So did Braddok and Gnobby meet their ends in that fight? Sounds rough! It's a shame, too, I really liked Braddok.

Stoplights know me. They love me. And they long to shed their reddish glow upon me for as long as possible. It's uncanny. Kind of like the rain god from Hitchhiker's Guide... I'm the deity of red lights.

Woot, update. Considering that everyone is the same level, I'm guessing you do experience points a bit differently than the original method? I seem to recall 2nd-level MUs in parties with 5th-level thieves. :)

Zendikar and Ravnica both made excellent settings for campaign-arcs in a plane-hopping game. My players were particularly fond of Zendikar because -- in the words of one player -- it "keeps you on your toes when the trouble comes not from the creatures, but from the hill they're running around...

House rules are house rules, so enjoy. But Shisumo is correct that they don't stack under the rules as written. Both your worn armor and the Coat of Many Stars give an armor bonus. Bonuses with the same name don't stack (except Dodge/unnamed) -- the only way they would stack is if the APG...

We had a near-TPK not too long ago. Only the Beguiler survived. He disguised himself as a new adventurer and "hired" the new party to help him out. The rest of us made new characters. Then, a few months later, all but two of the characters got massacred AGAIN. The beguiler survived, but we...

Yup. Bumpity-Thump.

The identification -- the split beams of light and glyphs -- is quite possibly the coolest thing I've read in quite some time. I really like that idea and will have to remember it. :) Still loving the story hour, steeldragons!

Hit up the Paizo boards paizo.com - Paizo / Messageboards / Paizo Publishing / Pathfinder® / Pathfinder Adventure Paths / General Discussion All of the 3.5 modules have been converted, it's just a matter of finding them. I can attest that the conversion for Rise of the Runelords is really good.

Same here.

I really all of these are matters of opinion, but I can't resist offering mine... Unless he gets his hands on some kryptonite, no. Really, all the Big S is vulnerable to is Kryptonite, Red Sunlight of a particular wavelength, and magic. Of course, there's little that he could do to Wolverine...

Honestly, unless economics change a lot in the near future, even a breakthrough like this won't make a giant impact. As Umbran notes, healthcare is a long, long way from universally available. Even in nations like the US, lots of people have substandard healthcare -- or none at all. Even with...

No idea, but I was really disappointed to find it gone.

I was also disappointed in the way the action scenes were strung together -- more the order than the connecting tissue. The fight with the samurai was incredibly cool. The attack on the Nazi zomibes? Wicked cool. The castle full of orcs? Not as good as the others, but at least the...

Dresden Files (and FATE in general) use the exact mechanic for social conflict as you would for actual combat, just different skills and stress tracks. You *might* use it to convince someone of something, but it's more often used in a public setting to embarrass your opponent, get someone to...

Arcana Evolved Sprytes have some oddball rules to make it work. They get the tiny bonuses, but only a +2 Dex and -2 Str. They have to use correctly sized weapons, but still take up a five-foot square and threaten the squares around them. Their base speed is 10', but they get some flight. If...

I love those kinds of in-character rewards. Not necessarily even something big, but an acknowledgement that the character has accomplished something... especially when it's also important to the PLAYER. Really cool. I'm enjoying Orea. :)

My players quickly learned that stacking up a bunch of temporary Aspects and situations before *unloading* on the villains was the fastest way to go. I know exactly what you mean about things like Sniper fire being terrifying -- I get the same thing, only deadly ambushes and physical blows...

I've seen discussions before -- here and on the Paizo site -- and the general consensus was that PF breaks more orginically at 8th level. Many classes get cool abilities and powers at that point. Of course, given the higher base power curve in PF, these discussions usually de-rail into whether...

I run Dresden Files for a group as well, in a campaign setting. I'm really enjoying the system and I'm loving what your group did with a one-shot! Looking forward to reading the rest. :)
