This is only true if you subscribe to them. If you buy the books ad-hoc (like I do), you have to pay for the book and PDF separately even when you purchase the book through Paizo. That said, I LOVE that Paizo publishes PDFs and I love even more that they update the PDFs with errata and let you...

That's a great review/unboxing! It almost makes me want to get the Beginner Box even though I already have the regular books :)

Yes, perhaps a better way to begin the campaign would have been to make the PCs' meeting part of their character history. This arrest issue could have already happened and the player is on trial with the other PCs observing or something of that sort. Or simply have the entire trial and...

I use group XP because it's faster and less subjective. I also feel like it encourages more cooperation and disincentivizes upstaging other characters or players. I also allow absent players to get full XP because I like to have everyone at the exact same level so there are no obviously weaker...

Facebook still claims there are 12 recommendations, but only 3 are public, and they're the positive ones. There's always Yelp... ;)

That's ridiculous. Instead of apologizing and offered to transfer at domains to you, they're threatening to sue for "libel" because you pointed out what they did. I am not a lawyer, but I say screw 'em. It sounds like you have a much better case for them violating ICANN's policy and the...

I think the main point of the game is to have fun. Can the friend deal with your game and still have fun more often than not? Can you adjust your game so situations where this person is the decision maker are more "obvious" and still have fun yourself? Would you have more fun not adjusting...

I don't see it so they're either very quick or the page moderates posts so they have to approve them first or something.

If one of the PCs should know better based on information they've learned or been given, then I may remind them of that before they engage in acts of epic stupidity. I consider it somewhat akin to reminding a player of a rule they are misapplying. That said, if the stupid idea is something...

That is mighty unfriendly. One problem with picking a name similar to one of the ones they've registered is that they could redirect traffic from people who meant to go to your friend's site to their own. I would just make sure that your friend point out how awful this Hillside place is...

Wow, that's pretty terrible.

I don't hide my gaming, but I don't evangelize a whole lot. There are photos of me gaming on Facebook which all of my friends and coworkers (and boss) can see. It doesn't really bother me and I don't understand what makes playing an RPG all that different from doing any other activity with my...

This would also be great.

I'm excited to see this, and am also rooting for it being edition agnostic.

I meant the biggest seller for a defined period of time (like the 2011 holiday season when it had just come out), not in the history of Paizo :)

2nd Edition AD&D was definitely not tactical in the same respect that 3.0+ are. There was no real reason from a rules perspective to use a grid during battle. There was no AoO in 2E (it was introduced later as an option, but not as a core rule). Flanking also wasn't strictly codified and...

Water Bob's tree-climbing example is great. I played 2E AD&D and recently returned to the game to GM for Pathfinder. I'm lucky that most of my players know the rules less than I do and they're willing to accept my made-up-on-the-spot house rules for various combat scenarios. That said, using...

I suspect the Beginner Box may have had something to do with it. People can now start playing Pathfinder after only a single purchase, and that's a big draw. I think Paizo said at one point that it was their biggest selling item.

Race is and should be important. You destroy the fluff of a given race if you rip out the bonuses/abilities/penalties associated with the various races. A -2 to a certain ability score isn't going to stop a determined player from playing the class s/he wants to. D&D is about role playing...

When did you download it (and I assume you got it through Paizo's store)? I tried last night and this morning and both files crashed Hero Lab with the same error when I attempted to load them. I have all the Wolf Lair expansions for Pathfinder and also use the d20pfsrd Community Beastiary...
