Now that we’ve already looked at the setting material for Fables: Agents of the Empire, it’s time to look at the initial adventure for the campaign. The campaign starts at 3rd level, but there are missions in the appendix to this one that will allow you to start at 1st level, performing “try-out” missions to see if The Agency will

I realized looking back on my coverage of the Fables line that I’m not really doing a first impression of each individual adventure, so much as doing a running review of the entire adventure path as the individual installments were released. Because of this, I’m going to treat these just a little bit differently going forward. I’m just going to

I didn’t manage to take a look at this issue the week it was released, because the release got pushed back, and let’s face it, even if it wasn’t, January was a mess, so let’s just call it a wash. In the intervening time since we last looked at an issue of Arcadia, there was some . . . drama

We are up to episode four of the latest campaign, with only two more installments to go. Disclaimer I was

Let’s take a look at this month’s Arcadia magazine, issue number 20. This one has definitely outlived some other attempts at stepping into the “original fantasy d20 game’s magazine” shoes, and it appears to be going strong at this point. Disclaimer I’m subscribed to the MCDM Patreon, so I would get a copy of this magazine when it goes out

As we sail into September, it’s time to look at another installment of Ghostfire Gaming’s Pirates of the Aetherial Expanse campaign, Episode 3, The Lost Constellation. We’re halfway through this campaign with the publication of this adventure. Because I’m a mean wet blanket, I’ll be continuing to look at how adaptable this adventure is if you choose to run it
