Thanks!

Hope you enjoy it. It's nice to see there are still fans of over-the-top, heinous, gore-soaked vileness out there. =]

I've been a fan of yours for years, was just waiting for the right moment to go on a Blackdirge Publishing buying spree!

Btw, how's Grummok?

Cool.

Grummok is sharpening one of his daggers and reminding me that I need to get off my ass and finish his damn story. =]

Seriously though, Grummok will see the light of publication in the near future. We're just trying to figure out what format to do it in. The idea for a novel and a graphic novel has been kicked around.

BD

Regular or graphic, I'll end up buying it eventually. Whenever I'm working on and evil knifefighter I channel some Grummok into them!

Tarde pero seguro!

Here it is Jason

Brand the Wizard.

I put more items on this one to make it more interesting since he doesn't carry heavy weapondry or armor. I kept the staff very simple to make enphasis on the "thin" part and gave it a "twist" to to leave it too simple. Unfotunately I stared Brand a bit smaller than the last twon and that made all the detailing much more difficult.

I'm adding also a small sketch development in the Sketch gallery.

I hope you like it Jason!

Holy crap this guy is awesome as well!

I say this again, I hope the folks at Paizo are watching this thread!

This has come up while preparing for our new campaign. Our DM grants a bonus feat at 1st level as a "regional" feat from a list. One of the feats on the list is Toughness and it seems to have become extremely popular now.

My interpretation of the feat is that it grants 4 extra hp at 1st level (3 hp + 1 per hit dice) then an additional hp per hd/level gained. The DM thinks it means 3 hp at first level and +1 hp each level after.

Of course, I don't care either way but I was wondering how others were reading the feat description as I thought it was pretty clear.

My understanding of the feat is you are correct. +4 hp @ 1st level, +1 hp @ each additional level thereafter.

Yes! More Axel Foley is always a good thing!

beer?

w00t?

nutritious!

prana?

ditto

W00T!

Thanks!

Any news today?

Sorry

Class ability chart on page 4 doesn't have any info.

What's the word? Or are Pathfinder and Planet stories taking all the Paizo energy right now?

We're talking about it, but have nothing to announce just yet. Stay tuned.

/me waits patiently.........barely

He's a cleric right?

Yes, he's a 12th level gestalt cleric or nethys/fighter/rogue combo.

Only change the awesome you've done if you feel you must. I'm totally cool with Dagna as is.

The 5 arrow points on the axe? He's a cleric of Nethys, not Asmodeus.

AAAAAAAAAArggggh!!! Then I got the whole idea wrong..... I'll fix that. DO you want him to bear a holy symbol?

nononononononononono, it's cool. You had to point it out for me to notice it. He keeps his holy symbol hidden 99.9999% of the time anyways, so no biggy.

or we could be shoved into an alt reality ....that might be interesting.

As long as I can learn to cast spells and create/control golems and undead, I don't really care which alt dimension we end up in.

Maybe it was too subtle... Hint: a symbol with 5 points

I paced a hidden hint on the axe, I hope you notice it.

Aside from the axe being what I consider a greataxe and his armor being heavier than leather over chain shirt he's absolutely perfect!!

Axe: I made the axe look "bigger" than a regular waraxe since its dwarven, which for my imply heavier/bulkier. A smaller axe for me its a battleaxe. Also Dagnar's not fully upright so the axe looks even bigger. That's why the axe looks big.

I made the armor thick aiming on the my Dwarven equipment lines, but that armor is indeed heavier than standard leather. Nothing Ragnar can't wear with ease thou! ;P

I scanned it before shading it. I'll post it later.

Thank for the feedback!

It's cool, I don't mind the subtle differences from what's in my head to what you've drawn. You have a very serious talent here. I hope the folks at Paizo are keeping an eye on this thread, because you rock!

Any specific comments/feedback? I paced a hidden hint on the axe, I hope you notice it.

Aside from the axe being what I consider a greataxe and his armor being heavier than leather over chain shirt he's absolutely perfect!!

Thank you very much again!

Holy ****!!!!!

You sir totally and completely ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

/me bows before the awesomeness

Thank you very, very, very much!!!

I have both the Advanced Bestiary and the Deluxe Book of Templates, and I have used templates from both books extensively in some of my own products.

They're both great; however, I think the Advanced Bestiary is a bit more sound mechanically.

I would rate them thusly.

Advanced Bestiary: 5 stars
Deluxe Book of Templates: 4.5 stars

BD

Awesome!!! Praise from the Blackdirge himself!!!!

If that doesn't sell you, I don't know what would!

I have both Advanced Bestiary and Book of Templates Deluxe Edition. They are of near equal awesomeness.

If you even like only half the stuff in AB you'll like BoTDE as well.

At the current discount price, I'm tempted to buy a second copy!

BTW, I don't post on the weekends (family time) but Dagnar will be posted latest on sunday along with another surprise character from the list made in a complete different style and a hilarious-aggresive avatar!

So, stay tuned!

Awesome, but no need to rush. Dagna can wait until you have more time. Family first.

We have farm land with fresh well water, probablily hunt the land, and jar veges. We live in Oklahoma, not too worried if it floods the coasts. We have guns too. Same plan if we are over ran by zombies.

But do you have enough cold iron and silver for the demons and devils?

