Cralius the Dark's page

I've been out of the loop for a little bit. Is there any information on the Jotunborn ancestry?? Are they Large sized? Or just flavor large. The dude on the cover looks BIG.

I admit, Curtain Call isn't for me. But this...this sounds magnificent!

Undying eternal legend? I don't know what it is, but yes, I'll take one to go, please.

Count me in. This whole event is going to be epic for the game world. Novel, Lost Omen, Adventures, and Adventure Paths, etc. Awesome stuff.

Seems like the adventure bits at the end could be fleshed out into a full adventure -- or pair of adventures if you have PCs coming from out of town and PCs who grew up in Sandpoint.

Exactly. I have been preparing Rusthenge for my players. I already had them taking the ship to Sandpoint. Then I read the entry about the Sea Drake in the players guide. Think I will combine the the two and flesh it out.

So I received my latest shipment which contained Treerazer last week. Didn't have a chance to check it out until this week. (I'm moving).

Needless to say I was a little bummed to see it was missing the iconic axe head. He just has a club.

Not sure about what I'm supposed to do.
I haven't opened the box.

Thanks.

B23 The Well.

This might be a stretch, but wouldn't everyone in the room be affected by the gibbering mouthers gibbering aura??
Or at least the ones who peer down the well.

One could argue that the acoustics of the cave and the well shaft itself could affect this, hence the perception check just to hear it. But no matter where the creature is in the pool, it is easily 60' to anywhere in B23.

I wasn't initially looking into this. I was preparing myself because my players rather enjoy lowering people with ropes into pits and such.
That PC is definitely going to hear it and if they fail the save and out of confusion, cut the rope themselves.

Wait...This is talking about the adventure Malevolence, right???
Or am I reading it wrong?
Either way. Absolutely wonderful.

Wow, that encounter almost got my group too. The champion lost his shadow, the sorcerer was down but stable, and the party was split at both ends of the hall. The oracle came through with a final blast that destroyed the shadows.

Off the top of my head, because I didn't think about this. I showed my player the picture and they noted the "business" look. And they haven't explored her office yet. Maybe I'll throw in a faded painting of her to show she was of some importance to Belcorra.

Ultark, Champion of Sarenrae
Sona, Sorcerer

Another 2 notches on the engineers belt.
Swarming stance + crits with Warhammer = bad news.

Although I do have to say, this was a case of dice rolls. Ultark went rounds without rolling above a 10. Meanwhile, I was rolling fire.

Excited to run this one

Me too.

Yes.

Based on your comments, I think it might be what your looking for.
Although I didn't run/play Age of Ashes, I read a lot about it. And I felt the same about Extinction and Agents, no interest.

It doesn't get any more straight forward as a dungeon crawl. Many are saying this should have been the first AP for 2e. I agree.

As for balance. I don't know yet. I am running this one, but my group is only through a couple encounters. Looking ahead there is going to be some tough fights, but not game breaking. At least I don't think so. I should mention there are 5 PCs in my group and I don't make any adjustments to the encounters.
I say check it out. I believe it's the best 2e AP.
Check out the last page of the comment section of the product page for the first book. People were discussing some of the encounters.

Nice. I enjoyed the art in the first volume, so I'm looking forward to that.
But my primary focus is on the encounter with that fine gentleman on the cover. I have a feeling it is going to be real good. (or bad),depending on your perspective. :)

As the PCs walked through Otari, I had some children jumping rope singing a certain nursery rhyme. This sparked questions. One of the players cleric grew up in Otari and told the basic story which I had given her before the game.

Is there a dedicated forum or thread somewhere to discuss these adventures in detail? In particular, for GMs?

I might start running it this weekend and have some general questions.

thanks
yeah thats pretty much how i read it.

After looking at the encounter. He doesn't really need to demoralize anyone.

Hello
My players are about to face off against Hallod this weekend.
Maybe Im over thinking this but I want to get it right.
If Hallod uses his one-two move and crits on the first attack, can he use his dirty trick?? If so, is the target flat-footed for the push or shove (which does nothing) or Flat-footed for the second attack of the one-two?

Thanks.

Also, I think its kind of strange that Hallod does not have intimidate. He seems like the perfect guy to use demoralize.

