Unfortunately, I must cancel my Pathfinder subscription for a while. When things pick up again, I'll renew it.

Thanks,

Definitely make the screen landscaped.

Good news, the package showed up this afternoon. The box was somewhat worse for wear but the contents were fine. Thanks!

Bumping for no response.

On 10/06/08, I received an email confirmation that Paizo Order #1053685 would be shipping shortly and to expect it in 4 to 8 days. To date, I haven't received it. Could you please check on what happened to my order? I've already received my Pathfinder subscription and another order both of which shipped after this purchase.

Thanks,

Vernon Fults

in our group, crits happen only on a natural 20; no confirmation, doing max damage.

I'd like Paizo to partner with Reaper Minis to make prepainted plastic Pathfinder minis; first release: a box set of the iconic characters. (Come on, you know the Seoni figure will drive sales through the roof, lol.)

It must be landscape format. I'd find the Conditions Table, XP Table, and Combat Modifiers most useful. While I love the Pathfinder world, avoid putting setting specific data on the screen.

Why use such an oddball solution instead of (say) using a bigger point buy? Not that there's anything wrong with oddball solutions.
Not my choice. I wanted to give them 30 points; a couple argued that was too much. Others were stroking out over the -2 penalty on demi-humans (which I don't care for, but it's not a deal breaker to me). After an hour of going over it, that's what the 4 players decided they wanted; lol.

QFT. This thread is like reading through Blizzard's World Of Warcraft Forums. I keep waiting for someone to jump out behind a bush screaming "NERF WARLOCKS" at any moment...

We've just started playing the beta. At the character creation session, some players did not like how few points they got to make their characters. After a bit of discussion, we compromised on using the 25 point buy and eliminating the -2 penalty for demi-humans. To sort of balance this out for the humans and half-elves, they get a +2 and a +1 to place in whatever ability they want (but not both in the same ability).

I'm very pleased with the gazetteer and am going to use it when I start my 4E campaign this summer. I posted this question in the thread gazetteer thread below but no one's answered; how do you pronounce Cheliax? Is it Chel-e-ax, CHEL-e-aa, or Chel-e-az?

Regards,

V

I just recently purchased the gazeteer and am very impressed with it. I have a small question, however. What is the correct pronunciation of Cheliax? I want to put a French spin on the word and say "Chel-e-aa" but one of my players thinks it's "Chel-e-ax" and another thinks it's "Chel-e-az."

Thanks,

I preordered the new Order of the Stick book back in July (order #656380). I see that it's listed as available on the web site but I haven't received my copy yet. Is there a problem?

Thanks,

This is so sad. I own literally hundreds of miniatures that he sculpted over the years starting back in the 1980's when he worked for Ral Partha. He was a phenomenal talent.

A castle! Coolness, indeed!

I purchased the Village set; it's worth the price for the tavern tiles alone. I've also pre-ordered the Graveyard set. The tiles are very convenient, portable, means for setting the scene in an encounter.

I wouldn't mind buying the tiles and scenarios for this line to use with D&D prepainted minis but I just don't have the time anymore to paint minis. Any chance that in the future the tiles and scenarios will be bundled and sold separately from the miniatures?

I received my Village map set in the mail today. Wow, am I impressed! Very nice detail on all the tiles! This set will get a lot of use in my Castles & Crusades rpg. I am going to get the graveyard set when it becomes available, too.

As for future sets, I'd like to see a multi-level keep (dungeon, ground floor, second floor, roof)consisting of about six tiles per level; a wizard's tower; a geomorphic cavern set (in fact, several of these); a good and an evil temple, another urban set or two to complement the Village pack (a two-story inn would be very useful); a Dwarven stronghold; and an Orc or Goblin stronghold.

I absolutely recommend giving C&C a try. Game play is significantly speeded up by removing all the wargame-ish/tactical rules such as Attacks of Opportunity. The Siege Engine task resolution system streamlines ability checks and saving throws, eliminating the need for a clunky skill/feat system, and the character classes are well balanced.

As mentioned, it is simple to port in anything from any edition of D&D, giving the CK a vast wealth of resources to draw from. And the simplicity of the rules allow for on-the-fly game mastering; something not easy to do in the current edition of D&D.
