Thank you for your answer, Vic!
So I consider it unavailable for the time. :)

Wow, thanx for sharing!

I don't know if Gary already managed to get this "combine non-subscribtion-items-to-the-monthly-shipment" stuff done already. but I wonder if you could send my CBoEM together with one of my monthly shipments.
Vic said somehwere else Gars might get it done in january. If so, I would gladly wait another month to get CBoEM shipped with my monthly shipment.
Any chance this could be done?!

I ended up doing a little sidetrack in Whistledown, heavily inspired by Carnival of Tears. Wicked fey coming down from the North to hunt humans--the PCs managed to convince the Cold Rider that he would get better sport out of the Sandpoint Devil. I also managed to use them as indicators that the Sanos Forest was under dark times, foreshadowing the nymph ghost in HMM.

Hmm, I think this is a good idea to foreshadow coming events. Thanx for the idea, Demiurge!

Oh - Seoni's backside...

*blushes*
There I am sitting at my desk, putting my PFS-modules in a neat binder, and it never occured to me to check those things out for my current campaign! Thanx Lisa, I know now, what to read tonight! :)

SideNote: I use the Beta rules and therefore, the pcs seem to be a bit tougher than the normal 3.5 pcs. As I only occasional change stuff in the modules, they sometimes had a bit of an easier time with some encounters. However,

Ok, N'wah, in the Spirit of what Daigle said, I promise to buy all the sets you have for the Legacy of Fire AP, even if it's just to help you getting momentum in your endeavor (is that correct english?!).

Now go, and make them double-sided, I will also promise to say you look nice without your hair! ;)

I also like Seven Swords of sin, but it's already for 8th level pcs, and soo deadly, that it won't fit for my 6th level pc group.

(...)So far the availability of the Tome of Horrors Revised as PDF-only didn't prevent many people from using it, either. ;-) So this can't be a decisive reason against Ptolus modules.

I am with you, Günther, except for this quote above. Using monster-pdfs is far easier than using such a huge thing that Ptolus is.

However, Ptolus not being in print anymore shouldn't be a reason not to produce stuff for it!

(...)

If it were me, I would consider breaking up the Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale into smaller bits to get some mini-adventures for some or all of these hooks.

Another option is to run the Gamemastery adventure "Carnival of Tears," under the assumption that the ghost nymph from later in "Hook Mountain Massacre" is behind all the events of that adventure.

Hope this is helpful!

Very helpful indeed! Thanx, WelbyBumpus!

I will check both ideas, but I think breaking up CONQUEST OF B-VALE will be just the thing I was searching for.
I just found the adventure Witching Season (somewhere on the WotC side, from "GreatGreenGod" Mathew B. Conklin. Might also work for a swamp sidetreck on their way to Turtleback.

Some thoughts from me:

- If the pdfs would include colored and uncolored minis I would pay $5.99. Would be cool to color them myself.

- The ONLY one thing why I not started to buy the WotC miniatrues lines was that booster crap! If I need minis I want to KNOW what I get for my mones, and especially CHOOSE what minis I buy! So making smaller pdfs with special selections would be awesome.

- It would be also great to just download a single mini if you need it. Again, colored and uncolored for $0.99 or something.

- If you could make one single pdf with, let's say 2 minis, and put it up for free with all the other $5.99 pdfs, it would surely help to sell your stuff, becaue people could actually try those minis first, before spending money.

Can't wait to see those pdfs! I hope you sell them well and wish you all the best!!!

Well, I used

The party is all 6th level now (and far from 7th). I have a Sarenrae cleric, a fighter and a rogue(1)/sorcerer (5). Plus an NPC (Merisiel).

Now I search for a quick module to get them all the way to 7th level or at least almost there...

Now, that my players are about to make the trip to Turtleback Ferry and start the Hook Mountain Massacre, I get the dread feeling, they are falling behind in levels.
Now I have two questions:

1.) Did anybody else experienced this?
2.) What have you done against it. I plan on doing a little adventure on their trip to Turtleback, but presently don't know of a fitting adventure or module.

Any Paizonians who can help a fellow DM out of this?! Would be great...

Aaannd... bumped again...

I have no need for Psionics or Epic books.

More races or also something which I don't need. Some new classes might be fine, but I think we already have enough.

I also don't need more PrCl. If you keep them focused, and only do a few that might be ok, but there are far too many out there already!

