I typically buy one or two adventures when a system first comes out to get a feel for the system and gain a better understanding of it's strength's and weaknesses. Unfortunately some publishers don't release solid adventures at time of release and this can make getting a handle on the system...

Speaking as someone who's played it since it's release - it's no board game that's for sure. There are a lot of components in the core game that are used to keep track of various changes in the game state - basically everything you would track with pen & paper in a standard RPG uses a component...

As a believer in simplicity I'd keep it simple (this has never actually come up in one of our games). I wouldn't get into subraces or non PC races. I'd do this so that the hybrid offspring can choose which of it's heritages to follow, and that would be the race it counts as.

I'm not interested in either WoTC or Paizo's offerings at this point (being a convert to the glories of Warhammer FRP 3e), but I thought I'd play devil's advocate. Whenever WoTC issues a cease and desist there is widespread outrage. Now that Paizo has issued a C&D they are just "protecting...

If this is true, then it seems to me that the OGL didn't work out so well for WOTC. I doubt they envisioned that they would be competing against what is essentially their own IP in the future. Pathfinder is still the relatively new kid on the block, you've got high sales as everyone checks...

You mean laying 6 feet under right? :p

Is this one table or multiple tables? Do you want just combat encounters or other things like slave caravans, finding an uncharted oasis, etc ? Weather in darksun is pretty straight forward is it not?; scorching hot or violent sandstorm are pretty much the options. I'd just make a huge...

Medium rare? Pork-chop? Good with BBQ sauce?

I'm about to start my second warhammer fantasy roleplay campaign(3e). I'm not an overly large fan of the setting though - so I'm homebrewing the setting. The mechanics divorce themselves from the setting quite nicely if you don't mind renaming a few of the careers and etc. I think my...

Thanks, seen it, a board game does not mage knight make, but I suppose it is a start. /end thread jack

Length of names is a good one - some may use 1 or two names, some might use 5, similarly other languages may use more characters in the names than others. I think finding whats important to the culture will lead to what the name is based on. Ie: The culture finds profession important - names...

Heroes of the past are reincarnated is the theme. So....... Why shouldn't the past be the invasion? Perhaps the returned heroes are the vanguard, sent to prepare the way for the others. They subtly work against the modern world, preparing the way for their fellows (perhaps modern technology...

Forget the paizo miniatures, bring back Mage Knight!

Years ago (during 2e) our GM had some guests sitting in with us and so (unbeknownst to us regulars) had the three of them make up a party of evil adventurers to oppose us. Since there were less of them they were ~ 1 level higher then us (They were about 2nd level, it was a fairly new campaign)...

Are you sure you played 3e D&D? That happens with regularity, I'm not sure why housecats aren't the dominant species in most campaigns.
