Awww... why only available in small!?

Don't get me wrong, I love the iconics.

I think the screen deserved original landscape art, it's a missed opportunity.

The GM charts are awesome and I think this will be an screen I actually get to use).

Good news! It has cleared, and assuming the truck doesn't explode on the way to our warehouse, we should be able to begin sending it out next week.

Of all the new classes, this one seems the least "needed." The basic description is reminiscent of a cool Prestige Class not a base class

Having said that, what do we want this class to accomplish? What powers, abilities, etc?

I hope I can do a Varthlokkur type of character, or any wizard in that world really.

As the title reads, thanks in advance!

Really enjoying this so far. Just wondering where in the real world people are posting from?

Well guys, everything looks good to me so far. No problems with any of your requests. Looking forward to starting, maybe as soon as weekend.

Can I exchange the animal companion for a feat?

Let me introduce to you Theledor, elven archer and undead hunter. Work in progress

I join this plea, I intend to use the PDF during games using my netbook which has an atom processor, not a beefy machine by any standard and I would benefit from a mostly text version. lighter processing also means longer battery life.

I love the idea, but I think these dice are unreadable

So, we have:-

Dragonborn = cleric

JZ = paladin

PsionicFox = to be decided

RaFon = Rogue

Dark Minstrel = Wizard

Edward Sobel = Dwarf Fighter

Thats enough I think, so if everyone can now go ahead and create a character, we should have a pretty balanced party.

I would like to play, though I am not sure what.

Wow! Did no one post anything??? Where's the love? Did anyone put up anything about thing about all the upcoming APs James and I blabed about? :P

Those go out when we begin the fulfillment process for your order (which is not the same as when the order ships). We have an automated queue and a manual queue; which queue you're in is determined by the contents and shipping method of your package. Folks in the automated queue would have received that e-mail when they entered the queue a week ago; folks in the manual queue will get the e-mail when the warehouse actually prepares your order for pickup.

Based on the USPS estimate for Priority Mail to your address, your order should ship today.

So, folks who paid for express shipping on the RPG may or may not get their book any earlier than the release date, but they also shouldn't get their book *later* than the release date, and that's not true of other shipping methods.

I didn't receive a "your order will ship by" email.

Sorry, guys. We appreciate the anticipation, but we need to stick to our street date on this. Only a few more days!

The PDF will be available for download at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, August 13.

I think it should be called Paizcon MMX, it has a nice ring to it

I like it a lot, I have done it myself twice in 2 different campaigns, one set in Dragonlance (2e) and the other one in Eberron.

I use pregens and with the idea of foreshadowing current events in the campaign. It works very nicely, but you shouldn't do it more than once /per campaign because people prefer to play *their* characters.

I will be getting this.

The only thing I hate about gencon is all the cool stuff that is released *at the same time*.

What it probably means is that, for monsters appearing in the adventures that don't have their stats fully printed out, we'll preview those pages on paizo.com or something like that. We're not 100% sure how we'll work this out yet, but it WILL have some sort of similar solution.

Going back to the first edition of the game that I played (2e) I kind of liked racial level limits. it was one of the few edges humans had.

I think racial favored classes were the 3.X "equivalent". I am not too keen on how PFRPG handles this, really. I'll probably house rule it.

DiceHouse got its posters. Sweet! Now gearing up to do a Pathfinder RPG Day in September. Woohoo!

Why not August?

I was thinking of creating an adventure that uses bonus bestiary monsters only.

Anyways, let me know if you want help with this event.

Juan,

What do you think about scheduling to run PFS games with the new ruleset at Gateway?

I might try to do something separate as well, plus I am going to run my Terminator True20 game :)

So...

Dark Markets of Katepesh is a Chronicles product about a Golarion region; while Osiron, Land of the Pharaohs is a Companion product about a Golarion region.

What's the difference? As far as I can tell, the Chronicles are bigger and more in depth, where the Companions only get 32 pages. Does one or the other tend to be more rules-ish? How do you decide whether a region "deserves" one or the other?

I admit, I feel like the Egyptian-esque region deserves more exploration than it got.

