Hi friends,

It seems my may subscription shipment is still showing as "currently pending", and it's been like this for several days. Since I see you already authorized the June one, I find it strange.

Can you give ot a look ? I've already had shipments blocked because of one product in the past, and i'd hate to miss on my favourites modules.

Best,

I for one would like to thank (almost) everyone in this thread for helping me avoid a landmine. Instead of buying ME3 I saved the money and bought Witcher 2 and Orochi Warriors 3.

Orochi Warriors, by the way, has three different endings that actually depend somewhat on your actions. Take of that what you will.

Great choice man !

So who did you save in Witcher 2 ?
The child-heiress, or Triss ?

Having just read that module, I found it really nice, and am eager to run it when I can.

Good job !

Ah well, does not hurt to ask.
I have a friend into CoC, need to motivate him to master ... will probably have to bribe him.

Just seen about Unusual Suspects. I am interested.

Are you (or anyone) recruiting for PBM ?

I am not really into PBM, but I think this would be worth it.

Yeah, and too early too, IMO.

Best kept for later.

Well I can find worse ways of dying ... :)

Yet, it seems a bit silly, I'd agree.

Oh, and I think Tem has it right :)

Has it shipped yet ? Has IT shipped yet ?

Preciousssss !

Had I been remotely interested, some of these clauses would have violated my new work contract.

I for my part also am annoyed as hell about faulty German or French or Scandinavian name-conventions as well. *cough* Fairy-tale the demonwolf *cough*

I get why you want to keep adhering to the name you've been using.Personally, I understand why mixed name-conventions annoy some people.

Hi End,

Unfortunately, I have not seen many French faulty naming in english products, as I have not seen many at all. Though if you hav a few examples, I could use a good laugh.

Best,

Hiya,

Can anyone tell me where we are with this project ?
any ETA ?

Best,

I shoot most of them as demon Hunter and few of them escape my wrath.

hmmm ... five days to go + whatever shipping time + customs probably ...

The Riddle of Steel ...

The Secret of steel ... is the hand that wields it !

Crossbows and any other weapons should only be as good as their owners.

IMO and all the rest.

Good points alex.

The indoctrination attempt seems pretty plausible, but it still does not excuse the fact that you don't even know which ending you choose when you turn left or right in the end.

Or that the ending does not make much sense ...

I don't like MMOs. Always been disappointed; the ones I liked best was Conan and what's the name that was inspired by Elmore.

The problem for me is always the same : after the first few level where you learn to play, you have to endure Timmy and his pals because you are forced to group in front of absurd difficulty just to bash stupid monsters with sub-par loot.

The first 30 levels of Conan were great ... after that meh then Bleaargh !

I won't even mention the other MMOs I tried.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH !!!

I just finished the game.

Now I understand the previous comments. The Suck !

I won't even post my exact thoughts, but I'll say the while most of the game was good, the ending is on par with Duke Nukem Forever.

All it sums to, is : turn left or right. I don't even know what I actually chose, all I can say is the crew of Normandy ends up on a eden ^planet though not everyone. For instance, Ashley was with me on the final assault, and she should have died, yet she was there.

Or maybe, this is some religious mumbo-jumbo : the Normandy is destroyed, everyone is dead, and they are in heaven ?

Next time : I'll vote with my wallet and remember this.

In all seriousness though ... I just don't care about 5e.

Pathfinder ROCKS ! anything else is irrelevant. Wish luck to the others.

Doom ! Doom ! Doom !

(The 1e fiend folio said so !)
And don't get me started on the Mayo calendar ...

MMmmmmm ... Mayo !

I loved Risen 1. Cool atmosphere, great intrigue, nice fights and all.

And great difficulty too ... well at least initially :) You really see your character grow from nobody to badass ...

I really hope to have it in my mail box tomorrow.

Do you know if the limited edition includes the soundtrack ? I'd hate to miss the soundtrack ! the first one was good.

Good news indeed

"If they had made the willing super mutant character die or go away, so you no longer had the choice of sending in a radiation immune proxy to do the final, THEN that would make sense"

Well I think at some point I got him killed. But I think I got an ending where he went instead of me.

Could be wrong though, it's been a while.

While I love Paizo modules, it's true that they could benefit sometimes from more fluff to valorize the investigation / behind the scene parts. These parts are already there, just find some way to give them more light.

