I've worked for Steve for four years. Steve allowing me to work on a Rite project for Hero Lab that became my graduation internship. Which lead to many releases from Rite for Hero Lab.

Steve was always there for me, whether I was having trouble with something for Hero Lab or even my personal issues over the years. When there were problems, he wanted me to know first. E-mail wasn't enough, he called me on more than one occasion to explain things that weren't working right.

Steve helped usher in many changes in my life. I am a better man for having known him and worked with him. Out of all the years my only regret was never being able to meet him in person.

Rite was just getting ready to make the move into Hero Lab and 5e to be the first 3PP in that spot. I'll be sad not to be able to user that in.

Steve I miss you already. And will miss you for many years to come.

Alternatively, did you tell him to kill off everyone and replace them with interesting and not-annoying characters?

So more Jar-Jar ... got it.

I think my biggest issue is race swapping iconic characters.

I collect digitally now. I know of at least 1 person that has one of every Golarion & Pathfinder product, and when I say that I mean he buys a new copy of each printing of books.

I've seen a video of someone that has a copy of every single D&D (Official) product ever made plus every Pathfinder product.

I honestly hate captchas and activation e-mails. There are some places I still can't receive my activation e-mails from for reasons like I'm not using an e-mail address associated with my ISP or not using some known service (hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc). Sometimes the e-mails never even show up no matter what e-mail address I send them too (and they don't go to spam).

And captchas? They're just horrible, especially when I have to zoom a page 500% just to read them. There has yet to ever be a good implementation of them.

I still tend to not recognize most names they have listed as "established" authors.

If Someone took my car keys and moved my car without my permission just to get a reaction out of me, I will make sure to see the reaction they have when I call the police, have them arrested and brought up on charges for theft. I don't care who it is, my best friend, my girlfriend, my mother, the pope. They crossed the line and it would be over between us.

Wow ...

Before it was clear that gnomes still died of old age I actually had a PC that was a gnome that basically changed himself up every hundred or so years (aka starts back at level 1 to keep things interesting) and his story was he was the one that bet Cayden to take the test.

I want an Android

I love Lemley ... both her character and her player ...

Also loved the Avatar: The Last Airbender reference in Chapter 3.

Alright HERE'S the sheet. If you would like to have editors access to add traits feel free to contact me with your Google account.

Ewok Kids and Droids FTW

Not sure if Paizo can have any say in this or not, but it would be great if the Kindle editions could have Lending and X-Ray turned on. Lending because ... well its lending. X-Ray is kinda like a wiki for just the book that lets people put character information and track how many times certain characters come up and other things and works like having an "in world" glossary so you just have to highlight something (say a Deity's name) and it'll give you some info about them.

I think Netflix is the perfect place for Constantine.

Can't' wait to see your review of the Kaiju Codex (my wife worked on it and has been chomping at the nails for a really well done review).

In for $5

I think I am going to houserule that players can give up feats at a faster rate in order to gain abilities from their VMC picks. I really dislike the fact that you don't really gain the the things that make you feel like a member of these classes until like... level 15 or 19 in a lot of cases. The campaign is basically over at that point.

Well really going faster than this you might as well just run a gestalt game.

Divine Channeler, Luckbringer or Taskshaper from Rite

As the husband of someone that writes the setting material and not the game mechanics I know my wife would really appreciate what people think of the setting stuff and not just the mechanics of the books.

This may be an April Fool's product, but it sure is a lot of fun!

Last I knew it was completely legal. I know when I enter Rogue archetypes into Hero Lab for Lone Wolf I have to make it for Ninja too if it replaces the same class abilities that both classes have.

82. Its not much but I give my players +4 HP at 1st level.

I always liked Mike. When he left I kept hoping that "Contributor" tag would change back to an employee tag. I loved what he did with dragons and you can tell how much he loved them in his writing. He will be horribly missed.

I love Toph

I just noticed RWBY on Netflix last night.

I saw that too. They've (very cogently) made each "volume" of the first season into a single episode - meaning that they're essentially presented as two movie-length features.

Awe, but that means you don't get to sit through the awesome intro song until it is stuck in your head :(

Just to rock out to!

-I´m extremely uncomfortable with non-Paizo members tracking other people´s posts here. That feels like a crass violation of trust and privacy to me. I´m pretty sure there are more than enough other people who don´t like this! This can come off very jerkish.

So you're upset that someone looks at statistics on a public forum where anyone can do the exact same thing. Google does it. I could see being upset if this was a private forum or if your PMs were being tracked, but this is public and open to the world.

Really? How else are you supposed to get to a MUD.

I miss good MUDs

I'm still charter :dance2:

I wish they would avoid holiday weekends all together.

Out of curiosity why did you choose to release the files this way instead of directly through Lone Wolf's store where things could have been integrated to not have a $100+ entry point just for the user to use the program?

Can't wait, just wish there wasn't 2 months in between each one!

Clearly I'm very late to the party, but will this book be in print again? I'd like to take it as a good sign that it's on back order.

You can pick up a copy HERE It is now Print-On-Demand through DriveThru RPG. It's a very nice book, I have a copy in the next room.

Cleric: On second thought ...
Feral Halfling: WAIT!!! You get two??!?!?

Rite Publishing also has Questhaven

I'm torn on this. I like having all the stuff in one place, but I dislike new stuff in compilations, and Kobold Press seems to have a habit of doing that. To me it's like seeing a comic publisher go "Here's the trade paperback and because you're buying something new, lets add an all new issue just for you." So the person that supported the product line all the way has rebuy everything if they want this new material.

Elaine (my wife) is going to flip when she sees this. Thanks End.

Check out Nitro Reader, I use it to export my images from PDFs and PNGs and it keeps the transparency.

The sample Skeletal Champion is a Human Warrior 1 Skeletal Champion with a CR of 2. I'm being told that because there is an NPC class involved the CR should be one lower (1), and that even Paizo does it wrong ... I've argued that the Skeletal Champion CR is based on the Skeleton which is based on Hit Dice and not Class Level.

So I'm trying to get clarification on just what CR that sample Champion should be.

It was great being on. Thanks for the opportunity Steve.

Three Hearts for Three Lions by Poul Andersen I believe was the original Paladin inspiration.

Hello all,

One of my friends is entirely into paladins. Could anyone recommend a book(of Faerun or otherwise) that heavily features this class?

Did you really overhear those in the office at 9 and 10 PM on a Friday? 'cause I knew you guys were dedicated, but...

I have it under fairly good authority that they were gaming during that time ...

Always liked it. Rufus and Ron were probably my favorite characters.
