Can we stop with the neverending skill gauntlets!

If I GM a game for no credit (ie I have already run the game) do I still get to check a GM'd a game checkbox?

So do you find decimalised currency immersion breaking?

1pp = 10gp = 100 sp = 1000cp is nice for us to deal with but has no reflection on what medieval currency would have been like. We adopt decimalisation for convenience.

The same argument could be used for using metric units for distance / weights.

Just because the currency system uses units of ten, dies not make it the metric system.

10 pennies to a Dime; 10 dimes to a dollar; 10 dollars to a 10 dollar bill; 10 x Ten dollar bills to a Hundred Dollar bill, etc.. But that would not support the claim that the US currency uses the metric system. The currency also has Nickels, Quarters, Half-Dollars, Two Dollar Bills, Five Dollar Bills, etc....

I never said it was metric, just that it has no bearing on what a medieval / fantasy currency was like. Pointing out that using a modern (decimalised) currency system is no more immersion breaking that using a modern measurement system (metric).

I do agree that as the US is using imperial / decimalised that is what pathfinder will use. I use metric on a daily basis and have no problem adjusting to using imperial when gaming.

I noticed that alright. It's just something I have been very aware of this last season as the reception in my local store is awful (making prd access difficult) so I've been carting in all the books required.

Having read through it I am looking forward to running and possibly re-running it (the mechanics for that look sound). Reads well so hopefully plays well too. Will post a review after the 7th!

Just bought this and I have yet to run it. I am once again disappointed by the volume of books required to run the scenario (Core Rulebook, APG, ARG, Bestiary 1-4). Seems to be that if I want to run two season 4/5 games at a con or my local gaming store I have to bring half my gaming shelf.

Not to mention that my local gaming store here in Dublin doesn't have Bestiary 4 in stock yet.

I didn't have too much of a problem with the optional or the big bad.

The issue I had was the with trippy pollen field. It just felt completely railroady. The whole thing might as well have been narrated.

Can a small character take a diatryma instead of an Axebeak?

Pretty happy with my halfling cavaliers wolf mount but options are always good.

Interview with William at Gaelcon:

This was recorded before he was made venture-captain. After a stellar showing at Gaelcon it was well deserved. Episode gives a good overview on PFS.

Congrats William. Well deserved after a great Gaelcon (not to mention Qcon).

I'll be in touch shortly as I may be running a game at Dominicon weekend after next.

Thanks for the great games over the weekend, I had a ball. Looking forward to getting some organised play going with my regular group.

I'll let you know when the organised play episode drops in a few weeks time.
