I think everyone is also skipping over the invasion of the bodysnatchers.... that right there is quite interesting.

It's not a real background generator unless you can die during character creation.

SM

Your character? Or you?

I am still trying to figure out how that feat is "hack&slash". You could play an entire session with no combat at all, and it could still be used.

Also, it's a feat. Taking a feat, and not getting mechanics from it.. would make it a pointless feat. So, unless all of the hardcore storybook "role-players" forsake taking feats, then complaining about new feats is also pointless.

But then, maybe my 25+ years of gaming has also made me realize that taking games so seriously is the most pointless thing of the bunch. Maybe I am jaded by living 8 miles from Glacier National Park, and spending most of my time outdoors in the most beautiful place on the planet.

Maybe...

Or not, because I'm not elitist. (Just pointing out how pointless being elitist is. There is always someone else that thinks that what you are being elite about is nothing special.))

I am really looking forward to this novel.

/facepalm

Scott... you are much much drunker than you think. I am sick of trying to point out to you that I didn't say what you claim I said.

How about I end it with. You win. Whatever you say. Whatever argument you want me to have, I'll take it just so you can prove me wrong.

As I said. Enjoy your time with your girlfriend. Enjoy the Sake. I have mead, myself... just opened it now.

Also, I should point out using bear spray in a school would be the height of irresponsibility. You could kill children with it.

80 percent of Montanans own at least 1 gun. 80 percent of them own more than 2 guns. 80 percent of them own more than 3 guns. Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians....

Kids here train with guns all the time.

There has never been a mass killing here. There has never been a school shooting here. The violent crime rate is lower than most states with massive gun restrictions.

If guns kill people, my own are defective.

Communication is good. :)

Paizo is a class act.

usually by the time the final cover and description go out the book is complete to a point where no real new additions can be made. Get in before that happens next time I guess.

Crap. I suppose you're right. It's almost Christmas now. For some reason, February just felt so far away. I guess part of me is still back in November or October...

Can someone maybe confirm or deny the inclusion of the noble pangolin (or an adequate substitute)? Can that be my Christmas present from Paizo? :D

Isn't that just an armadillo whose head detaches from it's body every night to feed?

So many of us have fled from Helgen so many times already, I can't believe we're actually going towards the place now.

Where exactly is Helgen? I looked through all the books I possess and didn't come across it on any maps.

Near Falkreath.

Llamas...

The favored beasts of Llamashtu.

See, now they couldn't put a Llama on the cover, because the troll would have been beaten long before the squirrel got there.

You might be pleased.

Yay!

Ah, my first Paizo credit! :)

Congrats, you do good work.

The monsters that scare me often resemble animals. Considering I live in an area away from huge urban centers where I hear coyotes howl and there are rumors of bears, the idea of any predator that could stalk, attack, and eat me seems to bring out some sort of primal fear - especially if I can't see it. I dread the long, dark, cold walk between my car and where I'm staying at every time I have to make it.

You would hate where I live. We have wolves, black bears, grizzly bears, coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, lynx, wolverines.... I live 8 miles outside of Glacier National Park in NW Montana. I also live in the Flathead National Forest, and have no city lights anywhere nearby.

The only animal I dread running into is moose. Unfortunately, I live on the Flathead River....

I do miss the alligators back in Florida, but I love it here.

This...looks...epic! I knew the Clockwork magic thing was going to be cool, but SHADOW MAGIC, Paladin options, AND a playable undead-type race!? If only there was a print version coming out!

Not just playable undead race, but two bloodlines descended from undead (Ghoul and Vampire).

Dhampir Vampiric Sorcerer is full of win!

Looks like I am going to have to place a second and third mortgage on my house!

Who needs a house? Just ask that it gets sent in a very large box.

We may need a Midgard verson of the Quests and Campaigns book to supplement it, too. :)

Between this, Kobolds of Golarion, Ultimate Campaign, Mythic Adventures and the upcoming APs.....

