Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry, typo. It's a good night for gyoza.

HAI!

Hai!

In Japan honorable FAWTLers, instead of using rope to hang yakuza and other "no good" ones from fat pony, we behead them with katana. No lynch mob, but so much more fun and it has a level of personal satisfaction that can't be found with a coil of rope.

BANZAI!

KAGEMATSU PIE!

What is the sound of one hoof clapping?

That link is really good and lively!

All of the Yoshida Brothers albums are on rotation in my gaming playlist...especially if it was for my Minkai/Rokugan games. :D

Thanks, 3.5L & Lilith! Viera-casting right now from Pandora. Completely new to me.

What are the differences between this re-released version and the one that was released in 2009? (Other than that the later parts will also be released now)

Back in the 2009 version, I tried my best to integrate works by two authors and created a truly 'Frankenstein' monster out of it. In this version, Wicht (Jonathan McAnulty) was lead designer and author, so one mind (with my outline and some direction) this is a much better read, better design, better designed monsters. Much of the original was developed during PF Beta, while the current version is so much more closely to Pathfinder, plus elements of the APG is in this one.

Much of the art is the same, though some of the monsters has been moved (and redesigned) to the later adventures, with other monsters in their place. I've created several new maps in addition and in some cases replacements of previously designed maps in the adventure.

Also since The Gift, is an introductory adventure to the setting more care has been placed of including the 'new mechanics' in early encounters so players can experience the unique aspects to the setting.

There are new elements added in this updated version that carry through the following modules, so I feel its imperative to obtain this version of the Gift to best integrate with Parts 2 and 3 of the mini-arc.

Note: all three adventures are completed in writing and editing, I have just completed the layout for Dim Spirit, the second adventure and it has already gone to Cubicle 7 for printing and distribution. I will do the page layout for Dark Path, the final adventure this week (as well as work on some maps for the Convention Games, Wicht is running at Origins).

We also have supplements for this version in addition to the Curse of the Golden Spear mini adventure arc, including PC Monster race books, soon to be followed by faction books beginning with one on the Yakuza.

Plus in a week (June 9th), there is the print version which can be ordered from the Paizo Store, as well as...

Very helpful, GP, thanks. Looking forward to a paper copy!

Well, we do have the upcoming Flip-Mat: Monastery and Map Pack: Shrines. :)

Well played. These are exactly the sorts of things I'm looking for. Now if I can just get something with shoji screens, tatami mats, and possibly a koi pond, I will be thrilled beyond measure. :)

Yes, please!

Tomorrow will see the release of The Gift (Curse of the Golden Spear part 1) for the Japanese Horror setting Kaidan, 101 Monsters Feats (The 14th release in the 101 Series), Fantastic Maps: The Bandit's Lair which appeared originally in Kobold Quarterly, and finally Pathways #4 which has an interview with Greg Vaughn.

BANZAI!

All right! Another one!

I will be your second.

BANZAI!

Honey? I doubt it.

...is it wrong that all I can think while watching the "turning Japanese" video is "They're standing on tatami in their shoes!!!!!"?

I say, IEE!

I'm curious if the OP will make a comeback :)

Maybe he's off consulting the Radish God?

Good movies for Samurai reference (Kurosawa movies):

Ran
Kagemusha
Seven Samurai
Sanjuro
Yojimbo
Hidden Fortress
Rashomon

HAI!

The historical references are great, but for me, Kurosawa is the strongest touchstone for the American imagination of the samurai.

He bends like the willow before the boisterous storm-wind.

What is called the spirit of the void is where there is nothing. It is not included in man's knowledge. Of course the void is nothingness. By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist. That is the void.

AZ: Why the goofy vow?

I got a bad feeling...

Woo-h...er, Banzai!

You should post this preview in the Kaidan thread as well to stoke interest in the next release.

I love the cover on the The Gift.
