Hi, All!

My kids do like it. I've been playing RPGs with them off and on since they were six, and even tried a couple of sessions using the full Pathfinder RPG rules, but they really enjoy the Beginner Box.

I just did a guest blog spot with some of my "lessons learned" on Theodric the Obscure's blog, Mythopoeic Rambling. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Here's the article: Tales from the Junior Front: Playing Pathfinder with my Daughters

I'm really thrilled by how many people are using the Beginner Box to introduce their daughters to gaming!

It's been awhile, but I used to hand out an "Invisible Dead Turtle Award" to the player who rolled the most or best critical fumbles.

The name of the award came from the ICE Middle Earth Role Playing game's critical miss table. One of the entries indicated you'd tripped over "an invisible dead turtle" and impaled yourself with your own weapon.

As nobody has said it yet, ahem "'Sup witches?"

I'm really thrilled by how many people are using the Beginner Box to introduce their daughters to gaming!

About seven months ago, my brother-in-law, my daughter, and I played through a short homegrown Pathfinder campaign using my Pathfinder books. My daughter is now nearly ten which is about the age I started playing D&D in 1978. She loved the gaming sessions and leveled her Fighter up to sixth level before the conclusion of the campaign.

For Christmas, I bought her a Pathfinder Beginner Box (also purchased one for my nephew.)

The day after Christmas, she walked up to me with her arms literally hugging the Beginner Box and with tears running down her cheeks said to me "Daddy, I really love this present!"

No Joke. She was earnestly choked up and I think honored to be given her own set of Pathfinder rules which I so obviously revered. I recall preaching "Honey, careful not to write in the Pathfinder books". During the campaign with Brother-in-law, she had carefully put sticky notes on some of the pages of my Core Rulebook so that she could easily get back to the pages she wanted to find without damaging the book.

A week after Christmas, she had invited one of her friends over to our house and convinced her friend to give the Pathfinder Beginner Box game a try. I was so proud of her efforts to Dungeon Master the session for her friend.

I'll take the basic utopia that is ST:TNG

I kind of like being clean everyday, eating regularly, not getting sick, and not worrying too much about demonic possession or being raided by goblins.

Also, I believe most people buy APs not because "they're unhappy with other companies' new stuff.", but because it is the best product on the market.

Our Adventure Path line does extremely well for us both in terms of reception and providing a predictable monthly income that allows people like me to have a job to come into every day. I'm curious why you think we should change our business model away from one that works to something that might jeopardize not only our bottom line, but also our position as the preeminent fantasy RPG on the market today. Was it just yesterday's announcement, or are there specific issues you'd like to see addressed in our Adventure Path offerings?
