I have my Pathfinder Core Rulebook marked up with highlighter in a few spots, but primarily I have about twenty of those write-on plastic sticky tabs added for fast references. I've been a book collector in the past, but I guess I grew out of that. I've come to appreciate how office supplies can...

It began with a doodle on a piece of graph paper during a ridiculously boring weekly sales meeting. I'd been thinking about running a convention game for a while, and I remembered how much fun I'd had playing in a convention grand melee game I'd participated in about twenty years ago. I mulled...

From Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, Hedrack. My players HATED that guy, and they cheered even more when they killed him than when they defeated his bosses. When I DM, I prefer to mimic memorable actors/characters from either the big or small screen. I once had a player go ballistic on...

Right now I'm putting the finishing touches on a convention game: the Grindhouse Arena. It's a Pathfinder grand melee, bread-and-circus gladiatorial bloodbath. There will be much carnage, and it will be glorious. The fourth-and-final playtest is tomorrow, and the convention event is two weeks...

A bit of clarification: This will be an every-man-for-himself grand melee, pitting PC vs PC in a very deadly arena. The pits won't be a surprise to anyone, unless one opens directly underneath you as you cross the playing field. Falling down into a pit is instant death. Period. Do not pass go...

If my NPC were to bull rush a PC into an open 15'x15' pit, would the victim get a saving throw to avoid falling? My initial thought was that the victim should get a Reflex save. Let's set it at a DC 12 or so to grab the edge of the pit. But if they roll a 17 or higher, they avoid the pit...
