Blog Not Wiki

I've decided not to try and make this blog a campaign wiki...so kindly ignore all the previous Shattered Star stuff.

Location Location Location

The campaign takes place in a northern, west coast, country called Varisia.  There is a beautiful player friendly gazetteer in the Rise of the Runelord Player's Guide. Please at least skim it and read the sections on the Lost Coast, Magnimar, and Sandpoint.  There is an expanded section on Magnimar in the Shattered Star Player's Guide.  It's important because you'll be spending a lot of time in that city...

Anyway, what's going on?  We are actually going to start in Sandpoint.  You need to figure out why your character is there (traits). The short adventure I'll be using to get you all together as a party will also lead directly into meeting key NPCs and getting initiated into the Pathfinder Society.

The stretch of coastal land along the eastern side of the Varisian Gulf from Riddleport down to Magnimar is called the Lost Coast.  You need to learn to love it...because you will need to save it!

If you really wanted to get into the flavor of the campaign, the single best supplement is the Pathfinder Player Companion: Varisia, Birthplace of Legends.

Numenera And Potential Campaign

update: it's already funded...I wonder how high it will go?

Numenera: A new roleplaying game from Monte Cook

Curse you Kickstarter!!!  I've got 39 days to come up with money...

From numenera.com and Monte's blog there are a couple of hints here and there...I'm always interested in new ways to play, but I'm leary of things like "choose from a number of descriptors like clever, tough, strong-willed, or mystical."  I'm just old fashioned and biased towards what I know, so if anyone can win me over it'll be Mr. Cook.  Here's a bunch of my money.

Which makes me want to talk about FATE ladders and stuff...but not today.  I can see a D&D game in my not too unobtainable future and I need to figure out what to play!  I'm trying to decide between the following three four contenders so the next couple of posts will probably be my ramblings about the various Pros and Cons.

1. Pathfinder
2. pure Moldvay/Cook
3. pure DCC RPG
4. mish-mash of OSR gems
1. fighter from DCC RPG
2. thief from LotFP WFRPG
3. Cleric & Wizard from S&W or LL
4. house rules absconded from all over the OSR blogosphere
