So I have a friend writing a scene who asked just that question. The characters in the scene say something to the effect, "this game sucked and then they came out with the expansion and that made all the difference". In emailing friends, we can't seem to find a game we think falls into this...

One of the game stores I tend to pay attention to is Black Diamond Games in Concord, CA. I game with Gary, the owner, and have for over a decade, including before he threw his hat into the game store ring. Now they are looking to increase their play area by building a mezzanine level. Here...

I'm looking for a d20 or Pathfinder creature or spell or ability that provides a short array of weird powers or changes to a character, possibly against his/her wishes. But I'm not interested in rehashing wild/chaos magic random effects. I'm less interested in changing spells being cast than...

I know I might get quicker responses at the Paizo boards, but since we have a thread here now about mythic, I thought I'd provide a place here to ask what others think are good 4th (or whatever) level spells you would take, considering the Wild Arcana archmage mythic path ability. For those not...

The sandbox campaign I've been playing in for over a year is about to go Mythic. The DM likes the system and if we survive the next battle, literally, we'll ascend to our first mythic tier. That's awesome! Can't hardly wait. Except, looking toward the future, I'm not sure where to take my...

I am probably not having luck because I'm not coming up with the appropriate tech term for this, but I'm sure somebody will know once I explain what I'm trying to do. I have a bunch of digital photographs I've downloaded from my camera onto my computer's harddrive. They are interesting...

The DM in my Pathfinder game is currently going through a flag phase. He wanted a ship standard designed since the city has apparently decided to get into privateering. And then he posted a flag "we never want to see". So, this got me thinking. I'm playing a summoner who's gathering folks...

It has come to pass in the sandbox game I am playing in that I want to do things that the rest of my party isn't interested in. Further, there is something of a play style difference that means off screen stuff is likely to happen more with my character than the rest of the party. It dawned on...

Every once in a while I like to google "free pathfinder adventure" or "free pathfinder module" (interesting difference in results) to see what's out there. This time I found this: http://aphilosopher.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/free-pathfinder-adventures-for-december-4-rils-lesser-sanctum/ So of...

A couple weeks ago in the Pathfinder game I play in, run by the owner of Black Diamond Games, Gary, I was sitting at the table with everyone and we were faced with a situation that essentially made it very difficult to reinforce the barbarian. A thought came to mind and I asked another player...

So, I've been doing a lot of game rules checking lately and my latest question is this. I've looked at the stat blocks for ogres and it seems they prefer to use weapons. But what if they were forced to smack some PC's around with their bare hands? Due to being Large, I'm going to guess the...

So I know there are random and not so random character and NPC generators, but what about something to figure out your followers for the Leadership feat? I'm not sure how many people even worry about how many 1st level townsfolk want to be minions or servants but for those that do, is it funner...

I remember a site that hosted open content from various 3rd party d20 publishers some years ago. I think I last saw it maybe 4 or 5 years ago, but I could be wrong. It was somewhat like the d20pfsrd site, but I don't recall it having nearly as much content and some of the books were obscure...

Our next session will start with a battle against zombies and so I'm trying to find different ways of fighting them after my PC's eidolon is destroyed and I'm thinking of some hound archons. So that leads me to wonder if the Aura of Menace counts as a mind affecting effect. "Aura of Menace...

In our game Sunday most of our party ran away from an encounter in which they failed Fort saves and got nauseated and/or we discovered we were in a wild magic zone and 4 of our 6 characters are magic oriented. So my summoner's eidolon, which also failed the Fort save and so was nauseated was...

Did anybody get any or even better all of the Free RPG Day Pathfinder stuff? It looks like 4 different adventures were available, rarest being Gaming Paper I think. I had planned to, at the very least, hit up the nearest place, but it was the hottest day of the year so far in the Bay Area so...

It is 30 pages of piraty goodness. The campaign traits also serve as the backstory of how you got shanghaied or pressed into service. None of them are voluntary, though I suppose you can work that out with the DM. It includes pirate weapons, ship to ship combat rules, counters, and a sidebar...

Let us say you are playing a summoner with a bipedal eidolon. Will the share spell ability allow you to cast Enlarge Person on your eidolon? Next, an eidolon stays around until reaching negative CON. Does that mean it is conscious at -1 hp? Staggered at 0? Does it follow the normal...

I'm already jonesing for my next Carrion Crown fix, so to help stave it off, here are my impressions of the encounters and adventure, first starting with Haunting of Harrowstone. I'm not sure if the first of the 5 big bads we fought was the Lopper or the Piper. That is because the group...

So we are planning a new Pathfinder campaign in March and I want to run a summoner. But I'm also considering maybe trying to stick a little closer to the DM's background which includes training by the town to handle the coming expected annual attack by a fire weilding monster. And his design...
