Hello again! It’s very good to see that you all stuck around after the introduction. In fact, it seems like perhaps some of you snuck your way in between panels! Very good: you’re all very much welcome and if we need any more seats I’m sure Morva will be glad to grab some from the other room.

For those of you just arriving, I am Quarion Xiliscient and I am promoting, today, my new book titled: Magical Beasts and How to Craft Them. This is a series of lectures, beginning with the “Tavern Talk” which I gave prior to this panel, and you can likely find a magical record of somewhere in the archives (I’m sure Notch would be more than happy to help you locate it). During this hour we will be doing some hands-on work crafting a monster ourselves. I’ll be pulling from foreign mythology for the basis of the creature and then we’ll see where our imagination leads us.

Also note that after this I will be taking a random volunteer from the audience to come up here and build a beast with me! On a perfectly unrelated topic, if Baybreeze or Notch can ensure that someone from our party is seated in the audience before the end of this talk, that would be greatly appreciated; thank you.

Good Morrow, my dear countrymen! Quarion Xiloscient has returned with the new opus he promised you!

In today’s Tavern Talk Monologue I go over the first part of Magical Beasts and How to Craft Them and build the framework by which we will venture to build Mythical Creatures in future installments; this includes topics such as: the importance of creating a unique monster with meaningful mechanics, and how the monster and your position as the DM relates to the party and their gameplay experience.

It is my hope to cover this topic in at least three parts: this intro; a Campaign Corner where I craft a simple Beastie from common lore; and a second where we are hopefully joined by one of my noble companions (who all I can assure you has never committed any acts of theft, vandalism, or mass murder). Depending on the response, we may look to extend the Campaign Corner section further.

Hello, good citizens: Quarion Xiloscient has deigned to grace your presence!

Today I shall be presenting an informative Tavern Talk Monologue on how D&D 3.5’s EXP System actually works and how the revelation helps to shape and reinforce my opinion on Experience in Roleplaying Games. It is my hope that you find this knowledge edifying and lights within you a thirst for a deeper understanding of the subject.

Also, at my next appearance I hope to go over my new work titled “Magical Beasts and How To Craft Them.” Please do look forward to it!

In this second half our Dungeon Build, the dungeon becomes more elaborate and more deadly as Matt and Reid travel through the Soldier’s Hall, stop in the Mummification Room, marvel at the Nobles’ Theater of Thrones, and have an Epic Final Showdown (or is it!?) in the Majestic Tomb of the God-King with the Necromancer that the Party has been tracking this whole time.

Note: Sorry for the delayed release on this one! Entirely my fault; forgot I hadn’t given Ben Part 2 until I was reminded. – Reid

Campaign Corner – Halloween Special Part 1

Welcome to Campaign Corner!

We’ve decided to move our smaller content- related to building and maintaining Campaigns as a DM- to its own separate category. This way, when you click on Tavern Talk or Campaign Corner, you’ll know what kind of content to expect.

For our first official post, Matt and I will be crafting the best dungeon for All Hallows’ Eve that you’ve ever seen*.  To focus more on Theme-driven development of the dungeon, we’ll be eschewing all hard statistics, making this Dungeon perfectly System-Agnostic and therefore perfect for you! Look forward to Part 2 to be released (appropriately) on Halloween!

Hey Guys, it’s Reid and I’ll be writing the post today! (That guy that plays characters with obtuse names)

We’ve decided to alternate back and forth between Pumpkin Spice and Lightlessness as there seems to be interest in continuing our Pathfinder campaign. We’re totally open to feedback on the decision, so let your opinion be heard in the comment section for this episode or by way of our inbox: contact@pathlesspod.com.

In today’s episode, the group parts ways with Erik, who is off to make repairs to Kaine, and travels to Luka’s house where they talk shop and acquire assistance with identifying their magic items (because half the group can’t already do that…). Jokes and fun abound per usual, so download and enjoy! (Note: we shortened up the episode length slightly to make them more convenient to consume; as above, let us know how you like the change).

Our Twitter following has been increasing steadily, so come join us if you haven’t already. And don’t forget about the Facebook page!

As usual links to all our Social Media accounts are on the website‘s sidebar, and you can rate, review, and download the podcast via iTunes!

Thanks for Visiting

Hope things are going well as you search the site. If you have any issues or feedback please use our contact link at the top right of the site. We would love to engage with you.
