    Dragon Reflections #70

    I also remember it becoming official - probably in one of those books. However, our group ended up rejecting it in the end because the math was wrong. If the justification for the exponential accumulation of dice is due to acceleration, then it should have better matched the velocity curve over...

    Why Back The What's OLD is NEW Starter Box Kickstarter?

    I also thought it was whoah-in - like roin.

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder To Get New Core Rulebooks Soon

    According to Erik one reason is that classes like the alchemist are more 'techy' or complicated which is they were pushed back to the later book.

    Dragon Reflections #64

    Planet Busters was a great Tom Wham game! This one and King of the Tabletop were the Tom Wham Dragon games we played the most often.

    TSR D&D Historian Ben Riggs on TSR's Salaries in the 1990s

    I recall seeing a posting for a an entry level pen and paper game designer position in Seattle where one of the assets/qualifications they were looking for was a degree that included the Humanities and/or history.

    Lone Wolf (Hero Lab) Lays Off Staff

    Ah, I stand corrected then. So their modules are not licensed 5E material, but are OGL material they have put together along with fan material. I wonder why they went that route?

    Lone Wolf (Hero Lab) Lays Off Staff

    They do have 5E modules for Herolab Classic so it looks like they probably have a 5E license.

    New Releases In Stores This Week : 11th September 2017

    No, if you look at Death on the Reik again you will see that it is a different, but similar Ian Miller illustration. In fact, it is the illustration he did for the cover of the novel "The Forge in the Forest", the second novel in the series the RPG is based on.

    News Digest: Jack Chick Dies, New Pathfinder Details, Starfinder Interview, Rob Kuntz's New Company,

    The artwork is not yet final according to the ICv2 link, so perhaps having it in the RPG instead of the Campaign Setting line may just be an error in the temporary artwork.

    Pathfinder Online Layoffs; Ryan Dancey Leaves Company

    The layoffs were at Goblinworks. It's a different entity from Paizo, but Lisa Stevens is the CEO of both (she was appointed acting CEO of Goblinworks after the departure of Ryan Dancey). From the FAQ section of the release today: Q: Is Paizo taking over running Goblinworks? A: No...

    Pathfinder Online Layoffs; Ryan Dancey Leaves Company

    Yes, I would buy into that: a story based game set somewhere in Golarion like Riddleport or Absalom or the like.

    Pathfinder Online Layoffs; Ryan Dancey Leaves Company

    As JohnnyZemo and others have said, there were still lots of out of MMO goodies such as the Thornkeep and Emerald Spire adventures, miniatures, and various contributed bonus PDFs that went along with the Kickstarters. I have no regrets at buying in to both Kickstarters. I wonder if part of the...

    ORCUS! EXCLUSIVE! ESCAPIST!

    I think Paizo's usage can be traced back to Necromancer Games using Jubilex in the Tome of Horrors: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?122123-Necromancer-Jubilex-as-OGC

    D&D 5E (2014) Whimsy in your game?

    I do like whimsy in the right circumstances: a short adventure, an interlude, or encounter in a longer adventure. As a sustained element in an Underdark adventure that is supposed to be all about demons, it felt more than a bit wrong to me, so I voted no. Maybe I'll be surprised when we see...

    Perkins' Foreword From OUT OF THE ABYSS

    HPL can be hard going because of the writing style. One option if you are interested is to check out the radio plays and movies that the HPL Historical Society have created over at http://www.cthulhulives.org. They are quite good!

    Perkins' Foreword From OUT OF THE ABYSS

    Not sure if I count. I'm not exactly a hater. I'm more of an avoider because Savatore's FR novels have always looked kind of lame. I actually do have a few I've picked up over the years for a quarter or so at yard sales, but have never been able to bring myself to read them. OFf the top of...

    Perkins' Foreword From OUT OF THE ABYSS

    I was not aware that Michael Shea had died. That makes me sad. I rather enjoyed his stories, especially Nifft the Lean. I hope you're right in that Green Ronin managed to push the adventure more that way than the Lewis Caroll Alice in Wonderland pastiche Perkins was alluding to.
