Sorry for possibly raising the thread in necro, but I hope it is worth it. I started the thread a few months ago, but got caught up with RL issues, to keep updating it sufficiently. However, I may have a bit more time in the next month or so, so if anyone wants to ad up his journals to the archive, please let me know! Info on the opening post.

[Kid Jake]

That reminds me, my M&M game and my Shadowrun game have both wrapped up now if you want to mark them as completed.

Sorry about this. Please use this link instead for my campaign journal. I'm rewriting them in an easier to read format. :)

Jon_Dahl's Red Hand of Doom's journal added. It's quite unique amongst such journals, with the party failing to achieve the goals all along the way. An interesting read!

[curious-puzzle]

If you wouldn't mind adding my new journal, please?

The Curse of Artaith
Author: curious-puzzle
Genre: Somewhat dark fantasy
System: 3.5
Setting: Homebrew setting with heavy Dark Souls / Bloodborne vibe
Point of view: Mostly Gm and 3rd person, might have some other schtuff
Description: Our heroes have been trapped in the land of Artaith, a dying world where even the soul seems to erode. They must fight to find a way home, and to survive with their minds and souls intact
Main features:Heavily inspired/influenced by the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games, I'm aiming for harsh combat (and especially brutal "boss fights"), lots of mysteries to search out and discover (both story-wise/plot-wise and locations/things), and what sorts of things can happen in a world where immortality can be gained at the cost of identity and morality
Status: Incomplete, we play every 2nd saturday

Done and done!

[JenBurdoo]

Here's mine:

Queen's Own Troubleshooters ("Find trouble, and shoot it.") - A rookie XD20 campaign
Author: JenBurdoo
Genre: Mildly comedic fantasy
System: Homebrewed rules-lite - mostly this XD20 variant, with bits and pieces from KODT, Microlite D20, D&D 3rd and 5th, and Dark Heresy
Setting: The generic fantasy realm of Redwater, and nearby regions
Point of view: Assorted NPCs, in-character
Description: A very mixed group of inexperienced adventurers whose rookie players have no idea what to expect, in the world of a rookie DM who is desperately scrambling to keep ahead of them.
Main features: Complete beginners to RPGs are allowed to be ridiculous creative with their characters and actions. Extremely rules-lite system allows weird and fun things to happen. DM exercises more creativity writing up the sessions than she does planning them.
Status: Incomplete, seven sessions in, updating roughly once per week.

[Kol Korran]

JenBurdoo, I added your log! Keep them reports about those strange troubleshooters coming!

[Nibbens]

City of Progress Campaign Journal is currently (and finally) caught up and revised from it's original incarnation.

New Features: All the chapters are on one forum instead of 19 separate forums... Yeah, that's it.

Nevertheless - I'm finally up to 19 chapters and we'll be up to 20 after tonight. I'll have the new write up in a few days!

Thanks!

Edit: I'm now up to 20 chapters.

[Nibbens]

Campaign Log: City of Progress is now up to Session 2! Whoot!

aaaand, sorry about the double post. :/

Edit:

Welp, now it's up to 22. :D

[Anxe]

Been about 10 sessions since my entry was put up and the dynamic of the campaign has changed significantly. Updated entry!

Xorian Wars: Alliance and Rebellion
Author: Anxe
Genre: High Fantasy
System: D&D 3.5
Setting: Homebrew setting based off the Greek myths. Physically placed in an imagined geography east of the Black Sea, an area the Greeks called Cimmeria.
Point of view: 3rd person with occasional GM insights.
Description: The Xorians are expanding into the sovereign city-states of Cimmeria. They are ruled by the Dragovinians, a race of draconic vampires. The Dragovinians worship their creator, the living god Blendegad the Reaper, and their living firstborn, King Jevaninada the Second. The eastern city-states of Cimmeria formed an Alliance against Xoria, but they are on the retreat. The Reaper's minions successfully stormed the defended city of Phoenix. The cities of Eastern Cimmeria quake in fear at the power of the Empire. It is November and the Alliance must rise from the ashes and continue resisting the Xorians.
The campaign follows two parties of adventurers. One, a low level band of Dragovinians returned to their mortal status with amnesia. They now work for the Rebellion in Xoria to find the pieces of a lost prophecy. This prophecy could hold the key to defeating Blendegad. The low level band have completed their mission and further sessions following their group have been discontinued.
The other party of adventurers are a high level bunch that once associated with the Alliance opposing Xoria. They have since split off to form their own group that is following vague prophecies to fight the Xorians on their own.
Main features: First of all, the campaign is split into two different parts. A low level campaign and a high level campaign. The two campaigns occasionally cross over between each other. The campaign is heavily grounded in the Greek mythos making many elements of it recognizable to a Western reader. There is plenty of political intrigue and a few sessions have no combat at all due to this. I've started attaching an illustration to every session log. When combat happens it heats up pretty quick. The PCs just reached epic levels, so we'll see even more exciting stuff going forward!
Status: Incomplete - 65 sessions as of this posting (13 Rebellion sessions, 49 Alliance sessions, and 3 Combo sessions). Sessions happen an average of once a month.

