The Spiral of the Horned King's maze (not to be confused with The Labyrinth as a whole). Is Gash a friend or foe? The modrons' long, sad March to Nowhere. Prologue to Yeenoghu's Hunt (and how the heck do you say Yeenoghu, anyway). Readied actions. Sneak attacks, at range and otherwise. Damage from a character ...

Let’s Play Pathfinder: Kingmaker Beta #6 – Ancient Tomb
We catch up to Tartuccio in the Ancient Tomb, recruit one of his companions (the downer cleric, but hey we need a cleric) and give the rest a nice old fashioned beat down. When we catch up to the evil little gnome again, we find out he can be literally more cold-blooded than we thought. ...
D&D Out of the Abyss Notes #73 – The Labyrinth / Adamantine Tower
The Labyrinth continues with gargoyles and shadow demons at the mysterious adamantine tower. How often can you take a short rest? Dim light vs. bright light in game terms. How long does a readied action last? Surprise rules. What exactly are hit points? Challenge clever players, don't cheat them.

Let’s Play Pathfinder: Kingmaker Beta #5 – Oleg’s Trading Post
The bandits retaliate at Oleg's Trading Post as expected, but we're ready like a ready thing. What's the haps, Happs? A safe night's rest, a strange fog, a dreamy nymph, our first round of obligatory companion chats, and then it's off to hunt the Stag Lord! An odd stranger offers us guidance.
D&D Out of the Abyss Notes #72 – The Labyrinth
The homebrew subplot in Gauntlgrym has wrapped so it's back to the expedition in the Underdark! Vizeran wants his book back, which is awkward. The Labyrinth charges at our heroes with lots of minotaurs! Another ride on the antimagic field train. Can players be disruptive by nature while still taking the game seriously?
Let’s Play Pathfinder: Kingmaker Beta #4 – Oleg’s Trading Post
We find Oleg's Trading Post with the Stag Lord's thugs already there giving Oleg and his sweet dove Svetlana a hard time... so we smack them around like the brutal heroes we are. Preparations for the inevitable retaliation (cue "A-Team" theme). First round of leveling up.
Let’s Play Pathfinder: Kingmaker Beta #3
The battle against the assassins in Swordlord Aldori's fortress concludes. Suspicion is cast on us despite our heroic efforts (basically, Tartuccio's a big fat jerkface). The companions choose teams. World travel map, an ambush, and the resting system.
Let’s Play Pathfinder: Kingmaker Beta #2
BETRAYAL IN THE NIGHT after being given a quest to claim your own country! Opening battle and introduction to your companions, including an overeager bard, a cleric who needs a pep talk, a barbarian who fits the mold, and an undead elf with a scythe (plus, let's be honest, the sorcerer Tartuccio is almost certainly ...
Let’s Play Pathfinder: Kingmaker Beta #1
Updated character creation in the Beta version. Pretty nice stuff! Shane recreates his Magus from the Alpha knowing better how the class works now. NOTE: This video is character creation only. Next video starts gameplay.
