    Review: The Slumbering Tsar Saga

    This is a classic. And to think that it was probably intended to be released for 4E... Regards, Ruemere

    D&D 3.5 Reprints in September?

    Is it April the 1st already? Weird. Seriously weird - to what purpose WotC would print an obsolete version of the system (yes, I know that there are people out there who still play 3.5 instead of its several descendants but the numbers should not be sufficient to justify an entirely new...

    Kingmaker in the Scarred Lands

    Easy peasy. You'll need to do some homework (Ghelspad Hardcover recommended) and remember to twist creatures a bit - Golarion's a fairy tale compared to darker corners of Ghelspad. Possible locations: 1. Badlands north of King Virduk's Hegemony, with Mormo's Womb playing the role of magic...

    Review of The Breaking of Forstor Nagar by Rite Publishing

    It is worth mentioning that the adventure "little sandboxes" are dynamic, changing over the course of an encounter. This is not a quasi-static dungeon. The other aspect I loved, is that of resource management - the PCs, in more than one case, need to plan their actions, and do the planning on...

    Pathfinder 1E PC power in Pathfinder

    Answering in order: - yes, some classes got stronger than others. Still, there are power combos from 3.5 which remain unsurpassed to this day. - yes, APG is a step up albeit only for very specific setups. Apart from this, APG is all about options, and if your players desire break from...

    EN Publishing Blog: ZEITGEIST, Pathfinder, and Alien Madness

    Thank you for the answer, I'm a little more in the clear now. That said, using Will save to leverage a whole new class of monsters against players still seems tad unfriendly with regard to spell-less classes. Secondly, you say that there are spells to deal with encounter aftermath. Again, this...

    EN Publishing Blog: ZEITGEIST, Pathfinder, and Alien Madness

    Very interesting. Let me ask a few questions: 1. Are there any in-game remedies for insanities gained from failed saves? Is there a way to avoid making PCs become insane cripples? 2. Is there a way for level the playing field for characters who do not have strong Will save? In other words...

    Pathfinder 1E Are you a Pathfinder expert?

    Tovec, My players include: a lawyer, an accomplished scientist, a guy who works with clinical research data and ex-moderator for one of largest social/news portals in my country. I needed to learn to defend my rulings bloody well and in a socially acceptable way ;). (apologies for derailing...

    Pathfinder 1E Are you a Pathfinder expert?

    Your question can be trimmed down to: - should I treat domain spell slots differently from normal spell slots? - if so, may I prepare metamagicked domain spells in domain spell slots? To determine answers to your questions, there are three places in Pathfinder PRD document to check: - class...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Online MMORPG Announced

    That remains to be seen. It is possible to create indie games nowadays for a fraction of cost of heavy-weight brutes. It is also possible to purchase assets to avoid starting from scratch. In my opinion, Ryan is a visionary. He's also a skilled manager. He is likely to come up with something...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Online MMORPG Announced

    A few musings. TIME LINE MMORPG development cycle lasts at least about two years. Larger companies, like Blizzard or ArenaNet (too many MMORPGs to list here) can afford 4-5 years. Smaller companies, like Runic Games (guys behind Torchlight) had to get financing (bought off by PerfectWorld...

    10 Facts about Tome of Horrors, Complete, and Frog God Games

    Yes, that's my recollection too, however I tend not to trust my memory too much. All I remember now is that Clark said once that they beat MM to GenCon. Regarding delivery - I guess I'm very lucky. My book arrived several days ago, and I live in Poland. I was expecting it at least fifteen days...

    Fixing the Monk Class

    Stripped to bare bones, d20 monk is a lightly armored, weaponless melee fighter with enhanced mobility. And it plays like one - you need to get close to opponents, you have problems with taking advantage of magic items because tools of your trade mimic fighter's, only they are rarer, costlier...

    Closing the Rotating Door of Death

    If you're "closing revolving door of death" you're also telling your front-line characters to switch to casters (or at least middle liners). In my experience, it's the front-liners who get to die most often - take criticals and spells to the face, get stomped into ground by CR equivalent...

    Order of the Stick 785

    It is quite possible that Ganji is going to be smelling daisies from below in a few days... or perhaps there is yet aerial contingency to be experienced. Regards, Ruemere
