Brutal Ben's page

I just got mine today, and all I can say is that its completely worth it.

The beginner box is truly the best in gaming! Easy even for kids to get started.

I still remember watching Dorkness Rising on Netflix. It ended up being one of my favorite independent films.

Even if you don't have much to spare or didn't like the movie as much as I did, I would still recommend at least giving a dollar to help out with people who care about our hobby enough to make a true movie out of it.

I don't care what anyone thinks! This is so worth it!

In case your on the fence. Reaper is planning to build brand new manufacturing equipment to build these in the USA!!

Its every patriotic American RPGer responsibility to join into this!

I have a Fire specialist wizard for Pathfinder Society.

For Pathfinder Society Spell Focus replaces Scribe Scroll.

Do I have to have Spell Focus as my bonus feat ,or can I have Elemental Focus instead since I'm a fire elementalist?

Has anyone notice how nice the Pathfinder Bestiary is for people who come over? I've been keeping mine by the coffee table, and people always check it out when they stop by. I even find myself looking it over constantly, because its so awesome to look at all the cool illustrations and read the descriptions of different types of monsters, many of which are familiar to most people.

If the second Bestiary is layed out as good and has excellent artwork, I will have another book to add to my coffee table collection.

Free RPG Day is coming this June.

I wanted to throw out a suggestion that Paizo publish an advertisement sponsered free quickstart version of the Pathfinder Rules.

The less than 100 page handout would have quickstart rules for using pregenerated characters and would include a short adventure which would take the characters up to third or maybe even fourth level.

At the back of the handout I would have a subset of Paizo's catalog that would include core products and current adventure paths and modules.

The handout itself would have adds from various vendors and other partners to help cover its costs.

The goal of this product is to help introduce new people to traditional RPG games and to provide them with a sense of direction if they want to move further in the hobby.

I spent part of the day converting the Groaning Spirit (from Tome of Horrors revised edition) from 3.5 rules to PFRPG.

Here's what I ended up with:
