Steel Wind - Many thanks for the detailed review. I have always enjoyed your thoughtful commentary on products. I have the PDF chapters and I agree with your assessments. Just by flipping through the adventure, you can tell that this was a labor of love from Greg. A very talented writter...

Eric - thanks for the comments. I know you have "top guys" on it. I am in agreement with Tree...I am not sure that I want a game that only goes to level 3. I know that there is history with basic box sets, but I like the the idea of a Pathfinder lite book that is compatible with the full...

Pathfinder lite I would love to see a Pathfinder lite system, that plays a bit faster, with a faster set up and that has less rules....Sorta a step back and one step closer to OSR.

Welcome Back! Looking forward to reading your monthly essays!

Very interesting idea This sounds like a very interesting product. It feels similar to C&C in that looks to place itself between Pathfinder/3rd ed and AD&D. I really like the rules light C&C system, and if Joe can deliver a similar feel, I will be buying the main book. Looking forward to...

Bow :) too funny....

good article Good article on the dungeon environment. A couple of comments: 1. I think one of the weak points in the WotC adventure designs is that it is totally based on individual encounters, and the plot, sneaking, role play, and exploration is left at the curb side. It is as if we are...

Pathfinder Light Glad to see Erik & Jason taking a hard look at this. I would love to see a Pathfinder light/basic version which is a step closer to the earlier editions of D&D.

Golarion Golarion... I use to be running a modified FR setting, but I have migrated over to Golarion. In addition, I have thrown Ptolus, DaD and Necro's adventures into Golarion as well.

Paizo & Pathfinder RPG First, I want to thank Jason & James for their comments, I appreciate their inputs into the discussion. I think it is important to realize that for everyone that likes 3.5 exactly as it is, and does not want any changes, there are a number of folks that are looking for...

Black Crusade Ari, I am glad to see that this is finally seeing the light of day. I had this on my Amazon wish list for awhile until it was cancelled, and I have been wondering what happened. Can you give us an idea of how many chapters to expect? Cheers!

Background In my opinion, this is one of the gems of the early days of 3rd edition. The period between 2000-2004, was perhaps the high point of Necromancer Games, and their catch phrase, “3rd edition rules, 1st edition feel.” This was the period immediately following the 3rd edition roll out...

Background I believe that it was during the summer of 2006 that WotC informed Paizo that they were pulling back the licensing for Dungeon and Dragon magazines. For a company that these magazines were the bedrock for, this was not a good thing. After numerous discussions and brainstorming...

Woot! Good news indeed.

Terrible News My sincere best wishes to all those effected. I hope everyone finds new work soon!

AP Design stuff Merric hits on some good points. How do you keep the characters motivated for the entire story arc? I do think this is easier for the shorter AP's, but the long ones (12+ parts) it can be quite a challenge. What's the right mix between sandbox and forced story line? I personally...

This is why I am a big fan of Paizo! They get the whole the whole total customer experience (TCE) thing. And the make great products!

No worries until about 2 years afterwards when the 2 year old climbs on the table and wants to play with the mini's. I am still optimistic that this is really a good sign, even though some of my figs don't agree ;)

Best wishes for Linae and all the rest of the folks who are now looking for new jobs.

C&c My son is 9, and I am starting him out with C&C. It is a rules light system that I thought would be easy for him to master. He is very bright, but not much of a reader yet, so I wanted to start him off with an easy system that was light on reading. So far he has really enjoyed the game...
