One thing I want to do eventually is to play a Dhampir ninja, but use the ninja powers to duplicate the vampire powers from myth and legend. The thought of playing someone as they slowly lose their humanity seems interesting. Perhaps the book of western-style ninja powers will have more to add to the concept?

The idea of ninja-powers-as-monster-abilities is an interesting one, and certainly something I think I could expand on.


Well, several of them already seem to fit quite closely, or need only a little casual reflavoring (but keeping the mechanics the same).

Gaining a climb speed and turning invisible are rather obvious. The shadow clones power fits in with the imagery from the Dracula movie with Gary Oldman, and Raging Swan press added a rogue talent where a dhampir could gain temp HP from a sneak attack a few times per day.

The inspiration is the Races of the Dragon book from 3.5, when I played a sorcerer with a bent towards racial memories coming into play, with spells that fit the theme of a silver dragon's powers (lots of shapechanging from the last group of 3.5 shapechange spells, but that party was melee poor, so it worked).

My original plan in Pathfinder was a dhampir sorceress with the sanguine bloodline, and spells drawn from the list of possible vampire powers, but with multiple witches in the party the character wouldn't add much from a nuts and bolts perspective.


Just took advantage of the extended sale to fill a few holes in my collection (Demonic Harlots, Kragnar's Black Market) as well as grabbing two of the Bullet Points to try them out as well (Dragonhide armor and Ghostbusting Items). With what I scanned after download, I'll probably be going back to grab a few more if not all of the Bullets. Am feeling a little late to this party having not seen it before, but if you're still asking folks for their ideas, I would love to see you guys tackle the Djinn with the Mythic Menageries, dive headlong into more aquatic races/setting/items, and go insane with Steampunk. Books covering fleshed out organizations would be handy as well. I saw that someone had brought up holidays, what about festivals,local customs and feasts? Something along the lines of a collection of small village/hamlet legends, every town has them, and they all find their way into the local flair for the surrounding population.

Am hoping to be able to review my purchases by the weekend, and will be introducing the material to my group at our session next week. Thank You.

Edit: Had to go back and grab a few more bullet points, very impressed with the format and material. Will get more specific reviews up for each this weekend.

That is a great idea!

I did a little aquatic material for the Order of the Trident in the second Cavalier Order PDF but I think a much more expansive aquatic oriented release would be great!


I am a new Pathfinder convert, having last actually played or given a damn back when it was AD&D2 (yeah, I didn't get into 3, tried 3.5 for about a month, and 4.. no).

I loved the new beginner box as it got my 15 yr old son and his buddies involved (yeah, future buyers dudes!), and love the map especially.

Me, personally, I'd love to see you guys add true EPUB to your entire line of books for this system. I have a Sony Nook Color, and while I *can* read the PDF's, a properly laid out EPUB that is true in spirit and design to the hardcopy books would totally rock. I'd love for Paizo to do the same!

Also - we use Hero Lab round here - any new "inventions" you've done, modules, etc, get em into HeroLab, and if you want to make a big splash - get in on the Realmsworks release with some parts of your included!

Has there been any word on the "much requested" Book of the Dark Mistress?

This thread is actually for Super Genius Games not Paizo. SGG makes products to be used with Pathfinder RPG but is in no way connected to Paizo. So you might want to post about the epub request in another forum. Unless you also like SGG stuff and would like to see them do it as well.

I don't know if I would say "much requested" I think 3 or 4 people asked. Plus I think that was the Harlot book.

While that does "uncover" the subject in a general way, what is needed is a source that covers more importat issues such as

  • Domains granted
  • Doctrine
  • Divine Minions (including your herald)
  • Relationships with other faiths
  • Major Centers of Worship
  • Important NPCs
  • Faith Specific Traits, Feats, Spells, & Items.

Now see, that was one of the books I hadn't grabbed yet, am going to have to add it to my library and see what's been done. Am still glad someone liked one of my suggestions though :)

He was referring to SSG in his request for epubs, as well as voicing our entire play groups desire to see HeroLab data packs that are official from the Geniuses. Trust me, he bugs Paizo about epubs also, lol.

Your desires have been heard! (And added to my impressive List of Good Ideas)

We're looking at EPUB options, but don;t have anything to announce about that yet. We are also constantly looking for things we could do about HeroLab, but so far only the Genius Guide to the Dragonrider has an official hl file available (though there are lots of unofficial fan data sets)

As for Realmsworks... mostly we don;t sell the kind of information it uses as separate form HL files. But we are certainly aware of the program in ways that aren't obvious yet.

So, an official HeroLab File for The Genius Guide to the Dragonrider????? And were do I find this???? Not to mention if you happen to be sitting on a collection of fansites sharing "unofficial" Genius files for HeroLab, I wouldn't be mad if you dropped them in my mailbox, lol. And speaking sir, of my mailbox, was I too late for the free PDF promotion, or are you still working your way through your mail?

And just in case I got lost in the throngs of mass fan mail you're buried in everyday :)

Ok, so now I feel like an idiot, figured out why I couldn't find the Dragonrider HeroLab files, lol... Never mind me, was having an airhead moment..

