We Be Goblins - Tomorrow

We game on Saturdays as a regular event, however we currently have a couple of players away and there are only three of us to game (myself included). So instead running our normal Second Darkness campaign arc, Kent, Tom and I are going to run through We Be Goblins! as a one shot with 2nd level goblins.

Tom is planning on running a goblin cavalier. Kent was thinking about a goblin summoner but is nervous about the Cha penalty on goblins. I wouldn't think it would matter for a 2nd level adventure but to each his own. Last I heard he is thinking of witch or thief.

So the question now comes, what do I want for a DNPC.

Well the newest edition of Kobold Quarterly has just arrived at my house (I've been a print/pdf subscriber) since day 1 and it has a new class called the Savant in it. Let's have a look.

The Savant has a d8 Hit Dice and dabbles in tricks of other classes. Wait! what's this I need a notebook, well that is off the list, no goblin of mine is going to getting exiled for writing things down.

Since its similar in theme to the Factotum from Dungeonscape maybe I'll look at that. Hmm, "...He reads through tomes of arcane magic..." Damn, stupid writing. Okay, next.

I think I'm going to go with a binder class from the Secrets of Pact Magic by Dario Nardi. This book if you are unfamiliar with it is cap system similar to the binder class in WoTC's Tome of Magic. It would be nice if someone else did something similar for shadow magic and incarnum.

From this tome I believe I'm going to make an occult priest as a demon worshipping goblin.

F is for Femanx and Forlarren

Image
Back on July 1st, I blogged about the alien race known as the Femanx that caused onto Porphyra. It you didn't read it you can find the entry here . I believe I called them Femiax but I believe that name is closed content so in the final Races of Porphyra and Lands of Porphyra they will be address as Femanx. The other race that we have worked up for the letter F is the forlarren. Forlarren are the unfortunate offspring of demonic forces and nymphs. They are a very troubled race. We first worked with the folarren as a playable race back in Monstrous Races: The Second Wave and they turned out something like this. FORLARREN RACIAL TRAITS (0 RP) +2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, -2 Intelligence: Forlarren are graceful and intuitive, but possess only a low cunning that serves their cruelty. (2 RP) Fey: Forlarren are of the fey type. Forlarren possess no racial hit dice and exchange the features of their fey type for the class features of a PC or NPC class. (0 RP) Medium : Forlarren are Medi...

Megadungeons...

We need more megadungeons for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. There is Dungeon-A-Day, obviously and Paizo has just released Dungeons of Golarion (but its more of an overview). We need a classic megadungeon You know the kind... It doesn't have much in the way of plot or even make a lot of sense from level to level but it does have: - pathways to the darklands - prisons for eldritch demons - ancient ruins - lost civilizations - legendary weapons - unexplainable magic (lost magic) - mines - slave pits - elemental nodes - water-filled passages - mazes - one way doors (heck secret doors) - traps - haunted levels - classic monsters (ropers, trapper, mimics, otyughs [especially otyughs], owlbears) - dragons - monsters too big to have ever fit down those hallways. - artifacts A classic megadungeon with everything wrong and right about it. Who is with me!

Forest of Gora

The Forest of Gora sits between the kingdoms of Illaya and Grismor and serves as their border. Trade routes circle either side of the far stretching forest. Outposts can even be seen within sight of the forest, but none are ever directly next to it. Both kingdoms have learned nothing built near Gora will last the season without being ransacked or razed by those living in it. Both nations have tried on numerous occasions through the generations to lay claim to the land, either by force or in cooperation. Ill prepared for the guerrilla tactics of those that reside in it, they were held back every time. When the native occupants took out their building hostility on the private trade caravans that passed near their borders a quick, unofficial truce was quickly made with the impending threat of economic collapse a lack of trade would cause. Ecology Much of the flora and fauna of Gora is what one would expect from a temperate forest. A mix of broadleaf and evergreens provide a balance of wax...
