Campaign Corner – Magical Beasts and How to Craft Them: Part 2
Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:00:40 +0000
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.

Tavern Talk – Magical Beasts and How to Craft Them
Wed, 13 Sep 2017 16:00:37 +0000
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.

Tavern Talk – What I Learned About EXP From Dungeons and Dragons 3.5
Sun, 02 Apr 2017 17:40:15 +0000
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!

You know, sometimes you have a cool idea but the players don’t think so. That’s what we call preparing for a session instead of winging it.
What you want…Work Work.

Campaign Corner – Halloween Special Part 2
Mon, 14 Nov 2016 04:00:29 +0000
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
Tue, 25 Oct 2016 04:28:00 +0000
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!

Remember all of those people. Will they live? Will they die? Will they starve? I’m talking about the immigrant crisis over in Europe. It still isn’t solved even if you don’t see it in the news. That is men, women, and children just like you and me with no where to live, work, or get food from. Be a better human.

Let’s give a round of applause for Thomas Cole for dying….long enough ago that his work is in public domain and we can use it for podcast art. I think he would totally play D&D honestly, I’d like to invite his ghost to join the show if he is reading this.

The party is disbanded, Notch and Baybreeze are together, but Quarion has run away as a lycan. The world is now under the invited control of Malar, God of Hunt and Chaos. The players start to learn what this world will hold for them.

Gearing up for our second season here is a recap I put together of season 1. It is rather dry and I did my best to speak in an understandable way, but let’s be serious here…you pay nothing for this. Ta ta for now los gatos locos.
I’m sure I mentioned some time off somewhere

This podcast has produced 63 episodes, some obviously not as long or big as others, and has been going since the end of November (Beta content from then has since been removed.) We love playing, don’t mind recording, and I generally don’t mind running all this stuff but life is getting busy and chances are we are going to not have truly original content to post for a few weeks.
Summary of where we all are, and why we aren’t at the podcast:
Matt is going on vacation.
Jer is living in Japan.
Reid is releasing Horizons, an original Pen and Paper Roleplaying System.
Sam is working on his house.
I am helping Sam when I can and spending time with the family.
and Josh is assisting those from China who visit America.
Worst Case scenario…we are back with pathfinder content in October. Best case scenario, season two of lightlessness kicks off beginning of November. Which means you may get crap in your feed that I create or have sitting around until then…or nothing!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA.
An Edit from the episode, I claimed around 500 words so far for the first couple episodes abridged, it is actually 3000 words.
Sun, 06 Sep 2015 10:00:10 +0000
It appears we’ve stumbled upon some ruins….and maybe some traps….and hopefully some death….of the monsters we fight against. Not Talrah.
Fast and Loose as is promised with these PF PS EPs. (see how fast and loose that was). Pumpkin spice is coming…btw I don’t drink coffee.

Tue, 18 Aug 2015 00:00:31 +0000
This junk is magic missiles, m-i-s-s-i-l-e-s! You heard him, or you will. The thoughts of the man who plays Reid IRL. Are spellcaster crap in 5E? What about Prestige classes? So you think you can multiclass (*class…class*)? Who’s the better DM: An epic battle between old Ben and new Ben. Why Reid has asked to be a Werebadger, and the DM said he will allow it. All that and more in this episode of Tavern Talk!
Sun, 16 Aug 2015 16:00:41 +0000
Don’t think of it as poor audio quality, think of it as edge, raw, and authentic. Gordon Black is using an online roller that fudges all of his rolls to be really high unless he has fortune in which case it always makes the first roll a one so that he can’t possibly believe he is cheating. It’s not my son yelling and interrupting the podcast, it is a cultural study of family structures. Is Sam so sick of the players going rouge that he is literally taking them out of his world and sending them to a prison island to reform? All this and more in this episode of Pathfinder Gameplay Pumpkin Spice!

Welcome to the conclusion of Season 1 of our Lightlessness Campaign. We made it, well at least some of us do…
Sun, 26 Jul 2015 16:00:58 +0000
The players have collected all ritual materials and found themselves on Hick’s Farm where the origin of lycanthropy in Felicia was started. The players have to decide whether Mytha’s sacrifice is worth the supposed spread of the condition or if something is horribly wrong.
We needed the AC because it was in the 90’s, sorry for the hum, we did a couple parts without it and then would open the door and get it back. Getting rid of the hum leads to us sounding like we are playing in an aluminum bomb shelter…cool concept, not so cool sound. Peace fools!
Ep. 18 Home is Getting Wrecked
Sun, 19 Jul 2015 16:00:54 +0000
Baybreeze is on the run, and could at any second be caught by a town guard from stealing from the country’s museum: Felicia Art Project (FAP). He just couldn’t live without the fire horse he saw there. If his heist goes successfully the players still have the dreaded Hick’s food processing center to deal with. What could wait in such industrial horrors?

A random 5th Edition D&D Episode.
Sorry, but we had lightlessness planned for today and life got in the way. Twice I believe actually. We’ve had this sitting around, but we weren’t sure if it turned out the way we wanted so we were sitting on it. Regardless enjoy, and hopefully sometime soon our group will be playing Dnd again so we can finish up the first part of our 5E campaign. Expect the second part of this or a tavern talk most likely next Sunday. The main idea behind this campaign was to use a ton of random story ideas I’ve had for campaigns but we’d never have the time to actually start and play till completion. Many of the ideas were birthed from listening to some of the first episodes of Dungeon Master’s Block which is one of my favorite podcasts. Their new Hired Heroes Story is freaking amazing and makes me want to quit podcasting.