I have an idea. Take a bunch of monsters that look like they would be fun for PCs and rebalance them all to CR5 or some other CR so that GMs can easily run a campaign with everyone's favorite monsters available as PC races.

both cheeseweasel.net and d20pfsrd.com have pages dedicated to hero lab data sets. Cheese weasel has an obvious link on the left hand side of the page. The d20pfsrd has a hero lab page. you'll have to go looking for it unless someone wants to point it out. I wish I could give you more direct links, but my job has both pages blocked so I can't get to the urls for the specific pages.

(and yet the paizo messageboards are free and clear. Go figure.)

I haven't heard of any other specific fansites for hero lab datasets, but the Lone Wolf Forums are dripping with goodies (like a dataset for d20 Star Wars revised!)

Have exhausted both of these resources, am a regular haunt on both pages.. Was hoping perhaps Owen was referring to a previously untapped resource, lol. Thanks for responding though, always appreciate when folks share info.

So have I. I was so voracious for material that I've been teaching myself XML. I've been plugging a metric ton of stuff into Hero Lab on my own to "feed the need". I have an impressive set of SGG stuff, but I haven't thrown it up on any sites because I just don't feel comfortable handing it out because I want to promote people buying the pdf.

Am right there with you on the desire to see folks continue to buy and support the companies, without them being able to finance their end of it, there wouldn't be the plethora of material continuing to pour forth. I, alas, am all thumbs at most of the Hero Lab editor, lol. I can handle adding basic stuff, and have put a few of my SGG PDF's in there, but for the most part I am resigned to having to skip over anything requiring any code writing...ah well. Hopefully SGG hires on a Hero Lab in-putter soon (hint hint) and solves this for us all :)

I'm willing to entertain offers if someone feels up to being our Hero Lab guru. :)

Bingo. I'm getting better, but I'm still only mostly good for data entry. I can enter about 90% of a pdf.

Ok, I won't derail this thread any more. But if you want to compare notes, you can find me on the Lone Wolf forums as poizen37 (an alias I also use here)

and @Hyrum, I'll dig through and see if I have any SGG products I managed to 100% input. I don't think I'm qualified for guru level, but I'm certainly willing to do a fair share of heavy lifting.

I would like to have one of the following:

1- Options for the Time Thief and Time Warden One Book
2- Genius Guide to Time Magic
3- Anachronistic Adventurers: The Enforcer , I’d love to see the Academic, Bruiser, and Agent base classes.
I thought I would go with a time theme for what I would like to see.

I'd love to have either the Codex Draconis: Red Tyrants of the Mountains or the White Terrors of the North.

+1 for the Genius Guide to Time Magic & more chronomancy themed products in general!


So, Owen...I never received my PDF, nor a response. If I misunderstood, and was to late, I understand that, and am willing to accept that. Was just wondering if and when I might get said response to let me know if I was in fact to late, or if I might be seeing that PDF...and yes, I know this makes me sound like I'm whining, trust me, not what I was intending..

One or more new suppliments using model Veroic F!


I hope that you liked my submission even a little. I'm hopefully still waiting your comments.^^

Liberty's Edge

I think you guys at SGG at the bomb. I especially like the new classes you introduce and want to see more of them. Keep up the good work. If I can also offer up another opinion, Id love to see a print option - maybe print on demand. I still like dead trees.

In case you didn't know, Veronic F is a nom de game for model Jenny Poussin, who has pretty much given up the Veronic F name.

I have a photo shoot she sent me, and it may well see the light of day next year...

We do have two print compilations available now, and we're looking for ways to make more dead tree products available. (I'm a big fan of them myself!)

Oh, I am very aware of who Jenny Poussin is, and linking her website to this board would be a bad idea. :)

Actually... no. I don;t think anyone has ever suggested a Dragonslayer class. I have the Giant Slayer as a cultural role for my home campaigns... I might be able to see a way to do this without stomping all over the Ranger. Or maybe the Slayer class is a base class with monster-killing options that can be an alternate ranger, like sorcerers and wizards fill the same niche but are different enough to appeal to different players...

So what happened to the Genius Guide to Valkyries and Viragos idea that was being kicked around a while back? ;-D

Schedule for release some time this year!


Detailed and Customizable random encounter tables by party level and environment.

For example :

Level 1-4 Disiduous Forest
1-2 1d4 Goblins
3-4 1d4 Spiders
5-6 _______________
7-8 _______________
...
99-100 2d4 Goblins

Where the table assumes that if you roll a blank, either the GM has put something in ahead of time, or you slide up or down to the nearest filled in row (blanks always in pairs). This lets the GM add in new creatures as new bestiaries are put out, and still have proper CR encounters.

I'd suggest levels at 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, 17-20

RPG Superstar 2009 Top 32

And I will always encourage the Geniuses of SGG to write a couple more of their wonderful One Night Stands series!

One idea, pioneered by Legendary Games would be to write them with possible tie-ins (at least so they could be easily plugged into) existing Paizo Adventure Paths. :)

This would be (at the risk of sounding like the child of the '80s that I am) totally awesome!

A little good randomization never hurt anyone!
