Issue Descriptions

October 6, 2008; Iridia No. 80; D&D 3.5
My D&D 3.5 campaign rolls merrily along. The characters are entering the 5th level of experience, so battles are starting to get really interesting. To ease myself back into my zine duties, I thought I'd share a few maps with you from our recent adventures. There are a couple of asteroid maps (map 1, map 2) from a Spelljamming inspired adventured. There's also a cavern teeming with nasty ghouls. Enjoy!

Sorry, folks. No podcast this week...

September 1, 2008; Iridia No. 79; GURPS 4e
Inspired by some nifty little robot miniatures I saw at Reaper, I decided to push one of the GURPS storylines forward. In Iridia 11 and 62 I detailed a few runaway robots. In this week's installment, a mysterious man in a black suit arrives to follow up on one of the robot's destruction.

GURPS campaigns have a tendency to get a little, well, weird. Years back I ran a fantasy campaign that eventually succumbed to madness. It was great fun. This issue presents the three PCs who innocently struck out to earn fame and fortune. While they did find those things, they also encountered clones, aliens, mecha and goblin radish farmers.
