Hello playgrounder, I'm a longtime lurker on the forum and I recently got the urge to read some campaigne journal.

I found a few, most notably this blog (http://criticalanklebites.com/) and the excerpts on this site (http://agc.deskslave.org/) plus a few other.

But my google-fu seem to be weak because I coulnd't find anymore.

So i respectfully ask for your help, I particulary like the style of agc "D&D excpert" which give more info on what happen a the table instead of what happen in the gameworld. If you have found anything in that style I'l be very grateful.

In advance thank you very much.

ps: I hope i'm in the right forum, if not my apologie to the moderator.
pss:Sorry for my grammar, english isn't my native tongue.

My favorite campaign journal is this one (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=471897) posted on the Wizards of the Coast forums. It follows a couple of campaigns:
A one-on-one campaign between the OP and his girlfriend which focuses on the nitty-gritty of one-on-one campaigns and introducing neophytes to the game.
A horror/action zombie apocalypse campaign the OP ran as a Holloween special. The discussion centered on the mechanics of a zombie campaign and what is needed to represent this genre in D&D.
A homebrew campaign which saw the OP developing a new campaign world, homebrewing a magic system, and running a campaign in the new world.
[shameless plug]Also, I'm currently keeping a campaign journal here in this forum of a zombie apocalypse campaign I'm running with my gaming group. The link is in my sig if you're interested. The journal posts themselves are rather heavily in-character, but most of the surrounding discussion focuses on game design and at-the-table issues.[/shameless plug]

Edit: There's also this thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94243) posted by Saph here on Giantitp. I've only skimmed the first few posts and it seems like it's most useful if you're familiar with the module being run, but it seems interesting.

Hope that helps. Happy reading!

Cue SilverClawShift's epic campaign journal? I'm sorry, but I don't have the link myself.

Hmmnn. Whilst off the top of my head, I cannot recommend any D20/3e campaign journals that have not so far been mentioned, there are a lot of campaign journals for B/AD&D stored at Dragonsfoot (http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=26). Might not be what you want, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

If you're looking for a LONG campaign journal, check out Caligula's Red Hand of Doom - Total Recap! (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=642066) from the WotC forums. He changes several things and it's by no means right by the books, but it's probably one of my favorite journals/recaps (and also the longest, at something like 1425 posts!).
