It's about time we had another film like 'The Untouchables'. I've got two platinum on Sean Peen for the Oscar.
Also Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the most obscure Batman supporting character ever.
Liz is just AWESOME as awesome gets! Gninja Awesome! Thanks Liz!
Ok my fellow Paizonians, I posted a link to some old school products available at the Paizo store to a site a frequent. One of the posters, taking a completely different direction and who was already very unruly prevoisly decided to say some rather disparaging and completely mistaken coments about Paizo. This is NOT, I repeat NOT an edition war!!! I was going to leave this all well alone ... But no, this guy has done this before. And he says it with enough false authority that I want him to get a little whiff of the fire power of a fully armed and operational Paizo message board. So here is the link under the spoiler tag. Spoiler:
I ask that those who post a response to PLEASE NOT start a flame war on that site, nor start one here. No talk of editions should be made. That site is very near and dear to my Grognard heart. But put that whelp in his place, and defend the honor of the Purple Golem.
Dear Wes, a little bit ago, you and James Sutter had a short but memorably dark little adventure in Dungeon 128 called 'Shut In'. Do you have any suggestions on where to place this mini adventure in the backdrop of Ustalav? Bonus points if you have suggestions on how to incorporate this adventure in Carrion Crown or even as a pre Carrion Crown adventure where Prof. Petros Lorrimor actually takes part in it with the players. As always, thanks for your help and coming up with such a fine adventure to begin with.
I don't play 4th Ed but Cryonax, Prince of Elemental Cold, possible son of Elder Thrazidun, is looking good since his days in 1st Ed's original Fiend Folio. He's definitely been working out.
While I visited home over the holidays I went into my large walk in closet filled with two decades of gaming material. I drew forth a special case that had two used but very near perfectly mint Tarokka decks. I took one back with me for use, so after years of laying in wait, I plan on setting these cards on the gaming table once again. Now here's the question(s): How would the Tarokka deck fit in with Golarion, a world that already has the fabled Harrow deck? What history would you give the Tarokka for Golarion? Are the two decks distinct sides of the same fortune seeing 'coin'? Do adherents of the Harrow disdain those who use the Tarokka? Bonus question: How would you use the Tarokka deck in Carrion Crown, even as a Easter egg or a 'cameo'?
I just saw this, I fly in late to New York tomorrow, this may be worth checking out. Thursday sounds even better.

The real measure of civilization in any society can be found in the way it treats its most unfortunate citizens - its prisoners. As you can well see.
I know that there are several players in the NYC area that would love Pathfinder Society characters to advance past 12th level for sanctioned module play. I am not sure if these steps are ideal for PFS play BUT having stated that I am quite happy that this topic is being addressed. You guys are obviously on top of things. ;) We have 13 players who completed The Eyes of the Ten arc so I'll be linking this with our groups' muster and keeping an eye on it. Thanks Mike!
Alright, since The Old Republic blasts off this week and since I'm quite surprised no one has formed one yet, shall we start the Hoth snow ball rolling? Would some one like to nominate a name or three? I am partial to a few names myself such a "The Whills," but lets nominate some more. What types of servers whould you guys want to go on? I am partial to RPvE in the beginning at least. Shall we play both sides of the conflict and if so which Side should we start out with. Should we ask Lisa Stevens or Vic Wertz to be our honourary Guild Lords?
Gentlemen this question may be a little dated considering the time frame of developent for the APs but just in case you still recall the intial intent of the rules in the players guide I wanted to ask this here: In the Carrion Crown players guide there is a variant Harrow point/Hero point option given. Using this system as intended each player draws a card at the start of the campaign and draws a new card at the completion of each adventure in the campaign. The guide further states that 'in addition to the cards automatically gained through progressing in the Adventure Path, the party will have the opportunity to obtain additional, specific cards by achieving certain plot goals in each adventure.' The cards are 'The Crows, The Eclipse, The Hidden Truth, The Marriage, The Survivor, and The Uprising.' Each of these cards have unique effects when played. Reading through the various adventures in the AP, when these specific cards are mentioned they are accompanied by this type of phrase: 'If the PCs {fufill this plot goal} award each player a free draw from the Harrow deck as outlined in the players guide'. That statement is the followed by: If you are using the other optional system presented in the guide, the entire party receives {specific card} instead. Is it correct for me to conclude that: The special cards listed are given to the players in addition to the cards drawn at the end of each adventure or do these special cards replace the drawn cards istead? I am inclined to follow the former but the wording of 'award each player a free draw from the Harrow deck as outlined in the players guide' followed by 'if you are using the other optional system presented in the guide, the entire party receives {specific card} instead ' threw me a little off. Also, if the PCs instead opted for a free draw from the Harrow deck, would you allow it? (Although each card can only be drawn once, a party of 6 would ran out of cards by the fifth installment of the AP). Thanks as always.
