HUZZAH!!!

I've finally found a 2nd hand copy - for £2, which is more than I wanted to pay, but Quality doesn't come cheap. Now, at last, I have the opportunity to share the Rapture with everyone at paizo.com, whether they like it or not.


Who better to solve your personal dilemmas than GoatToucher?

I'll start.

Dear Uncle GoatToucher,

I am experiencing an unacceptable level of shrinkage and cracking when using Fosberg brand silicone sealant in higher than usual temperatures. What should I do?

Yours,

Embarrased Hairy Thing

Ladies and Gentlemen of paizo.com,

I Write to you as a part of my Spiritual Dutief af a Prince of The Church, for it cannot have Efcaped your Notice, as, indeed, it has not Efcaped Mine, that this Electronical Almanack, or News-Sheet, is Sorely Lacking in Genteel and Civilifed Converfation, for while there is an Entire Day where Guttersnipes, Drabs and Slubbergullions may Ape the Barbarous Jargon of thofe Villainous Defpoilers of our Ocean Commerce, namely, the most Scoundrel-like, Beaftly and Abandoned PYRATES, a Time set Aside for Gentlefolk of Quality to Difcuss fuch Topics as may Enlarge their Understandings, promote Amity, Concord and Moral Uplift and Refresh their Parts after an Arduous Day tending to the Management of their Estates, or Labouring in the Service of their Most Christian Monarch, is Notable by its Absence, as opposed to fuch Noisome Cloaca as FawTl, where the Very Dregs of Grub Street would Blush at the Lewd and Seditious fentiments are Hourly Hawked Wholesale to an Unsuspecting and Horrified Publick.

Although I am Aware that you can Drive a Horse to Water, but not Make it Drink, I hope that my Small Seed will grow into a Mighty Oak, for, indeed, it is the Task that is Never Started that takes Longest to Finish, and a Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss.

Indeed, though I hope my efforts will Bear Fruit, I would not be at all Difpleafed if they prove Unneccessary, as, unfeen and unheard, Gentility oe'rfpreadf us all with her Snowy Wings of politeffe and I see that I am merely Teaching my Grandmother to fu

Bleff my foul, the Bell for Evensong tolleth and I must Away.

Your Devoted Servant,

Beazley.

1,068 pages of fairly small text (not including handy biog of Sexey Ayn and exposition of the principals of Objectivism) is going to be a bit of a slog, so to motivate myself, every time I pass a significant milestone, I'm going to blow a fanfare on the bugle and note down any comments I have here.

Hey, you!

Yes, you!

Are you Captain Yesterday?

No?

Yes you are.

And this is the place for YOU!

A place to discuss how great it is to be a Captain Yesterday!

To tell everybody how your troubles were so far away!

To swap makeup tips!

To topple cows - and kingdoms!

Come one, come all! The price of one admission is your mind!

Q: Why do people put makeup on their ears?

A: 1) So their ears are the same colour as their face is, if they've really been to town with the foundation
2) To conceal unsightly ear-warts
3) What could be more attractive than bright scarlet ears, or Sultry Night-Mist Mauve, or Seafoam Siren Sparkle, if you prefer?


Making a note of the tunes/songs that are buzzing around and around my brain in the hope that they'll go away.

Today:

'Move Your Body. Move Your Body Real Close To Me'. Just those two lines, and I have no idea what the song's actually called

And

The theme tune to Dogtanian and his Muskerhounds.


This thread was supposed to be called The <<DO NOT ANNOY KAJEHASE>> thread, but, well, fat fingers. Could you change it, please?

Don't do it! It's against the rules, and if you do, he'll row across the sea and discover your continent or loot your monastery!

So, this is where you can hereby solemnly swear not to do something - anything! - to annoy Kajehase.

For example, I hereby solemnly swear never to call him a Norwegian.


Anyone who's seen the fantastic Sci Fi epic 'Space Mutiny' may know what I mean. What we do, MST3000 style, is think up suitable names for the burly two fisted hero, like so:

SPAM CHUCKRUMP
BLAST OXGLANDS
BRASS RUBDOWN

and so on. Try to match it to the poster above if you like.


