I am trying to get resources together for the new AP, but haven't found a good miniature ship for the adventure (or a few styles for different ships) that I could use for the characters and wanted to find something cool looking ... any ideas?

I'm looking for minis or maps to use to make a mini of the ships we're going to use from rowboats to a ship of the line

I am trying to get resources together for the new AP, but haven't found a good miniature ship for the adventure (or a few styles for different ships) that I could use for the characters and wanted to find something cool looking ... any ideas?

All these posts have me salivating waiting for Paizo's shipping department, I just ordered them yesterday. Don't know if I want to run Savage Tide or play in it ... what to do?

I look forward to playing with all the vicissitudes of my characters. Currently, I am playing a one character who is suffering from mild depression (my party hasn’t totally picked up on it yet) that has almost killed me by running into the lair of a half-dragon with reckless abandon and at other times seeming detached from what is going on. He is also becoming obsessed with destroying undead and necromancers after loosing his father years earlier.
My other character is dealing with being a wizard and struggling to find a purpose after studying at the academy. I intend to introduce him to a prestige class that will require him to give up his aimless wandering, but in the meantime the group he travels with is just a convenience.
I realize neither flaw is a physical problem, but both the slacker and the depressed character are making me work harder to accomplish things and contribute to each group. And it's cool to not have some hero complex to play but be more "real".

What scares me is something similar to what happens in my group ... we all sit around thinking out loud and working through a problem with wild ideas.
Ususally these ideas are worse than the actual scenario, until our DM gets one of them and "wings it" making our day a whole lot more difficult.
Personally, I think the team here at Paizo won't need our help making this a tough Adventure Path ... but here we go making our day worse!

I want to start by thanking all of you for your posts ... I'm at work right now ROTFL and my co-workers believe I've lost my mind.
I was afraid I was the only one talking to dice, ignoring the recalcitrant ones that typically roll poorly and fearing the d20 from my mini pack, but now I know better.
Now I know that the evil dice gods (a group of worthless, filty gnomes) not only disfavor me, but also the lot of us! Ha! Take that gnomes of ill repute! (ok, back to work ... time for more medicine ... maybe the lithium!) Maybe I need to talk to that therapist after all, but now I have proof!

Gotta say, need flying airships ... would be cool and arial combat would be cool among ships of the line.

I find that when I look back over a list of heroes ... wow! I’ve got to include Aragorn from LOTR, Odysseus and Pericles from Greek Mythology, Arthur and his knights, James Kirk (sorry used to get the reruns on TV from a station in Toronto as a kid), the Olmsfords from Terry Brooks Shannara series, and a host of other characters from stories.
What I’ve noticed is that each hero is struggling with some inner conflict or limitation that makes them human and inspires the people around them. Probably the idea of flawed heroes and heroines reminds me to go beyond what I’m capable of in real life … who knows!

Maybe, if we're lucky the Savage Tide will be a tide of Drow from the underdark sweeping out into the Great City (insert Greyhawk or Waterdeep or some other appropriate choice here) and threatening to steal everyone's supply of ale ... so as to force the characters to go into the underdark ...
Because we all know that one hasn't been done before!

** You know the funny thing about this post is how much crap I'm going to get from my group on Thursday's. **

My first recollection is as a 12 year old playing with a friend who had purchased the Expert set (no basic set for us) and enticed me to play with his brother, and one of my brothers as we came ashore on the Isle of Dread (EX 1 I believe). I was a Elf and we washed ashore on a small island that was full of monsters ... I think he has a monster on every 10' section of the island. He became something of a Monty Haul DM and had allowed my younger brother (a Fighter) to use a grappling hook and rope to effect as a ranged weapon ... so somehow we weren't rushed by this horde of goblins, apes and other monsters and cleared the island. Even with that horrible start, I was hooked. Within a year there were a group of 7 or 8 of us playing marathon sessions from the 1st Edition over the summers (and on some schoolyear weekends) to such great adventures as the Giant series, the Ghost Tower of Inverness, the Tomb of Horrors (personally lost 3 characters in there), many of our own home brews and more that I'm sure I've forgotten. I found a niche in our groups with Rangers and Clerics, and remember a friend who had to play a ninja early on.
I still have some of those dice, have upgraded to 3.5 and moved to a new part of the country. I hear crap from a couple of younger players (by this I mean a couple years at most) about being "old" because their recollections only go back to 2nd edition ... but my favorite memories are still of adventuring with my childhood friends
