    This is why it's good to get the guards on your side. Not so easy for the villains to escape when there's dozens searching for them instead of the usual half dozen or less of an adventuring party.

    Let the adventure path-ing begin!

    This is why I've not bought any APs myself. I like designing my own adventures. But since I got it for my birthday, I hope this turns out enjoyable.

    OotS 811

    Check this page: OotS 724 Nale killed three of Malack's Children. Hence "How's the family" being quite a bad choice of words.

    Connected Compasses (kind of)

    Hum, we've got several several PCs with decent Survival skills, so out at sea is the only place we'd really get to use it like that I think.

    OotS 811

    He's said once that he doesn't. Part of it was because when he sees someone correctly predict what's going to happen next he gets an urge to change it.

    Connected Compasses (kind of)

    Nice, I hadn't even thought of that. They're about a size that fits into the palm of an average human's hand, and vaguely flat, so that could work well. Well, we're not really an evil group, but it could still be useful if we ever manage to trick a villain or two.

    Let the adventure path-ing begin!

    Last night I got the first part of Pathfinder's Jade Regent as one of my (belated) birthday presents. This is the first adventure path I've ever owned, and it looks pretty interesting. So before I run it, I was wondering what I can expect, not from Jade Regent specifically, but from an...

    Given that I like X, it's strange that I never play Y

    I find that in video games I prefer the mage or range type characters more than I prefer running up to someone and hitting them with a big sword. So my lack of wizard/sorcerer PCs has been odd. I've only done one of each, and the Wizard was dead before he hit 2nd level, so I didn't get much...

    Connected Compasses (kind of)

    Hey hey. I and my party just found a new magic item (or maybe it's considered a pair of magic items... I dunno) and we're trying to brainstorm creative uses of them. What we have is essentially a pair of compasses that point at each other instead of north. When they're together they act kind of...

    What would you do during a Bad Guy Attack

    I would run for sure. Or maybe break down in panicked crying. Actually yeah, I'd almost certainly break down in panicked crying. A hero I am not.

    How do I make tiny animated dolls super creepy?

    Small things being super stealthy is their biggest advantage, intelligent and well thought out hit and run tactics are the best ways to make players fear them. They attack unseen in the night from rooftops and other high or dark places, they flee just as quickly through escape routes too small...

    What was your first RPG experience if it WASN'T D&D?

    I started on White Wolf; Werewolf the Apocalypse. The friend who introduced me was a big werewolf fan. He turned me off the game though. His and the next WoD ST I had populated their entire verse with nothing but jerks, so for a while I thought that WoD required NPCs to be :):):):)s to the PCs...

    How do I make tiny animated dolls super creepy?

    Wait, you need to do something to tiny living dolls to make them creepy? They're kind of pretty freaky on their own. Alright well, one way that tiny things can be scary: When they hide on a shelf or chandelier and jump down on your face when you walk below. Make the players scared to walk...

    The Ugly Crew

    Their logic that they're being forced into 7 Cha by the 15 point-buy is kind of off. My current group has a 14, two 16s , and an 18 (and yeah, one 7) in the Cha department using 15 point-buy and it works. Of course it's up to them who their characters are though. If every character does it I'd...

    Wooh! Go Malack! Geez, this makes me want to play a cleric again. Haven't played one since my first character ever... But I just started a new rogue. Oh the dilemmas...

    How much damage can I take by running headfirst into a wall?

    Eventually though you'd be running at full speed and the extra feet beyond what it took to reach that point would mean nothing as far as damage goes. How long does it take to get up to full speed at a run. Probably only 20 or 30 feet.

    I'd like to add one of Elan's trademark lines to that last panel: dun dun DUN!!!!

    Birthday celebration games?

    This topic was inspired by the similar one about annual Halloween games, and by the fact that today is my own birthday. Do you do anything special in game on your birthday, or on the birthdays of the other players or the DM? My new DM declares each player's birthday to be their one day of the...

    Don't love your villains (or "How I screwed up, and how I fixed it")

    They knew she specifically wanted the sword to power a golem... And so they decided to stick it into the one inactive golem (thus the one in need of being "powered") that they find? I'd say they had some warning there. Certainly that's not a "we had no way of knowing" situation. Still, it...

    Background Brainstorming Exercise

    Gnome Illusionist Zinzindin had always had hoped that one day he would die extravagantly. Eventually he got sick of waiting and faked his own death with instructions for a lavish funeral. Once he was "dead" though, he realized it wasn't all he'd hoped it would be, and promptly decided to return...
