You mean Dungeonscape? Which was written by Paizo's own lead designer Jason Bulmahn?

Hey, I like Dungeonscape! It had tons of classic dungeon weirdness like acid sharks and oddball 'themes'.

BTW, if anyone has a copy of the book, can they let us know what the section on the Irrisen city is like?

I'd love to see more information covering the charming city of Kaer Maga and its delightfully twisted inhabitants! More info on the bloatmages and the troll augurs would be nice too, though I think they've actually been covered in both the Campaign Setting and Classic Monsters Revisited.

As for goverment in Kaer Maga, I get the idea that it's run by a collection of criminal gangs, dangerous monsters, even more dangerous mages, and assorted nogoodniks of all varieties. Sort of like Skullport under Waterdeep.

It should've been corny, but for some reason it worked.

Another good film was The Car. Heck, you don't need demons; some maniac driving around in an armored sedan, deliberately driving over people for the laughs, is scary enough! And ye gods, that last bit with the demonic face and the return of the Car... flying down a city street at a bunch of schoolchildren!

Okay, now ya got me going.

Day of the Animals and Prophecy:The Monster Movie both seriously creeped me out. Especially the latter film; remember the turned-inside-out mutant bear with its brains running down over its face. Ga-ross!

The 70's made-for-TV movie Gargoyles was splendidly creepy.

I once saw a 3-D B&W movie called The Mask that was insanely creepy and strange.

The Skull's last few moments creeped me out, when the floating skull of the Marquis De Sade slowly, so slowly, approaches Peter Cushing's throat.

Did anyone here ever see an English film, directed by Jacques Torneur, titled Night of the Demon? That film has some truly flesh-crawling moments.

My two favorites would be:

1) When Holden is in the hallway at the hotel and he starts hearing the weird music, accompanied by this very faint chiming or jingling noise... along with heavy footsteps, slowly growing louder and louder and LOUDER until...

2) After Holden visits Karswell's mansion at night (and gets scratched bloody by a black cat that turns into a leopard). He decides to leave through the surrounding woods even after Karswell warns him against it. He hears the music again and sees a ball of fiery smoke floating after him -- accompanied by giant smoking hoofprints stamping into the dirt.

And then there's William Castle's Thirteen Ghosts. Saw it when I was a kid, it scared me white!

Because if not, then I now have a perfectly horrid idea about a visitor falling in love with a local woman (and vice-versa). They leave the city, and when he turns to kiss his lady-love...

He finds himself embracing a giant white wolfess. Possibly one who's batting her eyes at him, wagging her tail, and making little "Wuff!" noises at him...

Evil Lincoln wrote:
In many 3e products, slavery is a buzzword for evil.

Now, I believe in basic human freedoms, and I think slavery is reprehensible. But I do think that "slavery == evil" runs counter to the attitudes throughout much of human history toward slavery. When it gets a little too preachy (e.g. only the drow could be evil enough to hold slaves) it runs counter to the traditions of fantasy literature.

Paizo appears to have adopted a quasi-historical attitude where slavery itself is not evil in a social context that accepts it, but other things (such as how slaves are treated) can be evil. I think this is much closer to the treatment the issue receives in fantasy literature. It should still be a terrible thing, but it should be pervasive enough to feel real, otherwise it becomes a parody of actual hardship.

So yes, I'd like to see such a module, with a healthy dose of Paizoan grit. Could there be a better place than Katapesh?


Well said, sir, and I agree.

Though a devilish part of me wonders about trying something that apparently happened to some 19th century European travelers and explorers -- they find someone about to brutally beat, or even kill, a child/young woman. When they intervened, they were told that "Oh, no, they're just beating a slave. It's quite legal to kill them."

The travelers on several occasions would then buy the slave for themselves (in some places, freeing a slave with no ability to support themselves was very illegal), ultimately freeing them a few stops later when they were far away from their former owner.

I just wondered about using that as a way to introduce a new cohort or follower, or even just a local guide with some built-in hooks for future stories.

Where to find details on the Goblinblood Wars?
Eric Hinkle,

A 14-Viminda avatar

Huh, I was thinking on a Andoren character who was a war orphan (as I recall, the burned-down orphanage from Darkmoon Vale was filled with kids who'd lost their parents to the goblin hordes; and there is that order of female diabolic monks in Isger). Well, I can say that his family and some others lived in a small fortified steading close to the Andoran/Isger/Kalistocracy border; who knows, maybe the family farm ended up like Roarkes Drift in Zulu!

