Congratulations, Nevynxx, to you and your wife!

I will pass on to the "wife", thank you. Once I've recovered a little sleep, we shall all be very happy.

Thank You!

I want to know how on earth you miss-pronounce necromancer!

"This video contains content from UMG. It is not available in your country."

Clearly it's some kind of British thing and is thus far too evolved for my simple American mind.

It's probably your gov't sanitising the web for you....

Try this last.fm link instead Mwahahahaha

How would I run Ravenloft using Pathfinder Rules? Check out "Rule of Fear" and the Carrion Crown Adventure Path—that's how! :)

Every time you mention carrion crown, you make me want it that little bit more....

Would playing in a PbP count as far as your contractual message board participation, or just be purely for fun?

It is bad, but I'll make it work.

Thank you all for understanding.

There's a few places I'd rather be than pbp'ville, but I'd want all of you guys there with me. You're my mates.

Peace, Heathy. Take it easy man. We'll keep the light on for you.

Thanks Fatespinner, you've got that in my head now, so I needed to return the favour!

Get your head straight Heathy, and we'll see you back here in a flash.

Actually, PaizoCon UK is the Month AFTER!

Make up yer bloody minds, Britons ! And tell me the correct date, for arrangements must be made !

16th-17th July 2011 it is. Keep an eye on the PaizoCon UK website or the PaizoCon UK 2011 thread on this forum for further details.

Sorry! i obviously can't contain my excitement, and get *very* confused...

{disturbing story}

Nearest thing I had to that was meeting a guy who insisted that the Blair Witch Project was real. He had problems wrapping his head around the fact that the internet had interviews with the actors on it made after the film was released, and thought they must have been 'faked, somehow'.

Best directors commentry ever on that DVD. They some of the most, odd, things.....

Fortunately, I don't the think the damage is massive enough.

(Digging myself a hole) The optional Massive Damage rule on the SRD (which I checked to see if I needed to make the save) says more than half your hit points....Camlo just lost 76% of his....

Chickens counted.

Ducks in line.

Soon.

-Lisa

Have the chickens hatched though? You can't count them before they hatch!

Very kind of you to say that. Only volunteer GMs get to influence table assignment :D

Oh, of course I'll be volunteering to DM, it a) reduces the cost, b) gives me a more concrete reason for the Mrs as to why I can't cancel at the last minute, and c) is just as much fun as the playing part!

Same as last year is my current plan, i.e. DM 1, play one Sat, DM 1 Sun... Play one Sunday too, depending on Travel arrangements...

:D

@Wits: She is last on the initiative, so do you want to delay until she acts, or consider the attack in your next round?
@Dean: Have a proper action, you should have been able to see the creature for this round, so it's not right for you to just do nothing....

Luc's bolt hits the creature, but it doesn't seem to do much damage. Reynard's hit affects it more, but still doesn't seem to damage it as much as you would expect.

Emanual...

I'm Jason from Lichfield just north of Birmingham and have been playing or GM'ing games for over 20 years.

Hopefully that means we will see you at PaizoConUK in the summer!

Welcome to the boards! I'm not in that area myself, but if you hang around long enough, someone will turn up, I'm sure...

That's part of the plan!

I can't help but hear a "Mwa ha ha ha" at the end of any sentence you end with "Plan". Not sure why ;)

Just to put my order in, I would *love* to be in a game you run again Dave. Among the Dead is one of my favourite gaming experiences to date...

I'm entirely with you on this one Joana.

It looks like 16th/17th might be the preferred date. I'll confirm things next week so if anybody has a problem with that weekend they need to let me know by the end of the week.

As there have been no objections I can confirm that PaizoCon UK 2011 will be on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th July 2011 at Aston University Business School Conference Centre.

In Calender.

Just got email. Whoop whoop. No purchases as yet....

You should listen to your friend. He/she's speaking wisdom.

Musicals are the lowest form of entertainment.

Now... SOMETIMES, singing in films is okay. Bearable even.

But full-fledged musicals? Worse than fire cancer.

I was hoping you wouldn't (but kind of thought you may) say that.

I can only pity the both of you.

After having said that, have you seen the first three of Baz Luhrmann's films? Or This...

Dear James,

I have a good friend who "can't" watch any film "with singing in it".

How should I best deal with this abhorrent personality quirk?

Because Seattle is more super than New York.

This way, your core assumption stays to just the Core Rulebook and the Bestiary. It also pleases the fanbois and other folks who buy all the books.

Might just be me... but the term "fanboy" or "fanboi" really grates on me. Especially since the folks who buy all the books are the ones who help me pay my rent. ESPECIALLY since, if I didn't work at Paizo, I'd absolutely be one of those folks who buys all the books.

There's a thread for introducing yourself to other UK members here

Diana, definitely check out this thread. There are *lots* of us in the uk, and my comments above about copying the odd stat block in shops definitely holds true. Not to mention free 'net access in the local Library ;)

Failing that, there are a surprising amount of game shops we can point you at for such a small country. Last but not least, Waterstones carry a good amount of the Paizo line.

