Oh, I do gotta say, though, that Veltargo's image bears no resemblance to the NPC described in the text of Mad God's Key. I wonder which came first? :) Coreyartus

I do have to admit, jpegs would be better for me, personally. That would allow Paizo to put them on the web at higher resolutions. A PDF won't allow you to print out larger scale maps that are: 1) easier to read, 2) at a quality that doesn't look like it's been torqued too much, 3) easily...

Ummm, I think what Dustin is trying to say is you'll have to wait and see. He's already taken time out of his days to tell you more about Blackmoor than you knew before. Count your blessings and ease up. He's not going to give you an all-access pass--yer gonna have to go to a game store and...

You can download a preview of the Player's Primer from the main Kenzerco website in PDF form. Scroll down a bit and you'll find it. It's free! :) http://www.kenzerco.com/ I'm not sure how much it's going to be like what you described as much as it's going to provide a great way to help your...

I think you're gonna discover, Prince, that there isn't a supplement published for the Kalamar setting that isn't packed with a wealth of information and inspiration over and beyond what it's really being marketed as. It's a real bummer. ;) The setting itself is driven by it's attention to...

They are indeed listed as such, providing the names of each according to each particular culture. It reproduces table 6-1 from page 94 of the Player's Guide, as well as several other campaign specific setting information tables, including Domains, Divine Focus, and too many other things to list...

Having read through this thread, I want to comment on some things that I gathered from various posts-- What should a Gaming Organization do? Here are some ideas: 1) Provide awards for truly creative endeavors in gaming, to both manufacturers and to individuals who have made significant strides...

Thanks for staying on top of things Pielorinho and Piratecat. Obviously, this topic has brought out the strong feelings about the success/failure of RPGA as a good gaming experience. If it isn't already apparent to the original poster, the potential experience of playing in an RPGA game can...

I don't know if you rotate DM's at all, but sometimes that can really help a player expereince what is possible... Just reading pre-packaged adventures after you've run them can go a long way to opening up the eyes of myopic players. A lot of RPGA adventures are repetitive--the OTA...

Yeah, RPGA games are highly criticized for not allowing time for role-playing. But there are mods that are all about role-playing, too, depending one what campaign you play in. Living Kingdoms of Kalamar is much more about role-playing than Living Greyhawk. Well, how much of your entire...

The website you're looking for is: http://www.gencon.com/ There are a lot of other cons that are closer to you that might be easier to get to... I think DragonCon is in Atlanta, and it's pretty big: http://www.dragoncon.org/ There are also a lot of RPGA events in florida, you might want to...

Whew! Thank goodness! :confused: Thank-you for demonstrating my point so aptly. I couldn't have said it better myself. :heh: To the original poster: take note. Ya never know what you might get when you go to an RPGA game... Exercising patience and engaging with your fellow players...

Shannara. I read the first one in junior high, and the one that followed was pretty good, but shortly thereafter, the whole thing turned into blatant commercialism... I never picked up any of the books after that... Quite a let down. As far as settings go, Eberron will blossom for a while...

Something I have considered is taking calendars apart and using the landscape photos for visual representations, sharing them with the players at appropriate times. They are pretty, vast, and usually relay a general feeling of scope. Also, it allows you to tie specific geographical features...

I here ya. A lot of people reach burnout really quickly because those bad apples can be so draining... I saw some good people become so frustrated they just stopped... That's sad. Sounds like the altruism ran thin after a while for you, and that happens to a lot of people. Nothing bad...

RPG's in general are elitist, not RPGA. Any home group is an example of elitism--you go through players until you find the right combo, and players or groups come and go until that happens--that's elitism the same as RPGA. Some RPGA members play better with each other because they know the...

Ah, yes. This happens a lot. And it's nice of you to remind us that it's not just RPGA, but role-playing games in general. RPGA was my return into the hobby after a 18 year absence. I learned 3.0 at my local LG gamedays. That was rough. I was a burden to many of my fellow players for quite...

I totally agree. Someday, consumers are going to get peeved at business opting to "impose" their sense of "what's best" for everyone. Catering to the majority is easy. The majority of their previous customers are going to consider purchasing their stuff without much effort on their part...

Actually, it's rumored that Christian Bale is going to be the next Batman. But back to Bond--apparently Pierce Brosnan is indeed tired of the role already and will make the next film his last. So selection of a new Bond is not that far off. It won't be an unknown--the franchise won't bank...

It looks like a comic book from the early 1990s. Complete with supergroup. Substitute the X-Men and you've got what looks like a perfect example of a typically oversaturated retread trying to impress new readers by repackaging "new versions" of the same tired mutants. Can Paizo actually...
