Chicago: Age of Serpents
Hi my name is Jim and this is our Pathfinder campaign, Age of Serpents!
Though we are not looking for new players at the moment, we certainly appreciate visitors. I'm no graphic designer, but I'm really proud of how the image map turned out and the site styling in general. Also, I have a capital group of players who are having a ton of fun making their own legend in this highly customized version of the Serpen't Skull adventure path. Hope you enjoy the site!

Great look, especially the landing page!
Just trying to help out.
Thanks! I'm working on a new wiki page index as we speak :)
Edit! Finished it. I based it on the Table of Contents page in an old issue of "Jungle Stories" from 1948.I also feed on praise like peanut M&Ms.

Not entirely satisfied with their role in the outcome of the war for Black Widow Bluff, the heroes nevertheless agree to a well-deserved feast in their honor. Secrets and intrigues are whispered among the guests and hosts, but will a certain party crasher assure the festivities get really loud?

House of the Hive Queen!
An amazing eldritch discovery awaits our heroes in the unexplored dark of the Hive Queen’s chambers, but someone abandons the group! Can the heroes salvage the web-strewn secrets before the demons that vex them tear them further apart?

With a growing pile of treasure collected after just a few days, base camp security becomes an issue, while some are loathe to let any of their fellow castaways fend for themselves. The heroes strike south on the trail of Sasha Nevah, but is the reckless teenaged assassin worth the trouble that always follows her?

Having agreed to a queue of favors for their fellow survivors, the questing castaways trek southeast along the Shiv’s shipwreck-strewn strand. A fortuitous find makes their future path clear, but will their determination to make good on a promise to Jask condemn them to an early grave?

Nemanji arrives in time as Dornas takes a fall and the Castaways brace themselves for a protracted battle on the slippery rocks. The skeleton crew and their undead commander prove surprisingly coordinated and resilient. While dead men tell no tales, will the wreck’s treasures expose the heart of the Demon’s?

Home Wrecked!
This is the true story… of ten strangers… marooned on a desert island… take on the jungle and move into a cramped shipwreck… to find out what happens… when adventurers stop being polite… and start getting real…?

Just in time to be late for Halloween, a very spooky special edition of Age of Serpents!
Shiver Me Timbers!The castaways are split into two groups that both face monstrous threats, but can these isolated menaces each be blessings in disguise? And when a spirit from the past comes fluttering back from the grave for revenge, will our heroes let Likki pay the ultimate price?

Episode 16, Airdate 11/10/16
Path of Redemption!Resolving to confront the cannibal Thrunefangs, the heroes ascend the path less traveled. But can the human tribe possibly as bad as they’ve heard? New friends are made with unlikely accommodations; and when it’s time for Likki to duel Pollock to settle their tribal vendetta, will just deserts be given or received?
~ JIM,

Food of the Gods!
The Castaways meet the so-called Spirit of the Island, but in the ancient being’s presence, not all are humble. Is the price for her succor worth the trouble? And when predators of land, sea, and air challenge their every step, will the quarrelsome explorers finally learn to trust one another?
If you drop by our campaign page, don't hesitate to leave us a comment! :D

Another Castaway from the Jenivere reveals his presence in time to join the expedition to the fungus-covered Isle of Never Going There. But how has this amnesic managed to avoid detection from several highly-skilled trackers? What grim discovery sets off an urgent series of events leading to the climax of Smuggler’s Shiv?
If you visit the page, please leave a comment or two! Thanks! :)

The party press their attack against the gray islet’s fungus-men, and uncover damning signs of the doom that fell upon Aerys, Sasha, and Gelik. Faced with a ticking clock, will our heroes rescue their friends before the fiendish infection consumes them?

Toxic Reactions!
The Castaways divide their forces on the deck of the Nightvoice, and face a horde emboldened by the Abyss itself. By the time our heroes reach the hostages they’re determined to rescue, whose lines will be broken, the fiendish fungoids’, or their own?

Destiny’s Hinges!
In the fungal caverns beneath the Isle of Never Going There, we discover whether or not our heroes have what it takes to challenge a god! Legends are made, but when struck close to home, will they be made of triumph or tragedy?

Stealth fails the Castaways’ valiant attempt to silently spirit Jask away from the barbaric cannibals. With their backs to a cliff and a bloodthirsty horde arrayed against them, a strategic withdrawal takes its toll in lives. When the last blade falls, who will emerge from the killing fields the masters of Smuggler's Shiv?

In the subterranean domain of Mama Thrunefang, the cannibal tribe’s ancient dead prove hungrier than their living descendants! The Castaways’ search for the answers that have eluded them thus far concludes with a momentous discovery! But in resolving a mystery, have our heroes merely become the only ones aware of a very big problem?
~ JIM,
Campaign of the Month, September 2016
A cathedral to the Father of Serpents! A shrine older than humankind! Our heroes surrounded by the prehistoric dead! Beneath the rapacious eyes of the Headless King, who will draw first blood in this declaration of war?
If you haven't dropped by in a while, now's a good time! All side quests are completed as far as my players are concerned and that means Season 1 is on its last arc. Also, tidied things up a bit, blew dust off some of the pics and blew more dust on some others, and put a maybe? NSFW gif on the landing page to encourage visitor comments.
Check it out, and remember Age of Serpents for Campaign of the Year!

Two for the price of none! As always, comments are welcome and appreciated!!!!! ;D
Unfinished Business!Following their hard fought battle for the occult revelations contained in Ydersius’s cathedral, the party are confronted by the despicable Mamma Thrunefang! Will the cannibal priestess induct our heroes into her court of hungering dead? Should they win the day, will the the Castaways be too late to prevent Ieana’s evil plans?
In Darkened Storm or Sunlight Glare!
The party set out from Aycenia’s grove to face Ieana at Red Mountain, leaving their allies to reflect on the people that the Shiv has shaped into heroes. Having all but tamed the jungle island, one ferocious foe remains in between the Castaways and their quarry. Will this Devil finally receive his due?

I am still loving this campaign- anyone that has not checked it out really should!!
Just trying to help out.
Thanks, abu you're awesome!
Also, going into season 2 we are looking for a new player. We play at my place in Chicago on the west side of the city every Tuesday or Thursday, with a break every three or 4 weeks. We need someone to replace Nemanji, unfortunately, who has moved away. Tactically, he was the group's main switch-hit damage dealer, and fulfilled a vital pulp jungle trope role as savage native type.
If anyone is interested, drop me a line and we can work on ideas. We've had a lot of interest online but only need one person, so please please don't be too hurt if we go with one person over another. Thanks a bunch!!

Blood in the Water!
Springing sharks! Mephit pranks! Ancient ceremonies, murderous moppets, undead serpentmen, AND the hands of a god? For our heroes, it’s all in a day’s work! But will the benighted terrors of Zura’s Sanguine Sanctorum force the Castaways to clock out before their job is done?

Episode 30, Airdate 04/20/17
Rolling Snake Eyes!
The blood-soaked season finale! As the Castaways close in on the serpentine Ieana, they are ambushed by a ferocious old ally. Will that feral figure prove to be the deciding factor in the fateful, final fight between our heroes and their ophidian foe? What astonishing mystery — chiseled throughout the ancient vampire cult’s chapel — lies behind the serpentine woman’s sinister plots?

I really dig Age of Serpents, I can't believe I had never favorited it until now!