For instance, I loved the Feast of Ravenmoor execution, and I prefer it to the Ruby Phoenix tournament, while the latter had a better premise to start with. It's not the content, both are good, it's the hype that I get from reading it.

In short, my take is you need to convince the DM of the worth of your module, and how he will enjoy it, so that he feels he must out perform himself, and be ready to wing the parts that you can't cram in 32 pages.

YMMV, of course.

See if you can find the 3.5 "The Eldest Son" from Reaper.

Really good investigation there.

I really loved this product. I can't wait for my next turn behind the screen to let my players appreciate it fully.

MINE ! In the mail today, at last my Precioussss !!!!

Mwahahahaha !

Hell, I've seen flame wars on some of the cooking sites I go to make this look civil.

You'll have to send me the links, now cook wars : the game seems a good idea.

I pledged for Hero I think. That's good enough for me. :)

I have just started ME3, so I'll reserve my opinion for now, though given what I've seen of the series, I don't see how I could possibly choose anything else than "destroy".

Other points :
Cool Graphics, Yay !
What have they done to my Normandy again ! Them Bastards !

My thoughts : D&D is dead, long live Pathfinder ! Rock n' Roll baby !

But more power to those who want the new ed. Enjoy yourselves and do what's right for you.

I just know my money keeps going to Paizo for quite a while I think.

No refunds for me. The books, only the sweet, sweet, books ...

Oh and the smell of blood on the water will do, too, instead of art.

:)

I'd say :

1st ed (for the Gygaxian prose) but I still prefer Pathfinder

and N1 Against the Cult of the reptile God.

Though for the best modules coming behing N1 :

The Desert of Desolation series
The Tomb of Horrors
and of Course : I6 : RAVENLOFT !!!

Mwahahahahahahaha !

EDIT : While I love N1, in retrospect Ravenloft should come first.

Paid; Can't wait now.

Hiya,

I am quite certain I pre-ordered, but as I live overseas, I do not know yet (I think) about shipping costs ?

I do not mind the possible extra, but when will you send an email about this, just so I can plan ahead ?

Best,

My only complaint about KQ is that one of my players

keeps borrowing my issues before I even have time to read them !

and also :

Very interesting, thank you Sissyl.

Reading of the above, my main reproach would be : it feels like a half-done corporate bungle, and while it is not good by any stretch, it does not deserve unholy hatred.

Will see about that probably next week end, when I finish ME2.

I definitely want these books.

Hi Nic and Lou,

No refunds for me, but I am still interested in whatever book comes out.

Best,

I am not even finished with ME2 yet, you guys are spoiling ME3 aplenty to me.

OTOH : I am fairly confident that the DLCs will fix everything before I am there.

Realism in this context is, I believe :

Wow, this can in the real world CAN do that... and I CAN beat him (with a good chance).

Silly is : Wow, this guy in the real world CAN do that ... and I will beat him, even if I don't try really that hard.

Now there is the thing about leveling up. Of course, when you are level 15 +, or maybe 5+ ... realism is really, really relative. After all, if I am level 15, I am already quite well on the path to godhood/sainthood/herogod/whathaveyou.

In the end my point is : realism is all and well at low levels, and should be enforced, just to show how good you are afterwards, and how well you can ignore those pesky mortal problems.

It looks like you are having fun with your group, and that's a pretty good idea overall, especially as it will motivate your team to defend Sandpoint at a later stage in the campaign.

As for the price, I'd go the Bruce Wayne way and hire a butler :)

gog.com allows you to get quite a few old games for a very reasonable price.

Also, I love their soundtrack bonuses.

Woah !

That's mighty cool man.

The only thing to top that would be to make a cake model of the town, so that your players can eat it afterwards. Would be difficult to find a hexagonal dish, though, I think.

Congrats !

Salut Karim, et bienvenue à bord.

It's 1,562 € /liter here apparently.

Lucky me I don't need a car.

In France, we used to have Casus Belli magazine for RPGS, and I'm fairly certain there were catfolks for D&D described and statted in the early 80s.

I even think some may have been in the Fiend Folio.

LANA DEL REY !

Now, that's some woman with a voice !

My party of PCs from Rise should do the trick. Just asume that by that time they have won, and by coincidence are in town, with their own 16 lvl + cohorts, and well ...
