Am planning a mass catching up on reviews over the next day or so, so expect to see more soon.

Make out with a hot goth girl for me.

If the Magister is anything like the other Genius Classes they are going to be pretty well balanced. None of the Genius Classes I've allowed have been overpowered. Godlings (Adept, Clever, Eldritch and Mighty), Time Thief, Time Warden, Vangard, Shadow Assassian, Deathmage, Dragon Rider, Death Knight, Templar, and Mosaic Mage. All of these seemed to fit in fairly well with no issues of being grossley overpowered compared to the Core Classes and the Base Classes from the APG, Ultimate Combat and Ultimate Magic books.

In general we don't care that much about reviving old threads, though if the thread was several hundred grar-filled posts long, we'd usually prefer if it just stay dormant.

I'm not really big on technological fixes to human mistakes in general, actually. People who aren't paying enough attention to notice that they're posting a "hey me too!" comment on a years-dead thread probably wouldn't notice an "are you sure?" message either. More likely they'd just get annoyed at having to actually read what's on the screen in front of them, and our site has enough ways to annoy people already that I'd rather not add any more.

With the year slowly fading away and Christmas right around the corner I get this fuzzy feeling inside.
Thus, I wanted to use this platform to thank all the 3rd party publishers here who make the community thrive and produce awesome products. I wanted to say thank you for the votes of confidence, for complimentary copies in spite of my very critical reviews.
I wanted to thank all the people who read my reviews. All the people who comment in the product discussion.
And I wanted to especially thank some of you who have been encouraging and asking about how I'm feeling, how have provided me with encouragement and solace in some times where I would have least expected it, in a time where my personal life was less than pleasant. You know who you are.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. It's an honor to be a part of this community and I hope I can give something back to it.
Merry Christmas and happy whatever-holiday-you're-celebrating.

Why only for females?

Because Jodi is female, and frequently runs into the "it's armor, it's supposed to be protective, not sexy, stop being sexist toward women in fantasy" argument. She's just making sure her preference is known.

Or, to look at it another way: "Please make sure the ladies can have sexy armor" does not mean "Please make sure ONLY the ladies can have sexy armor."

Dtrpg is a lot more friendly towards publishers, since it lets publishers make their own sales, without gninja intervention.

I am happy to set up sales for any third-party publisher—that's my job after all. :) There are many tools I would like our publishers to have, but other priorities are ahead of those. If you're a third-party publisher, just think of me as your personal aide here at Paizo.com. :)

"Seriously, Betty, you know what this [yeti] could mean to science. If we find it, and it's real, it could mean a lot. It could mean actual advances in the field of science."
