Thanx, Zuxius! I'm specifically interested in the Caverns set and the Dungeon Chambers (both are in my cart right now, but I'm on the fence!) Again, not looking for anything that would step on Paizo's toes, just a few small sized images to know how they look and to get an idea of what combinations I could make. One question I have, (using these for 4th ed,) how are they as far as having interesting terrain features? (thinking of things like cover, etc.) WotC's Dungeon Tiles seem to lack consideration for these things. (Ok, I think I saw a giant chair in the new set...) ![]()
I've posted on two diff threads about getting images of these on the site, but I've gotten no responses. The most recent info about this issue came from Vic about a month ago, where he essentially said the art dept was too backed up to go through their archives for images to post. Can any fans who've bought these maybe pick up Paizo's slack and post small images of the map packs on a photobucket (or other similar site) acct? ![]()

Not at all, if they fit what I was running at the time. Of course, you're talking to a guy that has been tinkering with using the Lament Configuration in one of his campaigns (complete with Cenobites!) Ok, well, Ming would have to cover up his chest. That outfit of his is quite jarring, even in its own original source! ![]()
I just don't get the problem. It'd be one thing if they directly adapted one of Lovecraft's stories into an adventure, but just using elements of the mythos such as critters and gods? I mean, do you have a problem with them using Pazuzu and Lamashtu? I understand if its just a "don't care for the mythos" thing, but otherwise, d&d is a hodge-podge of many culture's myths and legends. Using Azathoth is no different than 99% of the other things you see in d&d (in fact, its an easier pill to swallow since Lovecraft encouraged use and re-interpretation of his mythos.) ![]()

Yes, I would like some input from staff. I had thought the gazeteers were mostly player-friendly. Now they release these. Seems like far too much overlap, especially when you consider they still plan on releasing a setting book. Please Paizo, I'd hate to see Golarion become another Scarred Lands. ![]()

Thanx! I like putting it closer to the Eye! So tempting! ![]()

Indeed. I haven't let my players see the covers as we play, nor have I told them anything but the path title. I want to have full control of any spoiler leakage for my campaign. And I do leak things as a way to build interest for future parts, but I do it on my own timeline. Easter eggs, are cool, as long they they don't drop big spoilers. In fact, they will help make everything come together as a seamless world. In closing, I do hope in-between path spoilers are kept to a minimum as we are rotating dm-ing them as well. Thank you, James for your pledge to keep a lid on 'em. ![]()

No, your work in Lords was fantastic! I was referring to the actual physical look of the aboleth, which has never looked all that hot. I want a re-design of their look... ![]()
Been having a bit of trouble with this too, at least the big number of 10,000 years, which is quite a long time for a worlds development ( I am reminded of the awful Forgotten Realms timeline that just seems like random numbers thrown out there because if its size.) I have been contemplating more of a leaning to the Leng/Far Realms elements as a twist to the backstory. Maybe Thassilon as described is indeed a memory, but what if its the memory of a far older, otherworldly race/society (10,000 years is quite different in their perspective, perhaps, more feasible.) What if its discovered that the ruins now found and explored, can have been confirmed to not have existed even say, 5 years ago. Makes the "Rise" in the title stand out a little more, rising not from the past, but from another place entirely unknown to use. You could go a lot of places with this... ![]()
Love the art in the bestiary. GO KEV!
Just skimmed, so don't know the big bits yet, but Karzoug looks like a worthy end of campaign opponent, maybe still needing a little something else (prob just me, as I like to personalize most npcs mechanically a little.) I was hoping for more visuals of Xin Shalast's crystal towers...I also hope it does indeed live up to the "ancient lost city" feel alluded to in the forward. One minor complaint - like many other volumes, this one uses a lot of the same critters throughout. Yes, its the easiest part of an adv to change (and I do it a lot anyways,)but I'm hoping to see more variety in future paths... Ok, maybe two - I could've done without the mountaineering article (should have just been a sidebar or so.) Again, the art is perhaps the best of all the Rise volumes, imo (only lacking pic is the yeti/snowman.) ![]()
I would love to see some shorter adv paths. I simply don't know how many full paths I can sustain, and I imagine there is a significant amount of subscribers who might echo similar thoughts. I do understand that this is more of a risky proposition for Paizo, as 6 volume paths most likely result in subscribers staying the full course. I also imagine you guys will be looking at the second path's numbers to see how many stick around and how many drop before you can consider things like shorter paths. But please do consider! ![]()

I could be down for that. I just haven't really dug any of the GM modules as of yet. I'm just worried that, before too long, the amount of 6-adv paths I have on my shelf that are not in play directly influences my justification for 17.99/month. You can only run so many full campaigns. Just food for thought. ![]()
I have a player who is a member. I just let him start out as such (he joined our group at 4th lvl.) I am considering taking the Seekers affiliation from Savage Tide and changing it up a bit to fit as a Pathfinder affiliation. However, I still need to know more power groups in Golarion to make full use of the affiliation system, so it might be awhile. ![]()
I don't mind going to other planes, but please keep it minimal. I do want to take a trip to Golarion's moons, however! Also, let me put in a request for some shorter adv paths, say, 3 parts or so. This would likely be a better method to display any off-world adventures, (and besides, I think many groups will tire of the same old lvls 1-15 paths in the long run.) ![]()
I'm in the same boat, Mogney. I'm running Rise, while one of my players is going to be running Crimson Throne. I'm avoiding the obvious spoilers by refraining from visits to the Crimson boards, but still some small spoilerish bits have leaked in on these boards about Crimson, and there are little tidbits (PF2 has a mention of one of the organizations dealt with in CT.) Also avoiding reading any individual issue blurbs,as they kinda give too much away, too soon. Gonna hafta avoid the preview in PF6 as well. I hope some cosideration can be given towards these ends, even though its unlikely (at least, no CT or other path spoilers in this board, or at least label them path-specific.) I know they have to preview the next path in the PF books, though. ![]()

What if WE don't want to make the switch and you're already geared up for a 4th ed Second Darkness? After keeping up with current leaks on 4e development, I suspect that conversion to (or from) the 4e rules will not be hard at all. Either way, I'm so stoked for the third path, whatever rules set it uses, or I'm using (in spite of the samey-same drow being included!) ![]()

Ditto on all counts. I don't care for a majority of the monsters thus far in Pathfinder, as they're not particularly interesting (I've liked one or so per volume.) I also groan (as do my players) on the overuse of particular monsters. It may be realistic in the module, but its boring to face the same thing over and over. Also, let's have some more selection in creature types (I know they wanted to be cautious in the first path, but let's push the boundaries a little bit. More 3rd party monsters can help here.) ![]()

Haven't seen the August films, but I'm a longtime fan of gore cinema. Everything from Fulci's Zombie (anything 70's or 80's with zombies,) to Cannibal Ferox (and most other 70's cannibal films,) to Guinea Pig series, to Red Room, to Men Behind the Sun, etc... ![]()

Well, you're making a decision for yourself and your son, and not deciding that no one needs to view the image. Perfectly acceptable, its what parents do. I should also add that its not horror films that inspire this sort of phenomena, but those depicting homosexual relationships, or scantily clad folks.
