Have you considered running war of the wielded between TiNH and BWG? It would fit quite nicely and has a link to older thieves guilds of Sasserine. You could even make one of the factions the lotus dragons and have the PC's side with the other faction. Only later to find out that they're not exactly the good guys either...
Welcome Jerome
you mean flipping burgers, right?
Oh boy, the crest. I left it out myself as it is a bit of a spoiler. The connection between the town crest and the cagewrights has never been properly explained in official sources. You could go two ways with this: The first option is that the crest was originally the family crest of Surabar Spellmason, who founded Cauldron and later Redgorge. Perhaps Spellmason took on the crest after defeating the armies of the Lord of the Demonscar, as a sort of war trophy. You could further tie in Nabatheron to Adimarchus as one of his generals, or perhaps as the lieutenant of the original General, who was defeated by Spellmason. The second and more sinister option is that Valhantru replaced the original crest with this one over a long period of time. Updating the previous crest (which could be a mountain with a sun over it or something) with each itteration so that it looks more and more like the eye in flames. The changes coincide with Valhantru's allegiance and rise within the ranks of the cagewrights. That way, you could have the PC's discover previous iterations of the crest on old documents and have them link it to Valhantru. I'm curious which way you are going to take this. Keep us informed!
You would be amazed how many people have only a rudimentary grasp of how they should do their job. I should know, I'm one of people that provide *those services*
the really really short answer is that Greece spends to much and does not earn enough. There are quite a number of contributing factors. In no particular order, some of those are: the wellfare state: Greece has a fairly sophisticated wellfare system (moreso than the US, less than Germany or France). Although I don't claim to know the details, one of the aspects that has been most publicized is that the pension age for most civil servants is 55, whereas it is 65 in the rest of the EU. In other words, Greek taxpayers have to support 10 years worth of extra pension AND the average number of productive years of Greek civil servants is much lower. Greece is an agricultural society, but is organized as an industrial one. That means the government is much larger than it needs to be in order to support Greek Society. Greece is also part of the Euro zone, which puts high demands on Greek budget and policy/spending The tax system is not very effective. A significant part of the taxes are never collected. The government is effectively spending money it has on paper, but will probably never receive. Greece misrepresented their budget to the European Commission, allowing the above situation to continue and worsen longer than would otherwise have been the case. The European Commission was less than rigorous in auditing the Greek budget, also worsening the situation.
yeah, I hope to do a couple of builds for this AP. I have the sea wyvern (actually the maiden from world works) I also plan to make a model of farshore for the players to use and adjust during ToD The ziggurat and the wreck are also on the list. As for artistic skills. All I have is a little patience and even less time. Give it a go and share what you've got :) If you want some decent design/kitbash skills - carborundum's your go-to guy.
Mine was cardboard and acrylic paint. The grid was the easiest part to be honest. Just lay on the cutting mat, mark the intersections and draw the lines. Most of the work was getting thy measurements right so I could build on two levels. The rest of the complex is easier... maybe I will do those tomorrow evening. Let's see wht I can manage.
We're about to enter the shrine to Demogorgon. I thought I would create a nice little model for the set piece battle in the Harem for when the PC's teleport in. tell me what you think.
Aligator Handbag! Get yer Alligator Handbags right here. Lowest price this side of the Abyss Get yer Aligator Handbags!
[New feat/spell/class feature] is fine the way it is. Maybe [you / your players / your GM] is the problem. The intention of the rule clearly disallows [questionable possibility], as well as [exactly what the feat/spell/class feature was supposed to let you do]. If you read the rules carefully, you'll see [dissects text. takes fragments out of context]. Clearly, the rule should give more leeway, allowing [broken option].
I don't see why arial grapples would not work. The only problem I see is that this tactic would take a minimum of 2 rounds and 2 succesful grapple checks, as well as 2 failed checks by your opponent to break free to succeed. In round 1, grapple the opponent as a standard action (make a grapple check)
btw, at a move rate of 30, you would be able to move your opponent a total distance of 5 feet into the air, because you have to halve it twice. At a move rate 40, you would get your opponent 10 feet in the air, and could do 1d6 points of damage from the drop. Feats like flyby would not work btw. You could grapple as part of your charge, but you can only move while grappling if you start your turn as the controller.
I've both played and run games for non-native speakers quite a lot. I've noticed that, especially if the non-natative speakers share a different language, they will often switch back and forward between the two. This is expecially true in roleplaying situations or in situations that require the player to articulate an idea in some detail, such as a complex combat situation or skill check. I've allways been ok with this as a GM, but it depends on your goals for the session. For example, if you want to teach english to these players, or want them to improve their language skills, I would immagine you would have an english only rule at the table. For most games in which we did not have native english speakers at the table, the entire game is run in the players native tongue. I usually just translate most things on the fly. Stuff that doesn not get translated are game terms such as the stats, feats, skills and spells, as well as propper names such as the names of NPCs and towns.
I've noticed that in the Carrion Crown AP, there have been a few references to different Pathfinder RPG books (such as the Advanced Player's Guide, the Gamemastery Guide and Adventurer's Armory), without reprinting the relevant rules. I know that most GM's own the material and that that the limited space is better served to advance the story in the AP. However, my understanding has always been that the Core rules and the Bestiary contained everything you need to run an AP. In other words, if a rule didn't appear in one of those books, it would be reprinted in the AP. At least, that is how it used to be in the Dungeon adventures and the AP's up to now. The managing editors confirmed that quite a few times in previous years. So my question is, has this changed and, if so, what books is a GM expected to own now?
It's also about self preservation. It's much easier to ask others to respect your intellectual property if you do the same. A company like Paizo, that puts massive amounts of content out there (and in easy to copy PDF's no less), has every reason to not only follow the letter of the law, but the intent as well. It's just good business sense.
And, in other news: Boondoggle! I kicked my in-laws ass with monopoly last week. bring it ON
