Not sure that this contributes but FWIW our group all purchased the first 3 core (7 of us in all). After a summer of 4E we realised it wasn't for us and we went back to 3.5 (now playing Pathfinder). However, that actually replicated our purchase pattern for all editions previous. We very rarely...

Try Tales from the Rusty Dragon Conversion of Rise of the Runelords adventure path. Can't vouch for the quality of the conversion (4E's not my thing) but it looks pretty comprehensive. I'm running RotR for my group at the moment (using PFRG) and we're having fun with it.

A fantastic piece of work. A much more user-friendly layout than than the official PRD.

4E marketing certainly worked for me. The chaps in my group pretty much raced each other to get the core books first and we were playing KotS with the preview rules (and a bit of the Red Hand of Doom fan conversion) before release. It turned out that 4E wasn't for us in the end but I don't...

We're using passive perception, bloodied. I'm thinking about action points.

Hmmm. AD&D/2nd have v positive memories associated with them. I guess that's nostalgia. They probably stank as systems but hey. Our group has always moved on as the editions have been released (since 1977) without really thinking too hard about it, but appreciating the overall improvements to...

...apart from the fact that there's loads missing :/

Another vote for HeroLab. Just installed the Pathfinder Core module and ready to go.

Got it. Skimmed it. Like it.

We switched from 4E to PF Beta and I'm running Rise of the Runelords - I can recommend. We'll switch to the final rules once we have the book (next week?). We're pretty casual gamers and tend to go with the flow. We flowed to 4E but didn't feel comfortable with the 'feel' (though as a set of...

$40.88 shipping to the UK - makes no sense either. I think it has to be FLGS for me (or Amazon £28.49 with free shipping, but not until September :()

Please, please no dressing up as elves. Half of me thinks that it won't matter how 'normal' you are, or articulate about the hobby. If they want to make a show about heavy-breathing geeks they will. BBC4 normally v balanced and intelligent though. Serious suggestion - most people enjoy...

I'm running RotR using the PFRPG beta and we're loving it. Great mix of episodic, chapter-based story with travel and locations to add a sense of movement and freshness along with sandboxy elements. No experience of the other APs I'm afraid.

And the more I smoke, the shorter my life gets, the more jokes I have to pack in to less and less time :) Nowadays I would always step outside though. As for beer... we pretty much only play in the pub now.

Maybe I should keep my guesses to myself :) That could get very nasty!

Hi All, I see Amazon has the PFRPG on pre-order for about £28, expected despatch date 1st Sep. I would rather get from a FLGS. Does anyone know when it will be available in local stores in the UK?

Hmmm.. the entry in the Bestiary isn't clear. I assume you won't run the doses in parallel - that would get very book-keepy. If you got a save (for the second bite) and you made it, would it stop the in-effect poison from the earlier bite I wonder? The (10) is definitely the round count for...

I think in the example above, the poison attacks once per round for 10 rounds as long as the target keeps failing saves (and the poison does CON damage, so you can get into a nasty spiral). A single save is enough to stop the horror.

Well, I was quite enjoying that slightly rambling conversation, which I think was really about the philosophy of encounter design, CR, player expectations and, you know, stuff, and not really about the Allip at all. I didn't realise we were being overseen by the scary font-master :)

OK. Understood (I think). But what makes you think PF is going to remove these traits from monsters (e.g. swarm behaviours)?
