Just wondering, but it looks like the fact that a new thread is created every time there's a new Paizo Blog entry is pretty well spamming the Pathfinder board thanks to Gen Con related blogs... So I guess I just wonder if it's as off-putting to anyone else as it is to me.

So I decided to buy Paizo's wonderful Combat Pad. Naturally, I decided to peruse Paizo's Store and purchase said item. It's $20, nothing unusual there. However, I ran into a slight problem that I couldn't seem to overcome. Um, no. Look, I get that shipping isn't free these days (not even...

...without violating any NDAs. Here's the thing, I've read and re-read the "open-form" method of handling skill checks, but I can't seem to get how the interaction between a skill and an ability differs, if it does, from 3e. In 3e, you had an ability bonus + a relevant skill bonus, that was...

Y'know, for me, I've come to detest balance in D&D. Please hear me out. Let's take 1&2e - Class balance was uneven, but it was felt that having XP charts unique to each class was a way to balance things, but IMO, they didn't. Racial balance was handled via level limits, which every group that...

When the DDXP playtest occurs, there will be a lot of people disappointed. When the open playtest occurs, there will be a lot of people disappointed. When the next iteration of D&D is released, there will be a lot of people disappointed. And Wizards of the Coast won't be to blame. Looking...

One of the things I liked in the previews and lead-ups to 4e was the idea that 9 spell levels being the cap would be a thing of the past (or cleric 7 for you old-timers), instead the spell level you could cast was the same as the level caster you were. Now, the way it turned out, spells were a...

I'm a current Pathfinder DM. Who's tossed Attacks of Opportunity and I think my game is better for it - more cinematic, less fiddly, and it means that battlemats are a thing of the past for us. I think it's been a breath of fresh air. No more taking Improved Unarmed Strike just so you can...

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I thought I'd share a suggestion for those of you using paper/cardstock counters or dungeon tiles or maps that may help make them more durable and "feel" better when using. Floor tiling. You can go into just about any department store with...

Hi gang, A fellow player and I got into a disagreement over the following scenario: A L sized creature is 10' away from a medium sized creature who lacks reach (and thus only threatens 5'). He maintains that if the L sized creature (lacking Imp. Grapple) attempts to grapple the M creature...

Hi gang, As I am soon to be running the World's Largest Dungeon (perhaps followed by the World's Largest City - what's up with that?), I am planning on restocking a lot of the monsters in the WLD with non-SRD monsters and I'd like to know what monster books I don't have and don't even know...

Ok, so I was looking in my copy of AEG's Magic when I noticed that the section 15 isn't updated with information for Magic. It's my understanding that this is a fundamental requirement of the OGL; you must update the section 15 with your product. Am I wrong about this? I looked through the...

Well being completely unoriginal, I decided to do a "me too" post requesting information from publishers wishing to get their products listed in the d20 Guide. So pop on over to http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21809 and read Joe's original thread. Same goes, except...

I have a question to the mods regarding your locking policin in General RPG. A few days ago, Piratecat locked a thread that was essentially a copy/paste of something the poster likely recieved via email - one of those "20 amazing things you never knew." PC locked it with the notation to the...

Hey, a quick request for any of the Skull and Crossbones people: Can you elaborate any (i.e. talk a bit) about the voodoo rules? I've been looking for a D20 voodoo system for some time and would like to know if you guys had any press release type material that could tell me a little about what...

(for those of you non-FR people) Kelemvor - LN God of Death, abhors undead Lathander - NG God of Birth, Light, Life, abhors undead Tymora - CG Goddes of good luck Asimar - a descendent of a Celestial; a planetouched person Waterdeep - perhaps the largest city in the Realms I'm playing a Paladin...