Update:

We've made some decisions regarding shipping of the Core Rulebook (and other August subscription products) and Core Rulebook PDF distribution. Here's the lowdown:

Assuming there are no major problems getting the Core Rulebook into our warehouse, we anticipate shipping subscriber orders and preorders starting the first week of August. We'll attempt to stagger-ship them based on transit time so that as many copies as possible arrive as close to the August 13 release date as we can manage. Of course, that's all up to the postal system—some folks will get it a day or two earlier, and some later.

The PDF will become available on August 13 as the Gen Con floor opens. The PDF will be priced at $9.99. Pathfinder RPG subscribers will get it for free (but not until the release date).

Well I don't want to rain on all the fun but I'm taking a wait and see position on this product. Maybe its because I'm a 'relative' Old Timer when it comes to RPG's (not just DnD), or that after 15 years I'm now looking for a new carrer have to be more careful with my money;

Sorry I don't see the need for a DMG 2 already, and it screams out "Hey a PG and DMG in one book just couldn't be done".

Moreover from what I've read on this tread (Mind you I've skimmed not read every word so please correct me if I'm wrong)the think I'm most intreasted in is missing, that being a Conversion Guide.

I would advice anyone wanting to play a bard to watch The Gamers: Dorkness Rising.

PFS Faction Dice!, with a similar effect to that of the shirts, but also with the benefits of being much more portable and able to remain clean for long periods of time :D

Just don't make them runic, I find those very hard to read.

Yea! on both counts. I was worried I would be known as "lefty" for the rest of my adventuring career.

I'm curious. Assuming it involves no explicit scenerio spoilers, how did you lose a hand playing by 3.5 core rules?

I would let him fill in the details :)

here: PFRPG > 3.5

smurftastic

I love that the book aims at complementing my existing bookshelf rather than obsoleting it. I hope the focus of the line remains the same for as long as possible.

Go Paizo!

You're right, "We'll be back" :D

Thanks guys, it was much fun, wish we had had time to finish it!

Into the Scarlet Monastery

This was a late addition to the program, so I'm not surprised it's not full. I've already gone and painted another set of PC minis for this event, and I'd rather not end up canceling it for only having 2 players, so sign up!

Did I mention that if you play in this game, you get to keep the mini for your character? :)

No experience is required, if you have played a d20 game it will be easy

Ok, great! Looking forward to it.

So jealous....have fun, guys

I don't have any True20 experience, but if you'd like another player I'm interested.

The following information is passed on to new recruits, and repeated over and over in hopes that they will remember it when their lives depend on it, luckily you have been fighting terminators for a long time.

• Radio silence is very important, if you have to break it use innuendo to confuse Skynet, unless that's exactly what you want...

• The same trick won't work twice with Skynet, it's a damned fast thinking machine.

• HKs are generally not very smart.

• All Terminators are connected to Skynet, once a Terminator is aware of your presence, you can bet the others will be on alert.

• Concentrated fire is the best way to take a Terminator down.

• Always, I repeat, always make sure Terminators are down for good. Given enough time and fallen comrades, a terminator can repair itself.

• Terminators know their weapons, and probably know better than you how much ammo is left in your clip, don't let them catch you off guard.

• Terminators usually take on the biggest threats first.
  

Hi,

Though I will be there on Thursday, I won't be going to the meet and greet.

I count 4 players signed up: mearrin69, taig, zylphryx and Derek Poppink.

If you go to the meet and greet, mention this game, perhaps we can still get a full table. Any characters that go unused will still participate as NPCs, and if your character dies, you can pick up one of them.

As for recognizing me, I will be the one with the true20 books near the paizocon reg. area or lobby, and wearing a Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith baseball cap.

I was hoping it would be available for sale at the Con (given the release date silence). Oh well :)

I don't see a level requirement for this event.
If we don't have a PFS char we can make one and bring it to the event? Or will they be provided?

If you don't have a character I assume you'll start from scratch.

The 3.5 version of psionics is *currently* the best version of psionics there is. There was a strong attempt at making it more balanced while keeping its distinct flavor. However, I think it deserves the pathfinder treatment, if only to keep the rules in print. XPH is crazy expensive these days. Plus it's part of the SRD.

Do the hotel rooms have irons?

Need any other robotish minis? Dark Troopers? Some of the Huge SW vehicles?