:D

I had a similar problem with the APG today, ordered last week from UK book seller using Christmas Vouchers, and it was on "Usually ships in 1-2 days" still hadn't shipped today, they claimed no stock, and don't know when to expect more, then 2 hours after I tweet whining about it, it miraculously ships.....

Odd, but I'm happy. ;)

You forgot one.

I was paraphrasing the outline from memory. There is a lust spell in UM.

Sounds like some perfect spells for Runelords ;)

PS. Things a Rogue can do at 3rd level: detect & open infinite locked doors and detect & disarm infinite traps.

Things a Wizard can do at 3rd level: Open infinite trapped doors, open exactly 1 lock, disarm 0 traps not on doors or chests, detect 0 traps

Well, I'd say the wizard can keep right on detecting traps, until he runs out of hit points. He just doesn't detect them in any way that prevents them from hurting him ;)

I'd err on the side of "If the party is lacking a "role" and the DM doesn't adapt to that, then the DM sucks" though....

I'm not saying he should remove things that will be a lot harder without that role, but he should be making sure challenges are possible to defeat.

It's the only way to be sure...

;)

...how tough would it be to print out the stats for those few monsters well before the game?

10 minutes with a pen and paper, anywhere with an internet connection (school, work, public library, coffee shop.....).

I'm pretty sure most FLGS owners wouldn't take much notice of you copying a stat block or two out in the shop now and again. Of course, if you manage to get the whole book that way, I'd say you deserve a free copy on general principle... :)

My Face2Face group meets once per month. We've had enough scheduling conflicts recently that we haven't played since September, and won't until Feb...

I try to keep all pertinant info on Obsidian Portal but getting them to glance at it every now and then is quite the difficult task...

Something that's been niggling at me about this thread.

The book states at least a dozen times that the NPCs are to show two things:

1) How to pick skills etc to create NPCs of a specific type that are "memorable"

2) To give a list of stat blocks to cover a wide range of levels to be used in a pinch.

It couldn't be more clear on the fact that these stat blocks show only one way to create that prostitute, or dealer, or cobbler or king...

Happy new year! How did everyone celebrate? Of course, with half of us with new babies, I'm expecting nothing too rowdy. Me, I watched the 9pm Sydney fireworks on tv, went to bed around 11 after doing a baby nappy change ... and was up again at 2, doing a baby nappy change ...

I spent between about 10:30 and 1:30 learning to crochet. Now that's a rock and roll life style ;)

I can step in for Luc if you want me too. I don't mind.

Just let me know if that's cool. No biggie, either way.

It may be sensible, he hasn't posted in a while...

Third wife, or third child? ;)

Yet again Mr Moffett uses time travel, not just to get *to* the story, but as *part of* the story. Beautifully done. Brilliant episode.

V6

Got it that time. Odd, that I never saw it in hotmail, wasn't even in junk.....

Also- I don't have a PFS # for Fog to officially report him and I have no email for Mothman/Aldred to send out his chronicle sheet.

Ooops, I'll stick it in his profile for next time...

With friends like these ... ;)

Dabbler! Dabbler always needs more enemies....

DabblerEnemyCount += 1;

I think we are waiting for actions for Luc and Reynard now are we not?

I should have time to DMPC them later today if necessary.

While I'm sure a lot of UK Pathfinders are thinking about gaming at Conception at present, I'm also planning for PaizoCon UK 2011.

So what dates would be good? 9th-10th July? 16th-17th July?

My family are getting accustomed now to arranging their July around when PaizoCon is not the other way round... ;)

Which is closest to when it was last year? Do either of those clash with anything random?

Do you consider British films (28 days later, slum-dog millionaire, dogma) to be foreign films, or do you, like most people, assume they are US made, never noticing the difference, because they are completely in English?

I don't mean this in any sort of disrespectful way, although I can see how you could take it that way. I'm British and took a good long time from getting into film, to realising there even was a British film industry...

Dogma is an American film, perhaps James can mentally swap in This Is England.

Dogma was probably a bad example. I just took a few from the Film4 productions listing on Wikipedia The Dogma page certainly cites it as a US film with no mention of Film4, and the Film4 productions listing could indeed be incorrect.

The others I'm sure about though ;)

If I cast invisibility on the only light source in a sealed room, does the room go dark?

Nope. It just makes the room weirdly lit by something no one can see. Like you might see in most movies with scenes that supposedly take place in the dark of night or in a lightless cavern.

I hate that phenomenon. Major respect for films that make darkness dark. Fight club was good on that. Know any others, James?

There's a lot of films who use night-vision as a way to show us what's going on in utter darkness:

Apparently Tron:Legacy will be very good on this score. They've managed to make self illuminating suits, so in dark bits, the suit lights are the only lights in the room...

It means the save DC is 10 + 1/2 racial HD + a creature's Cha modifier, as opposed to Con-based like poisons or most breath weapons, so if the monster takes enough Cha damage that its Cha modifier decreases, the save DC of the particular ability will decrease accordingly.

Ah, cool!

What does "This save DC is Charisma based" mean?

Particularly I saw this a few hours ago in the Wendigo entry of PF#6...