Oerth Journal #26 is finally out ! Kudos to Erik Mona, Greg A. Vaughan, the other contributors and of course Mike "Mortellan" Bridges for getting this bit of Greyhawkery out ! An early Halloween treat! Noel
The Very Model of Modern Day Musical Minstrel Found by my friend and completely unhittable high level Halfling Fighter fellow PFS player Daniel Schultz.
Alright ye mighty who's works cause despair I need help, we're running four full tables at our weekly NYC PFS game tomorrow and I am got slotted for First Steps: In the Service to Lore (Yeah Adam Daigle!). I was not ready to run a first level character just yet (I was hoping to get one of my 12th Level PCs through the high level mods before I created a new pc) so I need an over the top character idea My current characters: Spoiler:
I have a level 12 Wizard/Diabolist, Signifier Untamo Arturos Emaneil I have a level 12 Evoker, Tasha of the Light Laughter, Great Grand Daughter to a certain Witch who owns a Hut with Chicken legs and a level 4 Alchemist, Doktor Tessla Oppenhiemer Mengele (Dr. Tom for short), the first Golarion fascist. All of the Celiax Faction of course. I want to play an Arcanist or a Ranger but again open to an over the top idea, here are the ones I have come up with as I was typing this message: 1. A Ranger who is descended from Cayden Cailean before he took the test of the Starstone.
He may be named: Robilar Tanis Do'Urden. 2. A Wizard who will quotes archaic events and artifacts and places from an unknown age, like "The Test of the Twins', remember the "Bringer of Doom during the Invoked Devastation" or "Is that a baatezu in your pants or are you just happy to see me?" I may name him Raistlin Elminster Mordenkainen. (The Mad Archmage REM for short, how old school sounding is that name?) 3. [your idea here]
Not counting three PFS delves I run and the Fantasy Flight X Wing game I tried out (FUUUN!) the only game I actually had time to play was Mr. Brandon Hodge's Civil War Cthulhu game. And since I had missed the boat the previous two years I was practically begging for Mr. Hodge to run it this year. It helped that a certain ne'er-do-well by the name of Greg Vaughan helped with the peer pressure and Mr. Hodge had to cave in to our pitiful pleas. I have already praised Mr. Hodge for his Civil War Cthulhu game at Gen Con, even at the 7 am mustering the 10th PFS slot and with no vocal chords available to me I could not stop raving about his session - and I will continue to rave at every chance I get in the future. The game Mr. Hodge ran was worth the three year wait; thank you very much again! From this day on forward whenever I catch a glimpse of a nubile woman bathing in a stream I will think of you. As for Mr. Greg A Vaughan, that darling boy scout of the Adventure Paths, of the all I can say is if after seeing the man play the part of a Confedarate Officer (a role he may very well have been born to play) - well between bouts of the enitre table slapping themselves silly with laughter (in a Cthulhu game!) and just staight out awe of him never breaking character (the SOB took my last four bullets for himself!!), I have been and always remain a steadfast Greg Vaughan fanboy; his portrayal at the table that night is the price of admission for next year's con! Even if I have to fly to Indy just to shake his hand again. And all of the above would have been at all possible if not for our grand host's ever charitable hospitality, Mr. Lou Agresta - who no matter how hard I try I always miss on the last day of the con. I owe you yet another one good sir. Alright, enough gushing, time for a Grognard's question regarding Hauntings: Mr. Hodge (or Mr. Vaughan, or Mr. Agresta or actually anyone who is familiar with the older AD&D rule set) - for my New Year's gaming resolution way back in during the Holidays (it was a topic on the blog), I promised I would run a 1st or 2nd Ed game in Golarion. I decided to run the first two installments of Carrion Crown using that rule set. Haunts in that game's editions could NOT be turned, and since chanelling posive energry is a PRPG inovation, can you give me any thoughts on how to handle Haunts in regards to and older editions Cleric turning attemps? ( I asked Mr. Hodge this question at Gen Con, and I even hit up Sean K Reynolds as he walked the PFS room, but since we had little time and beverages may have been in hand, I am posting this question again) Again, my thanks to all thos mentioned above, and I await next years late night sessions.
Gen Con was almost as exhausting as it was amazing and with Paizo's dual anniversary next year it promises to be even bigger!! But in the middle of winding down PFS Slot 8 and beginning the muster for slot 9 I was able to run my party in the Hamptons NY via blackberry and iphone. So while I may not be a 4 star GM, I can still multi task in several states at once. These people don't look like they even miss me. If they only knew how fun Indiana was ;)
