Last night I bought the interactive maps for the my shattered Star campaign that I am running using Fantasy Grounds II. They look absolutely fantastic, the resolution the far better than the 'scanned in' versions I have been using up to now(We are a 1/3 of the way through module 2).

I would like to ask a request for future versions that would really be helpful for those of us the use these maps for VTT. Could we have a single grid square added to the legend before or after the text where it says '1 square = 5 feet'.

When we overlay our own grids in the VTT software we can use this as a template this would allow us to get the scale perfect once we have removed the grid and 'screen shot' the map.. I'm not sure if this needs to be added by Chris Lambertz or at the map creation process but this would be a nice bonus for future interactive maps.

I have been wondering how Gm's handle this situation. I am currently running an adventure with a 9th lvl Magus as an NPC if he casts Monstrous Physique 1 can any class with spellcraft discern the exact spell or does it need to be a class with the spell on its spell list? The party consist of a Witch an Oracle and a Magus/Monk, can only the Magus/Monk identify the spell or can all three of the casters have a chance at identifying it as it is being cast?

For ease and speed of play I am willing to allow all the classes identify it if they make the roll but is that how other GM's rule it?

I have just finished running Shards of Sin with a smaller group of my usual 'table' gamers using Fantasy Grounds 2. Its the first time I have fully used an electronic table top for running a full part of an AP. Everything ran smooth in this game it really made it easy for us to break the dungeon crawl into 2 or 3 hour games online once per week.
From what I gather, maps are one of the last things finalised at the end of the production period. I would like to request that maybe for a smaller cost than the complete AP interactive maps they are produced and released at the same time as the AP as they would be great to upload without the room ID tags for use in electronic game systems. I am purposefully slowing down starting part 2 even though my players are chomping at the bit to move onto it but I feel I need to wait for the interactive versions before we start.
Another thing due to the maps being so large the images do become very pixellated when we need to zoom in to place electronic tokens on them. The Crow Catacomb and the Crow Dungeon for example do not scale very well due to being 2 maps placed side by side in a portrait view. I would like to see big dungeons like this flipped in landscape view in future AP's.

A Question about the injection spear. Can it be used to hold any injected poison and still at 5 doses per load? If so how long does it take to reload?

+1 for Pathfinder audiobooks. I'm an Audible subcriber myself and get an audiobook each month which occupies me on the commute to work daily. I would really love to hear some of the greatest narrators in the business(in my opinion)such as Toby Longworth, John Lee or Peter Joyce narrate some pathfinder tales.

If you are interested in hearing some work from these guys check out: The Gregg Mandell trilogy by Peter F Hamilton (Toby Longworth), Absolution Gap, House of Suns, Redemption Ark (John Lee) by Alastair Reynolds or the Demon War saga by Raymond E Fiest (Peter Joyce).

Through being a fan of Raymond E Fiest caused me to start up an Audible subcription in 2009 and I havent looked back. Since I started listening to audio books I think I read probably 3 paperbacks in the time, I just don't have the time for them anymore : (
