I see this series has finally hit the virtual shelves of paizo. I'm interested in hearing any thoughts on these pdfs once folks start reading them. Magic Missile was the first issue which is why I started this thread with that one. The series needn't be read in any particular order though. If you've ever been interested in the creators behind your favorite PHB spells and in new ways to use these old workhorse spells, then "Behind the Spells" is for you!

Is this a trick question, Mr Boyd ;-)

But to reply, I have a handful of them (before Paizo got them so I can't review them). Some I like much better than others. Overall, I would buy more...

Heh, no trick question, DF. I'm looking for feedback as I'm planning on relaunching the series under my own company name--Tricky Owlbear (coming soon). As with anything, feedback is useful for improving the quality of products. We're also gearing up a "Behind the Monsters" line, among other things. So, you liked some more than others...care to elaborate? :)

Tricky Owlbear - that's great! I look forward to Behind the Monsters.

Ah, someone likes the company name--huzzah! Thanks for the support and I look forward to maybe seeing some reviews here on Paizo.


Galguth Shund

And the new company has now officially launched. Head on over to www.trickyowlbear.com and grab the free pdf Behind the Monsters: Owlbear!

The workhorse spell I am always twisted by as a Game Master is "Charm Person" since most players seem to feel it should be very powerful and I feel it is weak and difficult to master.

Revenant

never mind...carry on Love that Idea...
