    The New FREEPORT: CITY OF ADVENTURE Book Is Enormous!

    Received a response from Dylan Templar at Green Ronin. Basically said the issue was on Amazon's side. Contacted Amazon. All they would say is the book is OoS. Knew that. The first Cust Serv Rep hung up when I asked her about the action plan. The second said he would forward to higher...

    You aren't the only one! Just sent Green Ronin a pestergram via their website contact us feature. If/when I hear something, will post an update.

    Pathfinder 1E Tuny Creatures Entering a Hostile Ceature's Space From Cover

    Note that up to 4 tiny critters can be in one square. So the first can attack and take the AoO from the target. The other 3 can now attack free and clear if the target doesn't have a feat or ability that allows multiple AoO. Don't forget the use of Acrobatics to avoid AoO.

    Pathfinder 1E Masterwork: Reforged

    In most universes, Forged by Elves IS masterwork even if it isn't specifically listed in an item's description. Sounds like your character needs to take the Master Craftsman feat and as many ranks in Craft Weapon (sword) as possible in order to keep improving that weapon as he/she increases in...

    D&D Does Digital Part III: PDFs

    I have to wonder if WOTC's concern over piracy and their resulting pulling out of the PDF market made or lost them money? In other words, was the amount of lost profits from no sales of PDFs less then or greater then the additional profits made due to less piracy? Not to mention the loss of...

    D&D Does Digital Part III: PDFs

    Two main problems with DRM'd 'as a service' apps. 1. You have little control over what they do and how they do it. I don't want some WOTC app reporting back to WOTC central on what I play, when I play, who I play with, and what I use my device(s) for when I am not playing. 2. The cloud may...

    A Quick Look At EN World's Demographics

    I wonder how the analytics are skewed by folks running script blockers? I am guessing the technically oriented folks are more likely to be running such things. Does Google have some assumed default if it can't get a read on a user?

    RPG Sales From a Game Store's Perspective

    I think that the reason adventures sell less is that the potential market is approximately the ratio of GMs/(GMs + Players) for a given system. Further limited by if there are 2 lvl 3 adventures for sale, a given GM will likely only buy 1. I do think that ready to run adventures do help...

    Pathfinder 1E Channel energy houseruling

    Be sure to remind the players that if you give them the dual benefit per channel of positive energy that the evil undead cleric with her horde of undead minions also gets the dual benefit from her channel of negative energy, i.e healing her party while damaging the player's party.

    Pathfinder 1E Removing spells per day rule?

    Invest in a feat or trait or something that lets you use a longbow. Especially if your Dex is good, even better if you have Str bonus > 0. Having a chance to do 1d8 out to a range of 110ft with no range modifiers lets you be useful while waiting for the best time to zap something with a spell...

    Worlds of Design: Kickstarter and the Evolution of Game Crowdfunding

    I think the big fail are folks that think backing KS projects is just like ordering something from Amazon, just with a bit of a shipping delay. Many KS projects are little more than an idea that someone thinks might make a neat product, if only they had some start up money. Then they discover...

    PATHFINDER COMBAT PAD Returns

    I think the original product came from Open Mind Games. Here is the link: http://www.openmindgames.com/omg_products.htm . I have one of the OMG versions. My main complaint was the steel in the pad was a bit thin for the magnets to stick firmly. Solved that by buying a cheap steel dry...

    Official Metal PATHFINDER DICE?

    I don't think that d4 was ever reviewed by Legal. That sharp point looks down right useful as a caltrop. Plus they will do wonders on tables. And some of the numbers need a little work on across the table readability. The steampunk dice look like a better option.

    Where is My Little RPG?

    Laser Ponies. Dr Evil would be proud. And I will never trust unicorns again. That horn could be a high power wave guide for an energy weapon. But in a general sense, anything that increases the number of folks playing RPGs is probably a good thing. Even cash from Bronies spends well.

    Pathfinder Online Layoffs; Ryan Dancey Leaves Company

    This illustrates why companies often create subsidiaries when doing new projects. If the projects succeeds, the subsidiary gets absorbed back into the main company or sold off for a large profit. If if fails like this, the damage is limited. I was a backer of the 2nd KS. The other stuff...

    WotC: "Why We Aren’t Funny"

    Both the mouse costume and y-stick for the snake are humorous. But they also show folks reading the books that many situations can be solved by 'out of the box' ideas. So maybe the mouse costumes were an INT 6 idea. But maybe the giant mice aren't intellectual giants either and maybe, just...

    Is the "Conpocalypse" Nigh?

    I find it sad that Gen Con contributed only 62 cents per attendee to their designated charity. Seems rather small considering the list price for a four day badge was $90. Another con that is getting close to out growing the available facilities is Dragoncon in Atlanta GA. The crowds look...

    Pathfinder 1E Old school 3.5 gamer new to Pathfinder.

    If finances are an issue, get the Core book + the Advanced Players Guide first. Most 3.5 modules and campaign sources should work with minimal effort. The group I game with just started a Pathfinder game after years of 3.0, then 3.5 then 4.0 Gurps and some 3.5 based Star Wars. You don't go...

    Catching Up With PATHFINDER ONLINE

    Did the KS. Tried it for a while. Was not impressed. The graphics reminded me of games from the 90s. The old Bioware NWN graphics were better. And the game mechanics have little to do with the Pathfinder RPG. The NWN game had a more faithful implementation of D&D V3 then Pathfinder Online...
