It's always okay to ask and try to work things out with the player. Those things may not always succeed mind you but communication is always a good place to start.

No matter what we think though, they've sold out at the distributor level. Get 'em while you can. WizKids/NECA Announces Manufacturer Sell-Out of Pathfinder Battles: Heroes & Monsters | Wizkids/NECA, Inc

They are awesome and if I ever manage to get into another game again, will be used! Heck, useful for any edition as well. ;)

There were the whole thing of fantastic encounters that came out toward the tail end, they were the ones with the double sided poster maps. Then there was the Moonsea, which was an adventure/setting book. Then there were the three hardcover FR adventure books that all connected to each other...

Pathfinder books aren't the same size or format. Generally FR books and Eberron were 160 in a hardcover unless it went up to the next size. Most Pathfinder books are much shorter being in the 32-64-96 range. I think only the original hardcover and revised hardcover have any equivlancy.

Substituion levels first popped up in the FR Heroes of Valor book. Background Feats made their core apeprance in FR 3.0 book and made it into the 3.5 revision bit. Races like Warforged became popular because of the 3e rules. There was even a monsterous manual thing in the 3.0 days for...

Pathfinder Prepainted Miniatures Review - YouTube I was disappointed with the size of the 'Huge' Black Dragon as it is essentially smaller than almost every other Huge dragon I've seen with maybe the exception of the Green. In addition, I found them 'thin' if you will. I also think the Paizo...

Completely my fault. I was thinking of the Barbary states via 1778-1830

In terms of slavery, if you go a little abroad, even now, it's still a problem. One of the reasons the United States destroyed the Barbary states was they were slave takers of United States Citizens and the live those slaves lived was not an easy one. In many 'civilized' cultures, slavery is...

That I think is interesting because it gives the players different ways of thinking than the natives. One of the things that I enjoy about some fiction is how things are going the way they've gone for hundreds if not thousands of years precisely because that's the way things have gone and then...

I'd buy that first arguement the second WoTC stops using cheesecake in its art.

Well, you got half my post and held onto it. Seemed to forget the large amount of Forgotten Realms and Eberron material, not to mention the liscensing of offical material like Ravenloft, Dragonlance and Gamma World. (and Dungeon magazine and it's numerous adventure paths...)

No, 3e was a very successful game because it allowed OTHER people to focus on adventure and setting. There are many settings, ranging from Arcanis to Iron Kingdoms to Arcana Evolved to Scarred Lands, to ones offs like Call of Cthulhu, Dragonlords of Melnibone, and dozens of others like Nymae...

My bad if I implied that women should have different stats. In terms of holding people back based on social status, one of the things I found interesting in K J Parker's The Hammer is that one of the lead female characters becomes a doctor and it's pretty much accepted. Jierel of Joriey is...

I agree about the setting side of it but the default setting is usually implied in the rules.

One of the things that's been lacking in D&D, in terms of challenging the status quo, is the thinking. Everything is done up in modern terms in view of how people act, how they treat each other, etc... Sure, the occassional dwarf elf thing, or now the tielfling dragonborn thing may pop up but...

Depends on how far back you go. When Paizo was doing it, if they weren't doing it on a computer first I'd be shocked. The real older issues, yeah, those could be problematic but... WoTC did have a lot of pre 3rd ed stuff for sale in PDF format at one time and took it down because of 'theft'...

One of the ways WoTC defended bringing the character builder online was talking about how wi-fi was everywhere these days. In that spirit, they need to digitalize all of their old Dungeon magazines, or at least those they have the rights to, and make them accessible while online. They need to...

That was my bad. I didn't see the first page, just clicked on the last.

For that to work, and this is just my opinion mind you, the base assumption is that the xp tables will be equal among the classes and that classes will be balanced. In older editions, that might not have been... wise.
