James, In all these design goals, you've succeeded. I started this thread out of love, not out of overall criticism. The way the Inner Sea and the general creation myth fit together are great. I, and many of the other posters, are part of a rapid fan base that has dropped a few hundred...

Very cool. I hope you don't use these to scare the kids!

I acknowledge that there is a comfort in the usual tropes of fantasy, and if that means having norsemen named Bjorn living near the top end of the map, I suppose that is what most people want. However, Paizo has done such a great job in "re-imagining" so many of these tropes, I was...

Found DoD! Thanks.

Steel Wind/Pukini, Thanks for your endorsements of the game. You have inspired me to get on the wagon - I'm forging ahead with my plans to GM. I've been trying to bend a system somewhere into a game that rips off Alien Legion for nigh 20 years - SWSE may be the ticket. And I'll pursue...

I've been in many TPKs, and through poor DM preparation and understanding of CR, I unfortunately caused a few. The party is particularly vulnerable and on the road to a TPK when: 1) Cleric is out of healing. 2) Any one of the fighters is at half hit points or worse. 3) All the...

Plus I'm looking at picking up the Military Campaigns hardcover for Star Wars Saga; is it any good? Thanks

Thanks for this. Did you write your own modules, dig up old West End game modules, or what? I made a poor attempt to use the Traveller rules for a an Alien Legion (an old Marvel comic book from the 80s...), and it was a lot of work to make a modules. The possibilities for adventure are not...

Yeah - I've heard that arguement elsewhere. I think, as has been discussed elsewhere in these forums, that Paizo is bucking that trend. But to those who actually played SAGA, how was it? I've heard that it was incapable of properly emulating cinematic space opera, and I've also heard that...

Very cool - thanks. As I've indicated earlier, I really liked how smart PC actions early on were rewarded, and I like how interesting the set-piece encounters were. During many of our encounters, each PC was embroiled in his own sub-encounter (often struggling for his life!), and each of these...

I have Star Wars SAGA, and we'll be giving it a try for the first time here in a few weeks. I see all the sourcebooks, and the game itself looks tight, but why weren't modules made for it? I can only see sourcebooks as far as the eye can see... Lazy GMs like me would have paid for modules...

Yeah - my group has been extremely impressed with what Paizo has done with gnomes. However, unless somebody somewhere can do something drastically interesting with halflings, we won't be using them in my group.

Sorry to all the Lovecraft fans out there... I don't know if I'll now be faced with "mind-blasting" or "cyclopedean" terrors...

Mr. Pett, two questions: 1) Did you have a chance to DM Carrion Hill? 2) If so, how did it play out for your players? Again, kudos on a very satisfying module...

Oh, and another point I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority over: I thought The Forest Oracle was genius (I played it when I was 14, so I have an excuse...).

I'm in the minority, at least within my own gaming group, in that: a) I thought MERP was a mechanically-sound system and an adequate representation of Mr. Tolkien's world. b) I think that HP Lovecraft is a talentless hack with facist overtones. The last point almost got me thrown out of...

Four points: 1) I'll be buying the Inner Seas book. I think it's fair that they release a new book with some repetitive material - knowledge and understanding of the world will inevitably grow and change with time. Golarion's world-myth, deities, and how the races fit together, are all well...

Megablake, Very cool description, and I admire your skill as a DM to have been able to pull this off. You have made me look at this adventure in a new light. Well done as both a DM, and thanks for sharing it here.

I've read through the original Campaign Guide, but I'll hang on for the Inner Sea version to purchase. I was extremely impressed with the River Kingdoms. The way that the varied authors brought a shared vision to the assorted parts of the River Kingdoms, and the way the whole area was built...
