Hey everyone,

I realize that this isn't exactly a campaign journal, but it's pretty close, as I think if you like reading about other people's RPG campaigns there's a chance you would be interested in this.

Inspired by the opportunity presented by the podcast format, as well as by some truly great work from other podcasters out there, my friends and I have decided to record our play sessions and put them online in the form of a podcast for other people to follow along.

The home of the podcast is located here and the RSS feed can be found here.

Finally, if you want a direct link to the actual files, you can them at session 0 and session 1.

The podcast is also available through the iTunes music store, search for Journey to Madness.

I'll try and post here whenever I upload a new episode, and of course I'm interested in any feedback you guys might have.

Enjoy the show!

Yay, toys are fun!

So at Dungeon we have a list of monsters/adventure ideas that we feel have been overused recently. While it is possible for us to green light an adventure that features one of these monsters/ideas, it is very unlikely. Every once in awhile we reevaluate "The List" and update it.

Which one of these deserves to come off "The List"?

Gary gave me a new toy to try out, so I thought we'd experiment with a question that comes up a lot around here, who is your favorite Dungeon author? I only included authors that have had an adventure published since issue 124 (the beginning of Age of Worms). I also didn't include any of the Paizo staff members, I know you guys love us :)

Have at it!

Let me know if I left someone out.

One of our loooong-standing projects has finally been completed, and contributors everywhere can reap the rewards!

Bask in the glory of extensive query writing tips! (Many culled from this very messageboard.)

Delve into the intricacies of the new stat block format explained!

Somehow, three area descriptions were left out of the final text for this adventure. Our sincere apologies to everyone for the mistake! We will include the missing text in the 130 Web Enhancement when it is released, but in the meantime I will post it here.

9. Great Pagoda

The inner walls of this wooden, fifty-foot tall pagoda are lit by a supernatural glow, similar to the sun seen from underwater. The pagoda is empty, except for a five-foot tall, square dais in the middle of the floor, where a large gong stands. The gong’s disk hangs from an eight-foot tall frame of lacquered wood, and has a diameter of four feet. The gong’s mallet hangs from one of the four vertical poles of the frame.

The pagoda was used by the Amata no Sei for powerful commune rituals. The gong’s disk is made of pure platinum (see Treasure). When hanging on the frame, the gong’s disk is the equivalent of a gong of dispelling. Each time the gong is sounded, every creature and spell effect in a 30-foot radius is targeted by a dispel magic effect, CL 9th. It has an unlimited number of charges, but may not be removed without destroying its enchantment.

Treasure: The gong’s disk weighs 60 pounds and is worth 12,000 gp for the value of the platinum.

10. Entrance

The floor of this entryway is decorated with an abstract but lively mosaic of lacquer tiles. A fifteen-foot wide cupboard stands along the north wall beside a door. Other doors stand closed in the middle of the south wall and east wall.

The cupboard is full of traveling clothes and accessories. A pouch in a hidden recess (Search DC 22) contains the Treasure.

Treasure: 3 vials of elixir of sneaking and a figurine of wondrous power (serpentine owl).

11. Stairway

An ornate wooden staircase occupies this room. A mosaic of polychrome colored glass tiles on the thirty-foot high ceiling illuminates the central shaft.

The staircase leads up to the great balcony above (area 23).

This will be my character journal for our Thursday night campaign here at Paizo. The purpose of this campaign (in addition to having some fun) is to playtest the new Dungeon adventure path: Age of Worms. Erik Mona is the DM, and the players are James Jacobs (Tyrilandi), Kyle Hunter (Dram), Mike McArtor (Vyth), Sean Glenn (Taan), Wes Schneider (Abelard), Sarah Robinson (Dae Jin), Jason Bulmahn (Gar), and myself (Demon Boy).

Kyle has done an awesome character illustration of Demon Boy which can be found here

I plan on posting a new update every week on Thursdays, for as long as I can. Because we can't possibly play every week, eventually I will have to start skipping weeks, but we will see how far I get before that happens. The first entry contains only character background information; we will get to what actually happened during the first session next week.

Enjoy!
