I have loved the Realms since 2e, I loved it in 3e and I love it in 4e. It's a very dynamic setting and it feels like it progresses. I know I'm a minority with that viewpoint, but I thought the SP was a great idea, and I think it opened up alot of opportunity for FR players. 100 years is alot of...

I completely agree here. I think backwards compatibility is going to be possible with any edition and as well D20 variants/retroclones like PF. Assuming they can pull off this grand vision then it seems highly likely that alot of older doors will open up as potential options for the game with a...

Yeah Inner Sea Magic is certainly on my to-buy list. What about Blood of Fiends is so appealing to you?

Hey everyone, A local FLGS is having a big sale in the next few days and I was thinking of picking a few of the non hardcover books up - as in the player companion, campaign setting, and module books (or any softcover book type I may have forgotten). I presently only have the hardback PF...

Has anyone in Canada seen this one on the shelf yet? Toronto specifically. Steel_Wind, I know you're also in Toronto. You mentioned that this has been hitting shelves in your review, did you mean US stores or have you seen it yourself? Ive checked with Hairy T and 401 and they have no idea...

That seems exactly tailor made to what I was looking for. Thanks for the heads up Morrus! PS I realized shorty after reading your reply that this was announced on the front news page a little while ago. I must have just looked right past it. Thanks!

Hey everyone, For the campaign I am currently running, it appears the PCs are going to be attempting to aquire a sea based vessel for travel to an island. I was wondering if there is any place where rules for ship travel and possible ship battle exist for 4e? The PCs won't be there for a while...

I had a 1st level fire elementalist sorcerer for the last session of encounters this week - by casting elemental bolt (1d12 with 1d6 for fire elementalist) and combined that with the triggered encounter power that allows you to target an additional enemy with your sorcerer at will (within 5...

Yeah I have many modules from all D&D editions that I haven't got around to running (and sometimes I know I won't be able to run it for a while or ever at the time of purchase). I still use them to yank ideas/concepts from, or just sheer entertainment. Seeing as most everyone agrees that the APs...

Yeah Id say at this point I'm pretty sold on the AP sub. At least for Skull and Shackles. The free PDF combined with discounts is too good a deal to pass up. I'm hoping I can sway one of my game groups to play Skull and Shackles soon after it starts, but either way I want to get ahold of the...

For those of you in Canada who do the subscription: is it received via Canada Post? That is my preference as things like UPS charge a piece of your soul for cross country shipments.

What are the best AP's and why? I've always heard lots of love for Rise of the Runelords and Kingmaker. How was Carrion Crown? It sounded really appealing to me as it seemed like it would be reminiscent of Ravenloft. I was at one point set to play in a Legacy of Fire campaign but that group...

Yeah, I was concerned the shipping to Canada may be killer. What is the average shipping cost for an AP book to Canada roughly? I'm on the fence about this method due to cost but It's such a convenient system to have. I personally like having PDF and physical copies myself. Although I'm...

I am considering picking up a sub for the upcoming AP Skulls and Shackles. A PDF and physical copy are great on top of the 30% discount. However, I've never played/run an AP. I know they are generally regarded as high quality as far as pre written adventures go. I was wondering if anyone would...

I have been buying everything (which is certainly more than I need!) - although the page count in the Players Option books and most recent releases are not as big as before, I find the quality of the content to be absolute top notch! They are really stretching what 4e can do, and its been a real...

Well thanks for the vote of confidence Steel_Wind, and thanks to everyone for the advice! Thankfully, I already have a GameMastery Combat pad for my Home games and I just picked up the PF Condition Cards tonight while at my Encounters game. I figured those would be a pretty useful aid. I'm...

I suppose you missed this part on their official website: "We have begun obtaining feedback from a limited Friends & Family playtest consisting of internal employees and their gaming groups and soon we will be expanding that group to consist of members from our existing body of playtesters...

Ah I see, I must have misunderstood your previous post. However, in regards to this part: "I just feel that if they state they're doing open playtests etc. they're not truly open if they're dependent upon flying to a convention across the country" -they did state the open playtest is going to...

Sorry - my point was this is a system that hasnt already been commercially available to the general public and universally loved for the past 5 to 8 years.

1st point - Pathfinder was/is a 3.5 retroclone with some minor(ish) changes to it. Im definetly not knocking it as I love PF, but the type of playtest that WoTC is doing here is way different. They are playtesting a 100% brand new system, not a tweaked version of a 5 year old pre-existing...