Where to find details on the Goblinblood Wars?
Eric Hinkle,

A 14-Viminda avatar

I've read a few references on this conflict, mostly in the "Falcon's Hollow" mini-campaign and the "Guide to Darkmoon Vale". Has there been anything more said anywhere else as to what happened, or why? Judging from what I've read apparently hordes of goblinkin just surged out of their lairs and attacked everyone they met.

For that matter, how many nations were affected? I think it hit Andoran, Isger, the Kalistocracy of Druma, and the dwarves of the Five Kings Mountains. Was it just a local war, or was it more widespread?

Thanks for any answers.

Any Love for Isger?
Eric Hinkle,

A 14-Viminda avatar

The only thing I can remember about Isger right now is the comment made in Pathfinder #8 under the Bestiary entry for the Daughter of Urgathoa about the "Wight Mother of Isger".

Hopefully with permission, I quote: Tentacled and monstrously beautiful, the unliving martyr Illcayna Alonnor has led the Pallid Princess's cult in Isger for more than a century. Having sacrificed herself to an uncontrolled legion of wights, the young priestess spontaneously resurrected and led the undead to consume the entire hamlet of Finder's Gulch -- including the living members of the cult of Urgathoa there. Today, the Wight Mother's almost entirely undead cult plagues western Isger, a mutated and magically altered legion of deathless minions following the direction of her massive clawed hand.

Sure sounds like western Isger has a problem they need some heroes to deal with.

Well, from the sound of it, everyone likes the Iomedae article. Since the Pathfinder AP articles covering the deities of Golarion are among my favorites, I may have to pick up AP #26 before much longer.

We had a meeting yesterday discussing the role of the Pathfinder Modules line and how we can improve it. We kicked around a few ideas, but we'd like your input as well (especially subscribers and people who would become subscribers if the Modules line gave you more that you were looking for).

Ideas we discussed at the meeting included:

* more high-level adventures (especially ones you could run after finishing an Adventure Path)

* larger adventures, like "supermodules" (though we aren't sure how we'd fit that into the line, which currently only has 32-page adventures)


Yes to both, especially the supermodules idea. I'd love to see one set around the Temple of the Starstone in Absalom. I get the idea that it's supposed to be the Undermountain/Castle Greyhawk of the setting. I'd say it deserves some coverage.

Sean K Reynolds wrote:
* prequels or parallel adventures relating to an AP, so your players (who may or may not be playing the same PCs you have active in that AP) get additional information or another perspective on the events of that AP

As I rarely use the pregen PCs, this would be a big help.

Sean K Reynolds wrote:

* similar to the previous item, but tied to your PCs (such as "you activate a mysterious device and find your souls transported into the bodies of these other people, and you can't return to your own body until you've resolved the adventure with the possessed bodies")

* even more unusual one-off adventures, like "everyone plays a goblin" (whether you're defending your lair or going on a raid)


Replace "goblin" with "gnoll", combine the two ideas, and I'd definitely buy a copy. :D

And let me add another vote for the 'adventure on the other planets in Golarion's solar system'. I love swords-and-planet stories, and I think it's a shame that D&D never did any modules to cover the idea.

Darkmoon Vale Side Treks?

I have run a year-long campaign set in Darkmoon Vale, using modified versions of Hollow's Last Hope and Carnival of Tears, for starters. The Dungeon adventures "Wingclipper's Revenge" fits in nicely with the fey presence in the woods north of Falcon's Hollow (a conflict I built up throughout the campaign), and "Cry Wolf" (also from Dungeon) fits in well because of the towns natural dislike for wolves.

What issue of Dungeon was "Cry Wolf" in, and can we get a synopsis of the adventure? It does sound good to me just from the title.

The book just arrived, and only a date after my birthday. Thanks, Paizo!

BTW, considering that the books is supposed to be "damaged", it looks to be in better shape than some books I've seen being sold on the shelves in bookstores. Great job and thanks.

Though now, after reading the intro, I am wondering just what was cut to keep Nick out of jail protect our tender eyes. :D

The book was just shipped according to a recent e-mail. Thanks.

