This was the first issue of Dragon Magazine I ever bought, straight off the rack from a B. Dalton bookstore. Loved the thief-acrobat and I totally remember reading "Everybody Eats Everybody," with the picture of a little alien that looked like a cross between a rock and a Calgone scrubbing...

I love that book! Haven't re-read it recently, either, but I recall it having a rather deep theological proposition - that Hell functioned much like Purgatory, that those in Hell had the ability to leave at any time... once they recognized, accepted and repented for their sins. But those in...

I love Heroic Maps. I've printed a few on a regular printer and taped them together, and managed to print one on a large-format printer once, but my favorites are the one he has available as nice, think cardstock tiles. Absolutely beautiful. BTW - he's also got a Petreon going, where he does...

Thanks. And don't get me wrong - some look fine, really nice, even. But others - the werewolf, the pirate lady, the rhemoraz - lack detail and the paint looks blobby, too uniform in color, so almost cartoony. It always throws me when some sculpts/paints look good and others in the same set...

Why does the paint on WotC minis (whether you're talking about the old WotC-produced ones or the newer WizKids ones) always look gloppy?

Too bad. I supported both Kickstarters, got some nice limited-release Pathfinder books, maps and minis as rewards. I played Pathfinder Online for a while, had fun, but realized I'm more of a pen-and-paper guy myself. But I certainly don't feel ripped off or like the Goblinworks team failed...

I can't speak to all oversized weapons in Pathfinder art, but in the case Amiri (the iconic barbarian in the second picture above), there's actual backstory as to why her sword is oversized. It's a trophy from a frost giant she killed in revenge for the destruction of her village. If you look...

5 out of 5 rating for Kingmaker Adventure Path I GM'ed Kingmaker for about two years before my players finished the series. Tons of fun. The sandbox nature of the story means PCs can do anything they want, from adventuring to building cities and nations. It is a lot of work for the GM...

I have two RPG websites bookmarked on my browser and on my phone - Paizo.com and ENWorld.org. I played D&D 1E, 3.0 and 3.5. Tried 4E, didn't like it. I'd been a subscriber to Dungeon and Dragon magazines, so I knew the caliber of Paizo's work, tried Pathfinder, and liked it. But if...

I'm so happy I could weep. I just bought the alpha and the beta rules sets. And canceled my order of D&D 4.0 over at Amazon. Even if it fails, I'm proud to support a company that is doing what most of us believe in our heart of hearts is the right thing. ¡Que viva Pathfinder!

Okay, things seem back to normal. The site is back.

Greetings all- Am I just being lame? Every time I try to go to Skeleton Key Games' website (the folks who do all the e-Adventure tiles) I get some generic, Go Daddy, this page doesn't exist page. I've tried typing it in and following links from RPGNow. Anybody know what's up? BTW, here's...

I like the simplicity of this. It's easy to calculate and easy to remember. ANd by basing it on BAB, it is already adjusted for fighters, rogues, wizards, etc. Nice.

I don't know about full piecemeal armor, but I'd certainly go for at least seperating out helmets. So many illustrations show folk without helms. Are you going to tell me that a suit of platemail with a helmet and one without offer the same protection? I'd handle it like shields, with a...

A lot of the spells used by the patrols could be stored in wands. That would allow the patrols to be lower level that they would need to be to actually cast the spells. I was working on a slightly different law-vs-chaos idea a while back - Chaos has warped most of the surrounding lands and only...