Funny. I was looking up this very question because of the Shocking Grasp spell.
Actually it is in the rules.
Page 276. under damaging armor.
it is listed under leather FWIW

Hello. i have updated my payment method, but i cant find the order to push it through. at the time it contained Age of Ashes 4 and the character guide. The next time I saw it, Age of Ashes 5 was added.

It should be good to go now.

Can you please cancel my Pathfinder Pawns subscription?

thank you

So I see this order is pending. Is it still possible to change the payment option?

I changed it on the subscription page, is that just for future orders or can that be applied to this one?
Thanks

Hello customer service.

Finally got around to opening my S&S game unaware of the missing card problem that has plagued some. I went about prepping the game and realized I was missing a lot of cards. One of the decks.

I seem to be missing:

Locations
Scenarios
Base Adventure
Henchman
Villains
Ships
Character tokens
First half of the monsters
(Bilge spider-rat swarm) I believe.

Thanks.

Any last minute speculations? I didn't bother looking on the reaper forums.

Is reaper going to hit us again with 200+ medium-sized minis? Count me in no matter what, but how many fighter types with a sword do we need?

I guessing they're going to do something different. And I'm focusing on the word 'bigger' on the flyer.

What say you?

Really digging this so far. Some of these will make an appearance very soon in my campaign.

quick note: The bookmarks are still labeled Mythic Demons!

Picking this up when I get home from work (6:00 pm ET)

Minor question. Is there any artwork in this one or is it all crunch like the monster line?
No matter, just curious.

With all of these getting sent to layout, I feel as though we are about to get hit with the many shot feat.

Thanks a lot. I'm riding around on my forklift all morning yelling this.

We certainly do like buying direct! We look forward to adding you to our ever-growing army of the unde--- I mean buyers! :)

Hey! I resemble that remark.

This is crazy but kinda fun.

Are there enough group spells that can be cut down to get to 447?

Like summon monster isn't 9 spells but just one. Same goes for natures ally, protection from, beast shape, etc. First thought is no. Just thinking of anything.

I'm hung up on the schools of magic 'giving' you 447.

New class?
New school of magic?
Its something new, that's all I can gather. Heh heh.

What the deuce!!??

Unless you start putting out stuff like Ultimate Smurf, you can chalk me up for a pdf/print preorder.

Who am I kidding? I'd buy that too!

Wow, wow, wow.

I only scanned the monsters thru G before I came here to type this. Here's my review:

I have to re-write my whole campaign! Thanks FGG! I mean that as the utmost compliment. Superb!

If anyone comes to this thread who is on the fence about getting another monster book. Get it now. It's that simple.

Hi Dave. I didn't know this was ready for order until I saw your post. I went and pre-ordered, paid with pay pal and clicked on the link and it took me to the file.

I don't know. That a-plus site is always wonky to me. I clicked on my subs and it gives me an error. Plus all my book pdfs are no longer on there as well. The big one is ToHC and I lost the file on my PC. :(

Joseph is obviously British and therefore has a +10 to queuing.

No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last...Oh never mind.

The real story is I live on the east coast U.S. I left the bi-weekly game night around 1:00 AM. We usually stop at 11, but character creation went long. On the way home I was listening to A Dance with Dragons on audio, which I will never do again while driving that late. I could barely keep my eyes open. I stumbled into the house and prepared to shut everything down. One last check at the website and there it was, ready to purchase. What the hey, I decided to send my money at 1:37 AM ET.

So no British, no +10. Just an old gamer who stayed out too late.

Of course you know what this means? All those people, including me, have to try to tackle painting the Reaper Bones Cthulhu.

Any word on Cold Mountain? I assume there was a delay.

Just noticed RA sub 2 is ready for download.

Razor Coast, Rappan Athuk!! My eyes are burning!!

Is it possible for the next Grimoire to top the previous one? I say YES.
Keep 'em coming.

I'm here in northern Delaware. Right now we are getting a break with light rain and wind. In the next few hours the storm is going to hit with high winds. Got a generator ready for the fridge at least, if we lose power.

I love the players guide. I'm using it a little differently. I didn't hand it out whole-cloth to the players, I'm using it to cheat at DM'ing a little. As they meet people in Zelkors Ferry I steal descriptions and dialogue from the guide to make the place come alive. So far they have seen one of the badly drawn maps and they thought it was funny. It really drove home the point that they weren't getting any meta-help with this adventure. It was a nice touch.