Beautiful title for a beautiful episode, you should be able to hear birds constantly chirping in the background since it was upper 80’s when we recorded and the AC makes too much noise and costs too much money. Characters make it back to Morva’s homeland and try to find the scale of Moorin. An ancient silver dragon who gave birth to the first of Morva’s dragonborn people.

Tavern Talk – Styles of Play and Baybreeze Background
Wed, 25 Mar 2015 14:00:05 +0000
I would like to cackle in an evil fashion thinking I’ve thwarted you guys with another combo-extra-sode…but it seems that these don’t actually bother people so I’ll have to leave the cackling to Chagur. A little less talk on Baybreeze’s background then due to him, but hopefully you find the discussion meaningful or entertaining or you get mad or something. Come to the website if you can’t see the full background below www.pathlesspod.com.
- Born in the Kingdom of Cecil, Baybreeze Wimble Korren lived in a quiet forest town near the ocean with his gnome father, a woodworker by trade who is known for his wooden masks, and his mother, who assisted in the sale of these wooden items. Baybreeze watched day in and out as men and woman of all shapes and sizes came and went. He sat by the docks and listened to stories of love, loss, and triumph all due to the great sea. He could not accept a life of whittling wood like his father, especially for the creepy witches that would buy his masks. So one day he resolved that next time the tide came in, he would be follow it out.
- Baybreeze stowed away on the ship of Captain Basset who upon finding him, told him that one rule of The Craw is that all stowaways must fight for their lives. He handed his rapier to young Baybreeze and told him to fight if he wanted to live. Baybreeze with no hesitation picked up the rapier scared for his life and the crew all changed from threatening to laughter. Baybreeze has captain Basset’s rapier to this day.
- After 50 long years at sea Baybreeze worked his way up the ranks and built a name for himself on the seas. One night the Captain asked to see him in his quarters, the First Mate, a Tiefling named Tarta was discussing their next big take when Baybreeze arrived and was told to go to bed for the night. The Captain then took this time to explain to Baybreeze that though Tarta was the first Mate she values death over booty and no true pirate can live this way. He was getting old, being human, and in his 20’s when he first found Baybreeze as a stowaway and it was time for him to give up a life of sea. He dare not break the pirate’s code and give Tarta her spot as captain as she had been with him from the beginning, but he wondered if he could convince Baybreeze to retire as well and start a new adventure on the dry land of a new continent along his side. He claimed the next port was his destination and he was sure there was treasure and adventure waiting there, along with a reliable warm, dry, bed for his old body.
- There was only two days left till port when a sudden and violent storm hit the ship. Things were chaotic as they tried to hold the ship and all its cargo together and somewhere at the end of the storm Captain Basset was missing. Most chalked it up to his old age no longer being able to handle the high seas, some only thought but dare not blame Tarta who stood to gain from the loss. Regardless everyone drank all of the cargo worth of ale until they more or less crashed into a dock at port and stumbled onto dry land.
- Baybreeze was in the land of new adventure, and even if he didn’t know before whether he was ready to leave the seas he knew he no longer had a captain he could follow back out at this time. He traveled inward, maybe as a final gift to his resting friend’s spirit.
- He ported in Piazza, a large city with large houses that housed many in separate dwelling. There were men that opened the doors for these houses as if that were their full time job. What else was interesting about this town was that they seemed to have many independently moving mechanical objects. Some for work and some for pleasure, the town was full of vendors that sold little toys that could talk and move their arms with the wind of a key. While he was in port he also looked at the ships, amazed to see that even a dingy cost 2000 gold. The people in this land were definitely something else.
- As he walked around and talked to individuals he found that the city is full of many skilled artificers and even those who work for and with these people are very well off.
- He heard that the land was currently in a war, but not to worry as it has been in one for 200 years now with the neighboring land of Gorm.
- As he walked the streets of town his eyes caught a platinum necklace with a large topaz at the end and two bracelets covered in jewels. He then noticed that they were on a beautiful half elf girl.
- He suavely introduced himself to her as a lonely world renowned pirate in from see in desperate need of a guide through this town, she was not scared nor impressed, but seemed oddly fascinated with him. He later found that there were few gnomes in the land of Felicia and she was greatly attracted to his style of dress (and tattoos?) which was refreshing from the standard trends of their town.
- Within hours Baybreeze found his way into one of the fancy houses with door holders but he was insisted on having to climb through the window around back by the young half elf Adelaide. This house unlike the others only housed one family, and was full of expansive art work and ornaments that Baybreeze could just see the gold pouring out of. Before he had a chance to choose which items to carry he was whisked off by the hand upstairs to a room that seemed rather juvenile for Adelaide unless he had greatly misjudged her age…he hope he didn’t. There were light colored walls with paintings of forests and horses. Around the room were what looked like children’s toys, just more detailed and intricate than he had ever seen. As he looked around the room he saw a shelf in the room with jewelry similar in quality and size and value to what she was wearing. He walked over and asked about each piece gathering appraisal information to save some effort for later. It was while she was talking about the make and specific Jewels within a tiara that the Man whose job it was to open Door shouted “Announcing the arrival of Duke Greggors” at this Adelaide freaked and insisted that Baybreeze go out the window of her second story room. She began to herd him towards it as her father voice trailed toward her room. Baybreeze attempted to grasp just one of the items as she pushed him away from them toward the window and failed. In final attempt he asked for a token to remember her by, something of great beauty and value much like herself that he would have to return so they could see each other again. She agreed and quickly reached toward all the expensive jewelry to grab a rather drab looking stone horse. She told him that her father brought it home from a trip he took up north a couple months ago and strictly told her to keep it safe and hidden because though you can put a value on jewelry and art works you can’t put a value on true magic. Putting this within Baybreeze’s hands and pushing him out the window she called to him that the horse would bring him back later that evening. This yell had called the attention of some wandering town guards whose post the perimeter of the Duke’s Mansion. They then yelled that there was a half man coming out of the Duchesses bedroom and began to pursue. Baybreeze was able to get the slip of them but before doing so yelled you have not seen the last of the great pirate Baybreeze Wimble Korren. In his hiding and keeping distance he found that more and more people were looking at him and it was later that night when a new guard interrogated him of being a gnome near the Duke’s house today that he knew he’d have to leave the town. He really wished he had one of his father’s wooden masks at a time like this.
