That's right you heard me!!!
So GAMA Tradeshow pictures on facebook showed us 2 unseen miniatures from the new Rise of the Runelords set. Including a COLOSSAL RUNE GIANT case incentive. As well as an awesome mini of Good ole Karzoug. On that picture slide show we saw:
Ain't I a stinker for breaking that news :P But in order to be a real maniac I'll go even a step further you can see both Karzoug and the Runegiant here at Spoilers by Greyhaze Your friendly neighborhood minis maniac signing out. See you all later when I find more forbidden knowledge mwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Just saying, when my copy of Advanced Race Guide hits my door, I am taking a permanent black marker to my Core rulebook and blacking out a ll mentions of Gnomes. Then I will do the same to the gnome pictures. Then I will recreate kobolds as a player race, and tape them in the gnome slot. And to end it all I will black out all mentioning of gnomes in the Inner Sea World Guide, and add the story of how there were once gnomes who came from the first world, but the separation drove them mad and transformed them all eventually into spriggans. GNOMES SUCK!!!
Ok guys I've seen more than a few threads asking the staff questions, and then getting a bit miffed when they aren't answered. I think it's great that the staff maintain a messageboard presence and many times go out of their way to answer a few questions, but they have a lot of work to do. I mean look at how much material gets released on a monthly basis, they have to be busy. Sobefore you get huffy for not getting a personal response from the developer/ author/ publisher of your choice remember they are doing other things than constantly searching the messageboards for questions, and you are not owed a response. 
** Means a close facsimile has already been produced but not the exact mini.
Aboleth- While a large size one was produced many still wnat a proper huge size version
I have noticed in recent months we have had 2 delays in subscription. While slightly disappointed I'm not upset. I was just wondering what may be the cause of the delays and if there will be months coming with 2 Subscription shipments to catch up that I should be aware of? P.S This is also coming out of concern and the hopes that all is still going well.
Ok this has been building up for awhile so I'm going to try and get it out in the politest and most respective way possible. I'm really tired of the rampant complaining, outright and borderline trolling going on. Just because paizo produces a product or idea you personally may not like doesn't mean you have to through a drama fit and yell how horrible it is. Yes I can understand how voicing your opinion in a respectable manner can be constructive feedback to the company. But this is not what I'm seeing for the most part, I see whining complaining, outright fallacies written in long form post to try and prove how one person on the internet is right and the whole company whose job it is to produce high quality gaming products, (who is itself made up of mostly gamers I might add) is wrong. I see people being either deliberately rude, or just not having the social maturity to able to reign in ones emotions enough to bring your point across in a constructive way. Yes I realize gaming is something we are all passionate about but you don't have to scream in panic at something you disagree with. Part of being an adult is controlling your emotions and how you portray yourself. Specifically I see this with the 4e/pathfinder edition wars (play what you like and leave the other alone). The rollplay vs roleplay debate (Play the way you like and leave others alone), and now the new pathfinder MMO ( Play what you like and leave others alone ). Frankly I think we could all benefit from a little emotional maturity when it comes to posting on these forums, there's no need to drive poor Ross/ Gary/ Liz/ whoever else crazy over having to delete so many inappropriate posts, a good rule of thumb is if you think your post could be inappropriate read it twice, take a breather then rewrite before posting. This community has so many great people and great ideas, we just need to be more socially responsible for our actions and words. Thanks I've said my piece.
Magical Beast Affinity
Allows you to select certain magical beasts as an animal Companion above and beyond the normal list. So far I have Hippogryph, Griffon, and Owlbear for this feat. Any advice on how these beasts may be too powerful and or any others that could be added to the list safely and balanced.
An issue has been brought to my attention, that while I am not the ideal candidate to bring it forth, I am nonetheless the one writing it now. Some friends have commented many of times of what they feel is a slight unfairness toward their beliefs. So I write this for your consideration During the course of a few religious discussions, some posters have really crossed a line (maybe not knowingly). Please first consider some posters of this forum are christian. And with that belief the "God" or Christ is more than just a belief to them. Many believe "God" or Christ is their heavenly father, takes a personal interest in their life, watches out for them, they pray to him daily. They love him more than they love anything. "God" or Christ is more than just a belief he is a living breathing part of their lives a family member who is genuinely loved. And to challenge "God" on many issues without proper sensitivity can come across as insensitive or even offensive. To these posters "God" is something very personal. And as such they see moderation on the subject to be a bit lacking. I really do wish I could convey how important this belief is to them, and how much they love this community. They don't wish to discuss "healthy" debate. They just wish that others would take a bit more consideration when posting disparaging comments about "God". Also remember attacking ones religious institution or leader can be equally as offensive, posting disparaging words about the Pope for example the Holy Father of the Catholic church, can be very offensive for Catholics. Please I only hope to open some minds. To those moderators of the boards please take a second look at some anti-religious posts, and to those posters out there, please use a bit of empathy and understanding when posting about an others religious belief, it is something very precious to them and not something to be trampled on. Please take this letter for what it is. I myself am an atheist but I do see some inconsiderate posts toward believers.I only hope my letter has been enlightening. Yours Sincerely, Jeremy M
Please don't let this devolve into snipping or a flamewar. I really just want a nice calm intellectual discussion. I will not hesitate to ask Ross to lock the thread if it does devolve into insults. Open question. How come every time you see homosexuals portrayed in media, it's always either the gossipy effeminate queen, or the effeminate sassy fashion wise best friend of a female role? Not all gays are effeminate, nor are we always sassy and fashion wise. Is it just more palatable to the public, to see us in not so serious portrayals and stereotypes? Why can't we have an action hero for example who just happens to be gay, without it being a main focus?
