Okay, so the last time I checked Additional Resources I was positive that it said Drow Descended Half Elves were not legal. Like it explicitly mentioned them. I checked it again today and I swear I didn't see that explicitly stated in the rules for Half Elves.
I am dead certain Half Drows are still illegal, someone please just confirm it.

Half-Elves: all alernate (sic) racial traits except drow-blooded and drow magic are legal for play; all racial subtypes except drow-descended are legal for playStill the case on the website and in the PDF of 23 December.
Ah ha! Knew it! I was checking the wrong book. Thank god because I thought I was about to be seeing a lot more purple people at my local gaming table.

As GM you're given leeway to include random encounters of Purple People Eaters (specifically of the one-eyed, one-horned, flying variety).Oh. I did not know that.
I guess if they ever legalize Dusk Elves or Half Drow, I can help thin the herd.
Oh, no, he was joking. You're not allowed to alter scenarios in PFS. Please don't add monsters.

There is no element of character creation for PFS that is more frequently used incorrectly than the half-drow. I've seen about six half-drow characters in PFS, who are very disappointed when it's pointed out that their racial traits are illegal.
I see your half-drow and raise you the racial vs race traits fiasco.
"No, you can't use Adopted to get the human bonus feat. Yes, I'm sure."

Not seen it that much here. Or the Drow bit. Hmmm... Had a few folks try to do 3rd party stuff one.

Sorry, just like local Town Guards, you can always bring in a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater of the Drowinator variety.
Whether you can also force the Drow to wear a yellow polka-dotted bikini is a different question...

"Have you determined the cause of death, Detective?"
"Yep, facepalmed clean through his skull."
"Nasty way to go."
"Yep."

It's mostly from the really new people, who haven't figured out the key difference between the two terms. It's kind of understandable, since the game's language isn't always as precise as Magic: The Gathering.

Having played Magic in the early days, it was not nearly as precise. Seems every gaming system needs to refine itself over time as it grows.

Our really new people are typically in the phase of "Should I play a fighter or a ranger for my archer," not "This loophole looks hilarious, I wonder if a medium-size creature can fit through it."

I remember - I've been around since Ice Age. ^_^
Pathfinder is moving in a more precise direction, but a lot of stuff (especially in the CRB) still uses a lot of legacy wording meant for a system where the GM was expected to make rulings on vague stuff.

Most of them don't think they're exploiting a loophole - they assume that that's the intended function of Adopted.

Ah, yes, way before "the stack", back when Counterspell was still an "Interrupt", and before Zombie Lord was an actual Zombie.
I started when Revised was released and for like 15 years after. Lots of memories =)
...and I weep every time I see how much dual lands are selling for =(

They removed Mana Burn?!
Yes, they did.
From what I have seen, as an antique (Unlimited, and the tail-end of Arabian Nights), it makes a change in tactics. I know it would massively affect my old Urza deck, as it would make the scaling Mana production of the Tower/Mine/Power Plant much less of a hassle to handle...