- Heading further inland not by the traditional roads for fear of being recognized he got to a field of food which seemed to be a farm. Arriving late at night he crashed in a barn and stole water and feed from the animals housed there, he was amazed to see how many animals there were and belts of metal that made long stretches from the feed bin down in front of all the animals in wooden stalls. It was the morning whirring of machines that woke him up. Assuming he was at sea and not expecting all the mechanical noise he made a startled grunt which drew the attention of a nearby Human who was winding these metallic objects with a large key not too far from his location. This man threatened Baybreeze, but Baybreeze was easily able to explain off the situation and get the Man’s name. He was a head Tech, a term foreign to Baybreeze, named Lecky, and they were on Hick’s food processing center.
- Lecky took a liking to Baybreeze who shared stories with him and gave him more attention than most, so he explained the way the food processing center worked which was actually just a really weird farm. The workers were generally underpaid, but the Felicia outlawed slavery so it isn’t slave labor. It functions of using technology to feed and care for more animals and produce more food at a lesser price. Hick’s owns the farm but is never there. He lives in the city of Piazza and actually recently purchased dukeship of the land 5 years ago. Lecky explained this was typical of land ownership, it was traded based on value and possible income. That actually this used to be more wooded and ran by elves back in the day, or so they say. He got excited when he talked of the elves and insisted on bringing Baybreeze to the ruins of the original owner’s home.
- He stated that the owner’s home predated the start of Felicia, though he doesn’t know much else about it. Within the ruins Baybreeze could see it was remarkable architecture with more feeling than functionality, in contrast to the farm/food processing center that ran around it. Lecky excitingly hurried Baybreeze along to his favorite part. A wall sized Marble tapestry that was cracked in crumbling over 80% of its image. It truly must have been a site in its full glory and gave Baybreeze that awe inspiring feel that he thought only the sea could provide. He spent a good amount of time looking over the marble, trying to make out details and ultimately could only piece together an image of people with hands in the hair and in front of their faces with some sort of lines connecting from what may have been the sky to the people. In the corner of the tapestry he also found an inscription in elven that Lecky did not know what he meant, so Baybreeze wrote it down and took it with him.
- In conversation with Lecky Baybreeze also learned of the major highways that connect the north to the south with the capital at the center. The south to the Capitol is Darius Pass, the North to the capitol is Belvin’s way. Lecky encouraged Baybreeze to visit the capital if he really enjoyed the experience of the elven ruins.
- They also discussed magic to a tiny bit and Lecky knew little about it, but states that the Greyjaws up south hold on to much more mystical beliefs and embrace tech less so maybe Baybreeze will find something up there.
- Baybreeze makes it to the capitol hitching a ride on the many caravans that travel Darius’ Pass.
- While there he is greeted by very nice guards, offered free tours of the capitol. See beautiful floral arrangements and very skilled wood work of statues overlaid in silver as well as signs similarly made. He finds that the majority of population in Felicia is Human, Elf, and Half-Elf. That it was founded by slaves on the run from their Master by a guy named Murdok.
- He also couldn’t find anyone who could read his inscription but was told that it was ancient Elvish and only an elf from the old world could read it and there was one such further north, the Duke Penlod.
- He traveled alongside Belvin’s Major Trade River Trinada seeing minor trade towns along the river until he reached Penlod Xiloscient: Duke of MericÍ (Mare-uh-see) which also happened to be the gathering grounds for the armies new recruits. He was surprised to see nothing else on the land other than tents, fires, and one large mansion similar to the elven ruins he saw, but it felt as though it had less heart at least from the outside.
- The door to the large mansion was answered by Penlod who introduced himself as such. Baybreeze noticed over their time together that he was a rather twitchy man and a bit off though very friendly toward Baybreeze who won him over with his wit and charm and most of all the fact that he carried a rapier.
- Baybreeze gets tour of house, notices that Penlod lives completely alone with no servants. He has a son who is out traveling named Quarian and these are the only painted pictures on the wall, though some pictures were taken down or missing given the empty space in certain areas. Penlod showed him his rapier collection and talked of his dream to get a Diamondback rapier, a rapier made out of pure Diamond. When asked why he doesn’t have one he stated they only come from a hidden location in the north east and Penlod only owns rapiers that can be shipped to him or brought by another party. His collection was very impressive and well cared for. Feeling a bit sorry for Penlod and happy for his hospitality Baybreeze offers him Captain Basset’s rapier thinking that this would have been a wonderful resting place for the Captain in his old age, and knowing that the rapier would be cared for much better than he ever could.
- Penlod is unable to read ancient elven anymore as he barely speaks the tongue this past 300 years since he struck his deal with King Murdok and Felicia was formed. Also feeling trusting of Penlod, Baybreeze shows him the house, and Penlod states that he can still feel the magic flowing through things and though he is out of practice this small horse has a great power hidden within it. He suggests that Baybreeze go to Tribeck to the great library there to see if his Elvish could be translated. Additionally there may be someone who knows about his stone horse or at least a book about it. Penlod hopes Baybreeze will come back soon and asks him to stay the night before leaving.
- Baybreeze arrives at Tribeck when the story begins.

