Of the three new systems you mention in the OP, Pathfinder's core rulebook is pretty well organized and laid out (not sure it really qualifies as a fabulous read per se, but to each their own since I read magazines about water treatment). Castles and Crusades is decent and attempts to harken...

Woah hold the gnome...there are actual groups with only one "Grass is Greener in 3 levels" players in them!? Seems like the only time I don't have at least a matched pair of snaggle toothed garlic & curry sweating "future-minded-if-then-power-nerds" at my table is when we're learning a new...

It wasn't good all the way through, but I had fun watching this movie. However I have also been known to collect cheesy action movies and hold Raw Deal in high regard so...weigh my claims of 'fun' accordingly. I couldn't help but feel that the theatrical version has been cut differently from...

I much prefer a tree-like option-heavy advancement system, rather than a typical rigid class structure with crab-walk-multi-classing built in. As far as optimization and alpha builds...it's going to happen. There will be ladies and gentlmen that will still dive into class X for Y levels to...

You could also run the game set in Golarion before the Age of Darkness when the world looked very different, was host to nations like Azlant before the coming of Aroden, etc. In that time frame, you can have forests of fire and crazy teleportation artefacts, etc without having to wonder why...

A d100 rehash of the game wouldn't be different enough to pull fans away from either WEG or WotC versions of the game, and it would step on the toes of their 40k sci-fi lines (Rogue Trader in particular). And despite the often sight-unseen bad press that WFRP 3 gets, a similar system would be...

Looks like it is FFG afterall. They just started links to X-Wing and Star Wars: The Card Game in their "Have you checked out our latest additions" links on their forums. Though the roleplaying game may have been something they passed on...hopefully we'll see more as the week progresses.

Well, now it's the end of July. Perhaps the license has been secured. Or maybe it hasn't and is in limbo. Nothing in this thread would indicate any more or less at this point. I just thought I'd kick around some speculation. Crothian when will you be taking pre-orders? I'll take seventeen...

*Riiiiiiiise* Lord Vader [Blatant Thread Necromancy] Anyone have any thoughts on who the company will be? I am hoping Gen-Con is the venue chosen for the announcement by "whomever" since I'll be amongst the slouching masses in Indy next week and it'd be cool to be at ground zero so-to-speak.

Yup all Pathfinder. Appendix 2 summarizes Conditions.

I like the Pathfinder GM screen, but the "Miscellaneous" tab isn't very useful. Since I have a Savage Worlds custom GM screen (there are cheaper alternatives but I'm a product w**re) I just made my own Pathfinder screen patterned off the Paizo release. The sheets are arranged to 8.5 x 11...

Depending on whether or not your GM allows Ultimate Magic, you could check out some of the "Inquisitions" that are presented in place of Domains. Our group passed on UM, and I've only briefly looked over the book so I can't say if they are better than the domains suggested by StreamOfTheSky.

My main reason for doing Repose with the Souls Subdomain (APG) was so that I could easily solve the incorporeal undead problem should it rear its head early on. I may have gone a different route in hindsight but I haven't had any fist-shaking-at-the-heavens remorse over it.

I love Pathfinder but I'm in agreement that it won't be different enough for you. Your players are more likely to to have a blast, as the play experience is changed in some subtle and not-so-subtle ways (to me and mine it is an improvement but YMMV). But from a GM standpoint you are still...

I am running an Inquisitor of Pharasma in Carrion Crown with the Repose (Souls) Domain. He's only 6th level at the moment but he's really a hoot, and I haven't felt like I'm stealing the show or floor-stomping every encounter single-handedly. I should also mention that I am not playing with...

If you intend to run games set in Golarion then snag the Inner Sea World Guide. With the other books mentioned in the OP you should be good to go. Of course there are a lot of awesome books from Paizo and the 3PP's that support them I'd recommend getting but...those aren't "essential"

Boot the player with the foul RL temper and shipoopy attitude. If you are all adults it shouldn't be too wounding to his view of the world and his place in it. He is probably dealing with some other internal issue and coming at the rest of the world p--- poorly. In the real world if you act like...

Post #146 featured a Monty Python clip. Since we are retreading territory in this dead ol thing, how about we repeat every post from #288 on down to #1 so that the beginning and end of the thread are mirrors of each other. Like a forum palindrome! I'll take #288 below... Post#288 "Quote...

I thought the way they handled the battle was brilliant, and having Tyrion be out cold the entire time worked for me. There was enough hopping about and stuff going on that if they had done a full braveheart-esque battle it would have overshadowed the impact of the angry/chaotic mob at the Sept...
