I am not sure about the Paizo site but when I saw your post and then went to the FGG news post - it made me check my downloads from FGG. Tsar 13 is there and I downloaded it.

There are 1e things I have not read because I have not run them or played in them. I will not read anything I may play in one day. This should be the way to play. What fun is playing if you are not surprised by what comes up.

I would not play with someone who read ahead. I have a player who read the Heart of the Jungle book when we were getting ready to play Serpent Skull and even though it is not the adventure - it has been annoying the whole adventure path. He knows more than he should and it comes out from time to time.

I would love to see an ogre pack and a goblin pack after the Runelords comes out next summer. And maybe a giant pack after the stone giants are unleashed.

I am playing a Rogue/Shadowdancer now and I am liking it. I plan to take a total of four levels in Shadowdancer for shadow jump.

My only complaint is that in 3.5 the Shadowdancer got sneak attack at the same rate as the rogue and in Pathfinder there is no sneak attack. So, I have sacrificed about 2d6 in sneak attack damage so far.

And I do not have problems with the rogue. Every character class has it's role and I am happy with the role of a rogue.

I am still with the OP.

I can relate...

It sounds interesting... I am also interested in knowing about some of the Vampires of the Inner Sea. And some clarification on the first vampire, second and such...

Characters die....

I am just hoping that there are enough people interested in this that they decide to continue the whole solar system and eventually we have a hardcover book like the Inner Sea Guide for the solar system. That would be awesome, and then an AP on the red planet and then an AP on the green planet... And then...

Can't wait for this and everything that comes out after it.

I love all of the. I really like the Wraith. Bring on the Runelords. I might just up my subscription to 3 also.

Thanks Greg and Dawn...

I am looking forward to the Big news...

And now, off to the other planets...

It seems they usually put out an update about once a month or when something significant happens. I just got Black Monastery so I do not think anything is wrong. I just want to get this preordered.

Hello out there....

Nothing on this thread for a month and a half.

I can stop asking about BM being I got mine yesterday and now when can I order RA?

Impatiently waiting...

I love those books. And the John Carter books and the Planet Stories Martian stuff...

Okay, so I said I thought Black Monastery was shipping out starting tomorrow and then I picked up my mail and it is here. I just opened it up...

All, I know is I am glad that I ordered two cases and I am considering doing three in the future but haven't decided.

I have filled in some singles from Paizo and a few off ebay and I am a happy camper.

Looking forward to the Runelords set.

There is another thread someplace where Dawn said that Black Monastery is in and they will start shipping soon. She said February 1st but I have not heard anything new in a couple of weeks.

I am not sure what thread it was in. I did a search and could not find it.

Problem is that when a FGG thread gets going people seem to talk about all things Frog God and it is a bit hard to find a specific post.

All I know is that for the Runelords minis we need wet Papa Grazuul...

My players will be fighting him Sunday!!!

I love Wet Papa... One of my favorite fights and the first lost character for me in Runelords. One player jumped in the water with him....

I agree this is my best lich mini.

That makes me wonder if the game just have gotten less lethal or people who play now just have a different mindset regarding player death.

Both 1e and 2e were much more lethal. Many things have changed as the game evolved. 3e was the beginning of the lethality dropping.

I just played some 1e with my son. I had a 2nd level Paladin and several hirelings. We bumped into 8 zombies and got our asses kicked. It was not good at all. We ended up having to run. Only took down two zombies and two of the hirelings died.

Now, part of this is no cleric. In Pathfinder a Cleric has channel energy to heal and the Paladin has more going for him than one lay on hands a day for 4 points.

Today we were playing Carrion Crown. The group was not getting any random encouters and almost arrived at their destination. One of them (the Paladin) wanted an encounter. I let another player role percentage dice to find out which one it would be. Quickwood... That is tough. The paladin almost died in the surprise round. Three of the characters panicked. If it was no for the cleric and the channels the group would have been done at least three of them would have died and maybe more as they recovered from their panic.

They did well dealing with the encounter. And it was the channel energy that saved the day and a few other spells.

All I know is that for the Runelords minis we need wet Papa Grazuul...

