Any news on left-overs for sale to us late-comers?
Any idea of when we might hear if our submissions are in or out?
Just sent in a strange little submission that might fit into the "Of Chance and Skill" category. If it doesn't get accepted, I'll post it somewhere for folks to have a look.
I've got a few of them squirreled away in my email (mostly recent ones, but a couple going back several years). if you'd like copies, PM me an email address.
I had the same problem with my mini codes a few weeks ago, but CS was able to get them for me. Unfortunately, when I went to use them they didn't work. The last I heard, the tech folks were looking into it. So there's that.
I'm planning on celebrating Paizo Customer Service & Warehouse Appreciation Day this Wednesday (March 26th) by once again sending sweet treats to our favourite CS and warehouse staff (see here for coverage of the inaugural celebration). While I'm happy to have this be a thing I do on my own on behalf of the community, I wouldn't be opposed to accepting donations to cover the costs. If anybody's interested, please PM me and we can iron out the details.
Are you saying it *is* that art, or just something that looks a lot like it? It's a bit hard to tell, but from the 2nd screen shot on this page, I'd say that it was Paizo's art. EDIT/UPDATE
Yeah, the old Wikia wiki is *way* out of date and quite a mess of ads and bad content to boot… you probably should just check out pathfinderwiki.com.
When I started to read Ross' second post, I thought he was going to say that it was code that he wrote which caused the problem.
Hey rgrove, send me a PM or an email (check my profile) and we'll try and get you sorted.
Well, let's see. Did it Minor, but
Well... I don't know that I'm an ass, but I do wish I'd noticed the problem earlier. ;-) As it turns out, we're also having our host move us to a more stable hardware node later today. So with any luck, the intermittent problems we've been having lately should settle down.
Same here on iOS v6.1.3
Yeah, I thought about that too, but dismissed it in my excitement. I think the picture in Ultimate Campaign is still interesting though. The adults in the picture might not match up with the parents in his backstory, but they could be his half-sister and another human male (a partner, a retainer, who knows?).
So, this started out as a post about the art on page 10 of Ultimate Campaign possibly revealing Seltyiel as the transgendered iconic. It seemed pretty straight forward to me. A little girl with an elven mother and human father (in a chapter filled with depictions of young iconics). I went to check his back story to see if there was anything about the races of his parents, and that's when I discovered this:
The first sentence acknowledges Seltyiel's current gender, but the third reveals that the child born was not a male. Has this really been sitting in front of us for the last five years? Was the art a gentle hint? Has this already been settled somewhere else?
Would folks like to see a giant campaign set mostly in and under and around Sandpoint? Absolutely! I want more about The Pit, more about the Tors, more about the Red Bishop, more, more, more, more, more!
We do, we're just too paralysed with terror to post.
This would seem to indicate that you're in the clear... as long as you meet the other requirements of the CUP (such as adding yourself to the registry, not using any of Paizo's trade dress, and adding that magic blurb somewhere on your map (or the site it's available from)).
...one of the Community use policy sites... That would be Pathfinder Chronicler.
They may look like a witch, ninja, and a blood-thirsty fey, but in truth they're nothing less than g!!-d%$ned vikings... fearless, hard-working, and maybe a little unorthodox. Yay for the CS crew, past and present!
Have a look at these sports cards sleeves. UltraPro sleeves I'm a fan of these sleeves too. You can get them right here at Paizo
As a first time contributor, it really is a thrill to see my submission make the cut. For those of you that might be interested in how Caller's Rise came together, I've put together some notes here.
The french language licensee for Pathfinder products makes slip covers for APs. They are a bit pricey (just under €20), but they look quite nice.
Thanks danielc, I was pretty pleased with it too. I should mention though, that despite me going on and on about using cheap materials, I actually went out and bought some sort of Warhammer cavalry mini for the horse part. So yeah, there's no guarantee that you can do this sort of thing for pennies, but even when you can't it's still WAY cheaper than a custom sculpt.
