Also, on a sad note, we just found out that we are losing David (who currently plays Wesh, and who played the fan-favorite Towercleaver in Savage Tide) to a job transfer out of state. We knew this day was coming, but that doesn't make it suck any less. David and I played D&D together for a...

Not to give away too much, but the final encounter was not in fact a TPK. It was, however, a TPK in spirit. Although we have a reputation for power gaming, we do get quite involved with our characters. Not to wax too artsy, but there comes a point where introducing another PC just doesn't feel...

Adso turned into the Tarrasque - oh, wait - that's just what a certain shiny wizard thought. Actually, you won't belive who got "hooked."

Mmmm, Wild Turkey - the "kickin' chicken." We are gaming on Saturday this week...;) And for those concerned about updates: You might get one if you hack into and disable JD and Joachim's XBox Live accounts.:]

I would never dream of preempting JD's teaser, but I do have good news to report from tonight's session: Our prayers were answered and no pickles were jiggled. Can I get an "Amen" from the congregation!

Adso's not broken...er, except for that whole Mage Slayer tree of feats...but hey, it cost me 4 feats total for that (I would not otherwise have taken blindfighting), so my cheese came at a very high cost with somewhat limited functionality - especially since Paizo spellcasters are usually Stone...

Those same stone giant necromancers and ogress sorceresses with unassociated class levels. We'll stop our cheese when James Jacobs stops his. And don't even get me started about Unholy Toughness! :rant: At any rate, Adso is fully aware of the advantages and disadvantages of being a Mage...

Adso is a 10th level monk built using the Pathfinder Beta Rules. I did incorporate the variant fighting style (Cobra) from Unearthed Arcana, and the Mage Slayer and Pierce Magical Concealment feats from Complete Arcane. Note that in this campaign we are limited to core plus 3 splat books from...

Well, since Cruemann (# 6) and Max were run by the same player (who also ran Randall - and Daelric in Savage Tide), and all were pretty much comic relief, you should be happy. Cruemann is deadly with that bow of his, so with him staying out of melee range he might actually survive a while. ;)...

We did discuss this around the table as players, and also had our PCs deal with the issue a bit in-game. Joachim can elaborate, but the big difference in Reaper's necromancy vs the usual stuff has to do with the Pathfinder deity he worships. Pharasma is a True Neutral goddess of death...

So you want to get your game on with JollyDoc? If you happen to make it to DragonCon in Atlanta, GA for the Labor Day weekend, come find us on Saturday in the gaming area for JollyDoc's Battle Royal. Of course, the the mad doctor himself will be there as well as Joachim (Mandi/Luther)...

While they have streamlined some things like grapples, disarms, trips, and other 3.X bugaboos, my personal opinion is that they have taken a hard look at classes and tried to make every class more defined, yet at the same time offering more diversity within the class. I hope that makes sense...

I just wanted to chime in from a player perspective that we are all having a blast playing this Paizo AP and using the new Pathfinder rules. Also, for all of you faithful readers who aren't aware, the Pathfinder RPG Beta will be available as a free PDF download on Thursday, August 14th. Even...

I just thought of something guys...I wonder if any of those little critters' daddy was the bugbear... would that makes them "buglins"? I smell future pack lords...;)

Randall is not the only name in the group with a literary nod. See if you can spot the other...

Though it's not always fun to be on the receiving end of these critical hits and fumbles, it sure makes for some story hour gold.

My playtest experience was that players who were familiar with MMORPGs and how the tank, blaster, buffer, etc., roles worked had more success. Once we started using our WoW and City of Heroes tactics, we were cruising. The problem was...we enjoy our MMOs, but we also enjoy playing D&D (I still...

Very nice! I can't wait to see the real thing up close. While it's appropriate that Daelric is running away from Demo, he's white... and visible. ;)

Joachim can elaborate, but most of those come from the Spell Compendium and the Magic Item Compendium. While many of the Complete books are complete crap, all of the Compendiums (the two mentioned and the Rules Compendium) are must haves.
