Ding (lightbulb over head). Now I’m thinking abandoning the Expedition to Undermountian Module, and try and convert the Pathfinder series to Undermountain. Change the starting town to spiderhaven, set everything underground, set the major city to skullport… Hmmm… that might work, I’ll have to look at it again. I’m not the biggest Forgotten Realms guy, but i think I know enough about Undermountain from what I’ve researched online and read in Expedition to fool my players. Besides, if they catch me on anything inconsistent, I’ll just blame the Spellplague.

I do have another side campaign going, so far it was just a one-shot to run on a night that we couldn’t do our regular game. The players had so much fun I have thought about expanding it. I was going to use the Wicked Fantasy Factory Modules (the one-shot was their El Cheapo intro) but Pathfinder may be a better choice for that. They share some of the same over-the-top feel.

I’ve wanted to use those bloodthirsty goblins ever since the goblin song came out.

Might I suggest, for those casual games, that you switch to Paizo’s Adventure path? Just use the one closest to your player’s level and use as is. They are fairly easy to hack and have little of the quirks seen in the Expedition format…

Also, I will obtain a copy of Monte planar book for 4e, as planes will no longer be the Cosmic Wheel thing and various non aligned planes will be a nice addition to my campaign tools.

Thanks for the reminder

If it was a well-written easy to use hack and slash adventure, I’d be fine with it. But the format, the encounter levels, and the overall lack of cohesion between levels add up to a real pain in the rear adventure to run or modify. Did I mention it’s a pretty boring adventure too? At least most of it, there are some good bits closer to the end. I wish I could find out which designers wrote which sections.

To top it all off, it’s a casual campaign (3 sessions in 6 months), one we decide to run when we find out we have a free weekend coming up. So I don’t really want to put a lot of effort into making it work. There is a lot of winging it.

The best thing I did with that module is change the focus from a standard adventuring troop to a non-good party. That added an interesting spin on things, and feeds my creative hunger some. So at least on that aspect it’s going well. I just wish it was a better adventure.

Okay, enough about me…

Your campaign sounds very cool and exciting. The fun thing about planejumping is that absolutely anything s possible.

Malhavoc Press had a book of alternate planes called “beyond countless doorways”. A neat resource, and the variety of new planes are something that will catch even the most experienced player off-guard.

Of course, just as you are looting and pillaging various adventure modules, I fully plan on looting and pillaging this blog!

Yan: Bone Devil… but don’t get you’re hopes up!

What was their name already?

Oh well… To lazy to go fetch the monster manual to check their name…

That being said whatever it is. It’ll die like the rest of it’s brethren, but this time in a fiery ball of fire!

(I’m pretty sure 90% of my traffic comes from here.)

I do believe your players will enjoy this one.

And if nothing else, it will teach them a few things. Things about evil, and danger, and… ice, I suppose.

Yay vagueness!
