Slight spoilers ahead for City of the Spider Queen.

So my party is doing fine so far. My character (Sor8/Celestial Mystic 4, she's lovely and has a Lantern Archon as a familiar) is really fun to play and does fine in combat.
As we walk into this room (temple) the archon Detects Evil and notices 3 glows in the ceiling. We walk into the room (while I keep an eye on the ceiling) and halfway there it all goes pear shaped.

I succeed on saving throw (vampire? mind-flayer? someone's probing!) while our druid fails and stands still. A vampire appears, the webs on the ceiling move apart and a black ooze falls right on top of me (I forgot to ask where the cracks in the ceiling were so I could NOT stand beneath them.. major error apparently).
I cast Wings of Cover (although I wasn't actually allowed since it was a suprise round... according to the DM) so the slam attack didn't work but I ended up engulfed by it anyway and rolled badly on the initiative roll. Next round 75% of my gear (cloak of charisma +2, Robe of Mysterious Conjuration (10k!!), vest of resistance +3, ring of true seeing (not my own!) and ring of feather falling) is gone.

I cast Baleful Transposition with the pudding and our monk switching positions, move back between my allies.

Then of course a undead drider falls on my head.

How much can a lawful good woman (I'm male, help me out) devoted to the teachings of Celestia take?
It feels extra bad because we might have messed up some rules but I don't think we'll undo anything (undo sucks.. how tempting it may sound though I'm not going to ask for it). Next time we'll continue and I'll have to think of a way to keep playing my character without her dieing.

I need a shoulder to cry on!

Hey all,

At the moment I'm trying to prepare a campaign for a goblin party. Starting out at a small scale, the players are worthless commoners and use the first session to "become" a somebody with a "job" that's more than standing guard all day, fish or shovel excess muck around (just muck is okay, it's just when it runs knee-deep in your lair you need some lowlife to shovel some of it out, right? Them small ones might drown...).

I'd like the party to slowly get more responsabilities in the tribe and get to explore the surroundings. I already have some ideas for the first few quests but like to keep it a bit freeform/roam-around.

So: Are there any Dungeon (or maybe Dragon?) Magazines I definately need to get a look at or which might contain anything relevant in this case? I've tried browsing through some of them and did a search on the forums here but didn't find anything.

Hello all here at Paizo messageboards,

As the subject of this post states: I'm confused.
I started playing AD&D (for a few years) and moved on to 3.x (also a few years). No problems there.
Then (when I was about to enter the life of the paid (aka post-university aka got-money-for-magazines-like-Dragon-and-Dungeon-which-I-like-a-lot) the game changed:

• No more Dungeon magazine and Dragon magazine
  
• The WotC forums changed (Gleemax wot?)
  
• I read about a Digital Initiative thingymajingy which I still don't understand fully
  
• A company that made the magazines wanted to carry on doing something comparable (sounded cool, they offered a free download so I registered) and they release a nice newsletter in which they started to mention Pathfinder which has a few other options (companion, etc) which aren't entirely clear to me.
  
• I don't like 4e
  
• On a blog I saw a post on "LAST POSSIBILITY TO DOWNLOAD", I followed the link, noticed there were all kinds of cool pdf's to download and noticed they weren't there anymore to download... I was late in several ways. Only (mostly) got myself to blame there. Anyway I'm kind of convinced that I have to switch (SWITCH!) but I don't know where to.
  

I understand asking here (3.5 forum on Paizo) at least should give some different opinions, hopefull it's okay I ask them here. I like the 3.5 system and I like Paizo. What has been released so far isn't the new Pathfinder RPG (this I understand)but what is it? And when will the new released stuff be non-3.5 (but still compatible?).

What will I be playing?

I hope I'm not asking for too much information, I've just been hoarding these questions and think it's about time I ask them. Hopefully some of you can help me out.
