I am certainly not an expert on CRs, but you could probably just add class levels to some of the enemies (the intelligent ones) and raise the monsters to advanced templates to raise the difficulty to a proper level, instead of coming up with new enemies.

I understand there is no new mini game system in Shattered star. With the new streamline, does this mean that there will be no new mechanics from here on (or a return to previous new mechanics?) I gotta say, my players really enjoyed the Jade regent relationship scores and I know other players did as well. There has been a few mods with relationship type opprotunities and incentives which were a great addition. I'm sure you've been asked this a hundred times, so if someone wants to direct me to a link of a response, that works too.

So please don't shoot me if there is already a thread, but the search came up empty.

Two Questions:
1) Will the players guide hit before Gencon or during?
2) Any hints on if/what the new rule mechanic that might be featured in the players guide this time around?

There's not really any new rule mechanic. In fact, starting with Shattered Star, the players guides are going to be a lot more streamlined, mostly because that makes it less onerous on the staff to produce them and helps tremendously in the goal of keeping the Adventure Paths on schedule.

The Shattered Star Player's Guide will include the following:

Campaign traits
General advice on character building (such as good choices for favored enemies and the like)
An updated version of the Pathfinder Society faction from the Faction Guide.
An updated map of Heidmarch Manor in Magnimar.

And that, I believe, is it.

I'm cool with on time :)

Thanks for the note, so anytime this month it could show up in a random weekly blog post.

I do enjoy the subsystems where they are appropriate, a terror/horror system for CC would have been awesome. But on the other hand not every AP needs extra lairs of complexity to be awesome. It really is going to very a lot by group, I know our KM group gave up on the Kingdom Building aspect, or at least pushed it far to the back. For the lot of us day job desk jockies, it felt like game night was turning into a business meeting, and we had all had our fill of those during the 9-5.

So I've found that when I am playing my captain, I pretty much talk in the style of Captain Barbossa. It just kinda happened ;-) Does anyone else have this style of voice (or other recognizable styles)?

After much debate, we went with the Stirge.

Below is some Calculations I made about the end bosses in the sixth book (The Empty Throne). I would like to get some other ST opinions.

This has got to be the deadliest Paizo Adventure path I have ever played in. Every person playing in the campaign has had to make at 1 new character. One person had to make two.
