I'm relatively new to Pathfinder, both as a player and DM, so please forgive my lack of knowledge regarding Paizo's (and 3rd party publisher's) catalog of modules and adventure paths. I'm usually one to write my own campaign arcs and adventures, but I've been doing that for a loooooong time...

If I remember correctly from the The Walking Dead comic, they refer to the zombies by two different types: Roamers and Lurkers - they can either walk to you because they're still capable of movement, or they have to lurk and wait for you to wander by because they can't move themselves. I get...

My biggest question would be why is this world completely subterranean? It sounds like, with the exception of the gravity issue, this world would function perfectly well as a standard terrestrial landscape. Is there a magical or scientific (or other) reason why everyone has retreated beneath...

Ghost Story, by Jim Butcher, is FINALLY in at the library, so I'll be picking that up to begin reading as soon as I complete REAMDE by Neal Stephenson.

Very cool. (And like you, I have a number of drum ornaments - rope tension marching snares mostly, but I have a full drum set as well. I need to find me a working bass drum ornament however!)

Academics Once proved an error in a math text book in 2nd grade. It's pretty much been downhill since then. Athletics Once pitched a perfect game in Little League. It's pretty much been downhill since then. Career Despite not exactly being cut out for the whole college thing, I've managed to...

Yup. That's how the computer virus in the book spreads - it's a file that the average person will mistake as "README" and then open, executing the virus code, which encrypts the victim's hard drive.

I'm currently reading REAMDE by Neil Stephenson. It's my first exposure to Stephenson, and I'm enjoying it so far. Enough that I'm considering tackling Anathem next, if my local library doesn't cough up my reserve on Ghost Story soon. Anyhoo, I'm about half way through it, and it's mostly...

Fair enough. I don't see it as retconning, but I can understand why someone else would. I've found that with 3.x/PF most experienced players who would be looking to go into a PrC have their build well mapped out in advance. In that case, it's not all that unreasonable to say that they've been...

I think this is where my interpretation of PC development differs drastically from most others - I don't see characters leveling up as them training new abilities, but as them finally having perfected the use of skills and techniques they've been working on all along. The fighter suddenly gets...

As per the text for the Permanency spell...no. You can make Invisibility permanent, but only if it's been cast on an object. Not a person. Sorry.

My monthly game has a penchant for not taking things too seriously, but we've really outdone ourselves for our next upcoming Pathfinder game. I'm usually the DM for this group, and we're all good friends, so they'll often make some fun requests, and I usually grant them. But this time, I'm...

Huzzah!

Yeah, we're usually a very beer-and-pretzels kind of game, so obviously the regular game-night drinking usually isn't a problem. I think for next year, I'm just going do to a straight up B-movie horror pastiche and assume things are going to go straight to hell and let the game accommodate for...

Thanks for the help and ideas everyone. Turns out, all my work and prep went for naught. One of my players showed up more than a little bit tipsy. Enough so, that I was left wondering how he drove there in the first place, and that he didn't drink much at all during the game. For the record...

Lots of baiting the PCs into bad situations, with readied actions. I like this, but I don't expect they'll fall for it more than once. But still a solid tactic. Thanks. Got that covered. I have a scene set up in Softrope that does nothing but cycle a creepy organ strain and randomly play an...

That's a great idea, but the carionettes are essentially intelligent "souls" living in an animated puppet. Their entire goal is take the body of a human adult and then dispose of their former puppet body (with the human's soul trapped inside) in such a way as to guarantee that the puppet body...

I think a tiny, animated, malicious puppet who wants to take over your body is plenty creepy. But I want to hammer that home for my players, who often tend to be of the "scorched earth" philosophy of gaming. But I like the idea of those carrionettes willing to serve as the cannon fodder...

In honor the upcoming Halloween holiday, I'm running the my (now) annual Ravenloft "Weekend-in-the-Mists" game for my regular group tonight. This year, I've decided to convert the old AD&D 2e module The Created for my players. We've elected to make 2nd-level characters for a one-off session...