A great man, unjustly swept under the carpet by the fickle steamroller of public opinion. Pumpy Narkwell Airport has been replaced by a fibreglass pig. The Narkwell spatula has been superseded by more modish but less functional designs. You can search supermarkets the world over without finding a single Pumpy Biscuit on sale.

Worst of all, despite months of public protest and strong representations by Dame Judi Dench, ex-Prime Minister Spencer Perceval and Cosmo, Huddersfield Town FC have taken away the statue of Pumpy that used to stand proudly outside the John Smith's Stadium and had it melted down in order to make their chairman an extra pair of bronze horns! I would go on, but I'm too upset.

Hopefully, you feel as strongly about this as I do - if so, please pledge your support to the Reinflate Pumpy campaign here

Wonderful rate of additions!

5/5

Moving from 1e to 2e, one concern is always a drastic drop in content but Paizo has worked to tackle that concern tirelessly.

The new classes are quite different than their predecessors but still hold onto that class fantasy quite well. They may be the biggest draw but somewhere else truly shined, in my opinion.

Versatile Heritages are an absolute blast to use and incorporate into play. There was always the blurb in 1e where you could have Planetouched Non-Humans but this takes it to 11! The variety it has added by being compatible with all races and having mechanical effects is wonderful, and allows for easy expansion in the future! It makes me have countless character ideas and gives me no worry about being unique.

Looking forward to every book. I still play 1e as it is the first system I dove completely into (started with 3.5) and probably always will but 2e is a pure upgrade in my eyes.

Jumps Right In

4/5

This book wastes not time getting to the armory of new choices.

Basics: This is not a fluff book. Page after page of new weapons and equipment. Also has some equipment for casters at the end as well.

Mechanics: A plethora of new weapons and equipment should prove useful for everyone in some aspect. Alchemical Power Components add a new layer to casting by adding effects while also having a useful item in hand.

Theme: It is an armory but a specific theme is absent. However there is enough variety to find themes within the book. Specifically the Syringe Spear is one I am fond of for an alchemist.

Execution: It forgoes fluff to dive straight into the item descriptions and stat blocks. For this type of book it works.

Summary: A supplement of items and interactions. A simple yet useful addition to a collection.

A Name That Speaks For Itself

5/5

This book is about Orcs from cover to cover and that is a good thing!

Basics: This book covers history, culture, locations, subraces, and combat options.

Mechanics: Many options are viable and it also includes one of the most popular Sorcerer bloodlines out.

Theme: What can I say other than it nails the Orc theme!

Execution: The format is easy to follow as it introduces you to Orcs before explaining the various aspects then gives you the mechanical choices.

Summary: This book simply delivers on the premise. A must have for most Orc or Half-Orc characters. Also if you want to flesh out Orcs in your campaign.

Interesting Read with Un-interesting Options

3/5

Basics: This book is all about the aspects of melee combat and on that premise it delivers.

Mechanics: There are some fantastic options mixed in with a lot of poor options that will not fare well. Feats are important choices and most of these feel like they are better suited for an NPC.

Theme: This is where it shines giving you ways to bring melee combat alive if you don't mind toning down the power level or taking niche options. The new weapons inside are my favorite part especially the Orc Skull Ram.

Execution: It was unbalanced but shined in some examples with weapons and combat styles.

Summary: If you know there is content in this book you want your character to use pick it up. Choices can be sub-optimal or niche so diving in to explore may result in a less than stellar experience with this thematic piece.

Starspawn was a thrilling ride.

4/5

This was the first Pathfinder Tale I had the pleasure of reading and it was very enjoyable.

Good:
-The action portions are paced well and really pull you into the action.
-The main characters were likeable and were developed well. Had flaws, etc.

Bad:
-The secondary characters are not fleshed out enough. Forgettable at times.
-Pacing between big plot points can start to lag.

Verdict:
The good parts were great and the bad parts were forgotten once you get back into the action. Jendara are her crew were a diverse lot that made me interested in their fates and the previous book in their story. The story pulls you in and the stakes are high as they deal with a threat to all of Golarian.
