Will there be online supplements for Pathfinder similar to the Dungeon Magazine online supplements?

I hope so!

We make extensive use of the digital art and player maps with tabletop projection.

In fact, I find these digital supplements valuable enough pay extra for...

From the Panicked condition entry:

"If cornered, a panicked creature cowers and does not attack, typically using the total defense action in combat."

From the Cowering condition entry:

"The character is frozen in fear and can take no actions."

This seems contradictory. Is the use of the word "cowers" in the panicked condition entry simply descriptive, or as a game term?

Any official word?

From the Swim skill description:

"You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution score, but only if you do nothing other than take move actions or free actions."

From the drowning rule entry:

"Any character can hold her breath for a number of rounds equal to twice her Constitution score."

Which is it? Con rounds, or Con x 2 rounds?

Any official word?

From the Dretch monster entry:

"Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day—scare (DC 12)... Caster level 2nd."

From the Scare spell entry:

"Targets: One living creature per three levels"

Does that mean a Dretch can target zero living creatures?

Any official word?

It seems that one of the primary purposes of these boards is to serve as a conduit for constructive criticism. Here are some online resources to help those folks that want to offer their opinion without looking like an ass:

- The Diplomatic Critiquer
- How to Give and Take Critique
- Critiquing Tips

Something that we used to good effect in my college photography critiques were rubrics. Here's an example I found for assessing artwork. Perhaps this site could use an online form modeled after something like this to assist contributors and critics alike.

I know it would be a big job, but electronic player maps and visual aids would be a big boon!

I'd happily pay for this one.

What campaign setting are you using (or planning to use) for Age of Worms?

I think I'm going to use Eberron.

Phase searching would be a great feature for the site. I just did a search for "faceless one" and got a lot of results that had nothing to do with the faceless one. I started by searching "Everything" but found what I was looking for by narrowing my search to the messageboards.

I'm thrilled and amazed that Paizo staff and contributors take the time and expend so much effort listening and responding to their readership through these message boards. It's a testament to their commitment and enthusiasm.

I'm equally appalled by how much time, effort, and emotional energy is misspent on people who contribute nothing but vitriol and condescension.

Paizo, please... If a post isn't constructive, disregard it. If a poster is a whiner, filter him out. Don't waste your time on rancor. There is no value in it.

Ignore lists on these boards would be a great boon to us all.
