I'm going to let my subscription run through this second adventure path, and then cancel it. I don't particularly want a new edition of D&D that isn't the 4e I've seen previews of and liked, though of course I'll continue to actually purchase any book that catches my fancy :)

I, too, am a little saddened by this announcement. Good luck in 3.5, Paizo! I'll still buy your adventures, because you rock, but now I'll have to convert them. And that's not even mentioning that I'll never give you money-grubbers another dime, and will be giving all my money to the completely...

Elaborate on the apparent non-sequitur, please?

This sounds like Dread Speculation to me. It also sounds wrong: 50% chance to die? Why?

Sounds like you've got it well-in-hand. Starting the game can be tough -- you've avoided the tried-and-true "you are in an inn, drinking your ale when...", so that's a good sign :) Flip: Have you read the Dungeoncraft column? I find it's pretty useful stuff; it was linked on the main page a few...

I, influenced by burning wheel, did come up with the idea of Nodes. I haven't playtested this yet. For each encounter area, draw a connected graph of Nodes, which represents areas in which characters can be. This isn't that complex -- "over by the door", "in the middle of the room", "by the...

Our work here is done. Don't forget to come back with tips, tricks, further request for advice, horror stories, bragging, and a story hour. :D

Goes well with my belief of what they're shaving off: Pounds. For which I'm eternally grateful. ETERNALLY. DO YOU HEAR ME? ::rubs sore back::.

Railroading: When the DM forces you to play your character "right". This can be the plot forcing itself forward without actual player interaction necessary; being beset on all sides by failure with one, ridiculously forced, avenue towards success, or similar bits of DM wankery. It's usually bad...

I forget whether you're one of the lunatics whose already tried to play 4e (I know I am!) but, I gotta say, as theoretical houserules go, this one's a doozy of one you'll want to keep an open mind around. It's only noticeable at real extremes, and I found it a LOT easier to ignore the extra...

Does the nosepicker get Knife Eye Attack? Maybe? Please?

So, to no one's surprise: Lizard, take more drugs. hong, take fewer drugs. FIFY!

Never mind.

I really don't understand what you're complaining about. It seems that you don't like the most common, weakest form of a humanoid foe having a unique name. I'm not sure I can get behind that sentiment: You, the DM, are the only one who ever has to see that name, and as a DM, I know that I prefer...

... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Make my day complete: Emerald Frost. Current status? Slushee or Slush Pile?

Wow. Devsigned. Complain quieter, guys! we're attracting their dread eyes! who knows what shall remain behind when they're done making informed input! :D On behalf of the bepuzzled denizens of EN World, thanks for dropping in. Now publish and start selling those damn books!

Sorry, I'm a lazy DM -- I like the 6+6 option more than the 1,1,:12 option, too. I really liked the Astral Construct spells powers as a player, but as a DM I'd rather cheat completely than use them as written. I just have too much else on my plate to care.

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure you don't, really. I mean, sure, it helps. But having a unique term (Godplate) and publishing it does let you defend it later. Or at least, have a leg to stand on when you try to defend it, whether or not you win the actual case. That said, while I think the names...

This is a trick question, right?

"Object" in a rules sense may now always be attended, to prevent (e.g.) using Locate Object on Lord Whatsisbuckets' pants, because Locate Creature isn't yet available. What you're looking for might be called Equipment, say.