Nibbens and Anxe- Entries updated!

I should look again for new interesting campaign logs, I've been a bit away from the forums for a while... If anyone wants to suggest a good log, not already mentioned here, please do!

[blacklight101]

Not sure I can suggest anything other than this thread getting a sticky. It should be easy for us forumites to find and add to after that.

Hm... maybe Bloody Crown (totally stumbled on this one more than a year ago, cant stop reading it) being run by LCP or any of his others. Though, it is on this forum already...

[Lappy9001]

Thanks again for keeping up with this thread Kol Korran.

Also, if you don't mind updating it, The Endless Sky is up to 21 entries now.

[Nibbens]

Hey Kol, another update for the archive! I'm up to 24.

Thanks!

[Kid Jake]

I've got a new campaign to add as well:

"Desperate Men, Desperate Measures"

Author: Kid Jake
Genre: Sci-Fi
System: Star Wars Saga Edition
Setting: Star Wars, Rebellion Era
Point of view: 3rd Person, some GM commentary.
Description: A treasure trove of Clone War surplus has been discovered on a backwater planet barely in recorded space, more than enough to make any man that captures it a major player in the interplanetary underworld. Too bad for the unlucky saps sent to recover the planet's riches that its most valuable treasure turns out to be a scheming AI that wants to impose its will on the universe.
Main Features: Everything wants to kill them. Everything. The crime boss that trapped them here. The droid army they unleashed. The horrible jungle life. Even the weather seems determined to watch these people die.
Status: Ongoing and incomplete.

[Debatra]

Adventures in Vistora (AKA "Go Team Dumbass")
Author: Debatra
Genre: Fantasy/Humor
System: D&D 3.5e, with a few elements from other systems (like being Bloodied)
Setting: Custom setting of the DM's design
Point of view: Player, out of character, 3rd person
Description: What starts with a group of (evidently not-too-bright) tavern owners/mercenaries being sent to deliver a letter to an Orc chief turns into an interplanar war for their homeland.
Main features: Game contains a Truenamer (who went into it fully aware of the class's "issues"). Critical success/failure on skill checks is in effect, leading to some interesting situations.
Status: Incomplete; game still in progress. Usually played weekly, with each session posted before the next game. Four sessions logged, with the fifth in progress at time of writing.

[Kol Korran]

Hey all:
# Nibbens: I don't update number of sessions every 1-2 updates. Just when a significant change has been made (say...5+ sessions). It's supposed to give the reader a general idea of the length of the log.

# Kid Jake: Added! Thanks!

#Debatra: Can you make the description a bit shorter? It's supposed to be short and concise, not the intro to the campaign. Also, if possible, not in a quote?

[turbo164]

Kyrpra Forest 3.5 (The Hydra Sermon and other tales)
Author: Turbo164
Genre: Fantasy (often comedic)
System: D&D 3.5
Setting: Homebrew
Point of view: Session summaries by GM, with some backstory/sidequest sections written by players
Description: A ragtag group of heroes seek adventure by saving some turnip farmers from bandits, only to stumble upon a nefarious plot involving demons, dragons, and horrific experiments. Many journeys are made through the Kyrpra forest, site of an epic mage war of centuries past where purple trees and crocodile-squirrels are the least of your worries. Puzzle-filled towers award grand prizes to those who overcome their challenges, and the enigmatic salesman Jack will happily offer a deal on your winnings...
Main features:
*DM Notes expand on design choices and how things often don't go as planned ^_^
*Usually light-hearted in tone, though some serious drama does occur.
*Large amounts of custom monsters and items.
*Creative players and a permissive DM.
Status: 61 sessions over 3 years, still ongoing.

[Kol Korran]

Added turbo164's Krypra Forest campaign log. (Go read it!)

And... with that addition, a single post for all the log was too long, so I moved all of the non fantasy journals into the post after it.

Hope you don't mind...

[Debatra]

#Debatra: Can you make the description a bit shorter? It's supposed to be short and concise, not the intro to the campaign. Also, if possible, not in a quote?

Sorry about that. Done.

[Kol Korran]

Added 2 logs:
- "Adventures in Vistora" (By Debatra).
- "We Be Best Goblins!" (By neversterling)- Following the Paizo module of the name. A humerous adventure!

[Dravda]

Well, I guess I'll add my two cents to this pile.

Red Hand of Doom is Still Cool, Right?
Author: Dravda
Genre: Fantasy
System: Pathfinder
Setting: The Elsir Vale
Point of view: DM
Description: Those crazy hobgoblins are at it again...
Main features: Retreading a classic for our first foray into a new system.
Status: Incomplete, ongoing (11 sessions so far)
