What other monsters should be "revisited"?

The Scarecrow Golem Final avatar

Mummies and Vampires will prolly be covered in "Classic Horrors Revisited" but how about a book covering the other "intelligent" undead: liches, wights, ghouls, wraiths, etc? "Classic Undead Revisited", anyone?

Any updates on these? The store still says "June Pre-Order" and we're now into September.

Not trying to be pushy. Just curious.

Would it be possible to have a Pathfinder Dice Subscription?

Some of us Necro-boarders are now exploring other options to draw the demon lord's favor. We were considering a virgin sacrifice but have had a great deal of difficulty acquiring a suitable virgin... and despite the good intentions behind my suggestion, I have been informed that a "new-in-box" inflatable love doll is NOT an acceptable substitute.

Seriously though, that would be pretty freakin' cool. "Ravenloft" done Pathfinder style in a six part Adventure Path.

Pathfinder for kids (4th Graders or so)?

There's also "Into the Haunted Forest" that would work fairly well for younger kids. It's based in the Arthell Forest which is also in Darkmoon Vale so you could work it into a Falcon's Hollow campaign or even use it as a starting point for one.

Best of all, it's only $5.00.

I think it is obvious, we need to see Orcus' place defined in the Pathfinder setting.

According to the "Demon Lords of Golarian" chapter in "Descent into Midnight", Orcus doesn't have much of a place in the PF setting.

Orcus MAKING a place for himself in the PF setting would make for a pretty cool AP though. (hin, hint)

PC: Guide to Kaer Maga?
sykoholic,

The Scarecrow Golem Final avatar

This might seem like something of a no-brainer but there needs to be some discussion about the government. In such a "wretched hive of scum and villany", who actually rules? Does anyone rule? Is the ruling power a single individual or a council of some sort, possibly made up of the major crimelords and cult leaders? Is their rule absolute? Are they a puppet of some faction or organization?

Who, if anyone, is in control in Kaer Maga?

How about the other companies

Goodman Games is lost to 4E


Not necessarily. A publisher can support 4E and other systems but not with the same brand/product line. So while the "Dungeon Crawl Classics" line may be lost to 4E, Goodman is still free to create a new line/brand and support Pathfinder through it. Whether or not they actually do this remains to be seen.

*edit*
Note: That is my understanding of the GSL anyways. I could very easily have it all wrong.

Side Trek for Burnt Offerings, anyone?
sykoholic,

The Scarecrow Golem Final avatar

Uhm... maybe I'm not understanding things but the question of "who was killed" is throwing me off. If they don't know who was killed, how do they know anybody actually was killed?

Or do you mean the deceased is a complete stranger that nobody knows or can identify?

GameMastery and Necromancer Games

To my understanding, Clark doesn't want to do more 3.5 products due to lack of interest in 3.5 from distributors and retailers. Paizo, however, doesn't seem to have such problems with their 3.5 products. I was just thinking that if these 3.5 adventures were released as part of an established and recognized Paizo brand (ie: GameMastery) then distributors and retailers WOULD be interested in them and thus Clark would be more inclined to publish them rather than sitting on them while playing the "waiting game" with the GSL.

GameMastery and Necromancer Games
sykoholic,

The Scarecrow Golem Final avatar

When 4E was announced, the market for 3.5 products died almost immediately as distributors and retailers no longer wanted products for an "obsolete" game. At that time, Necromancer has three adventures ready for printing but had to cancel them. These adventures are now collecting dust as Necromancer waits for an acceptable revision of the GSL.

Would it be possible for Paizo to release these "lost" Necromancer adventures through the "Game Mastery" line and turn the line into something similar to what White Wolf did with "Sword & Sorcery Studios"?

The Game Mastery line presently consists of "neutral" accessories. Paizo could publish Necromancer's 3.5 adventures under a "re-created" Game Mastery Adventures line. This way, Necromancer could continue to produce 3.x material but under Paizo's label which distributors and retailers would recognize and want. Since these adventures would be Game Mastery products rather than Pathfinder products, a license wouldn't be needed (beyond the OGL) and the adventures wouldn't be linked to the Pathfinder setting and thus remain setting neutral, like all of NG's adventures.

Currently, GameMastery products seem to be few and far between. I don't see why Paizo couldn't slip one of Necromancer's 3.5 adventure into the production/release schedule every once in a while. Paizo already intends to do Necromancer Games' 4E products which, in accordance with the GSL, will require an entirely new product line to be created. Why not just use an existing product line to make new Necromancer 3E products as well?

Of course, its probably not that simple and there's probably more involved than I'm aware of but it's just sorta my own personal theory/thought/idea of how Necromancer could get out of "idle" and back into action.

My wallet seems to have taken a liking to the abuse. The mere mention of Paizo will send it into a fit of screaming "Whip me! Beat me! It hurts so good!". It can be rather embarassing when it happens in public.

Nope. It's just that, now that the Axebeak, Giant Slug, and the Leucrotta were included in the list, the thread changed from "Classic Monsters not in the 4E MM" to "Personal favorite monsters not in the 4E MM".

I guess its a matter of personal definition regarding the term "classic". Obviously, not everyone is going to agree on what is a "classic" and what is not.

There are no Bombardier, Boring, Rhinoceros, Stag, or Water Beetles. There is a Fire Beetle but its nothing like the "classic" Fire Beetle.

I don't recall seeing a Giant Centipede either which I find odd considering the card for the Dungeon of Dread mini had 4E stats

Also missing are:

Axe Beak
Centaur
Cockatrice (yet there's a mini for it in the upcoming set)
Ghast
Giant Frog
Giant Slug
Giant Wasp
Leucrotta
Mimic
Sabre-tooth Tiger
Winter Wolf

Preparing the Next Generation of Gamers

I have the extreme privledge of having been asked by my 11 year old nephew-by-association to teach him to game. All he really knows about gaming is Uncle Gary (that would be me) does it therefor it MUST be cool. :D

I've decided to start him out with HeroQuest so he can get used to the idea of there being a GameMaster and the players working together rather than competing with each other.

From there, I'm going to use the 3E Revised Basic Game and a number of the 2E Adventure Packs such as "Goblin's Lair" and "Haunted Tower". Once he's comfortable with more complicated play, I'll introduce him to "Castle & Crusades".

Teach him to game and help me work on my parenting/teaching skills... sounds like a winner to me. The fact that he'll worship the ground I walk on is an added bonus ;)

Pick and Choose Subscription?

My apologies if this is in the wrong forum and if it has been asked before-

Is it possible to pick and choose which items to buy/recieve in a subscription? I'd like to subscribe to Pathfinder Chronicles but am really not interested in the accessories like the card decks and map folios. I am only interested in the books.

So... is there such thing as a "books only" subscription?

I'm still confused as to why the financial stability of GenCon Inc has anything to do with WotC's participation. If anything, the additional income that would be generated from WotC's involvement and fees would help them with the Chapter 11. I may not have all the facts, but the whole situation seems a little fishy.

Two theories:

1) WotC could be one of the debtors to whom GenCon LLC owes money.

2) GenCon LLC is also being sued by LucasFilms. WotC has a license from LucasFilms to use the Star Wars IP. WotC attending an event held by an organization that LucasFilms is suing might be considered a "conflict of interests". In other words, its more important for WotC to kiss George's butt than it is for them to hang out with the fans.