Getting these descriptors shorter and sweeter. More 5E combat, a skill task, and maybe a couple hidden surprises in game. One of the areas is inspired by Dark Souls. 10 points to Gryffindor to whoever figures it out. Comment on the episode or email us at contact@pathlesspod.com with any input ideas or interesting stories from 5E.
Tavern Talk – Warlocks in 5E / Notch Stern Background
Wed, 18 Mar 2015 14:00:58 +0000
Combosode that may confuse you. Yes it is a tavern talk and yes it is an companion episode for the Lightlessness campaign. Probably a bad idea to mix categories. But did you really want a 20 minute and then a 15 minute episode? Maybe you did…see below for Notch’s background semi discussed in episode.
- Notch is a Tiefling Warlock with a love of all things knowledge.
- Notch grew up in the city life of Piazza, where he lived in a shared dwelling with separate living spaces called a Seperatment. He was always different from birth being one of the few pure tieflings that had come from a time his parents referred to as A-ru-drah (spoken like three barks) which was abyssal for the breaking of chains. He later grew up to learn from his parents what it really meant
- The human Murdok Stromal came to the land with ten thousand men of many races, majority elven and human. They were all slaves until Murdok led a rebellion and they fled from their land across the Tiber (Tib-er) ocean. They worked within a plant creating clockworks for a man known as the Emerald King in the land of Samara, and had stolen parts over time to build a large raft like hovercraft which Murdok had designed. When it was completed Murdok convinced all the plant workers across a large whole of the land’s assemblies to destroy their work places and those clockworks that were in charge of reporting back to the King or winding his soldiers. They made it to the Land now known as Felicia and vowed to gain support through alliances and use their tools and knowledge to build up a force to protect if the Emerald King sent minions across the Ocean. Felicia was mainly inhabited by spaced out families of Elves, some druidic in nature, sects of dwarves which kept separate from the elves, and a united society of Dragonborns with provinces throughout the land. The elves welcomed their brothers in the race among their people and supported their brother’s friends. The dwarfs were promised technology from Samara if they were to share their land and help. But the Dragonborns threatened to send the slaves back to their master as this was their way and beliefs. Because of this the elves out of a desire to protect their kin, the dwarves interested in the technology, and Murdok with his army of ten thousand went to each province and asked for amnesty, if this was not granted they were forced to destroy that province. Ultimately to this day no one has ever come from Samara to regain their slaves.
- Piazza is a shoreline town that is very expensive to live in. Most of the people who live there are in charge of making and designing machines known as Forge. Some big, some small, they all are based off exact engineering to run off fire, water, air, or wound gears. There are those who sell smaller machines with less purpose to tourists, such as toys, or small noise makers known as alarms that hit a bell after a certain hour cycle when set.
- Notch was more or less accepted for his abyssal bloodline and qualities throughout his life, his parents had come from parents who knew the great evil of having freedom taken away and making machines of destruction. Though the mature in his society never treated them negatively he was set apart in being the only pureblood Tiefling in all his learnings by the Half-Evlen Scholar Silvio.
- Silvio always treated notch as a certain favorite due to more than their shared interest in books. He had noticed from a young age that Notch had a spiritual understanding beyond his own and some link to that world. Small things would happen when Notch engaged deeply in discussion about these beliefs in an Old One, which no one had ever taught him about. After assisting in the raising of Notch he saw that Notch was destined for more than being a Forge-head as he would refer too many of the kid’s parents on some occasions. He encouraged Notch to head up north to study among some of the original land dwellers (Known by some in the south as Greyjaws) whose ways of life were still very spiritual and their reliance on Gods and the supernatural unaffected by the Forge that had changed the lives of those in the south. Though Notch’s parents were not happy when asked by Notch to travel up North when he became a man of age, they knew he wasn’t quite right, though they not dare admit it, or mess with their very pleasant social standing among the people. They feared many would have no problem making the slight jump to demonic, which would not go well.
- With some money from his parents for the journey Notch set off up North on the very popular Darius’ Pass and took some turns east in the spur of the moment until he heard of a tribe of dwarves known as the Topart Tribe, in the Scronag Mountains. These mountain dwarves are a close knit tribe that were here before the country of Felicia was united, some argue their existence in these lands rival that of the elves. The strange mountains rarely connect at the base which average 20 to 100 ft. in diameter. From that base they shoot up vertically up to two miles high, all very steep but the rock is solid. So much so that the Topart tribe has hollowed out caves for dwelling within the base of these spire-like mountains. Many in the south know of these mountains and are perplexed by their existence given that there are 233 mountain peaks and a natural explanation for the formation of such a formation has yet to be found. For the dwarves of the Topart tribe the explanation is simple:
- Game and sustenance on the Scronag mountains: Though not readily known or believed by many the Topart Tribe hunts Yeti’s that live and move between spires in the dead of night. The largest of spires have hidden dwellings up high beneath the snow. The tribe also compete with the Yeti’s in hunting griffin’s that make nests at the tips of the spires. Griffin eggs are quite the treat and Notch misses them dearly. While with the Topart tribe for 2 years he had only seen one successful yeti kill. To bring a Yeti to the Topart people is to gain their respect and acceptance to their society.