I would love to see a goblin pack with at least four new sculpts.

I actually love it. That is A GIANT RAT!!! I bought enough separately to have about 6 or so.

I always play music when we play. I have satellite radio and play a 60s or 70s thing because that works for most of my group (our age group).

Sometimes I play a playlist from my ipod. But not something game related. I have tried that and I found that it is another thing I need to attend to. It was nice when I did it. I have a hard time preparing for my sessions anyway because I have a busy life. Now, when I have done it, it has been fun but it is a time thing.

I live in Lacey and have had no power since early this morning. I have pure ice in front of my house and it looks like someone stole my snow shovel. With sixteen inches behind my car and no shovel I will stay here u til I starve or it melts.

I saw my email last night (i believe) but did not download anything. Thought i would do it todsy but my power is out. Now only have my tablet. Not sure i want to download there.

I would like to see the current edition of Pathfinder go 10 years. Paizo is not so much about the rules as about the world building and adventure making. I love their business model and hope they continue it .

Don't know about Redmond but I woke up to at least a foot of snow in Olympia.

Guess I need to avoid these threads like I did back in the early 4e/Pathfinder days.

This is just crazy talk...

I would love a hard cover book for the Gods of Golarion putting together all of the AP articles on the Gods and whatever else Paizo has for us since those early day of the Gods and Magic book.

Can't wait for the hardcover....

I bought two cases and I did not have one broken mini. I cannot imagine getting a case with several broken minis. I imagine that for such a thing to happen the box it comes in would have had to be crushed.

Also, when it comes to scale, this set did teach us a few lessons about how to communicate scale with WizKids—and how to figure out when a sculpt has scale issues before it's too late—and you'll see fewer issues in future sets. (We wish the troll were a bit bigger and the dire rat were a little smaller, but the rest are generally close to where we want them to be.)

I wish the troll were at least as big as the ogre but I love the rat just the way it is...

The subscription is a Case Subsciption. Those encounter packs are not considered cases. Cases are just the big collections like this one and the Runelords coming up.

My question is when are singles going to available. I have about 15 to 20 commons I would like to pick up to round out what I got in my two cases.

I also changed mine and I said so in the customer service area of the board. They shipped it out right away.

Tell them you want it shipped immediately and they will shoot it right out.

I like what you are doing here. Please include the CR for the Dragon on the page like you did with the Bloddytongue.

Thanks...

A trident. They all have a photo someplace.

No they were both 5s.

Funny, the minis I want more of are all commons and there are only four of those. A very good distribution.

I previously posted this is in the Heroes and Monsters thread.

I received my two cases arrived. I broke them open and some of the miniatures I just love and others are just so so for me.

I was surprised the trolls were so small compared to the minotaurs and the ogres but I do like the mini.

Not overly impressed with the zombie, skeleton or mummy.

Love the Werewolf, goblins, ettins, spiders (especially the large one), best Lich I have ever seen, the rats are incredible, and I like the succubus.

I like almost all the player character minis - a couple are do not seem to represent their class well for me like the druid but it is okay.

I am a happy camper. With two cases I got 5 trolls, 5 ettins, 2 large spiders, 2 manicores, 2 minotaurs, 3 ogres (not my favorite but I am sure we will get more in Runelords) and at least 2 of the other larges. Really almost a perfect distribution. I would like some more rats I think.

Thank you Paizo and Wiz Kids. I look forward to Runelords, Encounter Packs and whatever else is coming. Need a mini for Wet Papa Grazuul.

heh heh heh

That is hilarious.

Nice! Reminds me of old John Carter art.

Yes, I love that. The cover reminds me of the Green Martians of Barsoom and I can't wait. There would be nothing better than a full blown hard cover book of the solar system and an AP on the red planet for starters. I sure hope that is in the works.

That is a good question...

That was awesome. Thank you all for such a quick turn around. Can't wait to get them.

Thanks Vic. I am really looking forward to them.

When are you going to announce some of the skirmisher packs?

I am looking forward to these being released too.

And Runelords...

And Carrion Crown...

And Serpent Skull...

And anything else you can think of. Can't wait for it all...

Yes, I would love to ship now... Thank you...
