We can overcome economic struggles... (= I have faith in ENWorld as a customer base, hah!

Sorry, forgot the point buy system changed a bit. 20 is good buy--your players will be pleased and their characters will be solid, but not 4th edition definition of "Heroic." ;)

What about a community-built world? List what modules/sections/areas need to be written up, take submissions, and then have a core team (staff/volunteers, and, of course, writers of the AP) review to make sure it all fits stylistically and thematically? Might not have the same polish in its...

It's an intriguing setting so far--I'd buy it, even if I end up not running Zeitgeist AP. I'd enjoy exploring this world.

Tangent... just the other night we were commenting, as we wrapped up a Pathfinder session, that we love how quickly we blow through un-important combat encounters in PF (as in, clearing out the tower's first floor) to leave time for story, adventure, traps, RP, and the big bad combats. I just...

My group typically does 4d6 drop lowest... we're kind of throwbacks like that. I'd do 28... maybe 32. Depends on how experienced your players are. Bonus HP wouldn't hurt, though max HD + con mod is pretty generous in PF, as the HD went up for most classes between 3.5 and PF.

Hi all, I'm hoping there is a good number of N Texas gamers on here... I'm considering starting up some Pathfinder Society in the Grapevine area. I live in the north end of Keller, and have been to Area 51 a few times to buy books, dice, etc. Have only seen 4e being played there. Anyway, is...

Also, if his alignment changes, he can't take divine healing ;) (Yeah, I'm assuming your healer is of an opposing alignment... they typically are, after all...) Even if he (somehow) keeps this character alive, he'll be on his own for healing.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think I'll plan to run Master of the Fallen Fortress... it's pretty close to the right length already. If we get another session in, I'll tie it in to some of the Pathfinder Society modules. Everflame looks great--that's going in my back pocket for later ;)

Thanks... I think if this were a one-off for just an experienced group, we'd go for it. But, with the nephew of our DM playing for the first time ever, it needs to be something more traditional ;) (Also, the DMs wife and I are experienced players but my wife is a novice, so a Goblin-PC game is...

Hey all, I've played my fair chunk of different systems, but I've only ever DM/GM'd 4th edition D&D and Dark Heresy. (Oh, and Kobolds Ate My Baby... but that's not really a DM-able game ;) ) So, for my first Pathfinder/3.x DM experience, I'm going to be running a one-shot as relief for my DM...

I rarely sell books, especially RPG ones. The only RPG related materials I've ever sold were the MM and DMG for 4th edition, when I decided I didn't want to DM it ever again. (Kept the PHB just in case.) So yeah, I think this is a personal question. Mercurius gives good advice on looking at...

I'll have to second gideonpepys -- TALK with the group. After playing a lot with the same people, it never hurts to just take 15 or 30 minutes to say "Hey, what do you guys enjoy about the style of games we play? What do you want to try that we haven't?" Maybe you'll find they surprise you and...

As was stated above, I only have players roll initiative when I NEED to know the order of action. Most of the time, I expect my players to be orderly enough to take turns anyway or to sit back when they are not acting and minuscule-scale timelines don't matter. One of my favourite time-saving...

Just read the intro and started into Act One. Really good stuff so far! When does this come out in print? I love PDFs but if I run this I'd want it bound and in my hands! ;)

I am very intrigued by this concept. I've often schemed up a game based on a tv show or film or book... but never have the guts to run it. And I enjoyed Lost. At least, until the last two seasons. I stuck it out just to see what would happen and was underwhelmed by the finale, of course. So...

Thanks for all the advice, everyone. Thankfully I've introduced people to RPGs before, just never one so new to gaming in general. (Usually it's video gamers, TCG players, or just nerds in general.) My wife LOVES a good story in a book or film, but hasn't done much interactive storytelling yet...

I've been to Area 51 a couple of times back when I first moved to DFW... had a good experience over all but didn't have time to go a lot. Is there any support there for non-4E and non-D&D gaming? I know they have a huge Magic and tabletop emphasis. Last time I went in I didn't see any RPG books...

That's some great advice, thanks. Thankfully the first session we did play my wife was able to learn the core mechanic and only a very little bit of combat. The combat was smooth and easy and she got some great rolls, so it was encouraging. We did a lot with skills, and RP, too...
