I'm on the top floor of this plantation manor in Virginia, finally have a bar of data. Doubt I can post with any frequency

Wednesday through Sunday I will be in Virginia for a Wedding. I will attempt to post twice a day during this. Providing I can get Data service at the resort and other variables such as booze.

I'm really excited to see how wolf or coyote will handle this outside influence.

Love the cyclops.

Disclaimer: The conditions for being very f~@@ed up on Derby have been met. So don't expect much out of me tomorrow.

that's what Deagan should name his minstrel troupe

Sorry this joke is really bad

Would you say he has a gift of one liners, or a way with Swords?

That is so epic.

It's like the last line of an episode of GoT before it fades to black and the music starts playing...

I'd been pining for white dragon news for months... This makes up for it.

To be clear this is happening on Kalhars watch.

The most entertaining encounter was surviving a CR15 for 4 rounds. Michael flew above and tried to pierce the Spell Resistance from a distance. Thomas was confused and knocked unconscious, Dan was nauseated and confused, Megz was confused. All save for Michael failed to damage it, 1 out of 5 NPCs they were trying to rescue died (decapitated by a confused Thomas) and a couple beat themselves unconscious while confused/running.

Let Mortal Kombat Begin!

Is anyone else seeing the pattern I am? "Everything by Jim Groves is fantastic"

That's been my experience. It helps that he interacts well on the boards.

My apologies, last week was certainly busy.

Louisville plays for the National Title tonight. If I die, it was great knowing you guys!

First post from the new digs.

Lease signed tonight. No promises of post consistency going into early next week.

I'm on board

For variety and its sake, I think this is the best choice.

@Bali thanks,this our first PBP. Though our group does have extensive experience playing together in person.

Now that there are more than 4 Iconics made since the Beginners Heroes, maybe she gets a reprise in a second Heroes Box?

Thanks for the update, Gary. It is simultaneously slightly disappointing (I'm so ready to use this!) and heartening (I love that Paizo cares more about getting something right than getting it out there ASAP).

Agreed,we all know about unfinished products like;

Giants Citizen Kabuto,
Duke Nukem Forever,
WarZ (Not to be confused with DayZ)
and many more

Don't forget Aliens: Colonial Marines.

(Which makes two Gearbox products on the unfinished list)

Lini and Sajan as the iconics I'd guess. But anyway I forgot to say earlier that I love these goblins. I'd guess this builder series will stay in production for quite awhile.

Good to see the Goblin Mystic back in the fold. Is the huge white dragon next?

I think this approach is spot on.

Who's Patrick Renie?

Former editorial intern, current developer for Paizo.

They had me at steampunk.

This is where they lost me.

Too bad, I've been waiting for years for Paizo to go with a large module format. Maybe next time.

Edit: Just saw Dragons Demand - looks like I will pick that one up.

The Dragon's Demand is the first module to use the format.

The few times I actually get to play as a PC, I play in a Mercenary Game set in Magnimar. The Magnimar map will probably be pinned to the wall. I was surprised by how few maps there were but glad they were big. Thumbs up.

Does appeasing the volcano involve Dave Chappelle?

Can I assume the book's spine is Gold Leaf?

What Campaign Setting book will accompany this?

Prince, Master, Queen, King. Check

NEXT WE NEED A HARDBACK COMPILATION of all Jeggare and Radovan stories.

With monsters included, how big is this book?

I really want to smite something.

Prayers are answered.

How long would it take to play through Burnt Offerings? How variable are the instances of games?

I think an overlooked point here is that if this line really takes off (considering this a relaunch) then they can always add more to the pipeline. (Assuming it doesn't cannibalize AP sales.)

I've run Council of Thieves, Kingmaker, Runelords, and I'm running the first Reign of Winter

I've played in Jade Regent and Carrion Crown

Do you want a theme? There is an AP for that.

(btw the opening for RoW has been incredibly fun)

Kingmaker was a blast to run, my players really bought into it.

Council of Thieves drags in parts but the Sixfold Trial was my all time favorite role playing experience.

