Last night my university had its annual D&D day, and I got to try something new. Or rather, old. Specifically, AD&D 1e. It was quite an experience for me. Being mostly a Pathfinder GM with some playing experience, as well as one or two forays into 4e, this was a big change. I was one of the...

Whenever Magic does something new, all the shipments of D&D and Pathfinder stuff at my FLGS gets delayed by 2 weeks. Always 2 weeks exactly. This news kind of helps explain why that happens. Still not happy about it though...

Nice timing on posting this thread. I've been adding up my hours for the past week (playing, designing, and looking up rules and things as much as I always do). 48 from the beginning of the month to now, and that's not even a full week yet. I'll probably get at least another 6 hours in tonight...

What was supposed to be a difficult fight turns into a cakewalk when the summoner has 50+ augmented summoned creatures swarming all over the enemy/enemies. Low to-hit bonus or not, when there's that many attacks several will sneak in every round no matter how tough the enemy, and when there's...

And master summoners. Oh gods those master summoners can be terrifying.

Ooooooh, tomb-fortress! We know where the order's going eventually!

I like my sinks, generally, so... Exactly at that moment you just described. Muh? What's wrong with Pixies? I think an actual too far would be if someone wanted to play a swarm, or have a Tarrasque PC in an otherwise normal group, or other such really over the top things. When I GM I tend...

I've seen "I rolled a 17, does the guard let me pass?" "What were you rolling to do?" "Is a 17 plus my diplomacy enough to get me past?" "No." "How about 17 plus my bluff?" "It probably would be depending on his sense motive." "Then I was rolling to bluff my way past." "You're supposed to...

I like my elves living at the north pole and making free toys.

My group basically does a reverse to the "say something, roll for it, then see if it works" method. Basically what happens is the player rolls first, and then roleplays their dialogue either well or poorly depending on the result of the roll. It works quite well, bonuses for good roleplay still...

You Scored as Method Actor You think that gaming is a form of creative expression. You may view rules as, at best, a necessary evil, preferring sessions where the dice never come out of the bag. You enjoy situations that test or deepen your character's personality traits. Method Actor 92%...

About 10 other owls are there for the first 1d3 rounds, but they flee through the roof and don't participate in the fight. Orris is essentially scared, seeing everyone as enemies, and believing he has to protect the other owls. Thus he challenges the PCs alone. I thought Flyby Attack might be a...

Hey there, I'm looking for some opinion on this NPC who I've built for the end of a dungeon (of sorts) in an adventure I'm working on. He's a lot more complicated, stat-wise, than most NPCs I've made so I figured it'd be a good idea to post him up. Both for opinions and because others might spot...

Anyone notice that Jirix is missing his headband in the second last panel?

In addition to the playing/GMing stuff I mentioned earlier, I'm now working on designing an adventure. This one's just meant for my players, but of course it's also to give me practice in writing bigger adventures that fit a more official style. So I'm structuring it similar to Pathfinder APs...

I can't comment on the other books being used since I don't know them (I'm sure there'll be people in here who do before too long), but as for what I quoted... Don't just wish. You're the GM, so make it happen. You're a part of this game too. If they're making it not fun for you then either...

I'd agree with that order of Bestiaries. I've actually been getting more use out of 3 than 1 lately, but I can't deny that the 1st one has the most classics. 2 is probably the least useful, but there are still lots of neat options in there. I'm especially a fan of a lot of the monster as PC...

Lost a guest PC today. He was a 5th level Pathfinder Ranger, only joining us for one session (the player used to belong to the group, moved away, and then came back for a visit last week and played). We had just rescued a trio of NPCs who were being hunted down by the local thieves guild, and...

I'm currently running two groups through the Pathfinder AP Jade Regent. One is in the first book of six and the PCs have recently reached 2nd level. The second group is in the third of six books and most of the PCs are one encounter away from 8th level. I'm currently playing a 5th level bard...

Ah. Well, I'm a girl as is most of my group. The only guy player is already dating one of the others. So not sure if that applies. (And I also already have a girlfriend too for that matter. She is aware of that.)