"Complete" books would make me not to subscribe, because I never really used any of them in 3E. Those books are the stuff why a system could become too croweded with rules and exceptions, as well as very special options.

However, I loved the "Tome of Magic" from WotC. The three described versions of Magic are awesome and something along those lines would be a must-have for me!

I loved the "Volo's Guide to XXX" books for the Forgotten Realms. Such a thing for Golarion would be too cool not to have. As well as some "real" PF-Chronicles...

Yep, I am all for fluff, and less for crunch!

A book which details the various secret and powergroups of Golarion in more detail would be awesome!

And finally - I would love it, if you'd do those books like the Beta print-version and not in hardcover! Far easier to use and VERY good binding as well! Would make them cheaper as well, wouldn't it?!

And thanx for asking us in the first place!

Yeah, Happy Birthday, Jay-Jay! ;)

Did I hear that rumor correct?!

(...)And I'm wondering how good the adventures would be if you don't have the book for it. If it's that easy to plug n play things, then why not just buy city based adventures and drop em into Ptolus?(...)

There, sir, you have a point! Sure, I use all manner of Urban adventures in my Ptolus campaign, but having Ptolus specific ones would be awesome. And yes, it might be hard to pull off a modules set in Ptolus which could be useable for everyone. But I am sure you could take care of that.

(...)

May you all survive the holidays ;-)

Trying hard! ;)

Merry Xmas to all Paizonians!

Ptolus is anything but a dead world! Its just that it's no longer availale in print, but every single chapter can be bought at Drivethrurpg or rpgnow.
Ptolus modules will not stay long in a Paizo warehouse, I am so sure of that!

PS A merry christmas to all posters and everyone (really everyone) at Paizo! ;)

I don't see any reason to support a dead world. The book was published and there seems no intention of reprinting it. I've wanted to get my hands on one but doesn't seem it's in the cards heh.

I doubt from a business perspective it makes any sense to publish materials for Ptolus.

I disagree. Ptolus is a finished product which is awesome in itself. You can play a lifetime in this city, without ever leaving it. The possibility of setting Ptolus in another campaign setting (like Golarion, Eberron, or the others) is giving this product an unbelievable huge range of usage in any campaign!

New sourcebooks are not really neccessary (it's all in there, already), but adventures are! Having a bunch of modules set in Ptolus would be awesome, and a good buy for anyone, having the book or not.
more to come...

I will likely set Ptolus as Absalom.

I hat the same thought, but after seeing the picture of Absalom in the blog, I think Absalom is cool enough to stand alone. I need to find another place for Ptolus on Gollarion now!

I say it again, and will say it another million times, if I need to - Paizo doing Ptolus adventure modules would kick a**, so abso-fu**ing-lutely! I sure would buy them!

Congrats, Ben! Can't wait to see you idea!

AWESOME calender, Hugo!
Thanx for your work and sharing it!!!

Can't find it to save my life, but ENWorld had a thread before their boards blew up in the move to 4E that was all about changing the flavor of monsters so that they were unrecognizable to experienced players.

Example (someone elses idea, from that thread):
The party could be attacked in the graveyard by a ghoulish-looking spirit creature that assumes the forms of deceased loved ones and beguiles people into serving it. When they are fighting it, it dives into a grave and vanishes, only to pop up from another grave to press the assault. The mist that creeps along the ground moves like a living thing, and bony hands thrust up from the earth to grab at their ankles, as if attempting to pull them into graves of their own.

Use the stats for a Dryad. Instead of moving through trees, she jumps through gravestones. The deceptive appearance as a dead relative is her charm person. The grasping skeletal hands is her version of Entangle. No amount of undead turning or bane (undead) weapons or holy water is going to affect her, she's a fey. A dark, unpleasant sort of fey, but fey nonetheless.

Thank you so much, Set, for kind of "reposting" that idea here! AWESOME!

Thanx to you all for explaining what happened.
I normally get a bit worried when I get asked my pasword in places where I was never asked before. But it helps making things secure, so its a good change!

I once had a store sending me an eMail, asking if I really placed an order (which I had not). I asked how they came to ask me this, and they explained that I normally ordered stuff for below 20 bucks, and than came that huge order of over 500 euros. So they got worried. I was glad they asked, and the order never got out.

