Hello everyone,
Allow me to introduce The Silk’s End Chronicles. The Chronicles are a collection of in-character journals and letters from our Jade Regent Campaign. The main line is towed by Xiao Ping, whose real name is Aiko Kaijitsu, the younger sister of Ameiko Kaijitsu.
Our campaign follows the main plotlines of the Pathfinder Jade Regent Adventure Path; however, our campaign is set on Earth, beginning in the year 1268. It opens in Silk’s End, our equivalent of Sandpoint, and Sandru's caravan goes from there.
We update frequently. A list of update dates can be found on the Campaign info page. We play one long session per month. Each Chapter of the Chronicles covers one game session. As we make this first post, our party is just now reaching ninth level, and finally arriving in Japan to find out what is in store for the second half of the series. We decided to go by sea.
There are spoilers, so be warned.
Please feel free to post any comments you may have here in this area.
We hope you enjoy.
Best Regards,
Xiao Ping

Gentle Readers,
Xiao Ping/Aiko Kaijitsu has posted the first installment of her account of session 14 of our Jade Regent Pathfinder game. After skipping posting a week, it is close to a double entry.
The next part of chapter 14 will come in a week or so and will detail the final battle against Munasukaru, and reveal that the rift between Ochir, Wen, and Lo is still very much a problem.

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...

Gentle Readers,

The sections titled "The Ronin" and "The Fortress" are the new sections.
Of course, we meet the Ronin and assail the bandit lord's hidden mountain fortress...
Best to everyone,

Gentle Readers,
The Silk's End Chronicles has been updated. Session 16 was last Saturday. This is a shorter update to catch Aki back up with everyone else. Allegro returns and more to come next week!
Chapter 16: Aki and the Farmer and Hanzo Blade
Happy Holidays!

Gentle Reader,
The Silk's End Chronicles has been updated. The re-appearance of Allegro and the attempt on the bandit's mountain fortress Seinaru Heikiko to recover Jiro's katana.
The battle shows that the notions of good and evil remain as large an issue as ever. The pressure continues to build.
Ping is again the author. We will also at some point be making a change to the opening of Chapter 16.
The player that runs Aki is currently creating his own account of his solo mission. I (as a player) arrived late and didn't realize how much if his catch-up mission I had actually missed, so the Narrator voice for "Aki and Miyaro" will at some point be replaced with Aki's own true account of his adventure with the Ninja clans.
I will post here when it is updated, or when Xiao Ping finishes the rest of the account of session 16.
Thank you and best regards,
Xiao Ping

All,
The Silk's End Chronicles has been updated. Four new sections round out the rest of Session 16.
Without giving too much away, after the "adventure" part of the session was over, and we'd left the Teahouse, an inevitable PC vs. PC scenario played out.
Our group has been playing RPG for thirty years. We have not had PC vs. PC in longer than fair Ping can remember, more than fifteen years, at least.
This Pathfinder adventure path has provoked passions in the players we haven't seen in a while. It has been great fun. Thanks guys.
And now the conclusion... (to session 16, that is)
Return of the Samurai, A Wedding and a Baby, The Teahouse, Fracture
Session 17 is this Saturday, December 8, 2012
Fireballs for the Holidays! and hugs,
Xiao Ping

All,
The Silk's End Chronicles has had an update. Aki has taken up his pen in order to relate his own tale of the events that befell him during his solo mission. The first section of Chapter 16 has thus been replaced, and retitled "Aki and Miyaro". The sections that follow by Xiao Ping/Aiko Kaijitsu remain as they were, so there is no need to read those again.
Session 17 took place Saturday, December 8th, and the Tide of Honor module was completed. Look for updates in the near future!

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.

All,

Ochir and the Ainu, Family Feud, and Giant Country
Thanks DAOL, we have kept it up this far, we'll finish the rest, and damned exciting it is too.
Best Regards,
Xiao Ping

All,
The Silk's End Chronicles has had two updates since last we posted here.
This link finishes Session 19
This link begins Session 20, Aki's solo by Aiko Kaijitsu:
During Session 20, we began the assault on the Jade Regent's palace in Kyoto, chewing through the cannon fodder in The Empty Throne.
We know it gets a bit cheesy at times, but we are just having fun with it.

All,
A thankfully abundant freelance work roster has has me negligent in posting here, but not so in keeping the journal current.
Last we posted here we were halfway through recounting the events of session 20.
Chapter 21 is complete, and recount the events of session 21, where for the first time we adventured alongside Ameiko and the Jade Archer. We headed to a mysterious island in order to seek the blesings of the old Emperor, and learn what we could of his fate...
The first half is the party conflict section, the second part, Fingers of Death, is the actual adventure section.
We are set to play session 22 today.
