Tell us about your characters to win BOOKS!

I'll be honest, that 25 word cap is rough! Took me 4 tries to get it to 25 without losing something important. And it's still in first draft form.

Here's my question for our valued 3PP folks here: will you continue with PF1 content or are you looking more towards a full switch to PF2?

I don't need a PF1.5 (D&D3.875), but I'm not sure I'm sold yet on PF2 based on what I've seen so far.

I understand creating content for SW, PF1, PF2 and 5E could start to become cost prohibitive quickly. I'm just checking the waters now, fully understanding they could be completely different around PF2 launch.

So this will be the first AP that starts PCs above 1st?

You really seem to be energized by this one, like way more than I've seen from you in quite some time (based on board postings). Happy to see you back that way again.

I'd absolutely be in favor of an NPCC2. I love using the original and since I know many of my players have or have access to the original, I tend to mix and match the art based on what I want for the story flavor and then find the stat block based on what I need for future encounters.

There were plenty of unassuming looking characters in there that I had much more massive stats waiting for when the PCs got to them. Wasn't hard to do at the table and my notes either, just kept notes on which page the art I showed was and where the stat block I needed was at.

I've pushed an interim possible fix for the sessions logout issue while we figure out a better permanent solution. It has definitely logged everyone out BUT that should be the last time for awhile. Thanks for your patience on this one. It was not a solution I wanted to implement over the long weekend without being able to watch it extensively.

Hey it worked! I was logged in today when I came here. Thanks Lissa, Dean and everyone involved.

Also, seeing some speed improvements today, could be a result of Firefox's update.

Everyone, We are aware of the logout issues and understand cause. The fix is in the last stages of development and should be ready for deployment in the next day or so. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused,

Hey Dean, thank you for the update. Glad to see that you folks are all on top of it.

I did have to log back in today, but it may be that the fix for that particular issue came in after I shut down yesterday. I can check again tomorrow now that I know this was not a me thing or a Firefox thing, v56.X has had some issues for me, thought this might be one of them.

I did have to log in again today. Yesterday I didn't make here, but I did have a browser cache clearing to deal with some work issues. So maybe that one is still buried out there somewhere?

To add details like major writing credits and cover artist to the product description when new Paizo products are launched on the site? And then updating it when the final description/cover art is released? But like for all products? I've seen it on some, but not all.

I've never been a big poster here and it's gotten way less over the years. I found myself feeling not welcome and generally like I wasn't even playing the same game, since apparently the style I tend to play is much more relaxed than many others here. There are plenty of forums I tend to not go into because of the exact kind of posting behavior others have described. I mostly just read a few things and move on.

I've never felt super welcome on the forums and just less so over the years.

WizKids did not sell enough of the goblin or undead sets to continue with this format, though I do think it's probably the most appropriate for a dungeon dressing set. It's something I will continue to discuss with them. I know we're all pleased with how well the dungeon dressing singles have been selling.

Would a format similar to the Dragon Evolution or the Iconic Heroes be more viable? Like a set of dungeon pieces, ancient crypts, treasure hoards work? Just a thought on it.

Cool, thanks. :) Biggest issue I tend to have with links posted here on Paizo, is the forum can bury the thread quickly.

Even though the content has not 100% sold me yet, this cover logo mix up thing has me wanting the book for sheer amusement. I don't see egg on your collective faces (except Jason, but he still needs a required Gauntlet face punch, so what's a little egg?) but just a big dopey grin of amusement. Because that's what you do. :)

I'm actually quite surprised (pleasantly so) at the backer level price points for this. I was initially thinking it might be comparable to The Lost Lands KS. I'm tentatively in right now, pending spousal approval. :)

My wife found a way to make this guy more awesome shortly after we got him. We'd also picked up a pair of We Be Goblins just to round out our minis buying excursion. So, shortly after we'd unboxed Big Green here, we had Poog of Zargonel standing next to him. My wife grabbed Poog, and fitted him into Green's claw. Poog locked into place and now lives permanently clutched, about to be eaten.

