How about multi-classing the Fighter and the Wizard (or Sorcerer)?

They are writing awesome adventure paths.

So what? That does´t really fix the the issue that the Pathfinder lacks on the problem i just stated.

Dude, his next two words were "seriously though."

The map is also missing an equator.

Actually, your list also reminded me (this is meant in a complimentary fashion) of the 'Awaken Minions' card from the Middle Earth: The Wizards CCG, which had the following quote on it from Lord of the Rings: "...here the Dark Power, moving its armies like pieces on a board, was gathering them together."

Yeah, ummmm, I was thinking of that too. ;)

Me too. In fact, I want a sidebar on sidebars.

The best part about having Ed and Elaine interested and working on something now is they have their feet wet for if/when there is fiction.

Also, they have legions of fans that may follow. :)

My groups have never used Favored Classes or Multi-class restrictions. We just simply ignore those rules. Works out fine. So it's neither here nor there if PRPG has those rules or not: Either way we are not going to use them.

These sound great, Nick! I can't wait to read them.

Krenshar.

But... But.. I pit a krenshar against my nephew and it freaked him out! He was scared of that thing.

In one of the Tome of Horrors or Creature Collections (I don't remember which), there is a creature called the Jungle Squid. The picture shows it sitting in a tree, ready to nab unaware passersby with its tentacles. CR 16.

Edit: I don't mean to disparage those books. I love them. All of them. But c'mon! Jungle Squid? Shudders

Am I the only one who finds the I'm not pro or con 4 I'm pro pathfinder, and the their is no reason why both games (4th and pathfinder) can't thrive in the same space more than a little disingenious?

If your not for it, your not for it, that's what con is generally used for

You CAN be neither for nor against something. It's called neutrality. Being neutral does NOT mean that you are against something. That's why they call it neutrality.

But, hey, Paizo-guys? Can we have just a little bit fewer Outsiders in the future?

...and fewer undead?

I don't get it. Fill me in?

At work today, I couldn't stop thinking about "sparp." All. Day. Long. It's gone to my head. No matter what I was doing today, I was thinking, "Sparp." "Sparp." "Sparp." "Sparpen my claws."

Sharoth, I apologize for giving you a bad time about your typo. It's not good internet manners..... But it was such a good typo!! You should be proud of that one!

Oh Lord, I'm losing it.

Sparp.

P.S. I also like the idea of having Kenkus being the gypsies of a campaign setting-- wandering around in wagons, telling fortunes, etc.-- but Pathfinder already has that covered.

I love new races! I plan to add quite a few to my Pathfinder games. When it's all said and done, I'll probably have over 30 playable races. If that sounds like too many to you, please realize that I am not letting them in until I have a good understanding of how they fit into the world of Golarion. Also, I want the bad-guy races to remain bad-guys, so I won't be letting many of those in.

I'd like to post the entire list that's up for consideration, but I'm afraid of getting a negative reaction from the boarders when they see what I've got planned. (Mwahahahaha!!) I will post the list (and my renegade concept) later on when I've got things more set in stone.

That said, here a few favorites of mine that I'd like to see used more often:

Kenkus! I love these crow/raven-people. I imagine them being like pigeons in the sense that you see tons of them in any big city in the world, but not in the country. They'd be a nuisance race. Thieves. Beggars. Obnoxious merchants of worthless trinkets that won't take no for an answer.

Ibixians! The Goatfolk from MM3. I see them as the inheritor race of the dwarves. The dwarves are dying out and they know it, so they are prepping the ibixians as their heirs on Golarion. They are moving into many of the abandoned dwarven ruins to further the dwarven culture there.

Silverbacks! Awakened gorillas is something I've been cooking up for years, and planned on implementing into my Pathfinder campaign, and then BAM! Paizo did it for me! They are even calling them silverbacks. But they made them bad-guys-- which is cool-- and I don't want to take that away, so I found another niche for them. It's quite the backstory, so I will have to reveal it later, but I'm pretty excited by it.

Alright, that's all for now. I'm going to do full write-ups on these guys (and more!). I will probably post them to the boards.

Gnome catgirl ninja schoolgirls. With pigtails. Riding dragons.

