Circle of 8 patch of the patch!!!! Well, for all you guys who are wondering whether your circle of 8 patch will work with the new official patch, WORRY NO LONGER. With speed and efficiency worthy of Atari QA people :D :p the circle of 8 guys have released another patch to work with the...

Definitely agree with Henry on this. Not much roleplaying but more "roll" playing. With a few exceptions its a straight dungeon crawl/combat tactics affair. I am not too far through but it is the original Pen & Paper Temple (which relied on the DM to put their own spin on any role playing or...

I believe you can get one through Kazaa file sharing. (Totally legitimately, in case you are throwing your hands up in righteous horror ;) ) So far I have not had any game destroying crashes, but I am using the Circle of 8 patch. I would definitely recommend the game, although it can be pretty...

As many here have already said- I went from heart attack on first seeing this crisis to leaping for joy with pride and general good tingly feelings about our whole community effort. 35 of your very fine American dollar thingies expeditiousally retreating from my account into the fight (well...

Sounds like the best plan. As for the mouse, I seem to get a slow mouse even when moving it on the current screen. It might be more accurate to describe it as having inertia, because it starts moving after I move the physical mouse and stops moving after I have already stopped. Its a bit...

It sounds like its a real "seat of your pants" experience. I tend not to reload in the case of bad hit points and failed scroll scribes anyway, but I take your point about :):):):)-ups which happen because you get distracted and don't have a friendly DM to remind you. And of course the computer...

Is Ironman more difficult in itself, then? I thought it was just that you couldn't do the old "try it, die, reload" routine.

I absolutely agree on all counts. Good point about the examples you quote of more difficult adventures to adapt. They were interesting concepts but I would have to go against my normal position that "Dungeon" adventures are easy to adapt in about 20 seconds with these. I liked them but, as you...

AFAIK it should be 3 (4 skill points at lvl 1 and 1 each for 2nd and 3rd levels=6. Cross class is halved, so 3 points methinks). Isn't there supposed to be an official patch out today?

Adaptability My current philosophy is to concentrate on the "cool adventure" part first, and the "how does this fit into a setting" part second. If the adventure is neat enough, I strongly believe people will make it fit. --Erik Absolutely agree with this, Erik. Not everyone wants the same...

Circle of 8 patch Being in Britain, I couldn't get the game until a couple of days ago and I am desperate to play but am put off by all the bugs etc. So, my question is this- if I install the Cof8 patch, what happens when the official patch is released? Would I be better off teasing myself ;)...

Generic vs setting specific Definitely praise and genuflections to the Dungeon lads and lasses for their shackled city path! On the setting specificity, or lack of it, I think the importance of this is over dramatised. I mean, does Cauldron really need to be in Greyhawk if you just change the...

Pcgen Sorry to be thick, but is PCGEN the updated version of the character creation demo we got in the version 3 Players Handbook? Or a different thing entirely? What do you guys think is the advantage of PCGEN over E-tools?

You are spot on-that's basically what they HAVE done in Elements of Magic. The result is much more free form, but (just on the reading- not playtesting) it seems a bit more work. It has great potential for livening up spellcasting but is quite a departure from the iconic character classes that...

Worldwide brotherhood of gamers I've just come across this fascinating thread. Its really nice to see that everyone is getting constructive at last and also that the folks at Paizo are obviously reading and taking notice. What disappointed me was the amount of personal animosity some people...

In common with some others, I got my refund cheque, too. I guess Morrus got his cheque because he's probably on their subscriber list even though he doesn't pay for it- the benefits of selflessly running this excellent web site! (I am such a creep). As for our European friends, I wouldn't...

Full marks to Tony for getting off his backside and taking this to Trading Standards. (Meant to do it myself but didn't have time). Nice to see some sort of explanation from Wizards, although no doubt different perspectives are available from the other side of the fence. Sounds to me like...

So, is the answer for us all to write to the distributor and allow them (no, request them) to give our details to Paizo? Unfortunately, though, it seems that Hasbro UK is effectively making off with our subscription balances, so I guess the distribution company will not want to cooperate and...

In many ways the worst thing about this whole fiasco is that no one bothered to tell us this was happening. With Dungeon magazine being bi-monthly, it took a while for me to realise that something had gone wrong. You would think the least they could have done would have been to inform us about...
