Designer notes for Devil Moon This is an attempt to create both plot device and complicated high CR creature. Given high DCs and non-standard large areas of creature abilities, one would assume higher CR... however this particular creature is relatively harmless (for this level) and potential...

The links Between Paizo's Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Reference Document and jreyst's Pathfinder SRD you have core rulebook, Game Master's Guide and Advanced Player's Guide at your fingertips. For offline version, you cannot go wrong with jreyst's Downloadable PDFs of Site Files. The changes...

Don't really know about prices, however based on Bill's words the following seems probable: - there will be print+pdf bundle, with pdf price being zero - the initial print of 500 books is going to be used to fund the next run As for supporting the book for supporting sake: don't. At this...

Here is a semi-relevant thought: There is a great game called Hot War by Contested Grounds Studios. The premise: you're playing a governments-sponsored survivor in a post-apocalyptic London of 60s. While this may not be of immediate help to you, the advice on portraying freeform adventure...

Start with a series of framed scenes. The best way to impress the mood onto characters is always through strong visuals. The framed scenes should be short and self-contained. Then just prepare a few random encounters, add several armed groups to the area to keep players on their toes and...

No, they did not give page count estimates aside from: - it's going to be bigger than Ptolus (600+ pages), - 750+ monsters, with each monster taking page, two pages or half a page. Regards, Ruemere

I find both Bestiaries to be indispensable. The former for default monsters, the latter because I find the creatures contained there to be of even higher quality. GMG and APG are optional. Core is a must. GMG NPC Gallery is very helpful, though you can get them online. Regards, Ruemere

Here are more details on the release of ToH Complete. Regards, Ruemere

Our friendly successors of Necromancers Games, FROG GOD GAMES, are releasing Tome of Horrors Complete Edition. As I have hunted high and low for more information, I happened on product release thread at Paizo forums with Bill Webb, Greg Vaughan and the Pale (Chuck Wright, the layout person for...

Unfortunately, White Wolf Game Studio hasn't given permission to anyone besides Fiery Dragon Games, who, unfortunately, opted to make a 4E version. The only shining beacon of hope is Pathfinder Compatible Tome of Horrors Complete, recently announced by guys from Frog God Games. Quite a few...

DISCLAIMER: The post is not meant to antagonize or patronize. This is just a list of basic solutions to basic high level issues. This is not good if you want to run high level session with no practical knowledge of pertinent rules [1]. And knowing core spells quite important. Still, it is...

PCGen Assembly of 14th level cleric: 3 minutes. Spells: picked at random (usually, following most optimal trend with mandatory daily buff list and quickened buffs): 10 minutes. Pathfinder NPC Gallery High Priest (13th level) with Simple Advanced Template: 1 minute. Tweak to suit your ends: 5...

Nice preview. However: 1. Nice background do not improve legibility. 2. Colorful graphic stats are not easily transferable into electronic media, not to mention they are not easy on printers. 3. Slight layout error (first line text indent after headers). It's still a nice preview. Regards...

(advice: avoid posting when you have fever) Written in response to my post: GM's chief benefit of the new system is that creating NPCs got much faster: - primary skill bonus? NPC level + 3 + Skill Focus (if any) + ability bonus In theory only. In practice creating on the spot multiclassed...

A few things bother me. Why did you try to talk the paladin out of his actions? His ideas may have been at odds with his code of conduct, but player's will should have been respected. If you introduce a hook, like that inevitable creature, you should accept consequences of player decisions...

Welcome to the boards. As for the new skill system, it's far superior to the one used under 3.x. It's simpler, less tied to class and contains fewer superfluous skills. It's not perfect though, as some skills are better than others: - Perception and Stealth rule supreme in terms of usability...

That's because 4E operates on different principles. 3.x (including PFRPG) strive to model reality while 4E tries to smooth the narrative part at the expense of needing to explain its abstractions later. The minion penalties (just like out-of-the-system bonuses for elites) need specific in-game...

(the post monster ate previous version of this post. I cannot salvage it so I need to write it all over again and so there may be some mistakes) My bias is that 4E ultimately reduces importance of a creature to hitpoints. Meaning, I do not like it and I do not think straight transplantation of...

For the record: I acknowledge that my views are not necessarily similar to yours. Nope. It's been a long time since I have read it over the course of single convention night - I admit I was actually riding a wave of anti-WWGS propaganda at that time and so my reading meant to confirm my...