I agree that kit-bashing something together is probably your best bet. All you need is a knife, some glue, maybe a bit of "green stuff", and a bit of courage and imagination. It also helps to have a pile of stuff that you're willing to sacrifice parts of to make a greater whole. Here are a few examples of what somebody with moderate (barely) hand skills can accomplish: swashbucker
Plastic is WAY easier to work with. Old hero-clix figures, left-over Warhammer bits, and the toy section at the dollar store are all great sources of material. Also, keep those bits that you cut off to be replaced... some day you might want that sword, shield, or hose that ran to a bio-gun of some sort. "But Andrew, I would never be able to do something like that!" Trust me, if I can do it, so can you. The biggest hurdle is getting over the fear that you'll ruin something. Beat that fear by using cheap materials. Make clean cuts to that you can glue things back together if you need to. Finally, a fresh coat of paint will make all the difference. A unpainted frankenstein looks pretty bad, but I find that even a coat of primer lets me see past the ugliness.
"...send her beyond Ustalav's boarders..." Also, just so I'm not "that guy", this is a super-cool story. I love a brooding Slavic/early wintry setting.
The short answer is that if you can see parts of a map that came from a PDF or print publication then it's not OK if you post it somewhere the public can get to it. Maps recreated from scratch are ok. The long answer is that you should check out the Community Use Policy.
"Mind Bullets"? Is somebody a Roderick on the Line fan?
I was wandering the dollar store today and ran across this. It's not perfect, but if you're looking to throw a mothman at your group you could do worse. Canadians, check your local Dollarama.
There was somebody on the first page of this thread that was also missing the same 3 minis as Pygon and me. They didn't post a full count, but mentioned specifically that they were missing them. Also, my case came from Paizo.
Here's my count from a full case. 2 Bugbear Hero (c)
No broken minis, though a couple with paint steps missed... nothing major. Lots of badly bent weapons. A few figures have a serious lean to them. I suspect that these are the product of the softer plastic. If that's the case I'd much rather have rigid plastic that I can glue back together if it's broken than misshapen models. The storm giant is a HUGE let down. Very little detail. Garish colour palette. Large relatively flat areas that could have had painted details (cape and shield). It might be an overstatement, but my impression is that it looks like a toy form the dollar store. Tons of great models. Some excellent paint jobs. I have very mixed feelings about this set. A lot of my sourness could be chalked up to the three minis I didn't get though (I feel like I'm WAY off the distribution curve here). Lots of great singles to pick up. Kobold, bugbear, ogres, and stone giants are a sure bet.
Yeah, I got that one too, but figured they'd be the same. As it turns out, I was wrong.
For completeness, here are the "old" ARG names: Male: Arak, Bekri, Doruk, Fethi, Grung, Hagla, Haluk, Kurat, Malgrim, Mevlut, Oktar, Saltuk, Turgut.Female: Afet, Ceyda, Ela, Esma, Huri, Kurmu, Maral, Masal, Melda, Nisa, Nural, Sekla, Sena, Tansu, Vesile. There's a fair bit of variance in the male names, and a single difference in the female names. Also, interesting catch on the possible inspiration of the original names. If that is indeed the case, then you're right that it's probably the motivation for the change.
So I get an email tonight saying that the PDF of this product has been updated. It said that the hobgoblin sample names had been changed. I immediately downloaded the new version to compare with the copy that I already had. I expected to maybe see an inadvertently naughty name or maybe something that sounded a little bit like a real word (Kahtneep ~ catnip). Instead I find that all of the names both male and female had been changed. I'm just wondering what prompted the name changes. Any official comment?
While I'm sure he has political viewpoints, I'm fairly certain Danzig's main concern was and is: rockin'. That, and serving his dark lord.
I can't say for sure without going home and looking, but I think I'm safe saying that there aren't any duplicates between any of the boxed sets of cards. One exception... the two sets that are available in boosters (Hero's Hoard and Relics of War) were repackaged into boxed sets. I think one of them became Essentials, and I can't remember the other one.
You know what I'd like to see? Different spell lists for the Adept npc class, and alternatives for its "Summon familiar" class feature. Either one of those would go a long way to having an adept that feels a lot less like a druid and more like a low-level member of the clergy.
Thread is here. Purchasing them through this link would help support PathfinderWiki.
Dear Paizo, I hate you... now take my money. Your pal Drew. P.S.
P.P.S.
…but if you've found the images through the artist's website, then you should be fine, with a couple caveats. Just be a good netizen and link back to the artist's gallery, and for good measure, use the Community Use clause on your website (found here under the "Usage Requirements" section). I've got to say, I'm a little surprised by this answer. Are you saying that Paizo, as the copyright holder of say this image would be OK with me taking a copy of it and uploading it to PathfinderWiki.com to illustrate an article? If that's the case, then why are certain images specificly licensed under the CUP? I'm not trying to be adversarial here, I'm just excited that we might be able to spruce up the wiki with a bunch of pretty pictures. On the other hand, I don't want to get my hopes up before we get a concrete ruling on the issue.
