    Dragon Age

    I don't think the setting of Dragon Age is uninspired. For me, it strikes a very good balance between the familiar and the inclusion of new twists (or combinations of old twists) and works very well. Plus, of course, the game is just purely excellent! :)

    Dragon Age

    Thanks for the preview! It looks fairly consistent with how things work in the computer version of Dragon Age - the differences there are being appropriate for a PnP ruleset. I hope the game is OGL and based on d20 (without the no-longer existent d20 license of course), since I don't...

    Dragon Age

    The Dragon Age computer game has been released and it is absolutely awesome - I highly recommend it for any RPG fan (you can check out deluxe edition with free swag for download here: http://www.direct2drive.com/8680/product/Buy-Dragon-Age:-Origins-Digital-Deluxe-Edition-Download) , but I recall...

    PFRPG Cavalier/Oracle classes are up

    Both classes are very nice and I don't have any major quibbles with either. One thing that needs some elaborating, however, is what happens when the Oracle abandons his/her focus/religion. I guess the way to treat this would be the same as when a Cleric abandons his religion, but it needs to be...

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    I am not surprised. In my own campaigns, much as I like 3E/3.5E, I refuse to DM the 3E/3.5E epic system... That said, I am consistently surprised at how you are able to run an amazingly epic game using these rules and even use the clunky mechanics as inspiration for flavor (e.g. the idea of...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Bestiary - Discussion

    He, he, he - pretty funny story. I can see how it could cause a problem, even if it didn't in this case. This is one of the reasons why I would advocate a system where each point in the stat changes the bonus. Of course, that is only hypothetically speaking, since it would be too much of a...

    It seems my initial thoughts were correct about the Adversary's new identity. :)

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Bestiary - Discussion

    This is awesome! I absolutely love it when names are taken or derived from real world religions or myths and legends. I too find this approach to naming to be far more agreeable than when designers/companies just pull names out of thin air - that simply has much less appeal.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Bestiary - Discussion

    I think this is unfortunate. At least nominal support through LA/ECL would have been nice. Oh well, hopefully, you will indeed return to this issue someday with a dedicated book.

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    So, Hummaz wouldn't, by any chance, formerly have be known as the Adversary? ;) On another note, this Uedi/Cheschne exchange seems ominous, depending on how one-sided it is: "one return; one stays" hopefully applies to Cheschne's servitors too, otherwise the viridescence will cosmologically...

    Thank you Sepulchrave! Whenever this epic story is updated, it always brightens my day! :)

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Bestiary Preview II

    Now that the Pathfinder RPG Bestiary Preview II has been released, does anybody have any thoughts about it? :)

    On the marketing of 4E

    Marketing played a role in my decision not to switch to 4E, but only to the extent that it previewed and highlighted changes and direction of game design that I did not like rather than due to the ineptitude of the marketing campaign. By the time 4E came out, I was sure I was not going to buy it...

    For me the metaphysics are part of the attraction to the story. :)

    Pathfinder 1E Would You Buy DDI-Pathfinder?

    Even though I am very supportive of Pathfinder, I would not subscribe to such a product. In fact, I don't subscribe to any 'software as a service' at all - no MMOs and so on. I would probably be willing to purchase a software product, if it was good, that did the things for Pathfinder that DDI...
