I like that as a race, its not better to be a caveman than a "modern" human. It makes sense.

Wow, if you're going to lose at something, this is the way to do it. Set the bar high, and make the competition work for it! And the kids still win!! 8^)

...Now, everybody get out there and "kick some butt"; i.e., donate!.

(I posted a link to this blog post on Facebook. I'm about to tweet it too. Not sure how much it'll help, but it's about all I can do...)

Sweet! Now I have a primitive human to go alongside my neanderthal race!

Seriously, that Primitive Human almost demands to be played as a superstitous barbarian!

Question, except for the racial abilities, should the primitive human be treated as human in all ways (pre-reqs, favored class, bane)?

Yup. Treated as human for all other pre-reqs or abilities.

I think I could use the Primitive Human to represent the Wendol from The 13th Warrior.

EDIT: Or as vicious tribes whose culture has been influenced by demonic meddling, and now serve as savage, disposable henchman to their abyssal overlords.

DOUBLE EDIT: Xoveron would be perfect for this. He wants to destroy all cities and civilization. And historically, anthropologist have argued that humans were healthier and stronger during their period as hunter-gatherers, and that permanent settlements left us weaker and more susceptible to disease and other city-related problems.

So not only would CE primitive humans make ideal pawns for Xoveron, they have a convenient villainous justification as well.

"Death to the cities! Death to the weak! For the Horned Prince! Raaaaagh!"

or allied with certain gods and goddesses of Nature, and enemies of gods and goddesses of civilization (like Abadar).

Would someone please post a link that shows the current amount collected for each group?

thanks.

SS.

Here are the funding totals for each team

When is the deadline for donations in order to affect the competition?

Personally, I'm getting a demented sort of glee about how badly Paizo beat Wizrds. But that's just me.

I've been thinking about that, and at the risk of starting a conversation that eventually gets purged, I think it's because Wizards has customers, while Paizo has fans.

Not that we're not customers too, but it occurred to me recently that while I was somewhat active on the Wizards' Boards a few years ago when 4e was in its prime, I couldn't have named more than a couple of WotC's employees. I'm confident that I could name more than half of Paizo's employees off the tops of my head.

Basically, I don't think it's necessarily because of the products that the two companies sell; I think it's because of the attitude that the companies take in engaging with their customers.

The Day of the Gauntlet has arrived!

Fight well! For Honor and Glory!

I think it will be hilarious if one of the teams that failed to earn any power-ups ends up winning the gauntlet.

I'm curious as to how many Race Points each new ability on the Primitive Human are worth for the purposes of adding them to the Race Builder.

BTW, someone needs to fix the link to the Gauntlet. It's faulty.

In all fairness, pen and paper rpg related entity is holding it's ground against the makers of Halo. That's encouraging.

Kind of suprised Penny arcade has made so little.

Bungie is taunting us , but hey, we are climbing slowly. We just got another $100.

Edit:
Paizo has f*ck up with the link to the payment as well. Bad move!

Primitive Humans? Excellent! Now I can finally make my Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer negotiator bardbarian.

Edit: I'm surprised the suggested names don't include Mr. Key Rock ("Just Key Rock, Your Honor.")

Hey there Everybody!

This is it. The final push. You have until 2:45pm PST to get your donation in and have it count toward our team.

If we can get to 4k by that time, ill post up 5 extra ACG spoilers tomorrow when I get to work (in addition to the other rewards).

If we can somehow make it into 2nd place, Ill add 5 more. If, by some miracle, we can make it into 1st place, I'll add a complete list of the archetypes in the book and ill take that gauntlet punch even if we dont win the tourament...

Its for the kids after all...

Watch the event live now!

Anyone else having trouble with the chat not working?

[Edit] Fixed it, had to add Twitch to my whitelist for my Flash blocker.

Proley casts Status!

How are we doing?

No clue, the live stream is focusing on the Ticket to Ride game (I think that's the name) in which Stephen is playing. He's got a 'long road' in the north and the commenters have mentioned he may be the winner because he's hoarding cards or something.

They haven't really mentioned any of the other events.

I just heard that Jason won his Magic round.

I'm pretty sure that Stephen is going to win his Ticket To Ride round.

Edit: I was wrong.

I have no idea how that game is played or scored, but it seems odd that he got third. But I recall the commentators saying that no one really knows how many points you have until the game is actually over.
