Harsk: "Hey look, The Pathfinder Ride... Wow, Neat!"

Tenku: "Gimmie a break!"

Merisiel: "I dont like this!!!"

Kobolds: *Singing*
"It's a world of laughter,
A world of tears.
It's a world of hopes,
And a world of fears.
There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware,
It's a small world after all.

Chorus:
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small, small world. "

Party runs out screaming!

What could Paizo do with the millions of dollars it would cost to acquire the D&D branding? How long would it take to get a return on that investment?

I don't have access to any numbers, but I suspect whatever WotC would ask for the D&D brand is far more than Paizo would be willing to spend on it.

Why buy the brand when you already have the customers?

And here we see Merisiel and Harsk giving some kobolds the bird.

"I thought this game was called Dungeons & Dragons, not Tunnels & Ravens!"

Thanks everyone!

I started freelancing because of this community of crazy fools and I'm glad as hell to get this job.

He's still a little skeptical of the outside world

Also, just for future reference, saying things like use common sense doesn't help a thing

Sorry, but I'm never going to give up hope that people will actually try to think about what makes sense instead of being deliberately obtuse and demanding a page of explanation for every rule.

It's impossible to write a rule so clearly that everyone will understand it. This rule is going to be weird because (1) the question of "what exactly is negative/positive energy" isn't explained in detail anywhere, and (2) positive/negative energy effects are in just about every hardcover we've published. Ideally, we'd go back through EVERY rule that uses pos or neg energy and clarify what it does to living creatures and undead, and state in the NEA ability that the creature is always treated as undead for these abilities. But we don't have that option, so the GM is going to have to--dramatic music--make a call.

The GM is not a robot. You have a brilliant human brain, the product of millions of years of evolution. I'm complementing you by saying, "I think you can figure this out."

Today we're introducing private messaging for paizo.com. This is a feature that's been requested a lot over the years and it's finally arrived at the top of the todo list. Here's the current FAQ for private messaging. (Note that I will not update this post if the FAQ changes, for the latest private messaging FAQ, see the actual FAQ.)

What are private messages?
Private messages are direct text-only messages between individual paizo.com members. You may format your messages using messageboards BBCode. You cannot edit messages after they have been sent. There is no delivery confirmation for private messages, and no guarantee that the recipient will ever see or reply to a message.

Where are my private messages?
Your private messages are on the "Private Messages" tab on your profile page, which you can access by clicking the envelope icon next to your name at the top of the page. If you have unread messages the icon will be highlighted and the number of new messages will be displayed next to it.

How do I send someone a private message?
Find that person's profile page, and click "Send Private Message." You may also click "Add to Address Book" to make it easier to find them later. If you do not see either of these links, that person has either opted out of private messaging or blocked messages from you.

I don't want to receive private messages. How do I opt out?
You can opt out of the private messaging system by unchecking the box labeled "Members of paizo.com may send me private messages" on your My Account page and clicking the "Submit Changes" button. If you opt out you cannot send or receive private messages.

Can I block someone from sending me private messages?
You can block the sender of any private message you receive by clicking "Block This Sender" on that message. Blocking a person prevents them from being able to send you new messages. Any existing messages to or from that person will remain in your inbox or sent messages until you delete those messages. You can unblock people on the Address Book tab of your private messages page.

Should I use private messaging to contact Paizo staff?
If you're asking a rules question, please post it on the messageboards instead. Paizo staff will not respond to rules questions via private messaging.

Should I use private messaging for customer service questions?
Please either post in the customer service forum or email customer.service@paizo.com if you have customer service issues. Paizo customer service may send you private messages to request additional information from you if that's the best way to resolve your issue.

Someone is harassing me via private messaging. What do I do?
If you no longer want to receive private messages from someone, block them. Please contact Paizo customer service to report abuse.

Can I delete my private messages?
Yes. Deleted messages will appear in the "deleted" tab on your private messages page. Clicking the "move to inbox" or "move to sent messages" link next to a message will move it back to your inbox or sent messages. If you click "empty trash" and confirm this action, your messages will be permanently removed from your deleted tab. If you delete a message you sent to someone else, that message will be deleted from your sent messages but will remain in their inbox. You cannot see if someone has deleted a message you sent.

Can I search, sort or file my private messages or contacts into categories? Can I have incoming messages forwarded to my email?
No.

Will Paizo staff read my private messages?
Your private messages are considered private, however messages may be reviewed by Paizo staff or disclosed to appropriate law enforcement agencies if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to investigate abuse or ensure personal safety.

Additional stuff that's not in the FAQ
You can send private messages to and from an alias. There are dropdown menus on the compose message page if you or your intended recipient has any aliases. You can't block aliases or add aliases to your address book; blocking or adding an alias blocks or adds the actual person, not the alias.

There's a saying that every software project expands until it eventually handles email, and I'd like to keep this one just shy of that point for now. This implementation of private messaging is deliberately bare-bones. So you can't sort your messages into categories or folders or tag them, or mark them as unread or flagged, or forward them to someone else, or include a CC or BCC list, or get an RSS feed of your messages, or include attachments, or send a message to groups of people, or organize your contacts into circles or friends or anything else fancy like that. If you need those features, use the private messaging system to ask someone for their email address and then use your email client for that.

Please use this thread to report bugs in the private messaging system. (Feature requests should also go in this thread, but keep in mind the bare-bones design goal.)

Edit: The privacy policy has been updated to include information about private messaging.

The Glabrezu is amazing. I always hated the red waving DDM one. I know the paintjob we will end up with wont look as good as the picture but the sculpt has me drooling.

So this new set will have more minis, and have Huges in it? I know I cannot help myself. I MUST own a case....but I dread and fear how much this case will cost. And if one case isnt enough to get the entire set I'll really cry. I just aint that rich.

Forgive my ignorance...but I havent read RotRL yet. Is Malfeshnekor a Barghest or is he a unique Pathfinder thing?

End of the (1st) Edition War? Just you wait, by the time the BluRay edition hits, it'll be re-done to 1) Lisa and Vic shot first, 2) Ryan Dancey will be overdubbed to scream "Nooooooooooooooo!", and 3) all the goblins will blink via CGI.

This post was meant entirely in jest. If this attempt fails to be perceived as humor, then just think of me as Jar Jar Slaad. :)

I'm sure this one was brought up before, but: folks, James is a *Creative Director*. He doesn't write rules, he doesn't errata rules, heck last time he even said he didn't have the time to read the entire UC yet. He's the "Golarion Guy" first and foremost.

So if you want to know what happens when a gnome with alternate racial trait X casts the spell Y while under the effect of feat Z from book V, perhaps Jason or Stephen or Sean would be better target for such questions. As an added bonus, their answers are pretty much "what the designers think", while James can tell you "how I would do that in my home game".

I find it funny how posters are talking about how poor the editing on Ultimate Magic is in comparison to the APG, but when the APG came out many posters complained how poor the editing was on that. I can't wait for everyone to start posting how they wish the editing in the Advanced Race Guide was as good as Ultimate Magic.

Are I we think sure it the merged merge my worked sentences?.

The changeling won't be changing.

Quoted for my own amusement.

Next year, I'll probably record stuff again. But, I probably won't be attending anywhere near as many as I did this year. I'm planning on running an off schedule high-level game, probably using the Coliseum Morpheuon and the Faces. Not sure exactly what all I'll be doing with it. ;)

That's...probably a good policy.