- The Moon: While living up in the Scronag Mountains Notch was able to learn to climb well from the people and spent many evenings high up on peaks studying and mapping the stars. He had found a strange fascination with the moon during this time which led to random unexplainable events similar to those during his childhood but on a greater scale. He felt powerful near the moon, and over time learned to harness this internal power. One night of a full moon, while training high up a spire Notch was hit by strong winds, within these winds were words in abyssal saying “I am the old one which you seek” “Your true name is (what your character sheet says)” “Your time of learning is complete, head to Tribeck, my children need you”
- Notch stirs over this experience for some time before regretfully leaving the kind Topart people and what had become his home these past two years. He could not shake the itch that there was more for him in Tribeck, and to miss out of the knowledge and wisdom from a new experience was against who he felt he was. Given rations and a farewell celebration of rotisserie Griffin Notch made way to Tribeck.
- Upon arriving in Tribeck, not knowing what else to do, he remembers as a child in Piazza hearing of the great Library in Tribeck which housed ancient information from lands passed, many curated and provided by the dwarves, elves, and Dragonborns who lived here before. The library was formed by the third King Thrombeg in an effort to support new learning when it was found that integration in other areas other than Forge was difficult for the children and grandchildren of the slaves from Samara. The Library was named after the King and is to this day Thrombeg Archive.
- Arriving at the library, he found the place to be quite empty. It still was majestic and full of books, but gently disheveled in places (books in stacks of various sizes, some laying on their sides, fallen between the empty spaces on shelves, and covered in dust. The library itself had a sleeping Human in his 20’s behind a large circular wooden table. Notch approached the table and greeted the man startling him awake. The human’s name was Job, and he quickly apologized for being asleep but no one rarely comes in and he was up late the night before drinking with some of his friends who are scholars of Forge.
- Conversation continues and Job grows interested in the adventures and story of leaving home that Notch shares. Job has grown up in Tribeck, and failed to thrive at crafting, forge knowledge, and entertaining so he found paid lodging and a wage caring for the library. He tells Notch that they have books on the sky, though he doesn’t know where, he ensures Notch he saw them though. When asking Notch what his business in town was or if he had a place to stay Notch fails to be able to adequately answer either. Notch states that the Library’s overseer, Weather Lophandle, may be able to offer him a job, given that he always complains about having to fill in the night shifts when Job has off. Interested in this idea and desperately wanting to find those books Job had talked about Notch stayed in the Library until Weather arrived. Around sun down a rather woodsy looking dwarf came in the front doors of the library, wearing leather, and an animal pelt across his shoulders. He had six small axes in holsters, three on both sides. He had a long uncut beard that was far from even in length. He ignored Notch who was off on the left reading, and walked up to Job who asked how the hunting went. The scruff dwarf grunted in reply. He then introduced Notch to the dwarf, who only asked if he hunted and what his pay would be. Job interrupted saying that Notch has hunted Yeti’s which genuinely sparked Weather’s interest and Notch was given the job at 1 silver a day to watch the library 4 days a week from afternoon to darkness (two hours after sun down).
- While working at the library Notch received a letter addressed to the head librarian delivered by a courier. He offered it to Weather who could care less, then to Job who allowed it to sit on his desk through a week’s worth of napping shifts until Notch felt he must open it. It was indeed a letter, but no-where did it say from whom. The return address was for Quarks, a forge parts town in the south west of the country. In the letter the sender asked for many questions and the books that would hold their answers. He asked for those answers to be found, written and sent back. Notch having no work to do as a soul rarely set foot in the library began this scavenger hunt. The books he searched through for answers were Plants by Fey, Furry and Lovable, and Living off the Land and Loving it. He wrote back the answers and asked to the sender’s name, as well as giving an introduction of himself. A few weeks later he received another letter, addressed the same way, with no acknowledgment of any of his pleasantries and with none of the information he had asked for. Again a list of books and again a list of questions. Notch continued. This went on for months with topics ranging, but they seemed to converge around demonic practices, cults, and nature. With books such as “How to ‘C’ a cult by Boaz, A coup d’état by Mordecai, and strangely a children’s book called: Stories from the Dark by Nerix Featherfoot. It was the final letter that was most interesting, for this one was addressed to one Notch Stern when it arrived from one Bubbles Keyholder
- The final letter read: Not much time. Our research has unearthed them. Cult of the Silver Moon. Bigger than we know. Cure or kill? Ranks and meetings. Medallions and murder. They came from us, in history lost to the Forge. What do they seek? I’ve seen their beasts and they are coming. If you find me with them….kill me
- Notch has heard nothing since and has been unable to gain any more information on the subject. He is comforted by knowledge but desires action and is waiting for the opportunity to present itself.

