Question about the salt mines

rpotor Mar 18, 2011, 12:24 AM

Okay, dumb question about a certain section of the salt mines.

Spoiler:

I have some trouble picturing area C5 - The Crusher inside the Fzumi Salt Mines. I read the description several times but I just can't picture it in my mind's eye :-) and just can't imagine how it would work. I admit though that I have no engineering or salt mining skills in real life. :-) I tried searching Google for a picture of such a device, but I had no luck there either. So if anyone could direct me to a picture of what it should look like or could describe me in more detail how it's supposed to work and look like I'd be one happy DM. :-)

Distance between Falcon's Hollow and Sandpoint?

Hi Everyone,

I hope someone in the know might be able to answer this question. On Saturday this week I'll have a campaign to start and I was planning on starting it with the first Pathfinder module of course. :-) Anyway since the pdf is not up yet, I think I might need to initiate Plan B, which would be the running of the adventure D0 Hollow's Last Hope (actually it also happens to be my last hope of successfully starting the campaign). So I was thinking along the lines of running this adventure and then send the PCs to Sandpoint. However some information would be nice to have on the distance between Sandpoint and Falcon's Hollow. Are these two locations a world apart or not too far to each other? That would be an important tidbit to know because if they are very far, I'd need to devise some unconventional method of travel like accidentally falling into a gate, flying there on the back of a black dragon, while the PCs are miniaturized so the dragon doesn't notice them or somesuch. But if the two communities are closer, a simple merchant caravan might also do the trick. So if anyone has insights into this, please don't hold it back. :-)

Digital Dungeon and / or Dragon

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure that I'm posting this in the right place but this forum seemed to be most fitting for my question.

There are some web-based services where you can (for a certain fee of course) download various magazines in a digital version and read on your computer an exact copy of the actual printed magazine. There is also an option to subscribe to the digital version. I'm not sure if mentioning the name of such a service constitutes as some kind of advertisement, so I'm not going to name it. Anyway I think this is a very convenient method of subscribing to a magazine, you miss nothing because the digital copy is absolutely the same as the paper one, there is no chance of your copy getting lost in the mail or anything.

So, my question would be: is the Paizo staff considering in the near or not so near future to issue Dungeon and/or Dragon magazines in a digital format like I described above?

Thanks for any responses and I do apologize if this kind of topic has already been discussed anywhere on these boards before.
