Campaign of the Year Award - The Dice Goblet

Campaign of the Year Award - The Dice Goblet

The Spelljoined won Campaign of the Month last April on Obsidian Portal. That means we are in the running for Campaign of the Year, and voting ends on the 31st!

Being a bit of a narcissist I would love to win this purely for my own egotistic satisfaction, however there is more than that in the equation. You see, we have two brand new game artists on our team and their imagery is what really brings it all to life. Just read through the Journals and you’ll see some amazing illustration as well as some truly entertaining writing.

As the DM I am the overall architect of their fate, but as you can see from the journals we have hit on a really good streak of gaming at it’s best – collaborative storytelling. Even if my rules design doesn’t grab you their art and the fiction they’ve produced most assuredly will.

Check them out our artists’ galleries on Deviant Art:

  • RavenKin did our logo and the more Manga looking artwork while
  • Syreene did the majority of the illustrations found here and on Obsidian Portal.

It would be a great kick in the pants to see them get this sort of recognition.

Vote Here for The Spelljoined because we would all really appreciate it!

 

Thanks,

Planejammer- The Spelljoined Campaign of the Month on Obsidian Portal April 2011

Posted by on Apr 9, 2011 in Announcements, Obsidian Portal, Planejammer Campaigns, The Spelljoined | 0 comments

Campaign of the MonthToday we bring to you guys, a truly awesome showcase of campaign depth and intricacy. The very dedicated and friendly DungeonMasterLoki shares with us a bit about his game, his players and gives us some sound advice. The Spelljoined campaign has been going on since before some of us were born! So ‘ave a seat cutter, and stop rattlin’ your bone box for a just minute and park your ears right here!

So begins the blog post which announces our status as the feature Campaign for the entire month of April on Obsidian Portal! I can’t thank our contributing players, artists, and writers of crunch enough. You are all brilliant!

So rest assured that there is still a lot to go up on the Campaign wiki, we’re talking 30 years of setting development here. I’m slowly getting The Seven Stars and The Misfits formatted and online.

Additionally, all of the campaign journals, rules  and such are undergoing a full migration to Obsidian Portal. This website will be transitioning to general RPG news and updates on the forthcoming line of pdf supplements we are working in for Pathfinder.

So here they are, the last three campaigns of the Planejammer series in various states of construction:

The Spelljoined (current) | The Misfits | The Seven Stars
