this is a lot to swallow based on his word alone. I'm not buying some of the answers he gives here.

Yeah a lot of it goes into tinfoil hat territory.

How is the iconic art in this one also who are in the scenes and whats happening?

Does the Skinwalker have things in common with the D&D Shifter or is it really very different from it? I hope its different!

D&D's Shifter is distinctly D&D's Shifter. We are purposefully not emulating it.

what do you visulise a skinewalker looking like if you dont mind me asking?

Hope I'm not being rude asking this but is there a reason they requested that since near as I can tell all the other One night stands are available In PDF form?

Everytime I begin to warm to the idea they mention something that turns me right off again, (Specificly the getting in on the fun section.)

Has the final cover for this one been updated yet? (seems to be pretty late on if it hasent.)

Men are idealized... They are given all the power to face down any threat (usually through violence) and they have to look awesome doing it so other men can envy them.

Can you see the huge difference? I hope so.

Women are equally idealized, are you implying that women can not desire men or that women can't envy female characters for their outstanding looks?

Explains it better than I could.

Is your real name Jim Sterling?

You love linking his work. He has it mostly right though so I shouldn't complain.

He kinda reminds me of Rush Limbaugh in a video game way.

I just have problems trying to put my thoughts into words for a subject like this so I prefer to link to someoene who shares my thoughts and can word it better.

Usually I'd call them imaginary constructs.

And really, the fact that so many responses to Anita's video pointed out flaws in it speaks for itself.

By responses I mean video responses, not posts on the video itself. If I remember right, she disabled those.

As to why she disabled responses, video or otherwise, I'd think that would have something to do with the death threats, personal attacks, and misrepresentation of her work. Just a guess however.

Which is one thing that does bother me about all this while I do believe the comments were vile and horrific I cant help but think she set out to set up the situation to be this way

What I mean is she seems to have comments on all her other videos disabled except for this one, uses the comments to gain attention, then when she has her funding disables the comments again.

If she Disables comments normally to avoid such remarks why allow them on this video and then only disable them once she has got her funding?

Did she have comments disabled before the firestorm started?

On her older videos, I mean?

Yes she does far as I remember. It was a big critasism of it at the time.

Sums up a lot of my thoughts

Well think these are actual red mantis, Hellknights etc (As in the prestige classes.)

Cheers for that

Maybe a MAYOR SPOILER so if you don't want to be maybe-spoiled don't click the image.

Kaiju-Pathfinder-Deviantart

I've found this image on Deviantart and it says that its for pathfinder, and i've never seen this image anywhere else, would this be a Kaiju image for bestiary 4? Or was this maybe cut-material for bestiary 3?

I do hope its not real cuz we already have 2 cthulhu creatures in the book, this creature looks a little bit like Cthulhu as well so that would make number 3, I hope its cut art for bestiary 3, but who knows...

I seem to remember it being said somewhere that it was origonally intended for the Kaiju entry for besitiary 3 before they decided to drop it.

I'm with you, but collectively we weren't buying them (I suspect). Or at least not buying them as much as we were buying the other stuff, which is the same thing as us saying we don't want them.

On the flips side, one could argue that they had no rhyme or reason to modules release, and weren't consistent with the releases of modules. Imagine if the AP's were, instead of timely releasing them each month in a consitant pattern, AP's were released willy nilly as modules were. Would AP's be as popular selling as they are now then?

Actually I'd point out all the lines (Except adventure paths) Schedules are often inconsistent. However modules as has ben mentioned before is the least popular line and I assume they know more about what the majority wanted from modules than you and I do.

Has there beem any indication on how much each of these consoles are going to cost?

Ah yes paranoid ravings

Just giving it a look over really good although it seems they have gone back to black and white instead of full colour?

Alrighty is there any restriction on traits? (Two I was thinking of were rich parents and/or heirloom weapon mostly so she can start with a repeater crossbow but I can understand if you wouldent allow that combination.)

Hi I'm interested but wondering Would a catfolk be acceptable? If not then How about a halfling alchemist?

Now the question is does he grant domains?

Tabris is not an empyreal lord any more--he's something... else, now. So details on him are a bit outside this book's purview.

Will we be hearing more about Tabris in the future?

Lord Fyre, you should make a separate stat block for Golarion Orcs.

The Core Rulebook does not need to be in a forced marriage with the setting of Golarion.

I think you need to re-read the racial descriptions of Gnomes and Elves, and virtually all the Bestiary again.

Like it or not, the Pathfinder RPG is already in a "forced marriage with the setting of Golarion."

Then why does the Core Rulebook allow godless Clerics?

To be fair I believe it has been mentioned that with hindsight they would not have put the goddless cleric part in.

