Less than 48 hours left, to get some of the best terrain there is for RPGs and Wargames, in reduced prices.

Pedion is a Terrain System; a way for wargamers, role-players, and modelling hobbyists to recreate any battlefield* they wish to play on, without sacrificing aesthetics or requiring much room for storage.

We funded in the first 55 hours, and now we keep unlocking Stretch Goals!
There are even some Early Bird deals for RPG board sets, and Gaming Clubs left! Kickstarter Page

The principle of Pedion is that the board will consist of a number of terrain “tiles”, that is, square pieces each depicting specific terrain features: open plains, roads, rivers, forests, hills, crops etc. The tiles are 30x30cm and only 1cm thick (1’x1’x0.4”) and they connect to each other without any restriction on orientation. They are pre-painted with realistic features while still practical for miniature movement and combat. By combining the tiles, the players can form multiple layouts, covering most table sizes. The tiles are very lightweight, durable and take minimal space.
*ped·i·on, noun \ˈpedēən, from Ancient Greek πεδίον (“plain, field, flat surface”), πεδίον μάχης = battlefield

I don't know if anybody/some in this thread have played EVE and have seen its Plex system at work... But (though most people were VERY skeptical in the start) it works... and it is not pay to win (although it does give you an advantage).
This is mostly because in EVE (and I think also in PFO) no matter how much money you have, you still need the respective skills to make good use of any gear you may buy. Therefore you have to commit to the game and improve your character.

Hi!
I'm new to this forum and PF(O), but hardly new to tabletop RPGs and/or MMO games.
That said, here are my thoughts.

Mr Fulcrum's post may well mean a Game Breaker for me, and as far I'm concerned, for many people of like mentality.

As Mr Southraven (edit: sorry Mr NoeWolfen!) pointed out, Mr Fulcrum may have simply roleplayed his character/guild's edict. But I do not think so.
When Role Playing in Forums, it is a customary to add an [[IC]] (in character) Tag, to let people know what you are doing. This is not the case in Mr Fulcrum's post.
(If, by any chance, I'm mistaken and Mr Fulcrum's intentions were strictly in the spirit of RP, then I urge him to clarify)

However, it is my belief that Mr Fulcrum was half-roleplaying/half-intimidating the smaller guilds, justifying future actions in-game on behalf of his Guild and guild mates.

This is, pure and simple, Bullying.
And I hate Bullying.
(and so does Harry Dresden ;) )

I represent a small guild. We are only seven at the time, because we saw the KS campaign quite late, as most of us are of the MMO crowd and not the PF crowd.
Therefore all we had time for was a grab for a guild pack + 1 more adventurer pledge. So it is quite possible that during early enrollment only a small number of my guild will be able to be in game (but more will join when participation opens)
Can you imagine what will mean entering the game, already fearing the shadow of "join us or be constantly harassed" by larger guilds?
As I said: Game-Breaker.

This is a game, not real life. Therefore: If there is a "Stronger eats Weaker" mentality 1,5 year (!!!) before the game even breaths, then I will not try to survive it. I will not try to find a good-aligned Alliance to pay them back.
I will simply leave the game along with my guildmates, and go play my tabletop campaign or/and Neverwinder.

In case you are not aware of it, many of the sandbox ideas of this game come from EVE. EVE online has not flourished so many years because a new, small corporation (Eve guilds) cannot survive for a month.

I'll be frank - from the moment I read the first post and the rest of the thread and the many "evil" comments, I have been thinking about withdrawing the guild and trying to sell the 6 posts. I'm 40 years old. I face to many "I’m stronger than you" challenges in my everyday family/work life, to stomach them in my game.

My point: All you evil, world-eating guilds, rein your horses. Or you will be left alone, fighting each other, in a game of 500 players. Your loss, not mine.

If you read this far, thank you and sorry for the long post
