My brother and I have used it for monsters and obstacles. Things like benches, barrels and trees. But rarely did we build walls. We were also using minifigs for all characters as well.

We have an extensive collection between us with 30 years of collecting. So, for us it was cheaper than buying PPM.

I would prefer not overloading the term Domain. That word should remain reserved for the divine power feature. Maybe a better term would be Demesne?

Domain Mastery just sounds like a Mythic ability for divine casters.

I am quite interested in the Mythic toolkit and this does pique my curiosity.

I would like a PFRPG listing of the "slot affinities" table. The 3.5 DMG had a table on page 288, but PF did some tweaking with the head/headband.

This table has come up in RPG Superstar before as a guideline and I'd like to see it back in print and updated.

pg. 387 - RPG Superstar listing

ancestral reliquary, iron collar of the unbound coven and clockwork conscience are listed as items that are published in this book - but are not actually in the book, except on the RPG Superstar credit page.

All of these are neck items...

I would ask that you take the earliest opportunity to put these items into print somewhere so these authors can not just get credit but be published in a Paizo product.

pg 98-99: a "Poor" stay at an inn is listed as 2 gp when it should be 2 sp. This is most obvious on Table 2-13.

The error on page 370 was mentioned during the blog previews and the missing items were re-listed in the comments.

I usually use a PFS scenario for a one-shot, because they're designed to be run in a single session. I sometimes have problems completing modules in a single go.

The Draconic Glide kobold feat (pg.136) under special states

Special: If you have the gliding wings
racial trait, instead of the above abilities,
your base speed increases to 30 feet.

but Kobold base speed is already 30 so what is this feat intended to do do?

Gliding Wings most likely lowered your base speed during one draft.

So, either Draconic Glide needs correcting or Gliding Wings needs it.

Try the Beginner Box resources.
The rules are streamlined for easier comprehension.

I haven't read them yet, but the Beginner Box Bash Demos may be the right length for this kind of setting. Also, they're free.

First-sale arguably doesn't apply at all to video games, since you are purchasing a tightly-defined license, not a tangible product that you get to claim ownership of.

Historically, this is demonstrably not true. Mattel, Atari, Nintendo, Sega and Sony all have warranties on games published for their respective systems that apply to original purchaser. That strongly implies that it was expected that there would be secondary purchasers.

Even though some of the manufacturers (pre-1984) refer to the product as software in big letters, they all recognized that they were selling a tangible good. Your argument may have some validity for games available by download only, but these machines are also supposed to play Blu-ray discs.

Also, when a niche publisher of tangible games goes under, where else could I go to get the product but the used games market?

At the very least, I can look forward to a PFS scenario that I can grab with "by Tom Phillips" on it.

EDIT: I wanted to clarify. I didn't mean to imply that Tom has lost, rather the Top 4 have already WON.

87. During your illness you realize that the sickened condition is very accurate. -2 to all rolls, yesterday.

more wondrous items for the following slots:

wrists
hands
headband

Also, the "slot affinity" table that has been referenced during RPG Superstar but never officially codified in a PFRPG Rulebook.

Honestly any feedback from anyone would be appreciated. I don't care how harsh the criticism, after all you really don't know what I look like so if you put it sounds like it was written by a fat, bearded guy that lives in a cave you don't REALLY know that the description suits me so I would take no offense.

Any bits would be appreciated.

Ask and ye shall receive. But I'm just an observer - I lack true mojo for submitting one of my own.

Technical stuff:
good execution of template.
"In addition the veil" should be "In addition, the veil"

Conceptual stuff:

It does a lot of things.
It provides a bonus to Cha (for 2 extra channels), a +1/die bonus to damage and a 1/day sunburst.

From a power-gaming aspect, this looks like the item of uber-channeling - so a little cheesy. I'd say SAK.

The bonus to Cha is out of place, both thematically and by slot. The Cha enhancing slot is headband.
I'm not sure thematically why this would provide a bonus to Cha.

Where I think this item really grates is the penalties for channeling negative energy. How often does the 6d6 damage + blindness occur? Does it only occur once when the item is put on? or does it occur each round?

Same for the Cha drain. The only wondrous item that acts similarly is the robe of the archmagi. And that only bestows negative levels while the item is worn. There may have been some artifacts in 3.5 that acted this way.

One of the other players I was in a game with came up with this lame generic backstory for his fighter.

He took the name I suggested and became known as:

Jenerik, the Fighter

Granted. 50 subscriptions to TIME have been ordered in your name.

I wish I could play piano.

Your house is kept relentlessly clean by your maid staff, who do so silently and efficiently.