Normally I would protest and say that someone can't be a catgirl, and a schoolgirl . . . but ya know Mike, you make it work. ;)

I take it you've never heard of All Purpose Cultural Cat-Girl Nuku Nuku?

I guess Mike designs the schoolgirls, and Nick the new demons (the many-hentacled variety, and no, that's no typo)

Zootcat goes off to sparpen his hentacles

I like it! Good cover! May I make a suggestion that may improve the look? Pull back the "camera" so the illo doesn't spill off the page so much. It seems that there's more to the picture that I'm not seeing. Okay, there may not be more to reveal, but pulling back the camera would alleviate that sense of "where's the rest of the picture?" If you did that, then I would feel like I was looking at the whole scene.

I totally understand if you disagree. Either way you do it, it's a great cover, I can't wait til I'm holding it in my paws.

Trent

Catgirl ninja! I can't wait! I think I just coughed up a hairball.

Goes off you sparpen his claws even sparper than they already are.

You're doing a great job, Jason. Keep it up!

Just want to add that I live about 45 minutes North of P-town and I visit Bridgetown and Powell's a lot. I don't know about Rainy Day Games, though, I'll have to check it out.

GRRRRRRRRRRR....... ~starts to sparpen my claws~

My claws are already sparp.

Edit: Also, what Zootcat said.

Does that mean I'm hired? I can start on Monday.

To add another question about Deities, I've noticed there doesn't seem and ranks among them. What I mean is, none seem to be labled as Greater, Intermediate, Lesser, or Demi.

Was this intentional?

There ARE demigods. The main difference betweens them and gods is that the demigods have stat blocks whereas the gods do not. The latest Pathfinder (#9) has a stat block for a demigod in the Bestiary.

I don't cuss. I have a very clean mouth. But when I saw the announcement, I got so excited I said, "S%@@!"

I was wondering about this stuff, too. Where do you get a book bound?

If myself and Snorter seem a little behind the times, remember... We are still playing tabletop rpg's! ;)

I am also missing my Gazetteer. Order #935227

We appreciate you too Daigle. Thanks for donating a copy of GM Gems to the prizes at Paizocon! You and the others did a great job on that book.

I'm so happy.

Wait, does this mean that RAS is writing something for Paizo? Could it be?

Probably a contribution to the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting

5) Slavery is indeed illegal in Korvosa. more to the point, PUBLIC slavery is illegal.

Not unlike what happens today in many Western nations who would most likely consider themselves Good. Illegal immigrants are frequently duped by smugglers and forced to live and work in appalling conditions until they can pay off their passage, which, like indentured servants of old, is never. Large Western cities are frequently the site of locked factories full of virtual slaves and the underground practice of sex slavery (typically of Easter European and Southeast Asian women) is frighteningly common. Several cases have come to light recently of wealthy immigrants who have sent home for domestic servant and kept these poor folk locked in and abused. Governments declare these practices illegal and might even make an effort to stop them, but slavery CAN exist in "Good" nations.

Indeed. I've recently read an article about modern day slavery. It said that there are more slaves in the world today (including the U.S.) than in the entire 400-year history of the Atlantic slave trade.

Welcome aboard, Arda Badgerhill.

I agree. Totally worth it. If fact, you might want get more than one, as this if perfect for passing out to your players. It's a great overview of the worth.

Trent [the other one]

Russ's game was a lot of fun. He took an adventure that he had originally written for Greyhawk and adapted it for Golarion. He said that it wasn't hard to do. I enjoyed seeing Pathfinder redcaps in there. And even though we didn't exactly complete our objective, I enjoyed the outcome. Something about seeing a guy get get his brain fried right before you get to him, and then realizing he'll never be the same again is somehow... satisfying. That sounds crazy! I mean it in the sense of a satisfying plot twist at the end of a story that says "Gotcha!"

I played a dwarven fighter. I used the new Backswing feat A LOT. It's very effective.

Thanks for running that game for us Russ!

Trent

Sweet! I can't wait, Christine. I'm really looking forward to the finished product. Your proposal rocked!

Trent

Edit: And so did all you other entries.

Not unlike my "questions for Industry panel" written on the back of an envelope. Hooray for improvisation!

