The Blue Shield of Defiance (BSoD) is a reboot of the now twice defunct Red Hand of Doom campaign. The most recent iteration of this campaign module was a Pathfinder adaptation. Despite the merits of the Pathfinder system, I’ve grown to dislike it, which is why the campaign stalled. To get things rolling again, I am reverting the campaign back to 3.5/3.P. The plot will continue from where we left off with some hand-waving for any character changes.
Although I don’t care for the Pathfinder system, it is still a valuable source of material. As such, Pathfinder classes and feats will be available to players with DM approval.
