We've been doing the planning montage for the last few weeks. We're going a bit faster than one montage week per real week, but not much faster... Still, their plans are coming together. They've come up with some pretty cool ideas so far. I gave Vesta a free success in working on his...

Oh yeah, that's right. I often forget about cover because one of my main 4E characters can auto-stealth (combining Cunning Sneak with Shadow Walk), and the DM sometimes has intelligent enemies use burst or blast powers to get around the fact that I'm usually hidden. I was lumping cover in with...

Totally off-the cuff thoughts: General note: These are complicated, but flavourful. I have a strong preference for clean, since 4E characters have a lot of fiddly bits as it is, but for campaign-specific paragon paths that are very flavourful, I guess I'm OK with it. General note: the word...

I have to spread XP around before giving you more, but I agree completely. The delays haven't affected my game at all, and almost certainly won't, but the people who are in danger of catching up need realistic estimates rather than optimistic ones. There's also the added benefit that you might...

I leaned on the villainous conspiracy threads where RangerWickett and various Zeitgeist DMs discussed what the Ob's ultimate goals might be. I had Rutger Smith posit some of the proposed changes as Miller's thought experiments on what might make an ideal society. Villainous Conspiracy Intro...

Isn't this line of reasoning predicated on the assumption that XP should flow solely or largely from encounters? In terms of actual playing time between levels, I've found it pretty consistent throughout, and the levels almost always occur after major plot beats (which are often capstone...

My players' plan for their cover identities in Always on Time is for Rock Rackus to go on an international tour and for them to be his backup performers. Each night when the train stops, Rock would do a concert in that city. They do love their Rock Rackus. :D Their plan for maintaining secrecy...

Overall, I like the changes. A few thoughts and questions: Docker Should the enemy or the allies also be aware of the Docker character, since Audience Participation is implicitly predicated on the Docker’s performance? Gunsmith Do you intend for Gunsmiths to be able to buy magical ammunition...

In 4E, even if you have a fly speed, you still have to land every round unless you also have 'hover.' Maybe in the 4E -> Pathfinder switch, the word 'fly' was just replaced with 'jump?'

Wow, that's crazy. I'm very curious to see how you handle the rest of the adventure.

Somewhat anticlimactic wrap-up, but the constables managed to take out Sijhen, stop the ritual, and deal with the remaining extraplanar creatures with no casualties. I didn't get to unleash the Thing from Beyond. Reginald's consciousness fragment lost track of Saxby when she and Carlao's squad...

Love the appearances from the Evil Conspiracy discussion thread. And what you did with Constance is awesome. Note: In the Count section on page 104 of the document, you have "when Nicodemus changing his mind." I assume it should be "changes."

Digging for Lies, 61, The Trains. Should be "parking brake."

Thanks for the feedback and comparison to your group. I always try to read the accounts of other DMs who are ahead of me in the campaign, so I have some idea of how the scenes went for them. My PCs are close to Delft as well. They turned down Morgan Cippiano's offer -- even when he sweetened...

Session Notes The constables took Xambria back to RHC HQ and locked her up. After a little while, she came to her senses, and started babbling about Sijhen and some group called the Obscurati. However, she realized that Sijhen was still in control, which forced its hand -- everything turned...

Session Notes Just another night at the museum... A dozen implanters flowed down through the skylight, ravaging the gathered crowd. Murdok and Viveen fought their way through them, trying to allow as many civilians to escape as possible. Reginald assisted, placing psychic anomalies in the...

Digging for Lies, p56, paragraph 3: I'm actually not sure what's meant there.

Oh. I'm no use then; I don't have a Pathfinder licence for HeroLab.

I have HeroLab and can load the files. I haven't familiarized myself with the raw file syntax. One thing I've noticed is that HeroLab doesn't handle hybrid PCs correctly, but that shouldn't be a problem for you. :P I most likely won't have time before tomorrow night, though.

Those are awesome maps.
