    Starfinder Starfinder Blasts Off!

    How is the binding on the book? The binding on my PF core rules fell apart pretty quickly... especially considering how little use it got. Regardless, I am in for a copy of this, and the Alien Archive, and the 1st part of the AP at a minimum. Just hoping it doesn't fall apart quickly.

    D&D 5E (2014) Resting and the frikkin' Elephant in the Room

    I agree. This is a completely contrived issue that has a simple solution (to a non-issue) that he is rejecting for a inane reason. This "resting" issue has not been an issue for our group. I guess my group tends to feel a sense of urgency... or at least responsibility to the story. They are...

    RPG Crowdfunding News 052: The Lost Citadel, Ebonclad, The Chapel on the Cliffs, Tale of the Wizard’

    Still haven't seen any mention of Mike Schley's kickstarter. Maybe I missed it in another article. It's apparently going to be the first in a series and will serve as a base of operations for future adventures. I am backing it to see what he does with it in the future and based on the...

    RPG Crowdfunding News 052: The Lost Citadel, Ebonclad, The Chapel on the Cliffs, Tale of the Wizard’

    I'll probably take a closer look at this one before it ends. I am with you on the add-ons. The only ones of interest to me are the poster map and the GM screen. I would rather see adventures or other supplements that are directly usable in gaming as opposed to novels and sound tracks. I...

    Kickstarter Mike Schley Kickstarter

    I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so thought I would post a link to it. The one and only Mike Schley has launched a kickstarter project. In case you haven't heard of him, he is an (in)famous cartographer who has done many maps for D&D and other RPGs. You can check out some of his incredible...

    Full Power To The Plasma Cannons: Demoing Starfinder Combat At The UK Games Expo

    TotM? Theater of the Mind? I (and my group) have little interest in this. In fact, this is why we have abandoned FFG Star Wars and the new Star Trek. They are basically 100% TotM and it feels like they dropped the ball on combat mechanics. They put so much work into the system and then...

    Full Power To The Plasma Cannons: Demoing Starfinder Combat At The UK Games Expo

    I could see the ship to ship combat feeling like a board game. But, I bet the person to person combat will feel closer to classic Pathfinder... albeit primarily with ranged weapons. Not sure how much ship to ship we'll do. I don't see my group being that interested in ship to ship. We'll see...

    Map! Forest Keep Available Now!

    I'll check this out. You should think about adding descriptions of the buildings and NPCs. You probably already have ideas about those and people can use those descriptions or not... but, always nice to have. UPDATE: When I say descriptions of NPCs, I am just talking about flavor text. I...

    RPG Crowdfunding News 051: The Happiest Apocalypse on Earth, SideQuests, Cthulhu Dark, Monarchies of

    There are so many good kickstarters lately. I am having to be more selective in which I back. Not always an easy choice. I will most likely back Monarchies of Mau, as I backed Pugmire. I am also backing a kickstarter which wasn't mentioned: Dark Surges, which is the 2nd part to a 5e...

    Darkness Surges - An Asatania Campaign Arc for 5E (last 24 hours)

    Less than 24 hours left for this 5e campaign. I am a backer of the first campaign KS and this one. Please check it out. I have read about half of the first campaign, and think it is quite good: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/298854994/darkness-surges-the-second-asatania-campaign-arc-f/

    Starfinder Starfinder News From PaizoCon - Core Rulebook, Races, Guns, Alien Archive

    After buying the core Star Wars FFG books and a number of adventures, we gave up on it after one session. The range bands killed it for us. We are looking forward to Starfinder. I doubt they'll go down that range band path.

    [UPDATED] Here's Mike Mearls' New D&D 5E Initiative System

    Back in the 80s, we used our own initiative system that was continuous, based on segments. It was pretty simple, but I don't remember exactly how we did it. It was something like d10 + weapon speed - dex mod would give you the segment on which you attacked. After you attacked, you would roll...

    Pathfinder's On Fantasy Grounds

    Well, that was fairly painless ;) Who would have thought to look under Help when they needed help?!? I am all sync'ed up now. Thanks.

    Pathfinder's On Fantasy Grounds

    How does Fantasy Grounds know which PDFs you have purchased from Paizo? Is there a way to link your accounts?

    Pathfinder's On Fantasy Grounds

    It's nice that they are giving discounts to people who own the PDFs. I am guessing that you have to have bought the PDF through them? I bought a number of PDFs through Paizo, and picked up a bunch more via a humble bundle. Can't remember if the humble bundled added the PDFs to my Paizo account...

    O.L.D., The Medieval Fantasy WOIN Hardcover, Is Here!

    The magic system does sound pretty cool. Hopefully I'll be able to check this out over the summer.

    New DM Screen Coming In September

    Interesting. I finally bought the current one about 2 weeks ago. This one doesn't look to be that much different. I can make out the middle 2 panels, but not so much the other 2.

    Starfinder Here's the cover of INCIDENT AT ABSALOM STATION, the first adventure in Starfinder's DEAD SUNS AP!

    Selling a lot of product has worked well for Paizo for quite a while. I even bought a fair amount of Pathfinder material, even though we barely played it. They don't need to release rules supplements on an accelerated schedule. But, I think only having 1 adventure ready when the product...

    Starfinder Here's the cover of INCIDENT AT ABSALOM STATION, the first adventure in Starfinder's DEAD SUNS AP!

    I hope they release other adventures for Starfinder in addition to the APs. Keep in mind, that a slower schedule is probably fine for Pathfinder, as there is already tons of material available. However, Starfinder is brand new. There is no other content at the moment. What if the first AP...

    News Digest: International Tabletop Day, Fallout Comes to Miniature Gaming, Mensa Select Winners Ann

    Shipping wasn't charged during the kickstarter. It was charged during backer kit and ended up being pretty expensive. For US, it wasn't too bad ($14 shipping for a $35 product)... but international was quite expensive. I guess they estimated international shipping in the FAQ. But, apparently...
