Why not just use the traditional supersonic bucket brigade?

Ah, for some reason, I assumed Xanesha was just a greater medusa who was hiding the fact behind the mask mentioned. Seemed like an odd tactic for her, but obviously she didn't need the gaze attack, and the anti-magic field would have rendered the tactic moot anyway. As for Lucrecia, how tough...

So the Pathfinder version of Evard's isn't much different than the 3.x version? I'm a little surprised. I'm going over the beta rules I got at Gen Con right now, and it looked different at least based on a cursory examination. Of course, having been a player of the guy who wrote those rules...

If so, what are your opinions for the amnesia arrows? If you had players who succumbed to the amnesia effect, how did they handle it and how was it resolved? What about the results of pixie PCs? If it was a problem, was there a house ruling made?

How many books make up Pathfinder at this point? I got the soft-cover beta rules at Gen Con, but I 'm not sure what else I would need. How crunchy is the campaign setting book?

Ah. So when did Aldern himself die and/or become the Skinsaw Man? If I remember right, Skud was still a level 1 schmuck just a month or two ago. What of all this happened by then? Did he even kill his wife yet?

So why was he so intereted in Skud? I might have missed a plot point there. Was that decision random or based on character backstory? Is the lack of female characters one of the things that affected this? Actually, a quick recap of the whole Foxglove family could be nice. How did the family...

Well, I think most of them weren't too bad; it's just that the bad guys tended to dominate, planning-wise, and showed up more in the Story Hour. Except for Anwar and Mandi, they weren't all thaaat bad. :) Speaking of morality issues, it's neat that we already got to the "baby goblin" question...

Ironically, had Haley stuck to her usual instincts and looted the place, she probably would have been there when the Oracle's lackeys showed up and paid them to raise Roy like she originally planned.

My current plans involve playing a 4th ed game, online at least, and continuing to DM a 3rd ed based game. It may or may not go Pathfinder, I haven't decided yet, but it wouldn't fit 4th ed in the slightest.

If I do run the game, I'll probably re-introduce at least a few of the old 9. For starters, the current Good and Evil just strike me as amalgams of the old NG/CG and NE/LE anyway, so I'll probably just rename them Lawful Evil and Chaotic Good. I may also add Lawful (Neutral) and Chaotic...

Huh, I had guessed the horse would be his companion. He showed up in a way that just felt like the animal version of "Oh, we just lost a party member and we're in the middle of a dungeon, so he can't just show up in town...I know, the party finds a prisoner!"

On the other hand, weren't the last three adventure paths ludicroously hard. I mean, despite your groups skill at the power gaming, the party effectively lost two of the last three campaigns. I know you had to make some changes to scale based on level and party numbers, but still. Do you...

He has that already? I assumed that if you get the feat, it means no more sex any more, so he'd be fine until then. ;) But my point was more for plot reasons. Let's say Shayliss set her eyes on Dex, for example, and he went with it. Would that change the campaign from hereon?

What an odd choice for them to make. Why only three? I thought it would be better to ignore race entirely and let people imagine their heroes as they desire or make sure there enough races to cover all real-world bases. So what of the three is Tsuto's family? Also, what would've happened had...

Heh, "succubi are demons, right?" made me laugh. So, how detailed were the town and the NPCs in the original setting? Were ones like the gossipy girl part of the original plot? It's interesting to have such an obviously non-European family in the setting as well; most tend towards western...

I got all that except the Greg Initiative part. I mean, I figured it was a Lost reference as soon as they got in the hatch, but I forgot about Dharma and Gred entirely until this strip reminded me. In non-pop culture reference humor, I liked the return of paladin Detect Evil Vision and the...

Those were some interesting goblins. I guess all the "so, what do you do with orc/goblin/kobold babies" debates have numbed me to the idea of them as aggressive attackers. The only named goblin in my campaign was evil but clever, not only willing to negotiate with the party but inviting him to...

So how is Pathfinder? Obviously you like it more than 4th ed, but how do you think it is compared to 3.5? That is, if Paizo released two story paths, one for Pathfinder and one for 3.5, assuming the adventures' quality were the same, which would you be playing? What are the big differences...

Wow, that stinks, and to think he was only 61. The early Myth books were some of my earliest fantasy novels as well. I stopped reading them after his long gap in the 1990s and was amazed a couple of years ago when I learned he co-wrote a half-dozen new ones. I suppose this is as good a reason...
