I'll second Five Fingers: Port of Deceit for Iron Kingdoms. My favorite setting book of all time is Life on Terra Nova for Heavy Gear. Absolutely fantastic. Do you have Ptolus? Can't see your list as I type this.

I feel like we are drowning in crunch and the game has only been out a year. Enough already. I want a new and highly detailed, non-vanilla, non-kitchen-sink setting with lots and lots of support. It'll never happen. Oh, and 4E won't be viable to me until Githyanki are a playable race with a...

I've had the exact same problem here on EN World. The only email I receive is the occasional newsletter, that's it. I haven't received post notifications in ages. Is my account configured incorrectly as well?

Here is a pet peeve of mine. You can't subscribe to threads on the Paizo boards and have them send you an email when a response is posted to the thread. That's annoying. At the same time I don't know that you can do it here either. I use to get emails to my threads all the time but I haven't...

The Paizo boards are horribly organized. Horrible. Did I mention they are horrible? I'm actually disappointed ENWorld separated Pathfinder into its own message board. Having it isolated like this gives it much more of an echo chamber effect where you are likely to only see agreement with all...

I know very little about the game but I did hear from a PC Gaming podcast that although many of the settings elements are traditional (elves, dwarves and such) each is different enough to make it memorable. For example Dwarves are supposed to be Machiavellian in the extreme. One person described...

Is it me or did the Pathfinder product lineup change a bit recently. I see the 6 AP's and the Companion but I thought there was also going to be a Chronicles book on Cheliax (which I can't find any more) as well as two supplements detailing the Devils of Golarion (I now only see one). Maybe I...

Keep in mind most regions only get two pages. Two. Two pages to describe a country. Not enough for me. Let me be the dissenting voice here. I get the kitchen sink approach is the best way to make the biggest number of people happy. I don't like it but I get it. My recommendation is instead to...

Awesome news. I agree that the XPH is pretty damn good. I'd go a bit farther and say that the only possible area the rules could use improvement on is the issue James Jacobs seems to bring up and that is NPC's with psionics (i.e. psionic monsters) and their lack of reason to hold back during an...

My collection is all over the place but most of it is in my basement so a picture wouldn't really help. That said I've started to catalogue a small part of it on GeekDo.com (the RPG brother to BoardGameGeek | Gaming Unplugged Since 2000). So far (and I'm maybe 20% done) it looks like this...

This statement upsets Grandma. Seriously, every race can be evil. When it comes down to it it really isn't about race at all. The better distinction would be what is a race as opposed to a monster. It's all semantics I suppose but I'm not happy at all about the exclusion of Githyanki.

I always liked reading the forum section. Before the Internets it was the place to go for insightful discussion on D&D. Perhaps the best known Forum letter was the one describing how to use kobolds (I think) to great effect against very high level characters. Anyone remember that article and the...

I'd go with the silver sword idea. The PC's find or come across a githyanki silver sword (perhaps in a Mind Flayer treasure trove). On it are inscriptions in a language the PC's have never seen before. After deciphering it they see mention of Vlaakith, Tu'narath and/or the Palace of Whispers...

Can someone explain what happened to DS after the initial box set that upset so many people. I am familiar with the basics of the setting but I never got that deep into it (the Baxa art just killed any interest I might have had).

What about psionics? I recently saw a book on the topic at my FLGS and it looked interesting. What other supplements are worth buying? I have the MongTrav pocket edition but that's it. Tell me more about Gateway to Destiny. Is it old or new? Is it available in hardcopy?

I 've read many Heavy Gear books cover to cover. Mostly those having to do with the fluff of the setting and storyline. Not so much with those having to do with Gear stats and such. With D&D I've done that with a handful of WotC adventures (City of the Spider Queen and a few others) but that's...

I don't subscribe to the magazine so I'm curious, how long is the article? I'd love to see stats for the lich-queen as well. I'm guessing she's a level 25+ monster at least. She has to be to keep all those Githyanki in line. One other thing, does the article make mention of any kind of...

Nope. Never ever. Of course I do. I still see only a tenuous connection at best. To me the monk makes more sense with "martial" as a power source than psionic. Regardless, it's all just semantics and a pet peeve I'll have to deal with. Moving on...

Speaking only for the fluff: I've never, EVER understood why monks have any relation whatsoever to psionics. Apples and oranges. Hell, apples and frikkin steak afaic. I missed the monk discussion. What's it like mechanically?

I only own the Worlds Largest City and Dungeon so I can't comment on the rest. That said If you own Ptolus I don't think you need the Worlds Largest City.
