fairy tales have fascinated both the old and young over the centuries. Whether a cautionary tale about avoiding wrong-doing, the triumph of right over wrong, the worth and value of perseverance and endeavor, or any other series of extraordinary events in an unreal world, there is good reason why they are known as "wonder tales." From all of these ideas, "Snow White" is one of the very best examples, with its ebb and flow of who has the upper hand, the most cruel of villainess, the stoutest of defenders, and the wished-for happy ending, this tale offers intrigue, devious plot twists, cheer-out-loud moments, and a chance to immerse yourself in a faerie world of rich content. Here at AAW Games, we look to bring you all this and more as Aventyr experiences its very first folkloric fantasy!</p>

There's no time to wait on an artist, or the project has already gone over budget, so paying an artist to do a custom just isn't a viable option.</p>
<p>Many times a thorough search of the internet proves fruitless making our product feel empty in places.</p>
<p>As we have developed and released a new adventure every single week for an entire year (over 52 so far), we have found many bits of monster and character art which seem to be missing from the stock art archives available to 3PP. For example: Giant Centipedes. Never found a good piece of art to fill this hole.</p>
<p>Our goal is NOT to become a provider or middle man of stock art (in fact the artists I'm working with are going to see 100% of their sales), but to fill the gaps wherever possible. </p>
<p>I started a Google Doc where folks who work for 3PP can add their requests for stock art (monster or character) and the artists can fulfill them. This will help everyone involved, artists and 3PP alike.</p>

<p>Mark Orsted Update: Spoke with Josh a few times yesterday. They have diagnosed that he had two strokes. One about a week ago, and one yesterday morning around 6a while he slept, which was the one that partially debilitated him. He’s in good spirits, obviously dismayed that his writing skills are currently “non-existent”, but glad that he’s all good beyond that. He’ll get signed up for some therapy and hopefully be able to re-learn the skill he is missing. He is due back today, but maybe tomorrow depending on how things went overnight.</p>Here’s a status update from Joshua’s friend and roommate Mark Orsted:
