El Fuego's page

Sitting at the airport and just wanted to say how nice it was to see everyone at Paizocon and sit down with so many fellow Pathfinder and ACG players. Thanks to contributing to such a great time.

Unfortunately it looks like it was my last Paizocon. The pending focus on 2nd edition will make my attendance likely moot. I'm simply not ready to switch editions yet. Couple that with this year's disastrous game sign up system, and I think I'll pass.

Thanks for the memories!

Event #2693741

It's the Sunday afternoon "I want my Mummy" Tier 5 ACG special. It was there yesterday, but is no longer showing on my schedule. Wondering what happened. Thanks.

Was trying to load event page to take a look at options for tomorrow's sign ups, but page refuses to load. Seems to be stuck in a loop.

Tried on both latest Firefox and Internet explorer, with cookies on and cookies off.
Turned off adblock software as well. Same result.

Might want to have up and running tomorrow...

Haven't heard anything about a new season of ACG. Is there something coming, or have we reached the end of the guild? Our local chapter reached the end of the Season of Plundered Tombs, and we find ourselves with nothing new to play. Any news would be appreciated.

I'm tired of my physical books arriving destroyed. Your shipping methods lack ability to be tracked to predict arrival. Packaging is very substandard and completely incapable of surviving the mildest of weather.

I don't know what changed, but multiple orders have arrived in damaged, or outright destroyed, condition. This never used to be a problem. I refuse to pay for any more.

Thank you.

Surpised to not see this. I've always enjoyed the sneak peek into upcoming rules and getting to see the Rules team's process in action. And to see how quickly they drive Jason to break out the 'sipping whiskey'. Hopefully there will be one at Gencon.

Re: blog title. Is that a Ranma reference?

Re: the book. Looks really good. It's basically part two of the "let's upgrade the Fighter class" books. A solid follow up to Weapon Master's Handbook.

Surprised that blog title didn't get saved for the eventual witch deck.

There was no place to enter the holiday code when I checked out. Can you look into this? Thanks.

Per Additional Resources, Chain Challenge is now banned as of July 29, 2015. Thought I'd let the other Cavalier players in PFS know. All five of you. :-)

I have upcoming public events for June that aren't showing on the event list. Specifically event 31180 and 62050. Could you check on this?

Thanks!

With the release of the unchained summoner, it stands to reason that many campaigns will convert over to the new version (like PFS did on Monday). Unfortunately, there seems to be a compatibility issue with some of the older material which may require some GM finagling to make them work.

I wanted to start a list of some of the options that don't work with the unchained summoner to give GMs a heads up. And also to hopefully catch the eye of someone at Paizo so they might consider updating this material in a future release. :-)

Potentially Incompatible Archetypes
First Worlder (Inner Sea Magic)
Spirit Summoner (Advanced Class Guide)
Shadow Caller (Advanced Race Guide)
Shaitan Binder (Advanced Race Guide)
Wild Caller (Advanced Race Guide)
Wild Caller (Heroes of the Wild)

Missing Base Forms
Aquatic (Ultimate Magic)

Potentially Incompatible Models (Ultimate Magic)
Aboleth
Behir
Centaur
Chimera
Dragon
Drider
Fey
Genie
Hydra
Linnorm
Merfolk
Shark
Undead

Please feel free to add anything I may have missed to the list. And if someone figures a way to make these work under Unchained, please post your idea!

Thanks!

Trying to enter session for an event from last month (I know, Iknow, but I just found where I put the sign in sheet), and I can't enter two of the players. The system claims their character is the wrong type.

Checking one of the profiles, I noted he hasn't created that character yet (his -3) and designated it one way or the other. The other player hasn't connected an account to the number yet (new player).

Can you look into this? Please let me know if you need additional information. Thanks.

Try not to laugh too much. Purchased Paizocon 2015 Deluxe ticket, and then immediately purchased a Preview Banquet Ticket, completely forgetting I already had one as it was included in the Deluxe ticket price. And didn't notice until checking my card statement several days later. Would it be possible to get a refund on the Banquet ticket? Thanks!

I just got charged for three separate shipments for three subscription items that normally ship together. One item in each shipment. Could you please correct this? Thanks.

Had a chance to run this one low tier (6 players) over the weekend, and had a good time with it. Wanted to point out a few things for future GMs:

1. This is adventure can force players well out of their comfort zone. They won't have access to gear through most of it, unless they break cover. It forces a lot of creative thinking from the players and you.
2. This is a role play heavy scenario. Be prepared to play multiple NPCs, some of which are minimally fleshed out. I don't think combat dice hit the table until hour 4.
3. The first combat at the fortress can be hairy if the PCs don't have their equipment back yet. Encourage them to think creatively on how to retrieve their gear without alerting the entire fortress. And remind them that the portcullis controls are inside the main door, so they can shut the gnolls from the barracks out for a round or two.
4. The last combat isn't too hard for a six person party that has their gear back. Even with the curtains, combat is likely to start outside of close range, which neither bad guy is especially suited for. The high tier looks like it may fair better.
5. I couldn't find it on the map drawing, but the map with the pins and strings is on the south wall next to the desk. Probably because it would be flat on the wall.
6. In the slave quarters, there are two other slaves besides the primary NPC. Neither is described. Be prepared or make something up on the fly if your group is chatty.
7. If the PC's rest overnight before moving to the final room, the scenario mentions the final bad guys get to take advantage of the magic items they locate in the final room. Problem is, there aren't any besides the main quest item.

There's probably more stuff if I can find my notes...

At first level, all gunslingers get Deeds, Grit, and Gunsmith. The Gunsmith ability grants them a battered firearm for free (and a free Gunsmithing feat). Although the Bolt Ace Archetype alters the Deeds and Grit abilities, it is silent on Gunsmith, meaning the ability is unaltered.

Not so much a rules question, so much as an rules oddity. Weird.

Hi!

Just a got some questions on this one.

1. Why was this shipped separately instead of with my subscriptions? I do all my orders this way to save on shipping.

2. Also, never received an email about this when it shipped. Usually get these. Was it because it was a non-subscription preorder?

Thanks,

Brett

Just thinking it would be nice to have a map pack featuring some of the common spells that stick around on the battlefield for a while - Black Tentacles comes immediately to mind. And the horde of wall spells. Blade Barrier. Frostfall. Prismatic Sphere! Heck even Flaming Sphere. There's got to be dozens of spells to chose from. Entangle might require it's own flip mat though. :-)

The map pack could be set up similar to the vehicle pack where certain cards have clearly defined cut lines. You cut the card down to the shape needed to lay it on a grid.

This could potentially be something that's useful for people besides gamemasters. Players might want something like this for their spellcasters who favor area denial.

Just a thought. Feedback appreciated.

Just wondering if we can extend the time you are logged in to the website before need to put a password in again. This is a pain having to input it every time I change threads in the organized play boards.

Also crops up when downloading multiple pdfs. If I turn away from the computer more than a minute, it does the same thing.

If it matters, using Firefox on windows 7 and android devices.

Thanks!