One day I was contemplating all of the extra bits I had left over after assembling this Warhammer set and whipped up a klar from one of the heads from the set and a spear tip. I didn't have a plan for it, but then fate took over when I noticed an old Bane heroclix. My internal dialogue went something like this: "Huh, look at that, it's the perfect size and he's in the perfect pose for it. Wait a minute, there's that Shoanti fighting style where they use a klar and earthbreaker. The haft of that spear that I just clipped the tip of of would work, but what about the head? You know a couple pieces of the sprue from that set would be about the right shape if I glued them together right. Now to make the spikes out of green stuff. Well, they didn't turn out quite as well as I'd hoped, but it gets the idea across. Now I'll just use this left over green stuff to fill in some of Bane's low-cut getup. Now what am I going to do with that head?" At that point, the inspiration ran out. He sat in a box for a few months while I waited for the perfect head to cross my path. Recently, I started running a game for my nephew, and in that game he plays a Shoanti thunder and fang style fighter. I decided it was finally time to dig out this old model and get it finished. In a bit of a rush, I decapitated a Hawkeye heroclix (which was already an amputee because somebody else needed his bow), shaved off his hair and glued it onto Bane's body. For some reason it didn't look entirely too small... good enough! Prime, paint, wash, base, dullcote, done. God he looks like Duke Nukem, and why is he wearing sunglasses (those aren't sunglasses, they're goggles he picked up while exploring the Cinderlands)? Also, he probably should have had some tattoos, but really, I think he turned out pretty good. I love it when thing fall into place like this:
Keep the guesses coming, folks! I find them very entertaining, especially the ones that are really, really off the mark. And some of the ones that are close, but for entirely different reasons. Pfft... it's pretty easy: A miniatures skirmish game (possibly designed by Chris Pramas), and maybe a full line of Beginner Box style pawns to go with it.
So, not to be ungrateful or anything, but... The page numbers in this pdf (and the player's one for that matter) are kind of inconveniently placed. I was looking to print this PDF out double-sided and then get it bound. The problem is that the pages are numbered such that the first page should be the leftmost in a two page spread. So when I print it regular-wise, the page numbers (and page headers) are in the gutter. Folks printing single sided are also going to have this problem half of the time (even if the number were in what I consider the "right" positions). That said, I realize that creating a new master page layout (or whatever InDesign calls it) with centred page numbers - for something you're just giving away - isn't really a good allocation of resources. On the other hand, I'm hopeful that a request to swap the page number positions on the pages won't be sighed at too loudly. I am, of course, ready to put on my big boy pants and deal with my admittedly first world problem at your slightest suggestion.
For map packs, I use a large drawer style card box a lot like this one. I prefer this to the smaller plastic boxes (which I also used for a time, before I outgrew it), because it doesn't have those little plastic ridges in the bottom. I found that they tended to put little dings on the edges of my precious maps. Also, to the original poster, I noticed that the product description on the linked page says that the binders are 5x7. Do the map cards (which are 5x8 I believe) actually fit? If so, I'll be tempted to try these out.
If you don't mind lugging one around an artists's portfolio folder/bag is ideal - less space friendly but it means you can store them flat. This is *perfect* if you have the space. If you're short on space, try good old-fashioned sheet protectors in a binder. I also slip the cardboard header from the original packaging into the sleeve for easy identification.
Clark, thanks for the info. I suspect that I'm a bit more of a corner case than some. My preference would be for portrait and full colour since I intend to print and bind these. I'm willing to entertain the idea of binding them in landscape (maybe like the old Battletech Technical Readouts)... we'll see. At any rate, I'll hopefully pick these products up just because you have a history of publishing really cool stuff (I'm looking forward to Dark_Mistress' review). EDIT: Ninja'd by Dark_Mistress EDIT (...again): Also, since I'm looking to bind these, a proper back cover is also pretty important to me. But again, I suspect I'm a bit of a corner case.
So it looks like the full colour version has a landscape orientation. How about the "printer friendly" version... portrait or landscape? |
