I am seriously thinking about trying out 5th edition. It's for sale at all the local book stores, basically taken over all the shelf space where pathfinder used to sit. So they must be selling a LOT of it. And the arework is amazing. Kind of reminds me of 2nd edition when it first came out, how much better the art was then 1e. It was 2nd edition that pretty much made me a dnd acolyte when I was like 12...
I'm way too invested in Pathfinder to consider a new system at this point :)
Haha, Bartan! A monogomist rpger. How noble! I can understand that coming from a published pathfinder author though...
I'm doing a 5e game on the forums here. I like the simpler ruleset.
Yes, I'd try the 5e games right here on Paizo. This board has an awesome user experience for playing pbp. It would be tough for any other forum to beat. I love the way they've concepted the online threads. Feels like it was made by PLAYERS, not software developers. Or mabe sofware developers who are players, which is just as good:)
I'm with Bartan. Switching from 3.5 is hard enough, I can't jump that fast to 5.0. I'm still using Windows XP 64-bit on my desktop. ;)
yikes man! You know XP is toast now? There are zero hour failure viruses on that system. You hit the wrong website with an XP machine a kapaw! I would back up all your pix and stuff just in case!
Ah, Hajar, I found your 5E experiment thread! Now I can read the game in action to see how it works. Thank you!

Yeah, I should have rebuilt the 2007 machine into a 2011 machine when I had the money back then. I'm using an external hard drive for all the data, the desktop is just for the OS and programs. So if it goes, I'm only down 3-4 days. The hard drives are still good, but I'd have to get a new motherboard, chip, OS, RAM, and graphics card to match each other. My cash flow precludes upgrading the motherboard or even getting an entirely new machine. I've built the last 3 computers that I've used, except for laptops.
I hope everyone is having fun. The book is a little bland at this point, so I decided to add some ad libbing. The "against the clock" factor as the operated-on Unchosen gnolls struggle free of their bonds should be interesting. What's a dungeon without a mad doctor, and what's a mad doctor without some experiments? And who didn't wonder where all those Unchosen super-gnolls were coming from? Maybe now you can stop the supply before you go down to the next level in the House of the Beast.
The doc can unleash some real pain, if he gets the chance...
I am having fun! Dungeon crawls are tough in play by post. We appreciate the game, Pace, and a MAD SCIENTIST encounter is just what we needed:) (dare I say "just what the doctor ordered?" haah!)
Yeah dungeons in PbP are kinda hard to do...its why I've been so literal in pushing things forward, else we get stuck at every door for 2-3 days.

"Gotosleepgotosleepgotosleepgotosleep," Yazi murmurs on almost in a lullaby as she attacks the Gnoll.

wow it's quit as death on the boards tonight. Weird!
Did we make you mad GM? Players just tryana find adventure. No hard feelings?
No hard feelings! Just a wacky weekend for your GM, and I was bound and determined to get out and do PT this morning for the first time in months.
Let me roll up my sleeves and get you guys & gals going again...
Yeah. Two miles of wet North Carolina dew on the grass on the side of the asphalt road, in my case. And way too much traffic for what used to be an old country road outside of town.
Hmm? Not sure what you're talking about there, Yazi...
I hope your baby's feeling better now, Bartan.
Pazio.com down from 0600 to 1200 Eastern Daylight Savings Time today. That was a long time! *shakes fist*
Oh haha thanks, forgot I even wrote that. She's doing well now :)
I love how fast we keep this going, even during combat.
Consistent daily posting makes the game awesome. I've been in ONE that I disliked, but that was because I wasn't keen on the players. You guys are awesome however.
Hooray for being awesome!
Besides quick runner's shirt does anyone know of a good way to get full attacks of for a fighter?
Will be on the road next couple of days. I should be able to keep up the posting thought.

Bartan could learn haste and cast it on you.
Safe travels on the road, Khayal!
Haste won't actually let me move and get a full attack but it could help me close the distance faster which could lead to a full attack a turn sooner. In order to save Bartan a round in combat, I will probably be picking up boots of speed soon.

Or take Leadership and get a Skald in the party. Or Tiger's Hide.
Raging Song + Animal Totem = Lil Pouncin Killa
Haste is definitely on my list of spells to grab as soon as we get out of this place. Buffing the party would generally be more useful than tossing a spell at something. Might even consider taking a level or two of a buff-focused class like bard or skald... we shall see.
Whoa! Garden of delights?? Going for a walk with kids but will post in a bit;)
GM, just as an aside, you cannot CDG an inanimate object...or a construct.
Sounds silly I know, but its come up in my Iron Gods game.....
It was for dramatic effect. I'm still within the hour, I'll rewrite...
Yeah I figured it was, but I was surprised as heck when I tried to have my NPC use a CDG to destroy an item the party was after and someone showed me in the PRD where that can't happen....
On the road today, so no replies until this afternoon at the earliest.
Has Pazio gotten the gremlins out of the server farm yet? I wasn't able to post when I got home!
Okay, on with the action.
Y'know, playing as a 1st-level Sorcerer or Wizard, as I often have done, choosing mage armor as one of my first spells has been a knee-jerk reaction, primarily because of the "incorporeal creatures can't bypass it the way they do normal armor" clause. I don't know how many times our GM threw undead at us lowbies, and pretty much everyone was scared to death of a Shadow's Strength damage, except for the Sorcerer in the back with mage armor and disrupt undead.

Shivering as the phantasmagoric chill washes over her Yazi perseveres, steadfast in thinking she was letting a tortured soul finally move on to its deserved rest.
How does Yazi make even killing a ghost sound dirty? How?
I'm apprehensive how Yazi's going to encounter the multi-tentacled beast in the other room now.

I laughed out loud at my desk just now and a passing student looked in with some confusion.
