Sometimes. I don't rely much on modules and more on 3x5 index cards with different game mechanics scribbled on them. I have more problems with players trying to make a decision after they pass a roll of some type or other. Plus, I am not a one evil warlord kind of game runner, to me, logically...

Actually, the Greyhawk Grognard is making one as well. Adventures Dark & Deep. He just finished Castle of the Mad Archmage, an epic take on Castle Greyhawk, so I am confident that he can turn out an excellent game. No dig on anyone else doing the same. I fully support all retro-clones and have...

Amen! Mead will do in a pinch, though.

Sorry, I don't keep track of the personalities, likes and dislikes of the 90,553 members of this website.

@Ariosto: Even as a joke, though, people (like me) can see this as a jab. I really am not into the edition wars and I think that all participants are immature, whether they are 12 or 60. @Exploder Wizard: James and I might bang heads, but he puts out a solid product. The art on that is...

I like it better than the Order of the Stick because, frankly, I quickly grew tired of the constant references to game mechanics in OotS. Just give us a story, every once in a while a sideline is fine, but I quickly soured on the constant mention of game mechanics and other out of character...

I am half grognard (I also run Pathfinder and sometimes Barbarians of Lemuria, and the latest CoC) and I find all of the edition whinging to be nonsense. As I have stated before, any game that you and your fellows like is the perfect game, regardless of edition. Just have fun. However, the jab...

This looks interesting, and the monster templates really have me curious. However, what sort of weirdo is crossing halflings and blink dogs? Or gnomes and cloakers? Gargoyles and dwarfs? GAH! Owl & Bear? Yeah, maybe, but sheesh, poor little hobbits and blink dogs?!:confused:

And I won't be overly concerned, but you hit the nail on the head. If one of my Pathfinder players pays $40 (even though I bought the core, screen, bestiary and Gamemastery Guide) for a book that I am not interested in, what do I tell him? Then I go and buy the book and so on. I would tend to...

And it doesn't bother this grognard at all. People who get worked up over a particular edition of a game need to step outside for a while and enjoy the sunshine. Or just play the game that they like.

I would say that you should look into prescription lenses then! :p I write a daily oldschool blog and run Pathfinder as well. We did try 4e, but it was a bit more than we were interested in, however, I am a staunch advocate of playing any game that you like, any edition in which your group has...

Quite true on it being an option, and I am fearing that it will be or that this book will become the game-breaker and we will just go back to simpler games. Despite the current clatter on the Pathfinder forum at the Paizo website, more rules and more structure aren't necessarily an...

Thank you for making that, it is pretty handy!

I agree. With the release of the GameMastery Guide I was building up the Pathfinder confidence at the table. I was happy to see the Advanced Player's Guide coming out, but I hope it doesn't become a monster, as you said, like 3.5. I wouldn't find 163 new Feats to be a good thing. I have a hard...

After reading the preview of the Advanced Player's Guide on the blog I feel like a deflated balloon. 163 new Feats! Gah! More race options. Sure, some of it sounds great, but all of those new Feats alone are already making me waffle. And more race options? Sheesh. Might be a skipper at my game...

Thank you for the note, IronWolf. I tried searching on Google and the Paizo boards. I think I will use the Monster Advancer and change what I need to for monsters in OpenOffice.

Does anybody know of a monster sheet for Pathfinder? Google searches do not reveal one, I can use a 3.5 version just the same. An NPC sheet is a bit detailed, I just need a stat block sheet for monsters that I can use for an upcoming game.

Well said! I scuttle around the fringes of the Paizo board, but don't post very much because of the mounting similarity to the WotC forum. There were so many posts mentioning "gish" in the title at one point that I almost threw out my Pathfinder books in disgust. Like grufflehead said, it is...

A little late to the party... I really enjoy Pathfinder and I am an oldschool gamer. The depth of characters is amazing. However, it isn't very oldschool in feel. We use Labyrinth Lord + the Advanced Edition Companion (with a few houserules) for the 1E feel. Labyrinth Lord alone will give you...

Healing surges are unnecessary in my game. You get by, patch up and make it somewhere to hole up and get better, or die.
