XP,

The Jade Regent is the third Pathfinder series we played and I must say it is the best one so far. The synergy between J.R. and our 13th century "Earth" is seamless.
The historical context provides a real world to interact with and the exploration of Asian culture gives this campaign a unique flavor.
Furthermore your journal is a detailed and highly accurate account of an eight hour session. You realize that it's expected from this campaign forward.
Keep scribling, my friend.


Random passerbys,
New plot twists this session will include the inclusion of Prince Batahar of the Urdu-Arganhei (Mongol city) and his body guard. Of course he is obsess with Ameiko. His help and Mongol Imperial blessing will be neccessary to conquer Japan. He has provided Sandru with a new caravan.

To make matters more interesting Ameiko has a brother and claimant to the throne, Tsuto Kajitsu.

How will the Jade Archer (Shalelu), Ameiko closet companion deal with this?

Letters arrive to the party from various relations from the continent further testing their cohesiveness.

And of course the events of Pathefinder 53, Tide of Honor.

Tune in...


The most dangerous aspect of a "specific" evil campaign is the potential of "ape on ape" pc war. This can quickly get out the hand and ruin the fun for at least somebody. This is especially true when it comes to dividing the loot.
The best way to handle this is to have a overpowering NPC that is the PC boss. The NPC tolerates no dissension in the ranks and execute the first fool that gets froggy.
This boss eventually gets too heavy handed and unites the PC to overthrow him.
Of course interparty tension and rivalry must be kept at simmer but not to boil over.
Highly challenging ang dramatic, evil campaigns should only be played with experienced players and a GM that is beyond reproach regarding impartiality. It also help if everybody are good friends. Good luck.


I just read the intro but was hooked by the original setting and characters espcially Saleman Sam. Your mix of players is awesome. I have an insular all male group that met in high school or college and been playing every version of D&D (except 4E) for thirty years. Looking forward to reading more....


Chapter twelve kicks ass girl. Real damn exciting. What happens next?
