My experience with shipping from Paizo has been a mixed bag, but it depends what type of shipping you get. I've found that shipping through USPS is always disappointing, always late, and neither Paizo nor I has any way of figuring out where in the US the order is at any given time. USPS is a...

My exact experience. My group began with 8 characters and something averaging a 50 point buy from good rolls. So there were several levels of balancing that needed to be done throughout the lifespan of the campaign. Levels 1-5: The PC's could easily outshine anything between their own CR and...

Richard, I'm thrilled that you got some use out of it. I got three excellent sessions out of her, and she finally fell during our last Saturday game of the year. One of my PC's is a spiked-chain weilder and will be able to forge her body-chains into a weapon capable of harming the final foe...

what I wished for Feat and PrC compendiums might have been nice. Here's my thoughts on what I wanted to see. Unearthed Arcana II: Include how to balance reserve feats. Better creature advancement rules. Better craft rules. Alternate class abilities as in PHBII, a PC race-creation guide...

No worries man, thanks for the tip. It was worth the hunt. Some updates -- Only the Weymouth, Hanover, and Norwood stores have this sale. I took a trip down to Weymouth tonight... There are literally piles of books. Here's a list of stuff I definitely saw there: Monster Manuals 1-4...

I checked the Burlington store earlier today and did not see any. Can someone confirm whether the Somerville store has them? Edit: Ah, apparently the Somerville store no longer exists?

Delve portion of the Adventure Hi, I just wanted to post some comments on the presentation of the encounter locations. The large-scale map is keyed at 10' squares. This, by itself, is fine. However, when you "zoom in" to the encounter scale, you really need to start filling in the details...

I'm running Age of Worms right now, and I'm planning on taking it all the way through. Currently the PC's are 2/3 of the way through Three Faces of Evil, and we've been playing for a little over a year. (30 or so 3-4 hour sessions). Here are my thoughts: - Age of Worms revitalized my DM'ing...

Rich, I am doing this exact same thing over the next few months as I wrap up my campaign. I have a Cathezar doc that is 3.5 compliant, but is also tailored to my campaign and style of play. It may be utterly useless to you but I'll let you take a look and be the judge. Basically, it's an...

If Talien's list is comprehensive, I'd be inclined to just toss the sex/brutalization entirely. There is no one element among them that adds anything really necessary, unless you WANT to explore those themes. (Thanks, Talien, BTW) Seriously, you can get away with simply portraying servants as...

Schnauzer. Definitely a Dire Schnauzer. The beard's the key.

I'd forgotten about those RoTG articles. Thanks for the reminder!

One of my PC's polymorphs into a monstrous spider. Presumably this grants him Vermin Traits, such as darkvision. There's another trait, as follows: —Mindless: No Intelligence score, and immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects). He...

Yup, of all the original AP modules, this is the one I fiddled with the most... In my game, I threw out the duergar angle. Imperagon is a human warlord descended from Dydd, and he is trying to re-forge the blade that cut Ashardalon's heart out in ages past. He hopes to challenge Ashardalon...

some ideas If this mansion is the rakshasa's private sanctum, he should have spells there that are "backups" to his existing list. - Definitely 1 "backup" scroll of cubehop or greater teleport - A scroll to protect his mansion in the event of intruders (guards and wards perhaps?) - A scroll of...

not sure if the Vaati have gotten a 3.5E treatment or not, so I'll suggest them.

I made a ruling last night on this feat. This is not a feat a player has chosen yet, but it's in the pipeline for his character build. He's an urban ranger who wants to take Nemesis against a favored enemy/organization (to be determined). The extra damage is nice but the thing that really...

continuing a brief hijack to kafkonia and tx7321: Twilight Calling is a weird little gem of the "M" series of basic adventures. It's the assumed final step before the PC's become immortals themselves, as they are tasked with defeating (in various ways) the immortal rulers of seven demiplanes...

this turned out to be longer than I'd expected. Um... sorry? 1.) Multiclassing This issue has never been a problem for me simply because I have excellent players. If they can't think of in in-game, roleplaying reason to multiclass, they don't do it. That said, I wish there were some...

I'm looking through the SRD and the only place it specifically mentions being able to use unarmed strikes while both hands are occupied is in the Monk class description. That's sort of annoying. I think that makes it seem like only Monks can do it. I think the precedent I'll use is the one...
