Second Darkness – Episode 69
The quest to disable the powerful focus glyphs of protection continue as the Guardians of Golarion delve deeper into the Land of Black Blood. But what of the large metallic “egg” that they recovered from the Abyss? What kind of creature could be locked inside such a device, and do they dare open it?
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the next glyph is nestled away in the not-so-scenic Hanging Forest, protected by a creature infused with the black blood of the land itself. Can the Guardians defeat the mighty Moldering Emperor and deactivate yet another glyph, getting them one step closer to the final showdown with the mad drow Lasdolon?

Second Darkness – Episode 65
Apologies for the lack of updates on my Pathfinder campaign, Second Darkness. We have been meeting in person once again. The remote sessions have been fine, but nothing beats playing in person. The chemistry can’t be beat.
That being said, we are entering the final book of Second Darkness – Descent into Midnight! The Guardians of Golarion must now enter the Darklands to save not only the elven kingdom of Kyonin, but all of reality!

Second Darkness – Episode 58
It appeared that the Guardians of Golarion had achieved a victory of sorts by destroying the remaining dragon shard of Zalatas. However, while they did alter the visions shown by the Readers of Minas Amer, the disaster seemed to now be focused on a single city – Iadara, the elven capital of Kyonin.

The Importance of a Session Zero
I recently began conversations with my Pathfinder group regarding our next campaign. We’re currently flying through Book Five of our Second Darkness campaign, and with the sixth and final book just around the corner I thought it was time to get a feel for what they wanted to play next. Nobody wanted any extended downtime between Second Darkness and whatever would come next. That meant I’d have to start preparing, or at least reading through the books of whatever Adventure Path we chose to play.
But even with everybody prepared, when we sit down to play our new campaign I still intend on having a Session Zero. I feel that session zeros are important to help the players and the GM establish things, and really set the expectations for what comes next.
Jason Bulmahn, Game Designer for Paizo, recently sat down and discussed the importance of having a session zero, and why it is important for both players and the game master. Now I’m barely literate and nowhere near as articulate as a seasoned game designer, so I encourage you to check out the video below and see just what Mr. Bulmahn has to say on the topic.