BTW, is there any way to track the progress of an order made through the store? I.e., like the whole "your shipment is now in Outer Saskatchewan and will be routed through Little America tomorrow" stuff you can get from FedEx?

I've noticed more than once myself that even when I full well know that various Paizo books are in print, local chain stores will list them as "Out of print -- no longer available". It works oddly: the second entry in the Council of Thieves AP went right from "not available yet" to "out of print" literally within a day at B&N.

its to much Persia in both attitude and flavor, while I like the flavor... the attitude goes agaisnt what we believe.

We woudl happily fight agaisnt Quadira any time of the week!


What little I've heard/read about it makes Qadira sound like 'Classic Persia'. i.e., Persia under the Achaemenids or Sassanians. That makes it sound like the kind of place I'd want to characters to at least visit... mostly because I've been fascinated with pre-Islamic Iran ever since my SCA days (which were, what, almost 15 years ago?) and have even written some heroic fantasy set in an 'alternate' Sassanid Persia.

Sorry, just rambling. But I am glad that Pathfinder is using this country.

Does that really surprise you? Howard's work is probably in the top 5... maybe even the top 3 literary inspirations for Golarion, after all. For D&D, for that matter... things like frost giants and remorhazes and the barbarian class and the word "Stygia" and so on... Howard's influence is pretty strong.

I'm surprised it took me this long to figure it out. But myself, I always thought that the frost giants came more from Norse myth than the Conan stories.

Actually... I really really REALLY want to some day set an adventure path in Numeria. So wherever you heard that we weren't ever planning on expanding things there had faulty information. "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks" is one of my favorite adventures from the old days, and the concept of "Conan fighting robots" is too awesome to leave alone forever.

And in any case, there's 45 or so regions in the setting. Even if we took pains to do one adventure path per region, that'll take us over two decades to visit EVERY location. Eventually... we might just do one set in Alkenstar. It's not NEARLY as high on the list as most other locations, though. And as I said above, chances of seeing an AP set in Numeria within the next few years are actually quite high.


I'd like to see an AP set in Numeria. If nothing else, it'd be useful to have some info on how to simulate the stray supertech the Numerians have.

I've never heard of this before. Can you contact the bank on which the card is drawn, and ask them why they're charging the fee? Perhaps there's something we can do to avoid it in the future.

I'm not using a bank for this. I get a prepaid card and activate the account at the Gift Card Mall site and then they keep track of my account. But if you think I should, I'll check with them about it.

Truth be told, I figured it was some kind of fee or tax charged by the state of Washington.

Okay, it's because of a hiccup in the system, and it'll just be a few days until the cash gets released and my stuff gets mailed... but I do wish I'd known about the difficulty in ordering PDFs and physical books at once. I'll be more careful in the future. Or has that problem just happened to me?

And a big "Thanks" to Paizo for explaining everything to me when I called.

Hmm, as it'll be a little while before I can get the book covering Taldor, I'd like to know: what does it have to say about Taldoran armies> I'm guessing the whole feel is very Byzantine, with things like heavily-armored cataphract horse archers, hired mercenaries from all over, and rough at the edges akritoi border guards.

You get a couple of interesting races, a host of classes, a plethora of spirits and a bunch of influences. (I've caught Dune, Eberron, and Wishmaster, just to name a few)

The spells are also neat. I love sudden burial, that spell replaces sleep whenever I can get it. it's a bit more limited, but who doesn't want to suddenly trap his foes up to their necks in the ground. (insert greatclub-as-gold-club here)


Thanks for the link, though when I order I think I'll go to the pact magic site itself and order the actual physical book(s). Sorry, but I just enjoy holding an actual book in my hands.

Umzilla is mentioned in D0, and in E1 Syntira the Nymph Queen of the Fey refers to the encroaching cold from the Ice Queen in the North.

Myself, I've been wondering what connection the Witches of Irrisen have to the problems with the Darkmoon Vale fey. Hopefully we'll get at least a few hints on it one day.

I agree about the "Graveyard Rats", it's a great story. I also like some of the stories Kuttner did for Weird Tales, as he usually included some very dark humor and genuinely surprising twist endings. Such as one that makes you think that this fine young city couple are going to be eaten by this family of (rather over-the-top) deranged cannibal hillbillies... only to reveal that the hillbillies weren't the killers, the two kids were. "We just wanted to tell you, we always knew you weren't the vampires. How do we know? Because we are."
