Bump since stickies aren't working.

Bump since the stickied threads are no longer working.

Bump since the stickied threads are no longer working on RotRL for some reason. Does anyone have a list of the other sticked threads so we can keep them accessible?

The stickied threads on RotRL are gone. What happened to them?

Did I screw up some setting somewhere somehow or are the stickied threads gone? Please, please bring them back!

I feel compelled to say that Fantasy Grounds offers the most "virtual table" experience of any of the products currently out there, in my opinion. While its mapping abilities are minimal, it does most of what you need, especially if you use Paizo's digital products. There is a vibrant ruleset for both PF and PFS on their web site, and a lot of what you need, especially combat, and even a lot of spells is automated to the degree that makes sense for a game facilitated by a GM.

Anyway, I guess I look forward to seeing what Paizo comes up with, but, as others have remarked, it would have to be pretty amazing to pull me away from Fantasy Grounds.

It did get me to thinking though. On a case such as this with RotRL, I wonder how difficult it would have been to sell people a guaranteed case of miniatures (1 of every rare, 4 goblin wardog riders etc).

I'm sure if it were cost effective they'd have tried, but still curious if it's even in the realm of possibility on something this large.

WizKids won't ever "guarantee" completeness when it comes to random distribution, as there's a human element involved. With Heroes & Monsters, though, we encouraged them to set a target approaching 100% completion, even if they couldn't guarantee it.

We pushed for the same with this set, but the attaining a completion target of close to 100% would have required them to include several more boosters in each case, and the case cost would therefore have been that much higher. As it is, about 93% of cases should have a complete set, and most of the rest should only be short one figure; for the 7% of you that end up needing to pick up a figure on the secondary market, hopefully you can take consolation in the fact that that one mini will likely cost you a lot less than the additional boosters would have.

Vic, I'm not complaining, as I love everything Paizo (as you can see from my subscriber line), but I happen to be one of the unlucky ones. I was missing one figure from the first H&M case, and I am missing two (54 and 58) from my current RotRL case. So, I have orders in your secondary market. But, as you've pointed out, when it comes to random distribution, there will always be outliers. I just happen to be one of them, unfortunately for me.

I am not saying to delete this thread, just put a link to it in the other. It is stickied and as this thread gets moved lower on the heap, no one will see this greAt stuff. Besides, that thread does already include artwork.

I am more in the camp of quick-and-dirty. Most of the ones that are critical already have art in the AP, so I'd prefer quick renders of the ones that aren't in the AP. PLUS, this let's the artist not spend so much time doing the rest of us a favor, since the quick render is what he prefers too.
On a separate note: shouldn't this be linked into the Community Created thread?

Here's the new, improved lumber mill interior!

thanks, Toyrobot!

My players are about to start through The Skinsaw Murders, so I whipped up an Interior for the Sandpoint Lumber Mill.

This link is broken. Does anyone else know where it can be obtained?

Hi all,

I'm working ahead on materials for Skinsaw and I've made up some of the notes from Foxglove. I've got the layered PDF for these (and could save as PSD) if anyone's interested in using them for their own notes. They're all bloody, which seemed appropriate, but that layer can be removed.

Here's a quick preview:

Let me know if you want them and I'll upload somewhere.

Did these ever get uploaded anywhere?

Thanks. So, it sounds like if you can't find an entry, add in "archive" and you'll find it.

Below was the link:

This was about The Skinsaw Murders.
How do you use Google to search only the RotR forum?

I stored a link to a topic regarding RotR, but now, when I click on the link, it just goes to the list of threads. How do I get to the threads no longer on the list?

Also, why is the search function so useless on these boards? All I ever get is a bunch of user profiles.

The deck uses a concept called misalignment where if a good (evil) card is in the evil (good) row, you are supposed to reverse the reading of the card. This really opens up options in the harrow.

I'm thinking of adding another concept that I call discord to my harrows. In this case, if a lawful (chaotic) card is in a chaotic (lawful) position, you put a different spin on the reading. I think it would be either how something in the past will bleed over into the future (lawful in chaotic position) or how something in the future will bring to completion something in the past (chaotic in lawful position). Alternatively, the reading could involve how someone/something of a lawful nature could or did cause a very chaotic result (and vice versa for chaotic card in lawful position) or perhaps, uncharacteristically perform in discord to its nature.

Just a thought....

I think we can figure out when the Swallowtail Festival is with a little bit of information. Does anyone know any cannon reference for how long a year is? The PCS says 52 weeks of 7 days, but I seem to remember somewhere that each month is exactly 30 days with a leap year every 8 with the leap day at the end of Arodus.

The key to figuring it out is that in Shadow in the Sky, there is a note on p.15 that says that the 14th day of Arodus in 4708 AR is an Oathday. We can work backwards from there to figure out the Swallowtail Festival if we know how long a year is.

I know it's hard to believe that someone is just getting started with RotR but we are. Question: Who died in the goblin attacks? I think this is a glaring ommission in the text but I can't find a gone listed, just that the deaths were thankfully few.

Guide to Korvosa has a section titled Numiatics that covers Korvosa coinage. It is not bad except it doesn't really tell you what is ok the front and back of the coins.

The image on page 12 is the Storval Stairs. See Pathfinder #4 adventure part 2 for details.

Thanks, Phil.

Do we know what the coins of Varisia look like? I searched the Rise of the Runelords Path, but no matter what I search for, all I get is a bunch of user profiles, no forum entries.

Does anyone know what the picture is on p. 12 of the Player's Guide? It shows what I believe are the ruins of some ancient Thassilonian city, but there is no caption or anything by which to identify it.

I am a subscriber to everything, and I want to go back and make up the stuff before I became a subscriber. Why do I have to pay twice for the hard copy and the PDF of the back-issues? It seems like a subscriber should get the PDF of back-issues free once he purchases the hard copy.
