Well, I went through with Order 4219026 and subscribed to both. Both show the wrong starting item - it would be great if you could fix that!

Thank you! I am very much looking forward to Starfinder. :D

Just to be clear - if I order both subscriptions within the next 7 days, my subscriptions (Starfinder Rulebooks and Adventure Path) will start out with the first items, not the 2nd as indicated, correct?

So that means I can't subscribe to it anymore?

Hi!

I was about to subscribe to the Starfinder Roleplaying Game Ongoing Subscription when I noticed that the starting product in the cart had been changed from the Core Rulebook to the Alien Archive?

Shouldn't it be possible to start the subscription with the Core Rulebook? If yes, how do I go about it?

If not, why the heck? It's not like the book is out yet.

For me it's a whole or nothing proposition.

As a long-time FG user I am absolutely thrilled that this is happening. My group has dispersed all over, so all actual roleplaying has to be done online and FG does this nearly as good as a regular game table. Mostly played Savage Worlds and Star Wars with it recently, but this will give me a short cut to finally play my favorite Adventure Paths as I don't have the time to convert them by myself.

Nice work, Doug!

AstaSyneri on the FG forums...

Not thrilled. I'd rather have Paizo work with existing VTTs (personally I prefer Fantasy Grounds 2 - that one already has a very nice Pathfinder component, it just the lacks the official nod, apparently).

IMHO right now there are too many offerings on the table, diverting the scarce money in the niche of a niche, so that they all may fall short in the long run.

Thanks guys, all three posts helped!

Helping Kids out? An incentive for three women players, two of them mothers of little kids, their characters all based around an orphan home.

I can't imagine how that could work. ;-) ;-) ;-).

And of course, since we don't have that much time, we can just play the adventure path and adjust XP. What an easy fix.

Last night we had our first session.

* A caravan guard caught up in a scam and left stuck with a charge for murder (by Gaedren)
* An orphan from the orphan house run by nuns of Cayden Cailean who had lost a friend to Gaedren and who is good at sneaking out of the orphan house (well, now they let her anyway)
* Her best friend from the same orphan house, not as good sneaking, but a lot better at covering the tracks with her magic
* A young acolyte from the temple of Cayden Cailean who had duties in the orphan house before and is mad at Gaedren because so many waifs have turned up missing and presumed dead.

They are still in the fishery, with most of the upper level cleared out.

Most memorable moment:

Hookshanks, previously charmed, comes charging out of an obscuring mist into Yargin's room where the acolyte just tackled Yargin into unconsciousness after he messed up dear fighter Gunter. Gunter is standing with the back to the door and clearly is up for some hurting. Marouka the acolyte shouts a warning and lunges for Hookshanks with her rapier, but it gets caught in Gunter's torn shirt and she more or less ends up helplessly in his arms.

I ask whether he'd like to go for something cinematic and he just continues the motion and whirls around, ready to use his club on the gnome (none of the heroes have armor or decent weapons yet, save the acolyte). But that one is already down, having been knocked out by the acolytes whirling feet.

:D

So, we had a great start and pretty much everybody is looking forward to the next session.

Back to my original plight.

Assuming that playing all adventures provided in CotC it will not be enough xp to get up to par with the required levels consistently.

Are there any additional (low-level) adventures that drop nicely into Korvosa without the need for travel?

Ok. When i tried to answer last night the server went away (at least for me).

All of the groups (except my wife) have never touch an RPG before. They are all 30+ and time is at a premium. I _extremely_ appreciate the idea of an adventure path that gives me as the DM _all_ the information I need at my fingertips, including getting the party together and have an overall story arc that gives me memorable climaxes (story-wise ;-)).

That being said I have a feeling that my future players will need story to make them feel at home (by now everybody is used to new style TV series on DVD that allow you to follow an overall story arc).

While I have heard good things about the Kobold adventure, I feel like its stand-alone nature will make it impossible for me to integrate it into any story arc (it might have been easier for Rise of the Runelord, would it?).

So, with that information, what can I do?

Hi!

After following the Superstar competition my appetite has been whetted and I believe I found a way to start a new group (fellow parents/neighbors who just might be outgoing enough to become good roleplayers ;-)) for some good ole-fashioned D&Ding.

I registered for the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path and desperately look forward to the first product being shipped (looking forward more to the PDF, shipping to Germany is 4d7+8 days. Duh.).

Now, to start with a new (and relatively inexperienced to newbie group), what AP do you suggest I start with? And if it is CotCT, what besides the AP modules would you suggest I need to go along with it? The amount of Pathfinder materials is getting a bit "unwieldly" (lacking a word for "not easy to keep track off anymore").

Thanks for your help,

If you or anybody else, wants to contact me, just write a mail to: leandrachristine at mail.com

Hmm. I am not sure my mails came through. If not, please contact me at reuter at phoenix-interactive.de

Thanks - you got a mail.

Didn't want to distract too much from the topic at hand - but either I am blind or there simply is no PM system on this messageboard.

Thank you for the praise :P

From the looks of your submissions you deserve that :D. Now go all the way!!!

Hi there!

At first I wanted to avoid posting during the voting time, but I just needed to stop by and say that I (really) enjoy the comments and the discussion they spawned.

Hallo!

Eine Stimme mehr hast Du. Die gleichbleibende Qualitaet ist schon fast unheimlich ;-). Ich druecke Dir die Daumen!

Leider scheint es hier keine Moeglichkeit zu geben, Dich zu kontaktieren. Bist Du auf einem der dt. RPG-Foren aktiv? Wenn ja, auf welchem und unter welchem Namen?

Fantastische Gruesse,

Hi!

Sorry this isn't the right place, but there isn't any for this and here it probably does disturb the least amount of readers while still be seen by somebody who can help me ;-).

I have been trying to reach Erik Mona, Jason Buhlman and a few others in charge of the Pathfinder/GameMastery product lines (via the e-mail links posted on this site). I even tried to call but the automated answering machine eventually led me to a dead end.

In here I cannot find any way to send PMs, so it's to open posting :(.

How can I best contact either Jason or Erik in a way that I actually get a response?

Thanks for your help!
