One thing I wish we'd seen was beyond Mike's control.

And it would likely have been Valeros, since he seems to be the art butt monkey.

Fan art, anybody? :D

OH HAI VAMPIRELLA

I can sort of see the resemblance but the differences stand out to me more:

Sorshen's hair: a bit curtained and feathered compared to Vampirella's straight hime cut.

Sorshen's bust: her cup size looks rather small for all the talk of being voluptuous, and is certainly smaller than Vampirella's.

Sorshen's robe: while Sorshen has more inspired fashion sense, her drape-y top hides rather accents her curves.

Pathfinder's Journal: Light of a Distant Star Reveiw Part 2

Light of a Distant Star Part 2: New Professions
Our heroine, Taldara has reunited with old friends. Yet she questions her choices. Is she a thief or is she a scholar? Could she be both? This tale is written in First person, past tense.

In this installment, we learn more of her current assignment from the Pathfinder Society. She also is working for Sheila Heidmarch. She is translating a dying dwarf's library while investigating to find out if he has a journal that the Society wants. Since Taldara is half-elven, she and the dwarf get along less-than-swimmingly.

This episode was full of tension. Taldara is still trying to find herself and this conflict extends to her actions. The conflict of scholar vs. thief especially is apparent. The beardless dwarf shifts from pitiable to sinister without even being present, though much of this is due to Taldara's perceptions. Mystery abounds in this episode. What is this box with the ten-armed, Sihedron-like star on it? Why does it draw Taldara so strongly?

It will be interesting to see how these elements develop.

I've found if you take too long between opening up the review panel to type a review and clicking "Submit" it times out. Just copy paste the review before you hit submit, or hit back on your browser to get it back.

I thought that was it myself, first thing I tried. Nope, it just wouldn't accept the submission. But it's fixed now, so, as someone who has been a helpdesk guy, pffft, computers!

I just read this one at a bookstore and I really do like the strange bit where

That's what makes it fun. It's also part of what TTRPGs have over video games.

The parties thief...has died 5 times since 1st level...has been a male

dwarf, a kobold of undetermined gender (due to a VERY short career),

a 9 foot 10 inch male oriental half ogre, a female wood elf...used

girdle of gender change to regain his manhood, and then blew a save

versus "The Trap"...

Her first words...after several choice curses..."I'm in a clone of the

rune lord of lust? Great...now I'm a ****" You can fill in the last

word on your own.

Moral for the day...prepay for your raises and resurrection, and don't

let the group get a handy druid/mage tocast reincarnation on the cheap.

This is in my 1st edition campaign...running since 1978!
