I wanted to follow up here since I started this thread a few weeks ago. I showed up for the Pathfinder Society game October 3rd, ready for my first PF experience. I would be the only player to show up besides the GM. Ugh... As it turned out though, there was another group playing PF that day...

Thanks, guys, for the links and comments. I've read through much of the Pathfinder rules today and I think I'm in love. There's a lot of detail and old D&D flavor that I've been missing. Wow. One of the things that helped me learn 4E was the series of videos where Chris Perkins DM'd a game for...

Hello, all. I'll be playing Pathfinder for the first time this coming weekend and joining an on-going homebrew campaign in a few weeks. I've played RPGs since the early 80s but only played D&D 3.x a few times. I'm very comfortable with the D&D 4E game. The Pathfinder Core rulebook is gorgeous...

My players are engaged and rewarded not based on the perceived difficulty of the combat encounter, but how it serves the story. I employ Eamon's philosophy--I will occasionally craft an encounter in which is relatively easy for the party AND also moves the campaign narrative forward. I also...

Just curious if the book is illustrated. I liked seeing the old Elmore illustrations in new red box.

This isn't an easy thing to address without knowing your players. How well do you know your players? Are they role players? Do they prefer to just get to the combat? Do they have back stories for their characters? Are they new to the game or new to role playing? Your answer is tucked away...

Greetings, all. I posted this in one of the DM forums over on the WoTC site for some feedback. Throwing it up here as well just to get some insight from the community here. Thank you. My second home group has scheduled its first session in on Friday, September 10. All classes and races have...

Yeah, I like the new sheet as well. Clean, simple, and doesn't look like it was designed by the IRS!

I played through the little solo adventure in the red box player's guide more times than I can remember. I recall getting Palace of the Silver Princess and Ghost of Lion Castle for Christmas in 1984. Ghost was a solo adventure and from that I concocted a way to run Palacee as a solo adventure. I...

They're available in both Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio today. I picked one up this morning. HUGE nostalgia factor for me. I took a few photos of the new box next to the old. See them here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-discussion/291155-full-circle-1983-2010-a.html

The back...

The guts...

Thought it was fun to compare and contrast when I got home from my FLGS this morning. I dug out my original red box from 1983. I no longer have the crayon that came with the old set but I still have all the dice in my huge bag of dice. I imagine there was some marketing material in the box, too...
