Obsidian Portal Campaign of the Month September 2020 – Star Wars – Das Erbe der Jedi-Ritter

“Star Wars – Das Erbe der Jedi-Ritter: Eine Chronik aus der New Jedi Order” (which is German for “The Legacy of the Jedi Knights: A Chronicle from the New Jedi Order”) is a long-running, beautifully-made campaign by Grand_Master_Steve, using the d20 Revised Star Wars rules set. Spanning a generation of time in the game world and a decade and a half in ours, it is the very definition of an epic tale. Draw your lightsabers, fellow Jedi – it’s time to face your destiny, an alien foe from beyond our galaxy, and a story of a long-lasting friendship that began long, long ago.

Obsidian Portal Campaign of the Month August 2020 – In Search of Hidden Dragons

Treasure hunters, take heed! For this month, we investigate the glittering secrets of Waterdeep and the beautiful 5th Edition D&D campaign, In Search of Hidden Dragons by philip_andrew_stevens. Along our journey, we shall find a Mind Map, an old-school initiative trick, and the greatest treasure of all – weaving a story with family and friends. So, take a seat upon that tavern bench and listen to the tale of lost gold and a father’s gift to his girls.

Obsidian Portal Campaign of the Month July 2020 – The Verge

In the 25th Century, humankind has spread into the vast darkness of space, colonizing the custom-made worlds of The Verge – July’s Campaign of the Month! This homebrew setting, run by RigilKent and co-created by one of his Players employs a modified version of Mongoose’s Traveller 2nd Edition to explore the cosmic dangers of space, the convoluted politics of clashing factions within the Moros system, the inevitability of war, and the cold mathematics of a galaxy not meant for human (or alien) survival. If you’re ready, Downsider, it’s time to fold out and explore The Black, but beware… she is a harsh mistress.

Update Post – June 25, 2020

Hey Obsidian Portal Community.

It’s time for another update post! Last time around, we had a span of two months between updates. This time, it has been about three. I’m still looking to find that “sweet spot”, and three is kind of feeling right at the moment. There’s something about the idea of an OP “quarterly report” (of sorts) that I like, so I may stick with that going forward.

That said, if you have any comments regarding the update schedule, please feel free to let me know. These update posts are for you guys, so if you want them more or less frequently, I’m all ears. Anyway, let’s get into it!
