So I saw a copy of Curse of the Crimson Throne sitting on a shelf at a game store so I picked it up not realizing it required the core set, or so it said. What is actually needed from the core set to be able to use this box? Is it just the core rules and the dice or are there cards in the core set integral to the deck building?</p>Hey there!

They include different stuff that make the game harder (extra locations, tougher enemies, story and lore-based events/requirements for each scenario etc.) or easier (finding extra loot, gaining coins, purchasing potions at the store etc.).</p>
<p>After defeating a henchman or a villain I have a chance of finding a boon (for example, 33% or 66% chances respectively).</p>
<p>But what type of boon? I want to decide it by rolling a die and chosing between a selected pool of boon types. The pool is selected based on how the villain looks and what would I expect from him to drop.</p>
<p>For example, a skeleton henchman can drop only weapons and light armor. Jibrail Whyskey can drop weapons, light armor, item, ally or blessing.</p>
<p>It's obvious for me why he might drop a weapon, armor or item - because he carries them around or is equipped with them.</p>
<p>My friend asked: "How can a brigand drop an ally?". And I can easily answer that. He might be a slaver who kidnaps people and sell them to slavery, and we just saved one of those slaves who he was transporting while we attacked him. Or he could have kidnapped someone to demand a ransom from his family. Or it is just a dog who he treated badly and the dog likes us and is happy to join us. Lots of things I can imagine.</p>
<p>But how does finding a blessing look like in the fantasy world? I thought playing a blessing is like praying to some god asking for help. So if you want a blessing of a specific god - you just pray to that particular god. But how can I "find" a blessing? Or how do I "carry" it with myself (alongside weapons, spell scrolls and items)?</p>
<p>I need to understand and imagine that in order to make up explanations about how a villain could drop a blessing.</p>
<p>Can you give some ideas/examples how playing your blessing or finding a new one would be described in fiction manner based on Pathfinder lore?</p>I ran into a lore/imagination issue while working on my own set of house rules.

<p>It seems to me adding new cards without removing the old ones begins to water down everything. By the 4th, 5th and 6th Adventure Decks, if you have cards from the early decks, you might get weak enemies and crappy items/weapons/armor etc… and that won’t help with the later Adventure Deck Henchmen and Villians.</p>I’m finishing Burnt Offerings (Adventure Deck 1) from Rise of the Runelords.

<p>So I'm an old-time table top guy (I'm sure like many of us) that really enjoys how the PACG integrates elements of card games and RPGs. I think there are several ways PACG could add more depth to the game and the idea I wanted to present today centers around story telling.</p>
<p>Visualizing the action and following the story behind the scenarios is something my group and I really enjoy. Often times we will look at the actual table-top modules to get a better understanding of the adventure setting, villains, stories, etc... </p>
<p><b>I think an idea that would enhance the story aspect of PACG would be to alter future scenarios based on the success or failure of the current scenario.</b> So let's say your group fails a scenario...rather than just replay it, there could be rules/mechanics to alter a future scenario(s) based on that failure. Merely replaying a scenario could definitely be an option, but having your enemies change, or your path from A to B change could add another layer of depth to PACG.</p>
<p>I know you can add in your own role play reasons for replaying a scenario, but it would be a ton of fun if you failed a scenario and had to take a different path to complete the adventure deck. </p>
<p>From a cost/production perspective, Paizo wouldn't have to create extra Scenario cards. They could just add sections to existing Scenarios that have different rewards / effects / etc...if the previous scenario had been failed.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>I haven't posted a lot on these forums so I hope this is the right place.
