Hi everyone,
I wish I had the time and the skill to write longer journals of some of the groups I played in. However, I can still provide links to the campaign journals which I think are just great.
1.
Oakspar77777's description of his campaigns (over at the WotC forums)
This includes a journal on a 1-on-1 game with his girlfriend to introduce her to D&D. Apart from being a very nice read, it also contains a wonderful guide on how to play the game with complete beginners.
Something even better is a camaign journal on a zombie campaign of his (started stylishly enough on halloween iirc). Highly thrilling and entertaining read!
2.
Saph's campaign journal of the Red Hand of Doom (over at GitP)
Probably the best campaign journal/DMing advice on the Red Hand of Doom campaign out there, including some comical highlights (I am still laughing about the one where the group mis-teleports and gets into the stratosphere, alongside the druid's dire wolf animal companion, which just goes "woof?" when everyone then falls down to the earth again.)
Another good thing in there for DMs is to see some experiences on the vulnerabilities and powers of character classes (levels 5-10 iirc).
3.
The test of spite "monkening" started by Doc Roc, and DMed by Saph (over at GitP; a very short part two of it is
here)
Actually, at least here is one thread where I at least contributed (playing a monk). This is not a real campaign journal with all the fluff, but rather a test thread on how the monk performs in a group (core rules, level 12) in a series of special dungeon challenges. It may also offer some hints as to how combat can play out in such an environment.
There was also a
discussion thread on that test game.
Needless to say that the test was interpreted quite differently, depending on those thinking the monk class is any good and those who do not
Will update this list when I come across other threads not part of this forum.
