I'm posting here to congratulate John Johnson on getting his his 4th star. He runs games nearly every week at a local game store. While he typically runs games elsewhere, I know he has never left me hanging when I have asked him to judge for one of my game days. The community needs more judges as willing to judge as he is.

Good Work John!

How many undead can you transport in a type 4 bag of holding?
In our legacy of fire campaign this has come up with our party's necromancer.

In asking I am assuming a mixed bag of zombies and skeletons. Would skeletons be able to cram in tighter due to lack of fleshy bits getting in the way?

I hope this question is at least a little entertaining.

In a game recently, my monk character did a flying leap and grappled a flying vrock. A few possibilities about what happens next came out of this.

1. The vrock falls with the grappler to the ground, both take damage.
2. Since grapple prevents actions with arms but says nothing about wings the vrock is free to try to hover or fly. Since the grappler is not rooted to the ground, but instead in this case rooted to the flying vrock the vrock gets to move using flight as it wishes, but is otherwise hindered.
3. DM Fiat. Actually I am not looking for anyone to offer this. We settled it at the table amicably. I'm looking for actual rules as I judge pathfinder society events very often and prefer run things as correctly as possible.
4. Some other possibility I hadn't thought of.

I'm curious to hear the reasoning of anyone who has a strong opinion of how the works. Please include page numbers for game mechanics in your arguments.

I went to report our most recent game day last night and can't seem to get to the event reporting section. After some time of troubleshooting stuff from my end, I made the phone call to Doug Doug who confirmed that it is down for him as well. The event locater is not working either.
I do NOT expect this fixed during the holiday period. This can definitely wait for a bit. I'm making this post just so that other people who run into the same thing know they aren't the only one.

Reading the armor section i do not notice the usual bit about problems with spell failure. I assume this means that the alchemist does not have this problem. Am i wrong?

After playing many of the PFS mods out there it seems that the faction missions still seem a bit off. In particular the fact that someone in your faction seems to know what little tidbits you should need to do. They seem to unerringly know what you might be confronted with.

I'm proposing to have a third, red herring, faction mission blended in with the other two that are standard. In some cases this red herring assignment could be the actual faction mission on a later mod.

Pros
As I see it mods would be more interesting if you didn't know for sure that you would actually even have a chance to do all your faction missions.

It would more easily allow for multiple fork mod paths that would feel less like mod on rails. There might be one award down each path but still only a total of two out of three possible.

Imagine the joy of finally finding the bronze plated wombat after looking for it as a red herring 5 separate times.

Cons
Mods might play out slower. A problem at fixed length events.

The next game day will be Sunday 10/25/2009. The mods that are being offered are
as follows.
10am #6 Black waters tiers 1-5
10am #25: Hands of the Muted God (tier 5-9)
2pm #13 The prince of Augustana tiers 1-5 ( a personal favorite)
2pm #27: Our Lady of Silver (tier 5-9)

Please let us know if you are coming. We love having brand new players but it does help us to know about how many people will be there so that we have enough judges to run the tables.

I have added a database to help us muster this.

It is my attempt to simulate what i liked about warhorn without the pesky login
process.

Let me say up front that this is not really a Paizo problem. I have found that many of the letter "A" within the pdf's i get are not displayed on screen. The lower case displays fine, but in the bold type of paragraph headings the "A"s are not displayed at all. I am running ubuntu 8.10 and have also been able to reproduce this on Fedora 9.
Is anyone else seeing this? I can live with it if i have to but would prefer to find a solution. I am posting here because the only docs i have seen the problem with are the Pathfinder society stuff.
