Also the effect on the local demand economy when those same adventurers return from their quest with the gorgon heads and a wagon full of weapons and armor looted from things they killed while hunting gorgons. Hard to sell the farmer's offspring a new freshly crafted long sword when there is a...

Since it seems everyone had fun, might be prudent to prepare a couple more short one shots. Having something ready means that if 'Grandma wants the kids' happens on short notice, you have something ready to run.

Congrats on making the session happen. One advantage of campaigns is you can reuse a lot of stuff. Both Bastion and the Necro-oozes could be reused in a future session. The dungeon gets occupied by something new a few months later and needs revisiting. The town becomes a base of operations...

Sounds like you need to sit down with your group and pick something. Then be prepared to do a lot of house ruling until the group thinks they can live with the result. Document it all and start play with the understanding that edge cases will be solved with on the spot house rulings, perhaps...

Mentioned in the last sentence of paragraph 1, which you quoted.

A fair number of Adventuring Parties are de facto mercenary groups. "Rescue the princess and I will reward you." "The town has a goblin problem. If you fix it, we will pay you." "Will you escort the caravan to Big Town for 300GP?"

This is a problem with a lot of 1 vs Many encounters, regardless of the game system. If the 1 fails a save, it is often boned, while if one of the Many fails, the Many has a minor power drop. Plus, one of the Many can help the one who failed while the 1 has no such safety net. While the OPs...

Agreed, but in this case as I mentioned, GG producing the new CS has enough separation from the original bad acts that I am OK with it. If you are not, that is your choice.

In a PF1 game, for many non combat situations, we don't use initiative. If someone is doing something, often the rest of us just observe and see how it plays out. If we see an opportunity to do something, we jump in, even if that interrupts the current focus action. That's kinda how it works...

One thing I find odd about this project is that GG plans on making good as much as possible, folks that backed a previous KS for a Pathfinder version of City State but isn't producing a Pathfinder version themselves. Is PF that far below 5E and DCC in popularity? Or is there some other reason...

Depending on zoning requirements and such, they may have to allot for X number of parking spaces. Plus setbacks from the property edges. Also a possible green space. 5 acres can quickly become 2~3 usable once legal requirements are satisfied. On the plus side, if it is land previously used...

To answer the original question, not normally. I normally won't buy a new version until a group I play with starts using the new version.

Found this under the Shipping and Timelines section: "Timelines We will charge shipping and relevant taxes after the campaign in the pledge manager. We estimate that fulfillment will begin in February 2026. The World's Largest Dungeon has been being worked on for over 18 months. The layout will...

I am in the other camp. Pretty much bleep over 5e stuff. Groups I play with use other systems. Switched away from D&D after the 3.5 -> 4.0 licensing issues. If I did use 5e stuff, I would have a hard time justifying spending $300 for the World's Largest Dungeon that comes pre-packaged with...

Who/what resets the traps is an often overlooked question. As I was watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for the first time, I wondered how the "Only the penitent man shall pass." head chopping trap got reset so many times. Not to mention the Jehovah spelling puzzle trap. Once a letter...

Don't remember if it was ever shown in the show Enterprise, but it is likely that the NX version had whole ship landing capability like the Voyager did. Transporters weren't the reliable thing that later timelines had and those landing pods weren't the best either. As far as favorite, have to...

Have a good plan on recording what/where every character is when you have to pause. It is almost inevitable that play will have to stop mid combat or mid negotiations due to some urgent work meeting or such or just lunch time running out. Being able to restore to that check point quickly will...

Mid to high level rpg characters often have abilities that allow flight, teleportation or other forms of non classic maneuvering. Same for many creatures. Very possible a party of such characters would be a 'special forces' unit tasked with killing/kidnapping the opposing leader, recovering...

Yes. Have done it. Fairly common back when there wasn't the big assortment of modules, adventures and such. If someone spent the money to buy a module that needed Level X characters and offered to run with pregens, we played. If we had fun with the characters, we kept them around for later use.

First rpg was D&D, late 70's. It wasn't long before I did the character generation game that you play before you play Traveller. Space travel in the future is deadly. Next was Traveller proper. Pretty sure there was some other rpg but not sure what. Hazy college memories. Spent a LOT of...
