With all due respect, Aubrey (and that is a lot of respect), I don't see that happening. You're asking that no one use the name of the two major villains of the first adventure in the title of any post - and that, quite frankly, would make discussing that adventure all but impossible, never mind what comes along later. I really sympathize with your situation, but I can't think that it's a viable choice.

A better solution might be to try to persuade the Paizo powers-that-be to split the forums into GM and Players subforums, and try to get all the spoiler-laden posts, titles and all, into the GM section. Then it would be on your players' heads if they wandered into the wrong section of the boards...

This is more sound IMHO. It's because of this reason I won't surf the Curse of the Crimson Throne threads since I'll switch and be the player for a change, and I forbid my player from scanning the RotRL threads. Having AP's split between "DM" and "Player" sections would be an ideal solution as Shisumo mentions, and I would urge for such a resolution.

Most foul to discuss cancellation on Erik Mona Day, how blasphemous and other nasty adjectives, surperlatives, and relatives!!!

Even if my players never go there, I've savored the details of other parts of Golarion. I can add in these brief snippets as I need them and make the players feel immersed in a vast, exciting place full of adventure and danger.

I particularly loved how the recent entry detailed Kaer Maga enough for me to use as a city I can take my players through should they visit. It felt very much like the main city from the movie "Blood of Heroes." Very tasty.

Any chance of a random weather table for Varisia in this one?

I second this. Not that I need a table, per se, but I would love to get a sense, at least, of overall climate patterns per region per season (what areas get monsoon-like weather, arid areas, snow, frequent fog, magical/ unusual weather, etc.).

With that said, an encounter table would also be handy.

A lack of these wouldn't keep me from buying it, but it would make the joygasm more climactic.

So are these all AP's then, AP's with some fluff, or all fluff about the region?

(Personally, it doesn't matter to me, but the more fluff will make it re-usable for our gaming.)

Madre de Dios!

My nipples explode with delight!

My hovercraft is full of eels!

As far as 4e vs. 3.5e, I think that'd depend how much of the 256 pages are fluff, and how much are crunch. Bring on the fluff for me!

Happy Erik Mona Day!!!

Namaste from DarkArt.

I think today should be a global celebration!!

Nothing compares to Paizo!!!!

What if you only sent them to people with Pathfinder Subscriber next to their name? That way you'd be sure that you were only giving them to people who had already paid for the material.

I'd love copies, btw. :D

True, those with "Pathfinder Subscriber" would indicate they are pathfinder subscribers, but I wouldn't think just having blank maps would ruin the series. My wife's account with which the Pathfinder was subscribed to will not show when I choose to post using my own account profile, and I'm the one running the games.

I'm doing the same with my wife. She's playing all four pre-generated characters. We don't have much time, so we stopped just after the battle with the last goblin invaders. That horse slicer was brutal and fun. Her characters were having an absolute cake walk until then. I just managed to roleplay Alden Foxglove's gratitude, and that feels like it will go as intended. So far he comes across as sincere with just a touch more attention given to the ladies. I can't wait to run the Red Dragon Inn and boar hunt.

I would consider helping out PC's if someone had ranks in religion to anticipate the use of such spells (or mention the Domain). I'm considering this only because I'm playing with inexperienced players. They're cautious, but everything is new to them, and they don't otherwise know what to expect. The main fighter in my game has two swords anyway, neither are special, and one use will instill much wisdom for later.

I agree not to be overly worried about the grenade happy rogue, anyway. Granted, the spell can be used in a general "let's play the game of battleship" approach, but I'd wager that a caster will first try it only on obvious threats, or something visually obvious that will improve the battlefield in the caster's favor.

I have a more practical reason: I want to know more about Sarenrae because Kyra worships Her, and my player has selected to play these pre-generated characters. Lamashtu and Desna would be my personal preference outside of my player's knowledge since they seem like opposing and interesting deities.

I already know enough of Asmodeus from my own delving into religion and the numerous supplements from D&D.
