    Pathfinder 1E Well done Paizo

    Some awards (ie publisher) I saw miles away, but so many? oO So, what, does that make me a fully streamlined guy? :P Amysrevenge - it's a question whether Paizo received such acclamation because of number of fans, or if they have so many fans due to quality of acclaimed qualities ;-) That said...

    Pathfinder Converts: what non-PF 3.X stuff do you typically import?

    Only monster manuals so far, which means 100% of what I used in 3.5 :P I didn't have PH II, but I consider buying APG. If I had the aforementioned book, I'd most probably use it under PF. I'm not a fan of psionics, but if approached by a player who owns the book and wants to play it - I'd...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Basic: What should it be?

    Huh, I sort of skipped over dices and minis, and those are actually a huge thing IMO, especially for someone who orders their stuff online (even with digital book, you'll need dice, and pay for their shipping). As to one v other, the point is: both outcomes mean loosing 20 bucks regardless of...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Basic: What should it be?

    TBH Red Box looks to me like a silly waste of money. There are two possible outcomes from buying it: You will not like it, and you've wasted 20 bucks You will like it, and need to buy core book - you've wasted 20 bucks For $10 you can buy pdf of pathfinders core rulebook (which is like...

    Ah, the stupid things PCs do...

    Apparently, this stuff happens all the time. YouTube - ‪Monty Python - The Meaning of War (Tigers)‬‎

    Pathfinder 1E What do you think of Paizo's Adventure Paths so far?

    I actually think of D0,1,1.5 and E1 as of an adventure path, one that I really like. Actual adventure paths just didn't grasp me, but then again: a) I had merely a glimpse (preview pdf's, and at a bookstore) b) I'm really not a printed-adventures kinda guy. Kobold King and Carnival of Tears...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo = Play WoTC = Pay?

    Hehe, yeah that's how selective perception usually works. An argument that is weighted perfectly between 2 stances (A and B) will most often be perceived as biased towards A by B supporters and vice versa, because positives are considered to be natural and obvious, while negatives - unfair and...

    Are Casters 'still' way better than noncasters after level 6?

    Bah, in this case - it'd seem that 15min/day dependency has rubbed off on martials. Healing potions + healing skill & kits (treat deadly wounds). Problem solved. It's one of the unintentional yet important lessons in cRPG's, and some pre-made adventures, when you find healing potions around...

    The villain has just pulled a dirty trick: Is that worth extra XP?

    I'd give extra XP if they avoided the damn poison. If they drank the thing up and are affected by it, then giving them anything for it makes about as much sense as awarding being ravaged by an owlbear. Think of it like of a trap that they failed to spot and avoid.

    Slow Advancement Rocks

    BTW, there's another way to stimulate character exploration, one that worked wonders for me (sadly, didn't work on first try, this is an upgraded ed ;-) ): no kill-xp. I got the idea from Vampire: The Masquerade. Keep the xp pool the same, but diffuse it between different quests/aspects. Now...

    Hit List

    Unauthorized hits on bank that's been paying for protection call for harsh treatment, especially since the trio that did this might be responsible for other similar hits. Guild informants know their city of origin, as well as covers of two of them. One, is a reverend, and the other a herdsman...

    Storn's art for swipin'!

    I like the idea of re-making kids drawings :D I first heard of something like that with Dave Devries' The Monster Engine - A Journey Into Children's Imaginations , but it was focusing a lot on the expressionistic aspect. Gogo, Heart Girl!

    Preview of the new D&D COmic!

    Well, then. WTF were you thinking with Catwoman? And where are the Dragonborn? (I really don't have any problems with traditional party ;P).

    Half-Hobgoblin?

    Playing hobgoblin is all about fluff, so all bonuses have to give is to reinforce this. Maybe instead of a strong trait, give a number of bonuses similar to what halflings have? IE +2 to craft (only to traps), survival and stealth instead of straight Hobgoblins Stealth trait - the sum of bonuses...

    Kingmaker for Goblins or Orcs

    I keep coming back with this title, but it keeps being relevant, so what can I do :P Jig the Goblin saga is like a Goblins Kingmaker story hour ;-P Not only you get a taste of how it would look for goblins, hobgoblins and orcs respectively - but apart from protagonists/PC's (who have good...

    Gamers, I need input!

    There's a place like that in my city, one that breaks probably all of advices listed here, and yet is extremely popular, so instead of giving advices, I guess I'll just try my best to describe it :P I've found one photo of it as well a photogallery: The Troll: Clicky! To start - it's not a...

    Which of these games would you rather play (and why)?

    Option 2 looks like Dark Sun / Conan general campaign setting, whereas option 1 was presented as ready to go campaign. And a campaign that was played over and over again for years by many players, told by countless books etc. Generic as both might be, second one was simply abused less, so...

    Drawing maps

    As to Dundjinni - check out the demo first. I'm quite sure it really is worth the $40, but as been said - it has quite high learning curve. Demo let's you play around, without printing or saving your projects - which isn't as big problem as you'd think, as first couple of hours is swing and miss...

    How can I stall combat for a couple rounds?

    Or maybe subdue the paladin (ie rope + taking all his weapons), and prepare an ambush for the others? It's their damn dungeon, they know what possible ways in there are.

    Oots 0734

    Repeated in 572 as "Belkar will draw his last breath - ever - before the end of the year." preceded by "At any rate your pal isn't long* for this world, so I saw no reason not to have my fun where I could" I can't find the original strip either, though. That said it does play nicely with what I...
