Nobody has ever asked to include 3.5 material in my Pathfinder game. I have no problem allowing 3rd party Pathfinder material, so logically I shouldn't have an issue with D&D 3.5 stuff, but if there was any overlap with / contradiction to official Pathfinder material I'd want to go with...

I do my best to make it possible for the players to make an informed decision, although they might have to work a bit to get the information. What decision they make (e.g. challenge the ogre or not) is up to them - they'll have to live or die with the consequences. The ogre isn't going to take...

"Ah yes, we call that ogre the Butcher of Barrow Hill. He'd killed a few farmers, ate a few cows, so the Reeve hired a bunch of likely lads to deal with the problem. (You remind me a bit of those guys, actually.) Anyway, none of the poor sods came back. The Baron took a personal interest at this...

Sadly, it is all too easy to avoid stepping on official content when it comes to Eberron's Planes. I'm really looking forward to this.

My unspoken assumption was that anyone running it in Pathfinder would already have Kingmaker, so already has the encounter details and Pathfinder stat blocks. I wasn't intending to imply that an entire Pathfinder adventure path in playable form could be had for free at that link. The author's...

I don't think Paizo are making their business decisions out of pride and resentment, and I'm surprised you would suggest they are.

That's clearly the case with monsters. However, whilst probably no edition of D&D has used exactly the same rules for PCs and NPCs, the rules were very similar up until 4th edition, which was a massive change in the way NPCs were statted up. 5th edition dialled it back a lot, but the NPCs still...

I'm not sure if it is counts as "Necromancer" but Frog God Game's Hex Crawl Chronicles are available in Pathfinder format. They are by John Stater, who certainly knows his way around a hex map. (I assume they were originally written for a more "old-school" system and converted, however.) Over...

That's interesting. I've never played PFS, and am never likely to, but I can imagine what the reaction might be from the other players if you turn up with something "sub-optimal" which could get all their characters killed. My first ever D&D 3rd edition character was an Elf Sorcerer with the...

The two things are not mutually exclusive, unless you have an extremely broad definition of adventuring. However, I'll take that as a "yes".

I'm not sure I'd call it a patch. In my case, it is throwing out a major part of the rules-as-written in favour of something that I basically make up as I go along. The alternative would be not running Pathfinder at all. However, plenty of players prefer the GM to play by the rules and I'd be...

I'm not quite sure I follow your explanation. Does the gold effectively have to be wasted in order to gain XP? Also, does it matter how you got the gold in the first place (i.e. does it have to be from adventuring)? However, it doesn't really matter how mathematically rigorous or elegant your...

Yes it is. Other than that one comment this issue seems to have passed the Kickstarter by. I had an update this morning, which I thought might have been a clarification or apology or denial or, you know, something, but instead it was basically "what do you think about our elves?"

I had a look at my library on Drivethru and I don't have any of the company's products. However, it turns out I am a backer of the guy's latest kickstarter. When asked about it in the kickstarter comments (not by me) he says he is not behind the YRPGiS site and doesn't understand how the...

As I recall, they had subscribers but no magazine, so they pretty much had to transfer the subscribers over, or at least give the option to them (I have an idea they may have offered refunds as well - I'm not sure because I had cancelled my subscription by that point, because distribution issues...

As far as I can tell, the idea is that you buy the hardcover book, ignore the PF2 statblocks and substitute the appropriate 5e statblocks instead. I know next to nothing about PF2, and not much more about 5e, but this implies that converting the combat encounters between systems is...

Wands of CLW don't bother me in the slightest. If they did, I would ban them. What would bother me is a design paradigm that: * required 4 encounters per day, * every encounter needing to be a life or death struggle (most Paizo adventures have encounters against powerful opponents that won't...

That's certainly how I saw it at the time. You had the "3.5 Thrives" poster, the refusal to give fighters extra skill points, the dialing back of some of the innovations in the Beta. Of course, it turned out that there were dozens of tiny (and not so tiny) changes - we were still discovering...

Are you proposing they convert the whole of the adventure path in return for your ten dollars, or would it be ten dollars per instalment? Since (I assume) most of the monsters in Carrion Crown do not currently exist in 5th edition then they might as well release a 5e bestiary while they are at...