Akubra (without the strap)

Is the link abode the only way to login into the chat? It keeps crashing me out...bummer!

Just bookmark it. That's what I've done.

Thanks guys, I hope the next one will be better. You have o give me a chance to warm up!

Glad you liked Dunewalker and I hope I did a close approach to your version of your PC, its my first "egypciona-like" PC, so I'm not too well versed in their outfits... By the way. What's the name of the cat?

Next: Dagna Pallgreves. I'm looking foward to draw this one, I had only made 2 dwarves ever and never finished any so far, so this will be pretty much my first dwarf. And make it my first "Epic" PC.

The next draws will be a bit less rigid. I though it would be easier for me to draw "standing" PCs but It was not...

I await the awesome!

Specifically Hot Springs.

Anybody interested just pop up a message here or e-mail me here: dungeon_master@theblackfang.org

Ok guys, here goes a summary, please add more if you feel something's missing. And fill the ? marks.

Please try to keep it as simple as possible.

Dagna Pallgreves
Dwarf/Male(age?)/not a cleric?
VERY srtong and imposing
Mustache but no beard
Waraxe, SIhedron rune book, Hat (akubra?), lots of wands
Black leather armor
Note: This guy looks epic/quasideity...

For the other posts I'll see if I can squeeze them in. No promises!

Akubra (without the strap)

He is a cleric, he just very rarely pulls out his holy symbol. He's 65, spent the first 43 years of his life in Janderhoff, then left because he didn't wish to go into the family business. He spent the next 21 years in Kaer Maga and adopted the appearance he has now while living there. The last year has been spent working through RotR. He's actually a cleric of Nethys with a few levels of fighter tossed in for waraxe awesomeness.

Need more?

Dagna Pallgreves

Male dwarf, 4'1", 167 lb., long, straight black hair usually tied back, coal gray eyes. He shaves his beard, but has yet to reveal the actual reasons for doing so. He still keeps his mustache. He dresses in black leathers with crimson accents over a mithral shirt. Wields a keen giantbane waraxe. Has an ancient book which is written in an unusual fashion. It does have the Sihedron rune on the front and back covers.

Str 25, Dex 18, Con 23, Int 19, Wis 30, Cha 20.

He also wears a hat (normally looks like an akubra), cloak, boots, belt, gauntlets and bracers. All clothing fits the black with crimson look.

Dagna is not a cleric of Asmodeus. He has no visible holy symbols.

He carries several wands.

I've said it before, and I'm about to say it again.

I'd buy it.

This is Justin Sluder, and I approve this addition.

I'd buy one.

When will they be shipped?

Excellent question.

*holds up a sign* Paizo Rules!!!!!!

Beta is sold out at GenCon!!!!!!

See here for proof.

Chat Signal! (20:00 Paizo Standard Time tonight.)

Yes!! We must summon the great ones of Paizo!!

Also known as "We don't really have a GenCon release other than 4e FR, so we need something for the fans to feel good about while they're over looking at Pathfinder."

Yes, it's snarky. Don't care.

hehehe

Oh so true!

Awesome!! Thank you very much Sir!!

/bows before the great Cosmo!

I guess it's a moot point now since I've received notice of shipment.

Thanks anyways.

Um, not complaining, but why is the Rise of the Runelords Map Folio not benefiting from the discount?

PERFECT RPG book.. like, The Pathfinder's Guide to the Dragon-Drow-Demon-pocolypse Adventure Path 900-page hardcover, boxed set, hologram (only $14.49)!

I'll take 2 please! :)

I have been sitting back quietly enjoying the products Paizo produces for a long time now. I got a charter subscription to Pathfinder when Dragon and Dungeon left the fold.

The quality of the products Paizo creates is an amazing value for the money. Both in content and in materials. The new campaign setting is incredible. The list of contributors reads like a who's who in gaming.
I cannot wait to pick up the Beta Pathfinder book at Gencon in a few days. (And anything else they have on display that I cannot live without!

Cosmo does an amazing job in customer support. The few issues I have had were resolved almost immediately. Eric Mona is very informative when he posts. Paizo folks get involved in the forums which I think is awesome. The answer peoples questions on a routine basis. These guys are true gamers.

Lisa Stevens: Congratulations on a fantasic team. Go ahead and plan on selling me at least one of everything you guys produce!!!

To sum it up, "Paizo Just Gets It!!!"

Great job.

Yeah, what he said. (unfortunately I won't be at GenCon to worship them face to face)

Congratulations!

Majuba, I'm set for a single monthly shipping.

Flash, I heard that too, but I'm not in any rush. I have prep to do to get Fortress of the Stone Giants ready for my characters.

I've gotten mine actually.

What option do you use for your shipping?

We're in the same boat. It's because of our Planet Stories subscription. The books should be arriving this week so we may be getting the pdf's this week, but next week for sure from what I hear.

Justin,

It was cancelled because you had preordered it individually, and then signed up for a subscription (which automatically cancels preordered subscription items). Normally, that works great, but it wasn't fulfilled as part of the subscription either—probably because of an unusual interaction involving the volume you chose to start your subscription with and the fact that two Chroinicles products were fulfilled at the same time... anyway, it was a weird combination of events that ensured you never got it.

I've added it to your next shipment.

Excellent!! Thank you very much!
