As I was planning my blogging week I realized that I had a running theme going on. So much so that I decided to make it official!
Since I’m planning the end of my D&D 3.5 campaign in the next 3 months, I decided to spend the week dealing with endings of all kinds:
- Today’s post was about the ending of the 1st Pathfinder Adventure Path.
- I’ll tackle a trope post on endings of the catastrophic kind
- I’ll write a post about ending an adventure arc or a campaign
- My adventure prep post will deal with how I plan to end mine.
- And I plan to start a series on transitioning from D&D 3.5 to 4e as my whole group agreed to make the jump.
- etc (I’m open to in-theme suggestions)
So stay tuned, this will be the beginning of many ends!
This is the end…
my only friend, the end…
I have the feeling this is a subject that is weighing on many DM’s minds right now with the coming of 4e. I’m certainly thinking about it, and wondering if I’ll be able to get the players up a few levels in time to do the ending I want.
Me, I love writing endings to campaigns. I’d list it as one of my favorite things about DMing, even.
Especially looking forward to your thoughts on switching to 4E. Looks like I’m switching too.
I just had a thought. What if the campaign ended badly? What if the villains won and the PCs lost? Could be a great hook for my next campaign.

Got it Trask… I’ll definitively cover this! Thanks!
Well, he actually covered it here. Have a look!
Midnight is a great campaign setting built on that concept.
I am a fan of Fantasy Flight Games board games. I did not realize they had RPG products. I will check it out.
