    Any resources for running Dark Sun using PF?

    These were for 3.5, not PF, so you would still have some converting to do (particularly with the LAs) You can get pdfs of the magazines on the paizo website: paizo.com - Dragon Issue #319 paizo.com - Dungeon Issue #110 with Polyhedron #169 There was also a fairly extensive fanmade...

    Need a good name for a band of orcs

    The Orcish Inquisition... so nobody'll expect them! Gornok's Knockers The Slaughterhouse 700 (or 70 or 7,000- how ever many you want to impress the enemies of your number) Or they may be simply called Gornok's horde (or the Gorey horde or the orcish horde or some derivative) and rely on the...

    PF 1880 World Building

    Another idea on outsiders and such "far out" monsters, they could be retooled into aliens along the lines of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds martians- the tripods are pretty funky looking, for example. Any 'magical' powers could simply come from sufficiently advanced alien tech. Other ideas...

    PF 1880 World Building

    On the beholder thing, depending on how much you want to rework them, you could reskin them to be steam-powered battle zeppelins (perhaps increasing size and applying a template to make them constructs, for example). The different rays going off at once would represent different gunners...

    Things to Talk To in the Dungeon

    Another idea is to use your fellow scavengers and looters as a resource. Thieves searching for unknown riches might be willing to trade knowledge or resources, and you'll occasionally find the odd mage or alchemist rooting around dungeons for various material components or alchemical reagents...

    D&D 5E What big thing is supposed to be next week?

    On the MMO subject, I'm guessing that if they're making a new D&D MMO Hasbro/WotC has reached a major deal with another bigwig video/computer game company to license out (rather than out and out sell) the rights to make D&D video games.

    The single-classed wizard

    Well, it seems like, beyond the relative merits/flaws of the wizard class, there's also something of the player feeling left out here by the multiclassing trend in the party, perhaps something of a bandwagon effect. Are there any other players in the party not mutliclassing?

    Spelljammer in Eberron using PFRPG. Need some ideas for my campaign.

    Good to hear. I'll admit, you had my interest piqued at looking over the old module and how I'd convert it to pathfinder. Really, the Vodoni look fairly easy to convert over. The Enforcers and Conquerors could just be classed human werewolf barbarians of varying (with possibly some...

    Best Non-Core Monster Books

    Since some of the monster books that introduce monsters (Planescape, Mystra MCs, the Tome of Horrors) have been mentioned already several, I often find books that flesh out or facilitate the customization of monsters to be quite nice. From Ravenloft, the various Van Richten's Guides (including...

    Pathfinder 1E Is Paizo the new Palladium? (It isn't!)

    The thing about the item picture cards and legal action being taken against a blog, was that the Obsidian Portal thing I remember hearing about a while ago? That one campaign message board was using those item card images? I thought all they did was just ask the site to put it behind a private...

    Spelljammer in Eberron using PFRPG. Need some ideas for my campaign.

    The escape flight from Sharn might be fun using using the chase rules from the PF Gamemastery Guide (I think they're also in the srd), with collapsing buildings and such as obstacles that must be avoided with appropriate skill checks and the like.

    DMs: What are your character pet peeves?

    Mhhh, mostly I just like characters to follow the generic universal rule of "don't be a dick". Can they contribute to the game and get involved without disrupting stuff? Do they give me something to work with? Can they work with the group? Yes to these questions, and for my group things'll...

    Spelljammer in Eberron using PFRPG. Need some ideas for my campaign.

    Another idea for your war thing, another likely target for the vodoni invaders to go after are the trains and lighnting rails that Eberron is so famous for. If you can slow down the flow of troops and supplies, then you can cut off the various regions much easier (seems like they will be going...

    Race drawing the villain's attention

    Hmm, seems like on the one hand they're drawn to the tengu b/c of its stylishness rather than knowing of any real benefit it would give them, but OTOH, it might be something of a thematic game changer as far as certain villains are concerned. Given your initial impression, the vibe I'm getting...

    Spelljammer in Eberron using PFRPG. Need some ideas for my campaign.

    Interesting, sounds like you're thinking this pretty thoroughly. Another element you might want to consider, if you haven't already, is how gods are handled in Eberron as compared SJ or other D&D worlds. I'm not too familiar with Eberron's cosmology, but I understand that the actual gods (as...

    Spelljammer in Eberron using PFRPG. Need some ideas for my campaign.

    Hmm, I see the introduction of firearms/mundane black powder to Eberron as kinda a big turning point in that world's history, since the world's "tech" is actually magic rather than mundane technology. I could see the artificers being interesting in how they work, and maybe hiring the PCs to...

    What supernatural creatures were once human

    What about hags, crones, and such? Also, following the curse theme, there is Arachne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia who would prolly be something like the aranea in d20 terms (minus the shapeshifting powers, of course). Monstrous humanoid type.

    How do I make tiny animated dolls super creepy?

    Hmmm, the thing with living dolls that I always makes them the creepiest is playing up the Uncanny Valley - Television Tropes & Idioms aspects of it, playing them as disturbingly humanlike but also disturbingly not. Like describing the dolls as having the big, child-like soulful eyes looking at...

    Help me name an all-female group of mercenaries

    Maybe something from mythology? The Dire (or insert other descriptive adjective here) Furies? The (adjective) Vaklyries?
