Edward and Bridgette ended their stay with the Giants by leaping off a 1,000 foot tall cliff. Before their fate was revealed, we converted their characters from Pathfinder First Edition to the new Pathfinder Second Edition playtest rules (update 1.2/1.3).

All about tabletop gaming – primarily roleplaying ala Pathfinder but a bit on other venues.
Rise of the Runelords
Three years ago a new to TTRPG player joined my Broken Covenant Pathfinder First Edition campaign. I’m having a proud GM moment as she’s now taken on the mantle of GM and just finished her second session. She’s running a group of four players through Rise of the Runelords. She sent me a photo of…

Celestial Winter – Session Seven, Guests of Giants
At the end of last session, the group surprised me when most of them agreed to hop in a Giantess’ bag and get carried up the mountain.

Pathfinder Second Edition Playtest – Initial Review
This will serve as my initial “I read through the rulebook twice” review of the Pathfinder Second Edition Playtest rules. I’ll be offering additional thoughts after running playtest sessions but I want to get some of this out of my head while it’s fresh. The Three Sentence Review The short review is that I love…
Celestial Winter – Session Six, Into the Tribelands
The group journeyed deeper into the western tribe lands searching for the missing Aegnus trading expedition. Mounted on horseback/dogback or riding in the carriage, the group manages to travel about 35 miles a day through the valleys framed by steep mountains. Bridgette does a lot of hunting throughout and supplements their meager rations with plenty…
Pathfinder with Pop: Master of the Forgotten Fortress
My Dad has been showing a lot of interest in Dungeons and Dragons lately so I decided to run a sitting of Pathfinder for him. I’ve never run an adventure module – always homebrew – but I have a few that I’ve picked up for inspiration. I looked through them and there was the Master of…
Celestial Winter – Session Five, Home Again
Finding themselves abruptly returned home, the group quickly split into Lonepine and Haven contingents. Spazzlethrop and Edward hurried back to report what had transpired to the Elders…while Bridgette, Caldus, and Kendra returned to Lonepine to check on their families.
