I've tried posting here before and have thus far been unsuccessful in finding a group.

I'm looking for a weekly or semi-weekly Pathfinder or 3.5 game. I'd love to be a player, but if I need to GM, I'm good with that, too.

I'm in the Rivergate area, but don't mind driving to be in a good game. There has to be somebody in this town who plays.

If you've got a game already established, but have an empty chair, let me know. Have a couple of friends who want to play? Let me know.

Thus far in the 4 months I've lived here in Nashville I have completely struck out in finding a game. There has got to be some Pathfinder or 3.5 players somewhere in this town! We've got a full-sized replica of the Parthenon and our football team is the Titans, for heaven's sake.

I'd love to join a Pathfinder or 3.5 game. If necessary, I'll be happy to GM. I've got plenty of resources and space to host if needed.

Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?

Okay, Goodlettsville to be more precise. I'm new to town and looking to find a good gaming group. I'd love to be just a player, but I do have a campaign I've been working on for a while that I can run if needed.

Let's say you've got a new player coming into a Forgotten Realms game. Because there is SOOO much information out there regarding the Realms, you don't want to overwhelm them.

Does anyone have a short document that lays out basic FR information that a 1st-level PC might know (i.e., basic geography, major organizations, most common deities, etc)? I've got a fairly extensive library, but if someone already has something like this, I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.

Oh, I guess I should add, I'm looking for info from the 3.5 era before the latest time jump.

I found out this evening that my services will no longer be needed at my current place of employment as of Feb 7th. Does anyone know of any companies who might be hiring?

I am a former USAF Communications Officer (Captain - O3 for you Navy types), carried a TS/SCI clearance. I have a BA in Radio/Television and an MS in Management. I have managed groups of people both small and large. I have managed programs and projects in both stateside and war-zones worth millions of dollars.

I'd love to get back into a creative job using my video production skills, but I am also interested in corporate in-house training and project management as well. Essentially, I'd like a decent job with a stable company (who would't!).

Any pointers, leads, or suggestions will be tremendously appreciated.

I know I keep irregular hours, what with a 3rd shift job and all. But I notice that Clark keeps posting seemingly all day and night. Doesn't he have a day job? Doesn't he need sleep? Is perhaps there a deeper significance to his naming his company Necromancer Games and using Orcus as the logo/mascot? Or is he perhaps a similar incarnation to Chuck Norris who doesn't sleep because he merely waits instead? Curious minds want to know.

Sadly, I find myself without a regular game and am undergoing withdrawals. The problem is that I work third shift and am having trouble finding a game. Are there any gamers in the Dallas (east side, I'm in Rockwall) area that share my predicament?

Well, my submission is in. I gotta say, it was tough to hit that "submit post" button.

Best of luck to everyone!

I was perusing my copy of Second Darkness #1 and noticed on the Boneyard Ambush encounter (page 34-37) that it mentions

Now, while this isn't a deal-breaker, I'm just curious as to where they were supposed to be placed.

Due to my stupid work schedule, I am finding it harder and harder to arrange times for my group to get together. Also, since we're spread out across the DFW Metroplex, it adds to the difficulty,

I know Wizards is supposed to have some sort of internet-based gaming setup at some point (for a monthly subscription). What are some other methods my fellow Paizoians . . . Paizoites . . . gamers are using to circumvent logistical issues to game?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to have voice capability and be able to show maps. I know, I'm not asking for too much. :)

Thanks in advance.

Along the way in my Forgotten Realms campaign, the party has picked up a couple of intelligent weapons. I'm assuming someone among this esteemed board has run intelligent weapons/items before. What I'm looking for are tips, tricks, suggestions, etc. to make them interesting without being completely overpowering.

If it'll help, the weapons in question are "Hadryllis" from the lands of Rashemen. The other is a minor-powered dagger that would prefer to be owned by a Red Wizard of Thay.

Thanks in advance.

So there I am, sitting down to enjoy the electronic version of the latest installment of the Curse of the Crimson Throne - Skeletons of Scarwall. And what do I see staring me in the face on page 5? "Greg Vaughan is a trooper." Then it goes into this long diatribe about what hard worker Greg is. And how he's the only one to write for all the Adventure Paths. And how he's the go-to-guy. And how he can raise the dead and walk on water (okay, that may be a stretch).

So when he and his family (lovely wife and cute kids) arrive at our parents' house for the July 4th weekend, what is the first thing out of his mouth? Is it "hello" or "Happy Indepence Day"? No, it's "did you see the latest Pathfinder?" So to make a long post short (too late!) I'm going to start the Greg Vaughan Is Not a Trooper Club or the GVINATC! Who's with me (I assume Nick Logue and Richard Pett will be charter members.) So who's with me? Who's ready for Paizo to offer somebody, anybody a chance to be published, other than this shady Greg Vaughan? Join the GVINATC today!

But I'm not bitter.

D&D Adventures: You know who rocks? Greg Vaughan, that’s who.

One of my tasks for the morning is looking through his (big) contribution to a forthcoming adventure. At first glance, it looks terrific. And it’s no mean feat to write an adventure for a game system that doesn’t fully exist yet.

I orginally posted this on ENWorld, but wanted to share my good fortune with my fellow Paizoians . . . Paizoites . . . Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu . . .

Well, the day is drawing nigh, I am going to start my 15-year-old daughter and several of her friends on their initial foray into the world that is Dungeons and Dragons.

For quite some time, my wife has not been too keen on the idea, and my daughter didn't seem interested. It was only as I was preparing for my normal monthly game in October that the daughter voiced an interest and the wife relented. While playing with my normal group, some of my daughter's friends stopped by and one of them mentioned that she'd "always wanted to play D&D but didn't know how". So, this Friday, a rather eclectic group of adventurers will be coming together to begin their (hopefully) illustrious careers while tackling "Mad God's Key." (I toyed with starting with "Box of Flumph" but MGK has a better way to get them involved without the tried and true "hired to do something scene")

I call the group eclectic because the party is composed of:
- half-elf male druid (daughter)
- half-elf male druid (twin of daughter's PC, played by female) - not sure parents will let play
- halfling female monk (played by male)
- dwarf male cleric (played by male)
- half-elf male sorcerer (played by female)
- human male ranger (archer specialist, played by female)
- ?? - played by male
- ?? - played by female (possibly rogue)

I'm sticking to Core only at the start, so an not to overload them, but I'll add more as we go along (I do love psionics).

The campaign is going to be set in a world of my own design with The Game Mechanics' city of Liberty as the centerpiece. I've got a potential campaign thread in the works, but I"ll also let them decide what to do next based on the hints, hooks, and clues I plan to drop along the way.

I haven't played with a bunch of "noobs" (I guess that's the term) since I was one myself, but am looking forward to Friday night.

I know when I'm surfing the net looking for D&D goodies, I typically end up seeking adventures, scenarios, or hooks I can use in my own game. This got me to thinking. What do you seek when you are searching the web (D&D and RPG-related only)?
