anybody?

can anyone recommend a good king arthur book? i'm intrigued by the once and future king, because i've heard it's similar to a certain epic fantasy series by george rr martin.

anybody?

i just watched this, and discovered that writer/director matt vancil has something in common with george lucas and james cameron: he seems to have forgotten that elaborate special effects are no substitute for mediocre writing and acting.

seriously, most of the characters (the sorcerer, the bard, and especially the monk) were obnoxious and unlikable.

the woman with the spear was pretty cool, though.

does taking a dump provoke an attack of opportunity?

yes, because it's a kind of movement.

*rimshot*

the things i think about when i'm bored at work...

has anyone written any material that fills in the gaps in the maure story/dungeon/saga?

since we're unlikely to ever see official material, i'd love to see unofficial material, whether it's additional levels of the dungeon, information on the castle above, or the parts of the story behind the maure family's demise that remain a mystery (but have been partially deciphered on these boards).

c'mon, people! let's put our collective creativities to work and put some sort of cherry on top of this incomplete masterpiece! :-)

a few questions about resurrecting my baldur's gate addiction:

there seem to be two options for combining the baldur's gate games into a single huge game: tutu and weidu's bg trilogy. what are the pros and cons of each?

can they be used together?

are they buggy?

can other add-ons, such as "unfinished business" and additional romances be used with them?

will gatekeeper and shadowkeeper work with the above choices? since gatekeeper is for bg1 and shadowkeeper is for bg2, which should be used with each option?

what else should i know before resurrecting my addiction?

thanks!

apologies if i've missed something obvious, but have any of the pathfinder bbegs been a dragon?

if not, one should be soon. :-)

hi lisa :-)

i emailed my miniatures spreadsheet (from here: http://paizo.com/paizo/about/minis) six weeks ago and haven't heard back yet. it's no rush, i just want to make sure you haven't forgotten about me. :-)

who built the first three levels (great hall, tomorast's hold, kerzit's fane) of maure castle? it's clear that these aren't part of the dungeons directly underneath maure castle, so who built them? eli tomorast?

what are the chances of you guys ever doing the complete maure castle as an adventure path? :-)

apologies if this has been asked before.

i'm a little disappointed that the only picture(s) that i can find of adimarchus are the small and fuzzy ones in dungeon magazine. are there any larger pictures of him anywhere?

i'm confused about the price of this wonderful miniature.

judging by the comments by dj-chuckles and paizo, i get the impression that the 14.95 price includes shipping. but when i add the mini to my shopping cart, it adds 3.80 for usps standard mail.

what's the deal? does the 14.95 include shipping or not?

it would seem that the "cr" column is missing from the "a weakened prince" sidebar in the last adventure.

what are the modified challenge ratings for demogorgon? i would assume that they are reduced from 33 by a number equal to the number of negative levels he receives, but you know what they say about assuming...

i just finished reading the STAP, and wow, malcanthet is disgusting! and that is the "least scandalous version?" yikes!

hehe :-)

i'm almost finished reading through the STAP for the first time, and i'm really enjoying it. you guys did an outstanding job :-)

one thing that i'm struck by is the multitude of very difficult diplomacy checks needed along the way.

example: the dc 50 check needed when speaking with orcus. if the party fails, their champion must face a dc 22 battle alone! harsh!

i guess it makes sense in the storyline (orcus shouldn't be easy to convince to help against demogorgon... or anytime else). but a party without a specialized diplomat could be screwed. was this intentional?

why are some of these miniatures so blasted expensive?? this wizard doesn't seem remarkable in any way (size, etc.). so why is he $16.00??

two questions:

how did kyuss become imprisoned?
why did dragotha steal the black stone trapezoid (seen in vision 2 in "the spire of long shadows")?

thank you :-)

for the final issue of dungeon magazine, make it another 4-level maure castle spectacular!!!

if i'm not mistaken, uncle has 4 more levels done (reliquary, outer sanctum, family crypts, and warlock's walk), and hey, if you've got to end dungeon, might as well go out with a bang, right? and remember, dungeon #112 (the other all-maure issue) sold very well.

good idea, right? ;-)

i would like my pathfinders shipped in a box, but when i choose "ups ground" and click "select," it changes it back to "usps package service."

help!

i am VERY glad that you chose to update maure castle instead of expedition to the barrier peaks. ettbp doesn't interest me at all, and i am very very happy with the maure castle levels printed so far.

thank you, dungeon staff! you guys rock :-)