I'm in the 'missing the maps' camp. My wife and I really enjoyed getting that little extra with my comic. As for the homage covers, they really did not do it for me. I would prefer they did not return so I could get something a little more, I guess, traditional or more related to the story inside.

Back over here, Wes said we should start statting up some metagame artifacts.

So here's a starter thread for those intrepid enough to take up his mighty challenge! :)

Well, just to demonstrate that there are still folks who know how to do Free RPG Day right, I stopped in at my FLGS (Grand Cities Games in Grand Forks, ND) and picked up the module. No participation necessary, though I did pick up a Rite Publishing product in the spirit of supporting the store!

Grand Cities Games was always awesome when it came to Free RPG Day. My wife and I used to have stuff set aside for us so we didn't have to be there at door opening! We'd make our way over and Rob would pull out the goods for us! We made sure to buy something else that day too.

I'm in a similar position here. I love the direction this set is going and I completely understand where the pricing is coming from, but I can't really swing the whole deal at one time this go round. So I might grab a brick or so and then pick the rest up in bits and pieces. :)

These are incredibly awesome to check out. I love Shalelu, but I'm a sucker for a good ranger-y type mini. Also, I don't think I'd ever seen Seoni's back before.

Holy wow. Open playtest of RPGSS entries? That is definitely a way to find out what works and what doesn't!

Huge twist and totally Paizo!

I'm so glad that these stone giants are more than just large sized, block grey giants with a club stuck in midswing. I've got plenty of stone giants stuck in that pose. And none actually throwing a dang stone.

Now, there's one rock thrower, a spear wielder and a magic using one?! Are you guys crazy?? YOU CAN'T ROCK THE STATUS QUO!!

Spoiler:
Please keep doing so!

Would you be able to take the entire set, put them on a desk or a table (the one in the library room perhaps?) arrange them in a big battle royale and then take some action pictures?

Including the black dragon. Can't forget that one either. :)

It's amazing to see these guys in the perfect preview image, but there's just something about seeing a big, huge set of minis all laid.

I love that the guard has a lantern. I can't remember the last time I encountered or really ran a guard in a town that wasn't at night when they needed it the most. Nice touch.

The orc brute is badass. Good job!

They brew their own beer now. So after you have visited new babies and gotten your fill, you can eat a burger and drink a new beer. It's the perfect fix for having been crawled all over by new babies. ;)

Do spinning dart boards have "bottoms"?

At any single point in time, an object moving can be defined as having a top and a bottom relative to another plane (such as a floor and ceiling of a room).

So, yes.

But given time and the motion of the object, that bottom can be rapidly changing and incredibly hard to hit. ;)

Well, I asked James Jacobs to write it, and he did. It's not the first time we've had a Paizo author in Kobold Quarterly, and certainly not the last: they do great stuff.

So... I'm not sure how much closer the ties between Open Design and Paizo can be without me taking a job with the Paizo crew. It's great working with them, and bringing some previews to KQ.

It's really great to have this kind of material. It makes me want KQ more and miss Dragon just a little less. :)

If you and your group allow house rules or homebrews, here's a feat mine created some time ago:

Improved Weapon Finesse

It works for my group. Some can argue it as a feat tax, but I don't think of it that way. It's more representing the time it takes to learn how to best finesse the weapon you wield to maximize damage based on speed and skill. Kinda like how fighters can go down the Weapon Spec/Great weapon Spec and so on to become better with their chosen weapons.

Count me in the group that had never heard of this before. I've been playing on and off since the mid80's. None of my groups ever used this as a general point for play. Most of us would figure out a weapon and armor of some kind. Then we'd work to get a ring or amulet. Someone might get a cloak if they needed to boost a save. But I can't remember any of us working towards all 6.

Different play, I guess.
