    Pathfinder 1E Roll Call: The Pathfinder RPG

    Got mine on the 13th, from the Fantasiapelit store in Tampere.

    4 new "base" classes?

    Erik Mona dropped by on my blog and had the following to say:

    Pathfinder 1E [Pathfinder] Planning on switching to Pathfinder?

    Yup, switching. Over the summer, I've played or run Legacy of Fire under Pathfinder RPG Beta, Pathfinder Society and Rise of the Runelords under Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 and Dawn of Defiance under Star Wars Saga. Barely a session has gone by without confusing rules from one game with another. So...

    Pathfinder 1E [MERGED] Pathfinder forum complaint threads

    I like that Pathfinder got its own forum. It makes it easier to find the stuff relevant to the game I play and I vastly prefer EN World's forum software to Paizo's. Now, I wish people will also use it.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder circulation

    I think it was Erik Mona in the comments of a blog post at Grognardia who stated that they don't consider 10,000 copies a hugely ambitious print run, as they (James Jacobs?) described this elsewhere (either here or on their own forums, can't remember). I recall them also mentioning that they...

    Best of the Chronicles?

    Essentially, yes. They also seem to have a bit more in the way of rules items, though not much. There isn't a single Chronicles or Companion volume that I didn't like, but I'd single out Classic Monsters Revisited as the best of the lot. It really livens up the monsters and makes goblins and...

    Warhammer FRPG

    Slightly veering off-topic, but unlike for WFRP, there is a demo for the WH40K roleplaying game. In fact, there are two. "Shattered Hope", the demo for Dark Heresy, where you play the inquisitor's assistants, is available here. "Forsaken Bounty", for Rogue Trader, where you play a starfaring...

    Appreciation to the Mods for this new Forum

    Thank you! This just made the forums a lot more valuable to me.

    A Question for the 25 and under crowd - What have you read?

    Only found the thread today... I'm 24 (23 when it was first posted...), and I've read all of them. Not much in the way of Vance, though, mostly because I haven't got around to really delving into the Dying Earth stuff yet, or Jordan, mostly because life is too short. I don't think too highly of...

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

    I don't remember ever seeing a career like that for WFRP, but the Ex-Blood Bowl Player was presented as a player character for Warhammer Quest in an issue of Citadel Journal. Issue #16, I think, though I may be wrong.

    What are the no-goes for you?

    Smoking at the table is the only dealbreaker for me. Technically, there are also a few gamers in the local scene that I refuse to play with, but the feeling is mutual and the GMs sided with me when it became an issue. Apart from that, anything goes. Large amounts of alcohol usually doesn't...

    Lets try this again- 4E FR Campaign Guide

    I wrote a fairly lengthy review back when the Campaign Guide came out. I detest the new Realms, but I do go into some detail on what the book has eaten. It's here: A Rant and a Review: Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide « Worlds in a Handful of Dice For a second opinion, there's Gnome Stew's...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Setting as Selling Point?

    No, the strategy that did not work out well for TSR was publishing five setting lines at the same time that were effectively competing with each other. Paizo has one setting. As for a major selling point... the key here is that it's a good setting. Personally, I prefer Paizo's setting model...

    If you can find a group that plays a pre-3.0 version of D&D or Retroclone would you:

    I voted "sign up for a long-term campaign". I did. A year ago, a group I was playing Shackled City with reverted back to their long-running 1E campaign, and I was invited along. So, I played a couple of sessions with 1E, and then they concluded 3E was actually better and converted (with no...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Adventure Path: How Successful?

    Never had a Dragon or Dungeon subscription, but I started subscribing Pathfinder with the Second Darkness AP, after buying all twelve that came out before that. Top-notch stuff. I've picked up most of their other Pathfinder stuff at least in PDF, and am planning to subscribe Pathfinder...

    Games you won't play

    I find those games abhorrent precisely because they, to all appearances, are meant seriously. I've read the full RaHoWa (such as it is - the game is incomplete) and a large chunk of F.A.T.A.L., and I see nothing to hint that they have not been written in all seriousness, apart from the fact that...

    Games you won't play

    Well, I refuse to play F.A.T.A.L., RaHoWa and anything in their vein. I must say I appreciate how RaHoWa makes every Untermensch actually mechanically superior to the Aryan master race, though. Then there are games I've tried, tested, and found to be unplayable. I refuse to play Rolemaster and...

    How do I access LFR adventures?

    Membership is free, but the module ordering system is 1d6 SAN a pop.

    How do I access LFR adventures?

    lfr_luruar : LFR - Luruar (Silverymoon) The old Living Greyhawk website for UK and Ireland, http://www.onnwal.org.uk/, seems to be dead. Also, there will allegedly be regional websites under the RPGA website for the LFR regions, but I don't think anyone actually believes that anymore.

    How do I access LFR adventures?

    At RPGA Home Page, click on Sanction an Event in the sidebar to the left. There, you pick D&D as the game you want an event for, book the event and the modules, and then get to download the modules from... somewhere in there. Can't remember, sorry. They recently renovated the members' only...
