4 Winds Fantasy Gaming Updates
First up for new releases is Sean O'Connor's next contribution to the Paths of Power II: Paths of Blood.

Player's Option: Elves
Player's Options: Elves [PFRPG]

Every era and every culture has legends, long believed, of a fairy folk that lives long years, collects knowledge like sweet acorns, and possesses a casual magic beyond the greatest efforts of men. Elves.

Tall, graceful, beautiful, skilled; creatures of the forest, occasionally visiting the realms of lesser races. And while most (with notable exceptions) hold to the standards of good and the preservation of nature, there are those who become jaded with the weight of long life, and seek purposes somewhat less noble, pursuable only by those of their eldritch otherness. For their ways are not the ways of other races, and their power is the power of ages, with no limits.

Presented here are several options for your elven character, including two variant races, and numerous feats, flaws and equipment, to revitalize an intriguing race as old as fantasy gaming, as old as civilization itself... Easily introduced into your Pathfinder-compatible campaign!


This product is part of the Paths of Power II: Paths of Blood subscription.

What is really awesome

AL 5: Stars in the Darkness (DCC)

AL 5: Stars in the Darkness by Daniel J. Bishop (Raven_Crowking).

The Bridge over Infinity by Christopher Heilmann
In millennia past, the ancestors of the elves protected the stars as they followed their courses, for there are wolves in the outer dark.  Yet what manner of creature would dare to consume stars as though they were sheep in the field?  And what has become of the ancient starherds who once stopped such monsters?  For such a monster is back - Urstah, the Star-Drinker.  Stars are disappearing from the night sky, and with the loss of those stars, luck is being drained from the world.  Your luck.  Dare you enter the caverns, face the star-drinker, and release the stars in darkness?

Stars in the Darkness is a DCC adventure designed for four to eight, third level characters, that can easily be dropped into your campaign.  In it, characters seek to stop an ancient evil from arising, with possibly devastating effects should they fail.  This is our largest, and most epic, adventure for DCC to date.

All products in the Adventure Locale line present one or more dungeons that can be quickly picked up and used for a session of the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game.

This product is based on the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game, published by Goodman Games. This product is published under license.

Rules Set: DCC RPG
Writer: +Daniel Bishop
Page Count: 38 pages
Artwork: Christopher Heilmann
Cartography: +Kristian Richards 

Super Secret Fact: If you use battle maps with DCC, +Kristian Richards has battle maps that can be used for this adventure as well. AL 5 shares the same maps as Purple Mountain III but a completely different and utterly unique DCC experience.


Oh, right I also have a secret code that even lets you get this massive module for a $1 off.

Print-On-Demand versions of AL 4: The Waystation and AL 5: Stars in the Darkness should be ready by June.

Reviews of our Products
- Erik Tenkar of Tenkar's Tavern has a mini-review of AL 4: The Waystation.
- Jeffrey Tadlock of the Iron Tavern has his review of AL 4: The Waystation as well.
- Endzeitgeist has a new review of Robert Thomson's GM's Options: NPCs 2 - Bards, Fighters, and Monks.

Playtesting
We just finished the playtest on Purple Mountain - Level 6 written by Perry Fehr. I believe he's going to take it to do some revisions and maybe by June it could be out. 

Next Release
The next release from Purple Duck Games will be freebie to kick off our Tome of Monsters Encounters series written by Perry Fehr and myself. It may be out next week, but I'm not counting on it because I have a very busy week coming up.

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...