I plan on taking a different approach. I gave it to my players to read, take notes, eat the darn thing, whatever. And on the other side, I'm not going to read it at all. The information is for them provided by NPC's. They use it how they wish.

As far as everything else. A+ across the board. I can't wait to really dive into all the books. (PDFs are hard on my eyes). 7B is just...well...wow.

I do have a couple minor issues. The pages of my print copy of the Pre-Gens sticks out almost a 1/4" below the bottom of the cover. Obviously not a FGG problem, but a printing (stapling) error. No big deal.

Remember when you were a kid and your mom always said "Stop playing with your dice"? Did we listen? Heck no.

OK, maybe that didn't happen. But most gamers play with their dice. Stack em nice and neat, put all the maxes on top, make a dice tower, etc. Saturday, my friend was doing just that and noticed the Orcus on the black dice is facing a different direction then the white and red. Go ahead, get your dice out and check. I'll wait. Again, not FGG.

Note: This is not really a complaint, just my attempt at humor and pointing it out. Though I may have scarred some of those with OCD when it comes to their dice.

Great job Frogs. Looking forward to Razor Coast.

The article "How to Make a Villain" in the first book gives guidelines on allowing Anti-Paladins and Barbarians. All the classes are covered in some way. Except the naughty Paladin.

I must say I was one of the many who purchased Way of the Wicked this weekend.

I remember seeing Knot of Thorns on store blog. I checked it out and and put it on the back burner. As time went on I kept seeing the next chapters coming out and the posts adding up on the message boards. With that I revisited the product and began reading through the reviews. Done deal.

Congratulations to Fire Mountain Games. Excellent Product. Looking forward to much more.

Thanks to the many reviewers (the one above me for sure). Forget fancy advertising and such. Word of mouth is what sells.

It was mentioned somewhere in this thread. They (FMG) can't use the official Hellknight orders, just the class. So Order of the Brand is Garys creation. Not sure, but something like that.

Argh. Im at work also. Funny thing is, everyone else just got sent home. Machine is down, but I have to stay. Curse you, supervisor position.

Between the thread title and the original post, I'm confused. If a group believes there is an issue with a particular rule in the book, they house rule it. Isn't that being creative? Imaginative? I don't think the issue is with the specific house rules themselves, which some have decided to share, it's whether you are a slave to those rules, or the core.

ImperatorK: Yikes. Spoilers, broseph, not quotes.

Don't know why, but that statement makes me laugh.

When I GM, I love situational modifiers. I don't mean just giving people a +2 on X roll because of favorable conditions or whatever. I mean, giving an entirely new or a very heightened effect for clever thinking and/or good planning.

Example:

** spoiler omitted **

YES! These are the kind of things I expected to see in this thread. Not letting the rules (house or core) bog the game down. Here's my example which is the direct opposite of Vendis'

In a game the other day, the Fighter, torch in one hand and weapon in the other, entered a room. Inside were two baddies standing in front of a bed getting ready for battle. Instead of dropping the torch at his feet, the Fighter wanted to throw it onto the bed.
What happened?
Game stopped. GM looked in the book for 5 min about throwing improvised weapons, AC, squares, etc. Then rolled d% with some made up number for the thing to catch fire. Whatever. Forget the damn book. How much fun would it be just to say "OK you throw the torch on the bed and it lights up right behind them."?
Done.

@ Greg,

When I clicked on your link I never got to the free download site. It was a blog about the Kickstarter RA project. Could it be that something happened to it? Or was I looking in the wrong place? Or possibly 2 years behind the times? I have the hardcover and am waiting on the PDF to be uploaded. I guess it could be that I already have the map you originally posted about. In that case all I can say is, "OOOPS!"

Same thing happened to me. Took me to the home page but couldn't go anywhere else. Don't use the link. Go to the Frog God homepage by itself. Go to products. Click on the Slumbering Tsar, and there it is.

Omen - Battle Cry

Rainbow - Rainbow Rising (Tarot Women and Stargazer, anyone?)

SWEET!!
Although reading the press release, I guess FGG didn't have access to the old modules. I always thought they did for some reason. Now I guess its official. No matter, the fans win!!

I was thinking next week, but I got home from work and BAM!! There it was on the step. #220 in DE.

All I can say is... WOW!

I like it. I might have to check these out. I was thinking trading card sleeves, while bigger, there would be fewer slots per page. I like this idea better. Thanks for sharing.