One GOOD example of how "knowing" consumer behaviour might help.

I am always logged in here at Paizo.
Now, when I want to go to "My Account" or "My Subscriptions" or "My Downloads" I get always asked to log in again, even if at the uppermost line of this site, it reads "Welcome, Tom Ganz", which indicates that I am logged in already.

The dots, showing me were the threads are at which I've posted are also gone. I now disabled my "remember payment method for future purchases" just in case.

Would be cool if you could check that, please.

Greetz,
Tom

I think a Pathfinder basic set would be an awesome idea, provided it came in a red box.

I immediately realized that the PFRPG book is red! Made me feel like jumping back into those redbox times!

I wonder if Paizo chose the color on purpose...

Oh fun, here's mine:

Vegetable Cutter
Aura strong evocation : CL -
Slot - ; Price -; Weight –
Description
In the hands of any female this is just an ordinary, wood-framed vegetable cutter. But as soon as a human male touches it, it reveals its full properties as a +10 keen vorpal human man bane vegetable cutter, and runes start to glow on its wooden frame, reading in common: ”Danger, do not touch! Keen, vorpal and sharp!”
A man gets a Will Save (DC20) to not show off when a woman is nearby watching (this DC increases by 5 for every woman present beyond the first).
On an attack roll of 1-7 it scores a criticial fumble threat. If the fumble is not confirmed, the user takes 1d4 damage and 1d6 bleeding damage until magically healed. If a fumble is scored, the user loses 1d3 fingers and takes also 2d6 bleed until bandaged by a woman. Present women start to grin after a fumble (important, they do not laugh just grin) which increases the males Will Save DC by another 10 points if he uses the cutter again within the next 5 rounds. Any Bluff or Intimidate checks made against women after such a critical also receive a -5.
Construction
Requirements Nothing is known about this hellish device as it seems only women can create such an item, and they seem to keep its construction a secret at all costs.

Glad you liked Pathgrinder!
For a non-native speaker, this is just great.
I can't wait to see both you efforts on those comics - I wish for you that Paizo is making them official; you deserve it!

You might wanna read this, then.

WOW, thanx for this link, Sean!

AWESOME!

I just finished browsing my Dungeon and Dragon magazine collection, reading Scale mail and the editorials. Some articles and adventures, because I was searching stuff for my RotRL campaign.
After I put the magazines back on my shelve I realized howhard I miss them both!
I love to get Pathfinder every month, but its not the same. The kobold Quarterly is out there and great (and I have every issue by now), but its not my Dungeon or Dragon magazine.
I miss my fan-zine, harder than I thought!

Well, maybe I am just a bit on the drama-side of life...

(...)I know I'm a minority though.

You are! ;)

Well, a "white sample" implies that the content is already known, doesn't it?! So how about new ideas we might come up?! Seems there's no way of changing anything from now on... or am i wrong?!

More disadvantages could include:

- hindered at walking
- phobias of any kind
- stuttering
- deafness
- blindness
- outlook

...during character creation could be cool if it brings you more points to your stats.

for expample:

Shortsightetness
Disadvantages
-5 on every skill which needs you to read, perception and disable device
25% chance to accidently putting your friends into the effect of a misplaced area spell.
-1 to hit
Benefit
gain 2 ability points to distribute as you like

Be aware, that this is only a thought which I didn't work out in detail. But something along those lines might be cool to have in the PFRPG.
Thoughts?

YESSS! Might be as short a fight as this one!

Why you shouldn't show off....

What if Lobo would care for any of the superheros...Oh wait, he smacked up Superman already... :)

What if Lobo and Hulk where actually brothers and asked Conan and He-Man to "clean up" earth...

Yes, you get to know who/what is behind all happenings which have taken place during CROWN OF THE KOBOLD KING and REVENGE OF THE KOBOLD KING.
I don't know if I am allowed to do this, but I cold copy/paste the background info here as a spoiler...

MONAstic...errr...Fantastic! ;)

Happy M-Day!!!

Wow, all those posts and no one bothered with an obvious "Goonies" reference?

"Heeeey yoooou Guuuuys!"

The god is Sloth!

Thanx, Daniel!

Great Movie and glad someone made the reference... :)
Now back to the topic!

Nicely done! Can't wait to read the stuff of you both! Congrats!!!

My avatar? Its a CabbageHead, so...

Absolutely!