The battle against the undead ensues and we make it fun by describing and discussing whether or not the death of skeletons could bother us like the death of a human. I mean we are all skeletons on the inside so there shouldn’t be that big of a difference.

Ep. 8 Home is a Sticky Situation
Sun, 08 Mar 2015 14:00:20 +0000
The character’s travel down the Kektru Path and find themselves in some sweet and simple(?) 5th Edition D&D Combat. The players catch on quickly (faster than the DM about 30 minutes into the podcast) that they can now move out from behind cover and shoot then get back behind cover without taking any negatives. It’s been hard for me at least to get used to being able to move around while within someone’s threat range without an attack of opportunity. There is talk of disengage and critical hits as well in Dungeons and Dragons Next.
Reid is doing a project checking how long it takes players to make a decision per round in combat. Our experience has been that combat is more exciting with hits happening more often and it feels faster, but the player character’s are still low level so that may be a factor.
Enjoy and feel free to comment, email (contact@pathlesspod.com), or use any social media with any thoughts or input.
If you were wondering…Math of encounter without Morva was 50 xp under hard which was normal before.

Let’s be honest, this posted by accident. Don’t get me wrong this is something we wanted to share with you guys, but it wasn’t scheduled to post today. So enjoy the little audio component with me and Reid if you can and dig into some of the story lore if you desire. Thanks for your support, enjoy the by accident bonus episode.
- Quarion’s father is Penlod Xiloscient: Duke of Merici (Mare-uh-see). He is part of the original elves who inhabited the land that was claimed by and united as Felicia (Fe-li-see-a) by Human Murdok Stromal 350 years ago.
- Penlod has never taken Quarion off the estate. Quarion has noticed over time that is father is a great deal of a shut in and also not completely sane. He has an unhealthy obsession with rapiers so much so that he has spent more time with them then Quarion, he claims that the halls of his keep are a better place than the rest of the world, and he grumbles angrily to himself sometimes when alone as if he is fighting with someone.
- Being of a noble line, with a father who was there to see it all happen, Quarion was privileged to learn the true history behind Felicia’s uniting. The history told and taught by others under orders of the last 9 rulers.
- The human Murdok Stromal came to the land with ten thousand men of many races, majority elven and human. They were all slaves until Murdok led a rebellion and they fled from their land across the Tiber (Tib-er) ocean. They worked within a plant creating clockworks for a man known as the Emerald King in the land of Samara, and had stolen parts over time to build a large raft like hovercraft which Murdok had designed. When it was completed Murdok convinced all the plant workers across a large whole of the land’s assemblies to destroy their work places and those clockworks that were in charge of reporting back to the King or winding his soldiers. They made it to the Land now known as Felicia and vowed to gain support through alliances and use their tools and knowledge to build up a force to protect if the Emerald King sent minions across the Ocean. Felicia was mainly inhabited by spaced out families of Elves, some druidic in nature, sects of dwarves which kept separate from the elves, and a united society of Dragonborns with provinces throughout the land. The elves welcomed their brothers in the race among their people and supported their brother’s friends. The dwarfs were promised technology from Samara if they were to share their land and help. But the Dragonborns threatened to send the slaves back to their master as this was their way and beliefs. Because of this the elves out of a desire to protect their kin, the dwarves interested in the technology, and Murdok with his army of ten thousand went to each province and asked for amnesty, if this was not granted they were forced to destroy that province. Ultimately to this day no one has ever come from Samara to regain their slaves.
- Elven history- Murdok had found safety and employment by the elves who allowed them to live alongside their people. This though was not enough for Murdock who, though free, felt as though he just went from working from one master to another. He schemed with his now freed elven companions to sow the need for a united kingdom due to the threat that the Emerald King would be to their land and how he would ravage nature with his poison. The elves being peaceful people who desperately desired to protect nature were easily convinced. Murdok set forth himself as leader and with the support of his elves brought his united treaty to all the people of the land. The dwarves joined the nation for technology to sunder stone like never before and cut precious stones in ways never thought achievable. The elves agreed to rule provinces of land they already owned and take on the exiles. But the Dragonborn people did not fear the Emerald King and were content, not being part of a nation. They were not against its formation, only asked to keep their land and be worked around within the nation as separate territories. Murdock feared a people not under his control and spread the lie among all the people that the Dragonborns would sell them back to the Emerald King. That they were a threat to unity and peace. Murdok’s ten thousand’s fear of slavery, the Elves fear of destruction of their nature, and the Dwarves fear of loss of precious stone fed the lie until all were willing to raid peaceful Dragonborn camps without discussion with its people or warning. Killing many and driving them North from the South. The battle continued until it reached the mountains of Veyrin where an estimated population of 40 Dragonborns destroyed a great army of 4000 pursuing soldiers within one day. Penlod was not a fighter but there was a tale of the God’s of the Dragon’s ending this internal war. With the Dragonborn number so few by this point Murdok completed his kingdom preparation of clearing out most of the internal lands and began building up his army and empire.
- In time the technology his fellow slaves produced convinced and replaced the olden ways of many elves who found lives of leisure. They were attracted to the life within cities and the affluence it brought (elves being the primary land owners and richest) moved from their forests there. This is the fate of much of the south where elves sold their land as stock in trading to technology tycoons or unions who wished to rise on the economic ladder. There are a few noble elves in the north who have not forsaken their ways, maybe due to their resolve or maybe to the distance from these great and enticing cities.
- Merici is located just north of the capitol in what would be considered midland. Its land is fertile due to its location on the fork of Trinada (Felicia’s largest and longest river) and Trina (a river that forks off of Trinada. The land of Merici serves as basic training for the nation’s army and has been so since Murdok started the nation. Additionally Penlod collects monthly salary for the use of his land and pays no taxes for the past 350 years.
- Quarion’s Mother is unknown and left while he was very young. His father has never given him information other than that she ran away with a lot of money. Quarion has never seen his father leave the estate and does not believe he ever chased after her.
- North on Trinada is a small farming town known as Galdahon which supplies food to Merici for the army and Penlod. It is a different kind of Farm in that the Elvish owner Rog is direct descendant of the original owner (still alive) Yiren. The farm is known for its natural/druidic way of caring for the land and employs elves, half elves, and humans as equal owners of the estate. Some argue that its food is the best but many in a blind test cannot tell the difference.
- Quarion, still respectful towards his father, has asked to take leave to learn and experience the country in which he will inherit a keep. He has headed north and reaches Fingon’s Farm outside of Tribeck when the story starts.

