    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Lesson? Is one big honkin book intimidating?

    The only drawback to the 500+ page PF book is the poor binding that has my (seldom used) copy starting to pull away from it's own cover. The thing is barely 6 months old. Not impressed by that at all. A $50 book should be able to hold together much better than that. What is perplexing to...

    New edition coming? Cool? Not rounding out 4th's core set? Not cool.

    This is my feeling exactly. Epic Tier should have been about much more than doing another 100 points of damage a round. I figured, if any game I ran ever got past 20th, I would stop giving out XP and have the PCs become rulers of the world. Then they have much bigger things to worry about...

    Speeding up combat: have you tried to halve hit points?

    I reduced all monster defenses by 2, upped their damage a little (about +5 per hit) and avoided the use of elites. Most combats were quick and interesting.

    New edition coming? Cool? Not rounding out 4th's core set? Not cool.

    A single chapter out of a 200+ page book- so it wasn't focused on paragon campaigns?

    New edition coming? Cool? Not rounding out 4th's core set? Not cool.

    Was DMG 2 focused on Paragon tier? I didn't notice that when reading it. Also you shouldn't get angry about such little things. Bad for your stress levels.

    I will burn this place to ground. TO. THE. GROUND. *ahem* I mean - yeah sure pledge, whatever.;)

    OR both the NYT and Wizards not honouring the terms of the NDA.

    D&D 5E (2014) What big thing is supposed to be next week?

    I thought that had been cancelled? I was going to post that same link! To me the NYT article pretty much means it can't just be 5E. It looks more likely to be an MMO announcement to me too.

    The Guards at the Gate Quote

    Ah - the 'I don't want to understand this so I'll take it to a ludicrous extreme' internet meme. No wonder I ignored so many people back when this quote was making its rounds.

    WotC's Annual Xmas Layoffs

    What?! I was under the impression CoN was doing very well - it is favourably reviewed even on Eurogame loving boardgamegeek for gawd's sake! Talk about a case of 'what have you done for me lately'...

    Bakshi's LotR with new eyes

    Is this the one that ends with Gandalf throwing his sword in the air after the battle of Helm' Deep? Pass.

    Should Dumb Players Be Slapped?

    What do you mean 'should'? Are you saying dumb players aren't regularly being slapped by their DMs??!!!

    My DM just told me he fudges rolls....

    I....really think I would rather have a DM who fudged rolls than brought out the deus ex machina. Can't stand that stuff and it is sure to frustrate me faster than any amount of fudging I can think of. As to the OP - if you don't think you can overcome your problem with fudging (and the DM...

    More proof that British cuisine is horrid. Canadian isn't any better aside from our ample taco supplies!

    Brinkmanship

    Was he 10 years old or something? I can't imagine an adult doing something like this. And that ain't brinkmanship - that's just being a dick.

    What do your PCs do with prisoners?

    Depends. In the Kingmaker game I'm running I'd say about 90% of prisoners (former bandits) have been banished from the region for 1 year. One has been executed so far and another one recruited to help map the area. In past games prisoners, depending on how sad and pathetic I make them, have...

    Pathfinder 1E Is this supporting Paizo???

    Not to sound cold - but why should I care? If paizo is stupid enough to sell their own product at a loss (and I don't think they are) why would it be my business to make sure they are making money? Should I pay top $ just to make sure paizo gets their 'cut'? How ridiculous!