This game is getting even better.

Without money, they can't make more stuff. I like stuff.

Also, can't get enough plant-people... The Morphoi and their 1/2 CR cousins.

Yay! Glad you liked my plant folks. :)Brandon Hodge actually named the morphoi, but I put stats/description to name, and then created the nethysule. I had Land of the Lost in mind when making these folks...but plants instead of reptile-like creatures.

Yeah, my first thought is they don't look much like plants. It gives them a bit of a creepy quality.

Glad you liked Aroa, Mead, and that you got the Polynesian flavor. Aaack, do you know I'm not sure there is one reference to coconuts...though the atolls weren't always where they are now, and coconuts probably weren't indigenous. Heck, sure, add in coconuts! I'm pretty sure those suckers float between islands for years before washing up on some beach and sprouting. I know coral trees could do that. Hmm, how could I have overlooked coconut AND coral tree based vegepygmies.... (begins scribbling furtive notes)

And yes, Terminus Island and Murder, Fathoms Below totally rock. But that is just some of the awesome that awaits in Journeys... Also deatailed are a horrific Mythos inspired isle, a living island, a dread realm of undead, the Burning Shores, and the time-twisted Isle of the Morphoi await, as well as a range of different level adventures and more pirates than you can shake a pegleg at...

Or, the coconut can be carried by swallows!

Can't forget being stuck in a maze with a minotaur... and roach people.. ;)

Also, can't get enough plant-people... The Morphoi and their 1/2 CR cousins.

Good choice. :)

I'm an American Paleoconservative. I like sex in my games... but then, I am also an Odinist... and we tend to view things like that as natural.

That said, I am not interested in reading a gaming book, that is written by some average joe, on the subject. I already know everything I want to about sex.... reading a game designer's take on it does not sound like a fun thing to do.

I don't really see archetype bloat. I see options for those that want them. One person may not have a use for something, but someone out there will.

If they stopped doing archetypes because people claimed there were too many, then some of the ones I am interested in in ARG would not be there.

Llama llama duck.

Ooooooh... might have to have stats for a llama. Patrick would LOVE that (his screen saver cycles through pictures of dogs, cats, and llamas).

I assure you, there will be plenty of llamas in this book if I have any say in the matter, including rules for how they spit (a ranged touch attack) and new barding specially for llamas (barding, in this case, mostly means funny wigs).

My next door neighbor's llama had a baby. Because they are everywhere in Montana, nobody buys them anymore.. so I may be getting it for free.

I may actually get some barding made for it.

No, please.. I hate the catgirl/catboi look.

Core:

Dwarves are my normal go-to. In this, they are still awesomesauce.

However, Half-Orcs snuck up to awesomesauce, too.

I also like the Gnomes much better now, too.

Featured:

Tengu, Oreads and Orcs... oh my!

All three came out of nowhere to punch me with win. Oreads were my surprise winners.

Ratfolk, Catfolk, Goblins and Kobolds I also like. Tieflings also if you add Blood of Fiends, and I hope Blood of Night and Blood of Angels does the same.

Uncommon:

Gripplis won this one, but Strix and Duergar are close behind.

I hope it's not made of the same glossy paper as regular Paizo products, because I doubt you can safely use an eraser with them.

I dont think I saw an answer to this. Is the paper inside matte instead of the usual glossy?

They did. It isn't glossy.

Seriously? Why does there have to be one person in every group that has to scream 'That's racist!'? That gets old.

It is a mythological PC race based on shadow puppets. It does not represent real life Asians in the slightest. BTW, unless I am mistaken, Asians tend to find being called 'Oriental' offensive.

Can't we just have one preview without these really stupid complaints?

Me? I love the look of the Grippli. The Wayang, not-so-much.. but that is just because of that mustache...

The Ifrit looks bland.

None of the pictures are bad. The art is top notch as usual.. just other than the Treefrog.. these aren't my favorites. Still, they are great artists.