Lets set some ground rules first. Religious beliefs and thoughts are allowed, but bashing and railing against them are not. I guess it goes through my head a lot lately, the inescapable realization of death. Some days it scares me, some days it doesn't. I guess it just got me thinking about how others handle this inescapable thought process. Again all viewpoints are welcome
Okay, the class is a really neat idea, but the cost and reload time make it hard to use. Personally in my game I would make it work more like a musketeer. Scrap the limited revolver give them a musket which does increasing damage over levels, give them a sword with a good base attack and training. It would explain the reload time, the cost and such. I would basically give the gunslinger the Alexandre Dumas makeover, because lets face it from the invention of guns until the actual making of revolvers was like a 300 year gap. Plus the purpose of revolvers was being able to shoot multiple times before reloading. So take it for what it is have muskets instead with incremental damage increase per level, keep the guns and ammo expensive and give them some good sword fighting skills. Basically ditch the revolvers for now.

It was fun while it lasted *sigh*. I guess this just means I will have to spend my $800 dollars bi annually on paizo minis instead. So :P to you WOTC.
I'm not talking rule mechanics. I just hate gnomes. The old school gnomes looked ugly, the WoW gnomes look ridiculous, and the Golarion gnomes look like those old "Troll" dolls from when I was a kid. Not to mention lawn gnomes deserve smashing. All gnomes deserve my undying hatred. Why do you people put up with them?
News has been given that the new Series will start likely in March. And in a recent interview Steven Moffat announced that the new series will be split in two. Basically 7 episodes in the spring followed by 6 in the fall seasons. He also plans to do a big cliffhanger episode in between. Moffat explained he favors this new format so there isn't always such a huge wait in between series of Doctor Who.
Saw this on the shelf at the FLGS. I just finished painting it and it's inspired my to write up a new spawn of Rovagug. Go ahead and take a look. link
Ok I think they're awesome but...... as a DM I would find it much more useful to have more monsters produced, especially the monsters not found in the D&D minis. I am sorry but I couldn't care less about the iconics as miniatures, I will never use them and I have plenty of PC minis mass available. Plus any players I have ever had have always wanted to make their own PCs never once have I seen them pick up an Iconic. So why is it you produce so many Iconic character minis and so few monster minis, half the minis listed on the pathfinder minis page are Iconics. I love the goblins, the goblin on the goblin dog, the pugwampis, and even the up coming jabberwock. Any chance we could see more unique PF monsters given the mini treatment and focus less on the iconics?
So I started this thread to throw around a few ideas. Start to identify the problems with epic play, maybe we may even be able to get it too a point where it'll be more feasible and easier to play/ write adventures for. 1) A complaint I have run into a few times in the 3 campaigns I have run to 1st- 25th level. Power scale difficulties, Pcs and monster seem to jump in power really quickly after 15th level, dying becomes way to easy, magic items seem like candy in a pinata. 2) Instant death effects- Seem to be entirely too common at high levels, everything seems to be save or die all the time. 3) Massive damage- A wizard for example can do ridiculous amounts of damage, to a point that if it gets it's spell off half the party is dead. 4) Bulky amounts of number crunching- This gets to be a problem when you just don't have that many d6 to roll. Or your dealing with monsters with HP in the thousands. 5) Huge stat blocks that take up 2 pages. I've seen it and it does get ridiculous. From a GMs perspective it's entireley confusing to keep the number of ongoing effects in place, let alone which ability to use. From a publishing perspective this would be a nightmare to try and write up a single encounter and not use up all your word count. These are just a few of the problems I have identified. Let me know some solutions or ideas. Lets use this as a place to have CONSTRUCTIVE thoughts on how to fix it, and not to bash peoples preference in game play, nor to rag on epic level play. Feel free to add any solutions or other problems you have identified.
I've been curious lately. I know years ago it was just pen and paper, but today with so many game aids available, what do you use in game. I always thought that the modern gamer was a lot like me getting things like this and painting it green with tree accessories for wilderness encounters. And buying these for dungeon sets. Turns out I may be an extreme case. But I am curious to know what game aids you use?
I make it no secret of who and what I am, I'm married to my husband, and love him dearly. However my mother is a very right wing conservative christian (which wouldn't bother me so much) but she first off after years of not speaking started contact me again. Anytime I talked with her she would preach (and not in a nice way, a borderline offensive way), or she would call me hateful slurs. Even when she would call and my husband would pick up the phone she would say awful things to him and tell him to put me on the phone. I would constantly tell her to cut it out, finally it got to a point about a month ago I said enough was enough. I told her that with the way she acts toward me and my husband it was impossible to have a relationship, and that until she learned to be less hateful and frankly just plain grow the f*$$ up, she would no longer have contact with me. I think me exact words "Have a nice life, and forget my phone number". he now sends emails claiming I'm religiously persecuting her and her beliefs, she still calls (which I promptly hang up). And leaves messages on the phone to make me feel guilty. So I think I'm just going to change my number. Frankly i don't think I have the mental tolerance to deal with her, but yet a small part of me thinks I may be a bit to harsh about the situation what do you think?
