Is there anywhere to get a good overview of what kind of rules system is used? It sounds pretty interesting but I'd like to have some idea of how it works mechanically. A video would be ideal if one exists (I learn better through listening then reading).

The Kickstarter page has a link to a Quick Start download and there is a small English how to session on their YouTube channel

Hi,

i would have bought this Box ... but seriously ... why do the Standups have white Backgrounds ?
It looks cheap.
If they had a Background like Antique Paper or whatever they would
look much much better.
And it would not make them more expensive , i work in printing.

Or rather than Standups use Token ... cardboard token look better than those Standups you use.
Dont get me wrong , i LOVE Pathfinder ... but this is a serious flaw in
the Box.

Hope you change that in the new Edition ...

Oh , just as an Idea , make the Floor Plans and Stand Ups / Tokens
(a BETTER version please) for the normal Players as seperate
Box ... Tabletop Addition for Pathfinder =)
Maybe even the Heroes from your Adventures as Plastic Miniatures ...

Best Regards
André "Azzitay" Deffland

1) Paizo has separate pawn packages from the Bestiary and many of the Adventure Paths.

2) There are plastic minis of the iconics and many of the monsters & encounters from various Adventure Paths.

3) The flip mats are not meant to be "stand up". Not everyone likes those. There are other companies that make those, so you can buy from them - or you can make your own.

Your complaints are a bit on the harsh side, IMHO. There are no "serious flaws" with the Beginner Box. You just need to check out the things that Paizo sells a bit more thoroughly.

It should be considered an evil act only if barbecue sauce is not involved ;)

Last night I picked up the Adventure Planner after looking at similar products.

I would have to say that it is definitely worth it.

Some of the categories in the Adventure Planner are not going to be new to most veteran GM's, but having it all there in a nice format to remind you and to easily fill in with your personalized information is very handy.

Some of the categories I would not have remembered or thought of to make any concrete notations about, but the Adventure Planner made me go : "Oh yeah! Don't forget to note that..."

-------

I know that no "generic" adventure/campaign planner is perfect, but here are some of my thoughts on the Adventure Planner:

1) The price is nice!
It is hard to find too many faults in this product for around 5 USD.

2) The Adventure Planner is geared towards Pathfinder and asks you what official products you are using in the campaign or adventure and also gives you places to note your own specific modifications of anything from character classes to spells to world setting changes, etc

3) It is fairly comprehensive. You can note anything from the year in game to major NPCs to your favorite traps or teverns, etc
You can pick and choose which "forms" you wish to use or not.

4) Typographically is is clean and space is generally well laid out in the forms and page sections of the Adventure Planner. It is visually simple, yet appealing and makes good use of space.

I have more praises, but I will end those for now.

-------

I only have two minor gripes, but as I said before, no product is perfect, but I think it would be nice to see these added to future revisions:

a) The Adventure Planner needs an Index!
You have to look through the entire Planner to find what you want w/o an index and that is an oversight that needs to be corrected, IMHO
A one extra page index is not an unreasonable request.

b) To take the Adventure planner from a very good 4 star product to a 5 star masterpiece of top-notch professionalism, making it a fillable PDF would clinch it as indespensible to any Pathfinder Gamemaster!
I am overall very pleased with the Adventure Planner, but making it fillable and adding an index would raise its appeal from a "recommended" product to a MUST!

------

If there are revisions to include these suggestions, I hope that prior purchasers would get an updated version gratis.

My two minor suggestions/gripes aside, I recommend the Adventure Planner to anyone that wants ideas or forms on how to notate and plan their adventures and Pathfinder campaign.
The price is nice and it is highly useful.

My Pathfinder-Ptolus hybrid campaign that I just started about a month ago is really fun.

I have been watching the ideas here.

One thing I am doing is making the Delvers' Guild a local branch of the Pathfinder Society.

I have eliminated certain aspects of original Ptolus, such as characters being bound to any area, but I can see still playing that as being fun :)

My choice of location for the city makes Ptolus in the midst of some interesting potential politics between other friendly and/or rival cities:

Ptolus in Varisia

Here, I have placed Ptolus North across from Magnimar and West of Riddleport.

I did not want to replace any existing cities in Golarion and the bay there looked quite inviting as a place for the City By The Spire!

I think that mixing Ptolus with the Golarion campaign setting is a logical choice for Ptolus fans. It does neither Ptolus nor Pathfinder any injustice - they compliment each other well, IMHO.

I am so thankful for the PFRG for many reasons, but one is that it allows my beloved city to breathe fresh air once more :)
