Yes, thanks indeed for those two adventures. I also got a lot of mileage out of those two Planescape adventures!

That that was a very effective video/art montage and choice of music. Looking forward to eventually seeing a Pathfinder version if that happens down the road! Speaking of the music, what was that classical piece? I feel like I ought to know - it's certainly very familiar.

The first Pathfinder Adventure Path (Rise of the Rune Lords) had a few adventures with horror elements near the start of the series including a small twist. As others have said, the latest series, Carrion Crown, is dealing specifically with horror themes.

I'm curious why they've stopped including the pregens in the Adventure Paths. I kind of liked having them there as a rough gauge as to expected power level/characters/items for running the adventures. It was also nice to be able to grab one of them if I wanted to add an NPC to a group because...

The stand-out published adventures that I've run to the enjoyment of my players would have been the AD&D "Against the Giants" series and adventures from Planescape : The Eternal Boundary, and Harbinger House in 2E times. Although there have been more great adventures that I've run (1E. 2E...

Indeed! I'm curious about how much of the WoTC D&D hobby channel sales for Q4 were the Essentials Starter Game. I'm guessing the product did well in the Christmas run-up. If you look at the Amazon RPG game list (yes, I know that's not the same as the hobby channel), it is consistently in the...

Not really. It's more like the kids who owned the Harry Potter books decided they didn't like the books anymore and burned them. It might be a bit silly, but it's not really all that sinister. On an aside, I've never actually burned any notes or books. I did eventually start recycling my...

Blind frothing rage? I think you're making mountains out of mole-hills. I don't think you can take it too seriously. It reminds me of the tradition some people have of burning their notes when they graduate - sort of a rite of passage - rather than a full blown case of Fahrenheit 451. Or...

I've been checking the Amazon list several times a week for almost two months now and I have only seen Pathfinder not on top once in that period - the Essentials/Red Box was on top that one time. Initially it was the Bestiary 2 on top with the Core rules and Advanced Players Guide rounding out...

I wouldn't worry too much about the AC. AC 15 is fine for a 2nd level character. If you go with dodge as a feat that will help some. The -1 Armor Check penalty is a drag though, but if you view your character more as a bruiser than a finesse character it probably works out. The one thing I...

I'd be inclined to just play and figure things out, but some feats to consider for the rogue portion of the character are those that let you move more easily around the encounters so you can better set up flanking opportunities. So things like dodge and mobility (and eventually spring attack)...

You could borrow something like the Shingle Runner feat from Paizo's 'Curse of the Crimson Throne' and instead apply it the tree goblins. From the d20 Pathfinder SRD : Shingle Runner - Pathfinder_OGC

The News page was the only thing I looked at for the first few years I came to En-World. Now the forums are the stronger draw, but I still go to the news page first before checking the forums. I think I would sorely miss the news page as it's where I get a lot of RPG related news, even if some...

I had similar issues from time to time with Dragon and Dungeon, but every time I did not receive an issue I'd let Paizo customer support know and they'd send me the missing issue with no questions asked. I actually ended up with double copies of a few issues because I'd assume the issue was...

Excuse me? The only reason for being in business is for profit? Sure, I agree that if you are always losing money you won't stay in business long, but there are many other factors that make people go into business (and stay in business) than just profit. If profit is all that is important...

I got stuck in an infinite loop of repeating questions. Guess I'm undecided.

If Paizo they had become heavily invested in 4E via a 4E OGL, then they would be less likely to suddenly change tack. If the the OGL 4E market share was declining sharply and people were clamouring for 3E support, then sure, they might start to slowly change course doing a few OGL things at...

I don't think the employees of WotC made the initial OGL out of personal self-interest. WotC believed (rightly) that the OGL would create a huge ecosystem with themselves at the centre of it and they profited from it. Sure, some of those at WoTC back when the OGL was created believed that...

Have always liked Ravenloft and collected most of the setting supplements and adventures, but mostly I plundered it for bits and pieces which I included in other games. I did get a fair bit of repeat use out of the Nightmare Lands 2E box set, most often as part of Planescape games (both 2E and 3E).

Only 3 years for the current group (playing Pathfinder). Before that, the previous group lasted 27 years although there was much attrition over the years due mostly to people moving away. There was the occasional recruitment of new members who also tended to eventually move away. The group...