This is it, the moment you have all been waiting for. An episode about bartering for services with NPC’s. Hey, that’s D&D for you. There are also some quick and simple homebrew games to simulate an eating contest and tree climbing event, though they weren’t as entertaining as i had hoped since not many of the players wanted to partake in them.
Flank us in the normal places. I’ll be here using a total defense action or in 5E I guess that would be Dodge…maybe I should be ready to use a Help action instead…but that would require someone adjacent to me.
Shout out to Zaran Black for his kind review on iTunes. Thanks to all those who are helping to support the podcast by telling others and listening in each week.

We did our best to talk about some of the changes between Rogues in Pathfinder and Dungeons and Dragons Next or 5th Edition. The majority of the complexity in Dungeons and Dragons in my experience has been learning the characters and their abilities so we had a lot of mid recording research to make sure we were getting our facts straight.
Anything to add or any corrections? Send them to contact@pathlesspod.com and we will share them with others in the next available episode so we can all grow in the knowledge and fun of these two play systems.

Our rather level headed party takes their time to leave town with the newly freed, prisoner of werewolves, Mytha Light. Ultimately they give her what she wants and accept the plot hook desperately thrown at them by the DM, but before doing so they:stop by work to give notice, notify the authorities of the going ons that they experienced, discuss purchase of farm animals, and check out a book on Dad jokes at the local library.
As always enjoy and feel free to comment on the episodes on the website.

For those who are tuning in for the first time, this is our Pathfinder campaign that allows us to keep to our roots, and really experience the differences between 5E and Pathfinder. We take it a whole lot less seriously as far as production quality, and I try to encourage everyone to let loose a little. These publish less frequently as compared to our 5E campaign, sorry for the wait. Play the episode for a quick recap.
Also I love the end of this episode…enjoy.

Tavern Talk – A Level Up in 5E
Wed, 11 Feb 2015 06:45:41 +0000
Matt, who plays Baybreeze in our 5E Campaign, got to level up his rouge for the first time in 5E. Unsure of exactly what was involved to do so, and wanting to share in the experience with a friend; we connected online between sessions and talked it through.
Hope you enjoy, please keep in mind that this was a beta of sorts in recording online, and I apologize that I recorded my audio from inside a soviet nuclear submarine.
Sun, 08 Feb 2015 18:00:16 +0000
The party struggles to not allow outside game knowledge effect in game knowledge as they quickly identify and kill the prison guard and then proceed to attempt to kill some of the helpless prisoners, *sigh* only in D&D. Listen in and you may find that you would have made the decision too if it was your gaming group. There is some science experiments and cadavers at Unity in store. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for those who have rated and reviewed, feel free to reach out with your thoughts and comments at contact@pathlesspod.com.
Tavern Talk – Barbarians in 5E
Wed, 04 Feb 2015 06:42:25 +0000
We had talked about separating the tavern talks from the main episodes for ease of download for listeners who were looking for more rules content then story content. The prior two (or three tavern talks) are lost somewhere at the end of Lightlessness’ episodes (The 5E main season) 1,2, and 3. Fear if you must that I lack continuity or struggle with Dissociative Identity Disorder from the changes, enjoy if you can the content that we work to provide you.
Oh yeah, the episode is about changes between 5th edition and Pathfinder Barbarians.
Sun, 01 Feb 2015 10:00:22 +0000
Roll some initiative for roleplaying. There is much for the character’s to do and learn and where better to learn than an university? You will see the dramatic climax of the broken elevator, then have your heart broken by the romantic tension between Quarian and a certain Astronomy Professor, and finally be outraged when Notch illegally uses his in game powers to get closer to Quarian’s girl.
Real happy with the audio quality on this one, because I always focus too much on the technical and I’m sure no one else cares. Tune in next week to hear about a contest we are doing in a desperate plea to get more iTunes reviews and feedback (Don’t let this discourage you from providing feedback and reviews now…they will be grandfathered in.)
Comment here! on the episode.

The Story continues as our adventures explore deeper into the forge and the heart of education in the country of Felicia. We will be posting Lightlessness for two more weeks and then publishing another Pumpkin Spice Episode. Don’t like it? Well let us know. We are literally available to communicate with in five different methods.
We have removed Tavern Talk out from this episode and will be releasing it as a download later. We plan on doing all Tavern Talks like this in the future.

Thanks for tuning in you D&D loving people. Love Your DM, Ben.

