There are some things that Man was not meant to know.

Where the bodies are buried is always useful info in a campaign. As in, secrets of the major NPCs. If you can make sure they can't bury your body next of course.

I have a character concept in mind to play someday of a Ranger who took their first "favored enemy" out of a facing one's fear motivation.

Abishai are way too awesome to be limited to Faerun. And they first appeared in Dragon Magazine number 75, in an article by that Gary dude, so I'm saying they're generic anyway.

I think part of the reason that PS was treated differently by a lot of people in the way Hussar talks about has to do with the over all size of PS vs. another setting, and more importantly, the fact that in theory all other settings fit into PS. If a new player joined an FR group after leaving...

One of my favorite thing about Pathfinder is that "Sigil" "Bloodwar" and "Lady of Pain" are intellectual property that Paizo can't use.

I didn't see that, so I'll tinker with it. But I was referring to the editor tool allowing you to add creatures to the game.

Wait, the Beginner's Box data set allows you to create monsters? Is that an upgrade? 'Cause I tried to make a "rules light" version of a critter and it wouldn't let me.

I've only played Pathfinder itself once, I was running a demo at International Table Top Day and there was limited time for us to play at all. But there's a follow-up point to this that I feel confident making because it has been applicable to every single rpg I have ever played, from D&D (1e...

I started with 1e, and we played with minis and battle boards from the beginning. It probably gives me a very different experience and perspective, but I've seen plenty of fine roleplaying and character creation with developed personality in my day. Even if that's a contributing element, I...

Exactly. I agree, absolutely. It's just that in the case of the modrons, my answer to that last question could very well be "Too much". The reskinning of the look of the thing would, for me anyway, have to be extensive enough that I don't recognize them as modrons in a metagame fashion, or...

How would I have them look? I never figured that out. Part of why it never happened. The two in-game modron bits that I've run into where first, playing "The Great Modron March" adventure. We played it as part of the series, and I don't think we actually finished it, because I know we went...

Ages ago, I read somewhere that a study had been done that showed we at our best when our workload is at about 80 per cent of our capacity. Less than that, at a protracted time span, leads to boredom and the kind of listless performance that goes with. Exceeding it leads to burnout and...

In theory, I know this. I've always kind of wanted to run something where I pit players against creatures that have the exact same game mechanic stats as modrons, but change the name and describe them as looking completely different than the modrons of the books. But even if that did work...

Modrons go past quirky, in my opinion. From everything I've ever seen and heard, when they show up the tone of the game doesn't just get lighter, it gets slapstick. And I'm not saying I would mind a slapstick game, but I prefer a slapstick game not call itself D&D.

I've always hated the Modrons. Every one that's ever tried to convince me that they weren't lame just dug the hole deeper. Slaadi on the other hand, are awesome. Potentially as dangerous an opponent as a demon, but less predictable, to the point of them not necessarily being opponents. Even...

It needs to have stats for the Giant Mantis Shrimp. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp

I'm not a fan of public speaking, but they did require it of us in my high school. I got decent grades, but was always glad to be done with it. Lately, I haven't had much chance to game with the way my life is running, but I've been buying materials because I enjoy at least reading them and...

Good googelly-moogelly. Cassandra is one of my favorite characters in all of mythology. I've gotta save that one.

yes! I thought that was a very interesting supplement, never got a chance to try it out. Felt more like what I expected out of psi abilities than the official psionics stuff.