Alrighty is a lot of it Iconic art or action scene type art?

do these cards have new art or is it all just reused from previous paixo products?

Well least I dont have to worry about buying it.

First hope you enjoyed the Star Trek movie.

Second the markings on Lini's face are they tattoes or natural skin coloration? If there the first is there any significance to them or are they just a bit of artistic lisence when she was being drawn?

Have you considerd making a catfolk Pregen for any of the AP plug ins?

I believe you may have mentioned before what region catfolk would be found in. I'm wondering if you were to do a guide of that continent like the inner sea guide or dragons empire one would catfolk ve classed as one of the core races of that continent? (Like how Tengu Kitsune ect are in Tien-xia.)

I wouldent mind them more NPC stats are always usefull.

Yeah just saw that Royal bank of Scotland after awarding there higher ups 100 million pound (Thats about $152,315,459.25) In bonuses 48 hours later firing 700 staff because there not making enough money. Tell me again how top brass arent getting overpaid?

Hi for some reason I havent gotten an authorisation email and my May subscription now seems to be merged with my June one.

I'm guessing something like the goblin plushie (Ie teddybear like thing)

There actually will be a special release of a product at PaizoCon, though it won't be anywhere *near* as big as the deluxe Runelords book. What is it? Sorry—you'll have to wait!

So...any word on this surprise special PaizoCon release!?! Please, please, please!!!!

I suspect we won't be saying a word until PaizoCon.

I want people to go into the PaizoCon store and see something that they had *no idea* existed until that very moment!

This supirse product will people who dont go to the con be able to get it or is it exclusive to Paizocon?

Were any of the other characters that appeared in Dungeon other members of staff characters or only yours and Jamses?

As the title says I would like to cancel my comics subscription thank you.

Who was it that named each of the Iconics and if you can remember which ones?

Does the new 64 page format mean more art or is it all story/maps?

So wht Iconics have been used in this one?

DRM? Please, show me one DRM method that hasn't been bypassed in a week after the game's release?

Diablo 3 took awhile. Even after the hacks came out, most were trojans in disguise. Piracy creates the desire for game companies to use always on DRM like Diablo 3. Blizzard sold 12 million copies of always on DRM Diablo 3 so games with extreme DRM can be popular.

IMHO, I buy games based on how much I like them. Game series that EA published that I like are Battlefield, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age. I also really liked Mirror's Edge and Kingdoms of Amalur. I like the stories from the Old Republic but the combat is just okay (still believe they should have went with Unreal for the engine).

A Battlefront game by DICE would be very interesting to me. I have not played Dead Space, so I have no opinion on how good a Star wars game from Visceral would be.

DRM is a mistake, and has never been shown to increase game sales. Likewise, removing DRM has never been shown to hurt game sales, and many companies have experienced better than expected sales after removing it. All DRM really does is piss off consumers who have legally bought your product and encourage them to bypass your DRM*. Companies that insist on always on DRM are making dumb buisness moves that have already hurt some, like EA on Sim City.

Personally, I have stopped buying games from EA because of their buisness practices. Not buying their stuff is all that I can really do to tell them I don't want their rediculous draconian anti-piracy crap. I'm a little disappointed that I wont play ME3, but that is the only thing they have made in past few years that I would have thought to buy anyway.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/6187-Why-Boycotts- Fail-Where-Whining-Tantrums-Win

Interetsing video on why boycots dont work all that well.

Hmmm needs more Lini.

If the Mantis god is now a full fledged Deity dosent that mean he should really have a herald now as well? (I may be wrong on this but all full fledged gods seem to have heralds save Rovagug.)

Look like cossacks to me.

If we made new iconics, we'd stick to the core races. That's what being iconic is, after all—being recognizable and familiar.

Any preferences for race/gender or is it just randomly decided? several staff members get to choose 1 or a group desicion for the whole lot?

Does Dragons unleashed and Fey revisited have Iconic's in the chapter openers?

Also if you were to create new Iconic's (Say for Psionic magic whenever you finally get round to doing that) would it just keep to the core races or is there a chance of using other 0hd races? (Tieflings catfolk etc)

I found the dungeon not that bad then again my group did manage to skip most of it (A combination of route chosen and luck when being given a key meant they avoided the mother dungeon entirly and most the crone) Ended up beefing things up a bit by having all the hags attack the party and the warden at once, Allowed said warden to leave with them and finally filled in the missing xp hole by creating a group sent by Irrisen to hunt them down (Turned into a nice running battle back to the hut.)

Suppose it could work if it is someone pretending to be Vader (After all most people dont know Anakin was vader)

This picture based on something? I could swear ive seen something like it before?

In the background next to the red jumping Kobold is that Lini or a pile of fungus?
