I'm still a new GM, having only run "Quest for the Everflame" (only partially, as the school year ended and I was unable to continue the campaign with my students).

I've now been asked to introduce a colleagues husband to RPG's and I've decided to try my hand at designing instead of making a pre-made module. I'm designing my campaign on the classic DOS based PC game Quest for Glory: So You Want To Be A Hero (lots is changing to increase the intrigue of the story). But one of the things I want is two bandit hideouts. The first one will have the PC's be at level one, and ending at level 3. I'm looking to "beef-up" the hideout (dungeon? cave? abandoned mansion?) with encounters (more than just the bandits).

I was thinking of introducing them to the classic dungeon Ooze during this time. Sprinkle in a trap or two (spike pit, or even a pit to a basement with native creatures [giant spiders, centipedes... etc.]).

Basically, I'm asking for ideas to help flesh out a PC Level's 1-3 encounters for a bandit hideout. What sort of creatures might bandits keep for security purposes? What sort of traps would they have in place for defense?

There are plenty of maps online for ideas, but now I'm looking to fill one of these maps with encounters

Sorry for the redundancy, I'm writing what is coming to my mind right now.

Thank you in advance for your input.


I was under the impression that the first two tiers of this bundle came with Paizo maps. I tried to contact Humble Bundle, but they told me to contact you about this. I'm willing to pay, but I would like to know if I was mistaken about the bundle.

So, my question is: were there maps attached to the first two tiers of this bundle, or was a just mistaken?

If maps were included, how can I redeem these?


First time GM, so I'm looking for a little guidance. My group saw a body laying on the ground near a lake. So the rogue sneaked ahead to check it out. It happened to be dead grave robber. As the group approached, the rogue searched the body and found a masterwork shortsword and a bunch of gold coin. He told the group about the shortsword, but not the gold. He is not trained in slight of hand, But I feel he should roll to try and hide the gold before the group sees it... Suggestions?


I have started my first campaign in Pathfinder and I wanted to tackle a Bard. I liked the idea of a Court Bard, and as I did my research, I realized how great Saving Finale would be to have as one of my first level spells. As I researched further (after we started our campaign), I noticed this in the description, "a creature... affected by your bardic performance fails a saving throw." Since the Court Bard is a debuffing bard, am I correct in reading that the Court Bard will not benefit from the use of Saving Finale? If so, I have a wasted spell. Someone, please tell me that I can still use this spell to benefit my team (I don't want to waste a retraining in the future).
