Hi folks, My 10 year old boys just played the full PFS yesterday with their 1st level characters and described the game as "Epic." Apparently they need to play again this weekend. Does anyone know of any open PFS games for Level 1 characters going on this weekend in NYC please? I'll play too. Thanks!
Here are a few suggestions for Paizo relating to the "My Downloads" feature. I will note that I have well over 200 items in my downloads folder, the vast majority of which are Paizo-produced and Pathfinder related. 1. Please have the files inside the ZIP files have reasonable names. It's one thing to get a download with file name "PathfinderRoleplayingGameCoreRulebookOGLPDF-SingleFile.zip" but entirely another to uncompress it into the incomprehensible "PZO1110E.pdf". I had to write a special script to find all the files in each ZIP and uncompress them one at a time, prepending the name of the ZIP, to have any idea what most of the PDF files were after compression. 2. How about having a synchronize service? I'd love to have something like O'Reilly has with their eBooks and DropBox. Just automatically put my (uncompressed, reasonably-filenamed and of course properly watermarked) PDF files in my DropBox and update them whenever I buy new PDFs or you release new versions. You can do this with directories and subdirectories so I'd have a structure like the ones listed below (which is what I actually use to store all my PDFs, largely named after the headings in the "My Downloads" section). 3. It would be great if I could download all my ZIP files into one directory, then simply uncompress them all, and the files will come out neatly organized into a hierarchical structure. So, for example, maybe that aforementioned "CoreRulebook" ZIP file would actually contain one file: Pathfinder Rulebooks/Core Rulebook v5 PZO1110E.pdf 4. It would be even greater if I didn't have to wait 10 seconds for personalizing and then have to click again. One-click, even if it goes to a page that sits there while personalizing happens then starts the download, would be ideal. It took ages (several hours) for me to re-download all my ZIP files (well, the single-file versions anyway) this past week. The language the application is written in also really doesn't like it if you open up multiple windows (e.g., open download link in new tab/window) after a while, and you have to reload the download list page. 5. It would be nice if I had the ability to hide versions that I don't want or care about, perhaps as a filter option. I don't ever download the "single file per chapter" versions, for example, yet they clutter up my downloads list. Maybe better would be to show the file and then have 4 download links for it (SF, SF-L, MF, MF-L) as necessary - so each file will still just take up one line. Anyway, these are just a few ideas I had that would improve the usability of the downloads section. I welcome thoughts. Thanks! Possible directory structure: (might need a "Paizo" super-directory to allow for 3rd party content...) /Adventure Paths
Hi there, I happen to have two iPads now and was wondering if I could legally bring the second loaded up with all my official Paizo PDFs and GoodReader and give that to the GM for use to satisfy the requirement to bring the books or printouts for any Additional Resources used. (I had the mini but turns out I prefer a larger screen.) It seems to meet the spirit of the rules, but from reading plenty of other posts here I know that the spirit is not necessarily the letter of the rules and so I'm asking. :) Thanks!
Hi folks, We're running the "Black Fang" scenario and after part of it I put the characters into Hero Lab, the free Beginner Box edition. However, I think the skills are adding up differently than the Beginner Box says. For example, it seems that a skill with 1 rank grants a +1 to a roll in the paper version, but Hero Lab seems to be making it a +4 to a roll if you have one rank. This is making the skill checks much easier to pass. Thoughts on what may be going on? Thanks!
Hi folks, My boys loved Pathfinder at this year's GenCon. I scheduled just two sessions on the first day, and they made me cancel and rearrange things so they could complete the whole Advanced Kids path (5 adventures), so we did 6 2-hour adventures at GenCon. I'm starting a home campaign for them. It's going to have just two PCs, most likely a Fighter and a Wizard. The pre-generated dungeons are intended for 4 PCs, though. I was wondering: 1. Do you think it would be a good idea for me to add a 3rd party member as an NPC, probably a Cleric? She could also be played by my daughter on occasion if desired. She could also stand in as someone who divulges wisdom on occasion instead of having the GM (me) just invent knowledge the PCs knew. However, I don't know how this would play out. I'd keep her record just as if she were a PC. 2. Assuming 3 PCs, does this imply that I should just reduce all encounters by 25%? If so, should I reduce the enemy HPs by 25%, reduce the # of XP in the encounters by 25% (such as by reducing the # of monsters), or what? Where can I get more information on scaling the encounters for 4 PCs down to 3 or 2? I read that the CR is intended for a party of 4. Thanks! |