And you did a great job, too, Lilith! You had a lot of good questions. Thanks for doing that for us.

Sounds like a cozy little con with lots of fun interaction between everybody!

Indeed! For every three attendees, there was one Paizid. So there was a lot of face time with the pros. It was a great experience!

Erik,
Not necessarily for Planet Stories publication, but what musty, old, hard-to-find books would you buy if you found them sitting unforgotten on the self in a hidden used book store?

What got me thinking about this was this: The day before Paizocon, I found an old Tarzan paperback written by Fritz Leiber. That would be a priceless gem to SOMEBODY. I told some fellow attendees about it the day AFTER Paizocon. Someone said, I bet Erik Mona would like that. And I went, "D'oh! I should've got it for him!"

Erik, with your network of fans, you might find those rare books that you just can't seem to locate. So post your wishlist here! I be happy if I found one of your missing treasures for you.

Trent

PS James Sutter or any other Paizid, feel free to post a wishlist, too.

I was thinking about releasing this, but considering my current writing schedule, it might take me a while./QUOTE]

Jason showed me his adventure at Paizocon. It was one page on a notepad that he [I think] wrote up during the second panel.

Thanks, for the report, Pete! I was wanting to do something similar, but you did it better than I would have.

But let's not forget the prizes! There were enough to go around so that every attendee got something.

I won a copy of the print eddition of Kobold Quarterly #4 [Donated by Wolfgang Baur. Micro Review: It rocks!] & a Dungeon Magazine poster signed by Wayne Reynolds. I think 8 of us attendees got that.

Other lucky attendees won:
GM Gems from Goodman Games and the WereCabbages. Donated by Daigle.
Key Largo boardgame.
Stonehenge boardgame AND it's expansion.
A complete set of the Planet Stories line.
The Secrets of Pact Magic. Written and donated by Dario Nardi.
A print copy of The Kobold's Guide to Game Design. Donated by Wolfgang Baur.
The Pathfinder Chronicles Gazetteer
The black & white Pathfinder Goblin T-shirt. I think 3 attendees won this one.
A complete set of Item cards. Not sure which set.
A handmade giant miniature of a runegiant. Crafted and donated by Lilith.

I'm doing this from memory and I can't remember everything. Was there a Kill Doctor Lucky boardgame in there? I think there was. Maybe the rest of you can help me out here. Sound off and tell us what you won! (Wether I already mentioned it or not.)

Also, every attendee recieved three packs of Hero's Hoard Item Cards

Thanks to everyone for the generous gifts!

Trent

I also want to add my thanks to everyone.

Thanks to all the Paizo peeps for showing up, answering questions and running games. That really, really, really meant a lot to all of us that attended.

Thanks to Tim, Lilith and Takasi for slamming this baby together. And to everyone who donated prizes.

Thanks to Chris for splitting the cost of a room with me.

Even though I didn't get a chance to talk to you guys, thanks to Steven and Rodney from WotC for showing up. I apologize for my "If you've ever rolled a craft check, then you are not having any fun" comment. Lol. I don't have any ill will toward WotC or anyone there. :)

And thanks to all the attendees for being lots of fun and really cool to hang out with.

And thanks to Burgermaster for making a Tom & Jerry milkshake.

Trent

Thanks to Trent, who managed to haul his posterior out of bed at 6:00 this morning to get me to the airport, and actually managed to provide a nice narrative travelogue of the Seattle area while driving.

You're welcome, Chris! The pleasure was all mine. I hope to see you again next year!

Cowabunga!

When looking at the 3.5 Ranger I'm left wondering - what does my party gain from having a Ranger on board?

A player who's having a lot of fun playing the concept.

... the strippers are reserved for when Jason completes the final version of the rules. ;)

And no doubt, SirUrza, you'll have the strippers dressed as Seoni.

Julia Ormond

Legends of the Fall

Vattnisse-- Sorry, I didn't mean to steal Nick Nolte from you. I swear your post wasn't there when I posted. LOL.

My reaction was dissapointment. I felt like 4e was coming 5 years too soon.

Thanks, Paizo! You've made the ol' d20 exciting again.

Ok, Pathfinder fiction is inevitable.

Thank you, Erik!