Runelords is so easy to pick up and run. It is in the most heavily supported part of the setting and comes compiled in a single cheap volume. Not to mention the minis, or tokens, and other support.

My GM has killed 6 or 7 characters in a 6 player Carrion Crown.

Easiest Recommendation: Runelords.

On the chance that paizo is reading this thread I would like to see a subscription where i can get the entire path including the recommended books like irrisen and people of the north for a path so that i dont have to eat the shipping charges each time and its a oneshot deal each time in case that particuliar path doesnt interest me. Just a thought since although I liked almost every path the westcrown one i didnt care for much as it relies heavily on perform without ever mentioning how important it is that all the players have it.

I think they bundle the APs sometimes for Holiday sales. That is the closest it comes I believe.

Council of Thieves wasn't all that great. But the Sixfold Trial was the most fun I have ever had on a Tabletop.

I have NOT purchased this one yet (at the rate my group plays, it will take another three years to finish our current AP). I did download the Player's Guide and was perplexed about the match - or mismatch - between the sort of characters who would thrive in the setting and the starting point of the campaign. Does the 1st scenario make this work?

Here's what I mean:

The Player's Guide makes it very clear that being capable in the frozen wastes is very important. BUT the players are not from the frozen wastes. They are from the much warmer lands to the south. This would be an apparent mismatch between scenario start and the sort of PCs who would do well. What are winter witches or whatever doing in the warm lands of southern France...er, Taldor? Doesn't this just make for PCs who are all oddballs where they live?

It does, 4 of my 5 PCs are from Northern Countries and are just in town. I have a line about fate that I have an opportunity to play up about halfway through the book that I will use. But I definitely scratched my head when all the builds were passed by me.

The rules for combat and such are supposed to be printed in the upcoming Ultimate Campaign as well.

See, I'm coming up with 1,250/2,000 before area H. Easily hitting 2nd level by the end of the Lodge.

Kor, in the special miniatures section the Details on the Emerald Automaton and the Festering Spirit are swapped. Thought you'd like to know.

Having run Kingmaker, I personally loved the map folio. It really helped the RP of exploring, kingdom building, and the eventual warfare.

If you can't find it, snag the PDF and Print it out.

I wanted to know, are the books that are unavailable ever going to be printed up again?

Finally, Paizo did reprint one complete AP -- the first one, Rise of the Runelords, in a gorgeous deluxe edition. It costs a lot of money ($200, or $180 if you buy this week and use the "ksthanks" February discount). But it's actually cheaper than trying to pick up the modules on eBay; the last time I looked, the first one alone was going for over $100.

So, short version: if it's OOP, it's gone, probably forever. If it's going OOP, grab...

The Anniversary Edition is cheaper than the Deluxe (60usd).

But they have said they don't plan on selling compilations of older APs. They maintain that the Runelords update and compilation was a one off.

It takes longer than I'd like but I don't have issue with download system.

I do want to get my hands on the Reign of Winter material asap.

I'm betting Kingmaker

A small part of me loves the case distribution, especially when I'm opening the last pack wondering if Dullahan is in it. (he was, complete set, very exciting)

My dragon was in perfect shape. I broke the named derro while pulling it out, I'll be able to glue it back. I also had another named derro arrive without his head. I need to take a picture because I'm amused by it, not sure I'll send it in for replacement.

Dear god do I love the golems and elementals in this set.

I like the large minis that extend over bases. You get a sense of differing sizes within the category.

Great work on the set. I picked up a pack at my FLGS today while I wait on my case. My favorite bit about this set is probably the elementals. I got a medium fire in my pack and I love it. I can't wait to get my hands on the golems.

Time to speculate on the next set? Huge White Dragon, Gargantuan Green Dragon, Animal Companions, mounts, Heroes & Monsters 2, maybe Kingmaker?

There are a thousand Vic posts about it, but even having semi regular compilations of old 3.5 product would serve to undermine the current business model. I personally love the uniqueness of the Runelords AE. If given the choice between rehashing old content and new, I would choose new almost every time.

Yeah I haven't even considered trying the PFS scenarios.
