One of the recent Society scenarios had "shortword" as a weapon for a foe. I told my players the word was "git." Then we had a whole conversation about "striking shortwords" and "precise shortwords."
Thanks, everyone. I found the rules in the back of the Bestiary after I knew what to look for.
I attempted a mosquito witch doll made from corn husks. Didn't turn out as good as I hoped, but hopefully it adds a little atmosphere at my table. That's awesome! I thought about trying that, but had no idea where to start. Great job!
Massive maps question: There is one really massive map in this scenario, with three areas separated by a lot of space, but where the party and the monsters could conceivably occupy different rooms simultaneously. How is everyone handling this? It’s bigger than my largest wet erase battlemat.
Thanks, everyone. I'm looking forward to running PFS2, but I don't want to give up my old characters, some of whom are just reaching the really fun upper levels. My -01 character just made 9th level this weekend at a con. There's been a lot of interest in our local PFS community for playing both systems side-by-side for a while.
I just got my first PFS GM Star. I would be way ahead of that, but I didn't start running PFS until I'd been playing for a couple of years, and then for about three years I ran modules in a game store once a week. If I had stars for all of those, I'd probably be a three star by now. :) Oh, and this weekend I run my first SFS scenario, Fugitive on the Red Planet.
Does it hold 18 whole packs, or just 18 tiles? If it only holds 18 tiles, I'd need five or six of them. I have a lot of tiles. One of the best products in the Paizo stable, if you ask me (and people seldom do.)
I'm just glad that my original post has led to such a rational discussion of language, religion and in-game morality. Thanks, everyone, for contributing to this thread.
As we are all geeks here, and not strangers to the pedantic, I thought I'd point out something that has been bothering me about the Campaign Setting. Rahadoum is described in various campaign setting works as "atheistic," but I think that it might be more correct to say that they are either dystheistic or misotheistic. These two philosophical positions represent the idea that the gods are real and powerful (which even those in Rahadoum would freely admit) but that all gods are inherently corrupt and unworthy of worship, despite what their followers might preach. Basically it's like this: a-theist = no god(s)

I know one of the objections would be "well, everyone knows the word 'atheism' and nobody has ever heard of these other two." Well, when I was in junior high school and started playing roleplaying games for the first time, I spent a lot of time with a big dictionary looking up all the words that I'd never seen before, and I was better off for it. What think ye, Pathfinders? |
