The Abomination Arsenal: Reflection
As we approach the anniversary of our total party kill at the bottom of the Abomination Vaults, it’s time to make public what we sometimes call “Session Plus One.” While we’d love to sit around and chat after the final die roll is made, the end of a marathon is usually a frenzy: players are leaving for long rides or flights home, there is the cleanup after days of Pathfinder, a scramble to capture any material we can, and then finally much-needed sleep. The Abomination Arsenal ended with a 22-hour session, which compounded everything just mentioned. Typically, after things settle down, we get together (remotely if necessary) and chat about everything from our favorite moments of the project to the rooms we wish we had explored. Everyone brings questions for our GM about all the things we missed along the way, feedback about the project, and especially the “what if” scenarios that we just have to know the answer to. Suffice it to say, Adam is all about reflection, and weighs it evenly with the prep sessions before a launch.
The Sky Scions: Part 1
We are fully recovered from our first marathon of Sky King’s Tomb and ready to tell the tale! If you didn’t catch the introduction to this project, we’re playing as a family of dwarves from Clan Firecask, complete with different generations to represent our players’ out-of-game ages. Each marathon of this project also features Order of the Amber Die members from decades past, and for our opening marathon we reached all the way back to the 1980s when our group first began. Before co-founding the Order with our GM, Andrew Woodworth and Adam went as Darth Vader and a stormtrooper for Halloween in 1985; they even have the same birthday and grew up as neighbors in New Jersey. Andy stayed active in the Order until the 2000s, and returned to the table for the first time in twenty years for this marathon – his debut playing Pathfinder!
Order of the Amber Die: Beyond the Veiled Past
Let's get this out right away: It's an awesome feeling to complete an Adventure Path. As we all know, you don't have to scan the message boards very hard to find stories of how many groups almost made it to volume six of an AP. Not too long before the historic events of 2020, we assembled for exactly that: one final marathon of Ruins of Azlant. Our odyssey was at its conclusion, and what made this marathon equally nostalgic was that it was our last adventure of the Pathfinder 1st Edition era.
Order of the Amber Die—The Azlant Odyssey, Part 5
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from our friends at the Order of the Amber Die, but they’re still at it! There were some scheduling complications and their tackling of Doomsday Dawn for the playtest, but they’ve recently finished their marathon of Pathfinder Adventure Path #125: Tower of the Drowned Dead and sent me their report. I also got a chance to talk with GM Adam Smith at Gen Con a couple of weeks ago, and he let me know that they have more amazing things to share with us once they wrap up the Ruins of Azlant Adventure Path—so stay tuned! Also, keep in mind that this blog contains spoilers for the adventure and Adventure Path, so be careful if you’re playing this one!
Order of the Amber Die—The Azlant Odyssey, Part 4
The folks from Order of the Amber Die are back again! Get ready to dive into adventure with a new report from their latest marathon session running through Pathfinder Adventure Path #124: City in the Deep! Be forewarned, though! There are spoilers aplenty in this report. (Maybe just look at the awesome pictures if you're playing through this.)
