    D&D 3.x Pathfinder game with 3.5 sources open for options (like feats, skills, spells, etc)

    Curse of the Crimson Throne has at least 3 adventures in the the city of Korvosa, but I know eventually you have to go to a dungeon outside the city. It's pre-Pathfinder. Not sure if the original AP would count, Shackled City since it is pre-Pathfinder and had 12 episodes. I vaguely recall...

    What is your favorite excuse why a character is not in the adventure?

    Currently it depends on the situation. In the past I think they simply went "2 dimensional"; that is they were present but completely useless and invulnerable. In one group, if the player isn't there we kinda ignore them, except a couple times the players, children, were present but not...

    Pathfinder 1E Mythic Playtest?

    I like it, except the mythic weakness, but I get that. The Achilles heal, Baldur's weakness to mistletoe, Hercules rage, all flaws from mythic beings. I haven't played with any of it yet. I like the idea that you don't have to worry about levelling up to gain access to it. Questing is cool...

    D20 variant for attacking.

    Ok, I only gave a cursory glance to everything after you introduce two types of parries. First, if I get this correctly, shields give a AC bonus for cover AND deflection. Makes me want to carry a shield. Now to the cursory glance and why. If you introduce all these new "combos" if you want...

    Pathfinder 1E Slavery in Golarion and The Inner Sea

    I think Pirates of the Inner Sea can help you. I think the Okeno trade in slaves. http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Okeno The book may list other slave taking factions.

    Pathfinder 1E Random follower generator

    I've developed a bare bones random chart, though of course customized to our campaign and my character. It would make sense that the elf in our party, for example, if he had more elven followers than human. The tricky part is determining the skill or profession of commoners or experts. My...

    The Matrix - A false reputation.

    If machines are vulnerable to EMP in the movie, why are the invulnerable to nukes in the cartoons? Looking too deeply may just lead to madness. I just know that the Matrix movies are fun to watch and can be explained as a campaign of "reverse cyberpunk".

    Through the Breach: A Malifaux RPG

    I've looked at some of their figures while I was trying to find something to represent my eidolon and the pictures of painted minis are nice. I can't paint like that so wouldn't buy them but I might flip through an rpg book if I found it on a shelf.

    FRINGE--Final Season. Final Fight/ The Human Kind#8

    Can't believe she fell for that trick.

    Red Dawn

    Haven't seen it but I figure they could have hung a lantern on it and just had some dumb high schooler say "Chinese or Korea, who cares" though I suppose there might be worries of racism. Which makes me ask if the movie washes over that particular aspect of war.

    Pathfinder 1E Random follower generator

    In this case, I'm not sure how much detail/immersion/energy the DM wants to put into all that. I actually came up with the names, class, and background info on my first 6 followers (the DM took care of the actual cohort). Then I leveled up and thought about how many more times I might have to...

    Pathfinder 1E Random follower generator

    So I know there are random and not so random character and NPC generators, but what about something to figure out your followers for the Leadership feat? I'm not sure how many people even worry about how many 1st level townsfolk want to be minions or servants but for those that do, is it funner...

    How to tell someone not to come back.

    We had a thread similar to this last week, didn't we? Monk, character sheet, unfocused player. Reminds me of a funny story. I was in a local game store, Dr. Comics and Mr. Games way back about a decade ago. I was looking at the game books and an excited guy, who I believe was a teenager...

    New D&D movie on SyFy tonight - Book of Vile Darkness

    As if you didn't see from the posts above this, this thread/post is spoilerish. Soon as they went into the magic item shop and did that heroic or paragon business I realized it was 4E based and so pretty much everything I expected out of characters was thrown out the window. While I was trying...

    d20 open content online - 3rd party stuff

    Hmm. That might be it! Looks different and they added stuff since I last visited, but the word "Grand" kinda rings a bell. Thanks

    Pathfinder 1E Orc/nymph character?

    This may be overwhelming for a newbie but there is a book that might be able to help: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advancedRaceGuide/raceBuilder.html If you want to keep it simple, there is a trick I used to do when playing 3E back in the day (3E being the origin of Pathfinder). Look the...

    Player not using sheets.

    Sometimes even doing it for them isn't good enough. In one of my groups we have 2 younger players. One of the older players who's also the host and father of one of the players has updated their character sheets, printed them out and explained the numbers repeatedly. They just don't...

    d20 open content online - 3rd party stuff

    I remember a site that hosted open content from various 3rd party d20 publishers some years ago. I think I last saw it maybe 4 or 5 years ago, but I could be wrong. It was somewhat like the d20pfsrd site, but I don't recall it having nearly as much content and some of the books were obscure...

    Alignmet help

    There is also the obvious story I didn't bother to post but never forget the question, "What can change the nature of a man?" http://torment.wikia.com/wiki/Fall-from-Grace Also, I don't want to pile on the objections to your idea, but have you considered how the mortal was able to resist being...

    Alignmet help

    Well, are you asking for philosophical curiosity or trying to figure something out for a game you're playing? Is a being who is the essence of chaos and evil capable of love or is it lust or something else? Giving birth to a child, was it done for her lover because they wanted it or just...