Though it isn’t always what we planned or imagined the podcast is trucking along. I prefer to think it is organically growing. Fact is this is another episode of a couple goons, and a joker, getting together to play the best game on the planet…no matter what edition. Hope you like it, and hope you chime in with your two cents. Otherwise we are just going to make decisions for you, and that makes us uncomfortable.
The Technical
We are trying to use a consistent opening across all the episodes, so we went back to our original opening from last week. Hopefully everyone is happy with the editing: I believe I have it at a good point compared to where we came from and in relation to a couple other podcasts I listen to.
This Week’s Episode
The players leave Luca’s, their spell-casting artisan friend, figure out where they are going, meet a monk in the ocean, and deliver mail! Enjoy!

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!

We find our Adventurers united as a team working to investigate what is attacking the farm of an Elf named Fingon Meriwind. The members spend their free time drinking, pursuing personal agendas concerning their background, and balancing their adventuring life with a full time job.
Our Mic is still malfunctioning at the start of the recording so we are using the prerecorded welcome to pathless podcast and the same welcome to Tavern Talk as last time.
I know these episodes are long. Let us know if you’d rather we split Tavern Talks into separate episodes. Feel free to share it with a friend. We love just playing, but hope we can entertain a few as well.
Tavern Talk starts at 1:09:20 where we discuss combat in 5E compared to Pathfinder including movement, actions in combat, attacks of opportunity, flanking, and CR.

The start of an adventure…is always a bit rough. Getting players together, playing a new edition with new rules. So we spend a lot of time roleplaying and laughing. When we recorded this I actually was really sick and out of it with a fever and swollen throat so though I pushed through there are a lot of pauses as my brain catches up to my mouth.
Additionally we lost our opening audio for one reason or another so my wife filled in the missing piece since my throat felt swollen shut.
Enjoy the story’s beginning. Feel free to reach out to us via contact@pathlesspod.com or any other social media.
We’ve added Tavern Talk which is after the play session discussing 5E as it compares with Pathfinder. This episode’s topic is about making characters and what parts they’re comprised of in each edition.

Ep. 0 Home is a Friendly Introduction

Hurrah! The first season is starting and opens with my unedited, uncomfortable intro where I say exactly what’s on my mind related to our first season of the show, and first campaign in 5th Edition D&D…even if it is not proper English or may come off the wrong way. I’m sure a post with mindless run on sentences will go well with it and when the players listen I’ll likely get picked on, but that’s the joy of putting yourself on the internet. I hope you’ll listen, but here’s the overview:
- Opening Music
- Intro by Ben the DM
- Character Intro by Sam playing Tiefling Warlock Notch Stern
- Character Intro by Matt playing Gnome Rouge Wimble “Baybreeze” Korren
- Character Intro by Jeremy playing Dragonborn Barbarian Morva
- Character Intro by Reid playing High Elf Wizard Quarion Xiloscient
- Outro by Ben
- Closing Music
- Ben did not listen to this mp3 on his phone before uploading to the media server…which he always does because he doesn’t trust audacity. So let’s hope I rolled high in my craft audio file check.
Next week’s episode barring any catastrophes will be the new campaign for those wondering. Also we post every Sunday, sometimes late because my baby won’t fall asleep so I can’t start editing till 10 p.m.

The long awaited part three of the Pumpkin Spice Campaign is now available. I’m sure you were all wondering what happened next to our hapless adventures who just entered a nest of thieves. Well I hope you were. This is the last beta(played in pathfinder) before our final product, but stay tuned on the blog for some character Bios for our DnD 5E adventure. I’m not sure if we will have the content ready by next sunday to publish the first episode, but if not I’ll be sure to bring you guys something, maybe a world overview or something akin to that.
Editing notes:
- The editing process is nailed down and right in time for the season to kick off
- Lots of cut silence, some chip crunches removed and any other major annoyances taken out. This may make one or two parts sound a bit choppy at normal speed play back but it had to be done.
- Left the cat meowing in
- Some treble and bass and silencers over the whole track as well as the standard normalization and amplification because DM Sam tends to be soft spoken at times.

So yes, more or less these betas are just fillers (unless you’re enjoying them). We haven’t gotten together yet to record the 1st season and obviously want to have a lot of content before we start producing season one to ensure a steady, weekly release schedule. I bring this up at the end of the episode, but I tried and I tried to get rid of the kettle chip crunching during many parts of the episode. Of course I was hungry and we had already recorded like six hours of content so I was getting lazy about keeping the recordings professional. If you really hold out until the end of the episode you’ll get another treat: which may be highly unwanted if you’ve been driving for a long time and will be stuck in the car for a while longer. Thanks for listening. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any feedback.
Editing notes:
- Amplified more than ever trying to get that nice volume, which led to some crackling/clipping audio
- Lots of noise removal to remove chip bag noises, tapping, chewing, breathing: all that natural crap which you may have really wanted to hear, but won’t…most of the time.
- dice rolls muted or diminished
- long silences and some unnecessary content cut

It’s time for another beta. Why not just start the show you might ask? Well, it’s because we recorded all of these betas using similar techniques and have found that our recording and editing techniques require a lot of fine-tuning. This episode we tried keeping it in stereo instead of mono without changing most of the editing from the previous Beta. Honestly, the less editing the better for us so hopefully when our first season kicks off at the end of December/early January we will have this all figured out.
The bad news is that the one change to editing is how I handled dice rolls, so get ready for them to be a bit louder. I also tried to increase the audio a bit in general for those who have been having problems hearing in our last two episodes; on headphones when editing everything sounds louder than it does after being exported and played in my car.
We hope you enjoy this episode! Here’s a link for the website for those who are reading this through the RSS feed and want to leave comments on this episode or just look around.
