Best thing? It plays just like 3E Worse thing? It plays just like 3E

I'll say the Giants! Because they just did :p

I'd love to hear how the LG gets along with the CE. I have never had such polar opposites in the same group before. Does one hide his/her alignment from the other? Constant bickering? Good natured heckling?

Current group LN LN NG NG CG We also had a N PC but the player had to quit due to real life time constraints. This is the first time I've had 2 LNs in a group. Most often, in my groups, people take NG or CG. I myself prefer LG or CG. We had one player run a LE monk and he was excellent at...

Way back in Dragon magazines #58-62 Roger Moore wrote a series of articles dealing with the major demi-human races (Elves, Dwarfs, Halflings, Gnomes and Half-Orcs) that was simply outstanding. The whole series was later reprinted in BEst of Dragon Vol III. He really got into the motivations...

About the only 3 classes I can even moderately support alignment restrictions for would be Assassin - non-good. I just can't figure out a way for someone to be good (even CG) and kill people for money - even really bad people. Maybe a demon/undead assassin? Just seems like there are better...

Gotta say Steel_Wind - your experiences mirror mine almost perfectly. Love the flip mats only so-so on the map packs. I am interested to hear that the map packs now have the same coating as the flip mats to allow wet.dry erase markers! I thought the mine pack looked awesome (and given I'm...

Will it have special barding and shoes for my whinny clopper

I have six or seven of them so far and I think they're great! Once someone told me that you can use wet or dry erase markers on them I was sold. I use the pre-printed side for many different things (throw on a Dungeon Tile to make it look different each time) and the blank sides give a great...

Authentic? Authentic Frontier Gibberish - YouTube

Heh. I remember that going on. Of course everyone seemed to forget that names like Macetail Behemoth started appearing in MM II in 3E. Who said anything about facts? I try to imagine a name people would give to a 20 foot tall bird-lizard with tiny forearms and a head the size of a wagon...

Hmmm Axe of the Dwarfish Lords in this Orc lair? The party's only 3rd level but oh well... ;) Not the biggest fan of random tables but I use them once in a while to mix things up a bit. 2nd level PCs get REALLY into the game when 3 trolls appear on the horizon!

See succubus, chimera, medusa - those were names given to fantasy creatures by latin/greek/whatever writers and storytellers and sound like it. Tyranosaurus Rex sounds like it was named by a committee of scientists. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything - this is my opinion and...

I started a PF game back in September and have played about 10 sessions since then. Before that I ran 3 4E campaigns to various levels and played in 2 others. Most of my group was pretty pro 4E but were willing to try PF. The first thing that got changed was the 1-2-1-2 diagonal movement...

Yup! I agree they should have changed the spiketail behemoth (they couldn't come up with something other than 'behemoth' - buy a thesaurus!) to something else but the macetail is just fine to me. The latin stuff has no place in my fantasy games and actually drags people out of immersion, imo.

D'oh! I knew that too - shouldn't be posting on 4 hours sleep!

I personally would love to see PF (and D&D) do away with the latin naming conventions of dinosaurs. 'Thunder Lizard' sounds 10X cooler than Tyranosaurus Rex :p

So far we're pretty pleased with the Psion(telepath) that one player is playing in my Kingmaker campaign. He is using a 3E Elan as a race (actually a lone 'one-off' creation by a long dead race, he's been alive for 100's of years yet only has spotty memories (and abilities) of that entire...

I agree - the black dragon is the best large dragon mini I've got. Too bad it is supposed to be huge. This thing is half the size of every huge dragon mini I own (which is all of them produced by WotC) with the sole exception of the huge green of which is it only about 25% smaller. A damn...

I feel the same. I only have a couple of these so far (Orc, Specter and Black Dragon) and the Orc & BD seem fragile to me. I know the old WotC minis weren't the best quality re: paint & sculpt but they sure could take a beating. I only have 1 mini that has broken over the years (a succubus...
