A Song on the End of the World
BY CZESLAW MILOSZ

On the day the world ends
A bee circles a clover,
A fisherman mends a glimmering net.
Happy porpoises jump in the sea,
By the rainspout young sparrows are playing
And the snake is gold-skinned as it should always be.

On the day the world ends
Women walk through the fields under their umbrellas,
A drunkard grows sleepy at the edge of a lawn,
Vegetable peddlers shout in the street
And a yellow-sailed boat comes nearer the island,
The voice of a violin lasts in the air
And leads into a starry night.

And those who expected lightning and thunder
Are disappointed.
And those who expected signs and archangels’ trumps
Do not believe it is happening now.
As long as the sun and the moon are above,
As long as the bumblebee visits a rose,
As long as rosy infants are born
No one believes it is happening now.

Only a white-haired old man, who would be a prophet
Yet is not a prophet, for he’s much too busy,
Repeats while he binds his tomatoes:
There will be no other end of the world,
There will be no other end of the world.

Indian Jones seems like he would have these skills

Thank you Berik!!

#12 Bundle 3: Holiday GM Tools Bundle— Would be awesome, the Puddlings sound fun

I would remove SLA's and other things that allow you to access the prestige classes earlier than intended. Perhaps make it a rule that you cannot access prestige classes until level 5

I ran this at a con and it took about 7 hours with a 6 player group

3/6 About Half
But 100% Bard :)

1)Ronald 7 Paladin 3 Archaeologist Bard
2)Barenzo 7 Bard
3)Ro-Shack 6 Bard(Sound Striker)
4)John Talor-Thomas-Thompson 3 Oracle Lore/1 Bard
5)Moogly 1 Bard(Street Perfomer)Illusionist

Concil Of Theifs Ap
9 Bard(Lotus Geshia)/1 Sorcerer(Fey Bloodline)Enchantment Geisha

Frost fir's would be good for the enchanted forest

Playtested again with a skald last night lvl 6 this time.
Class is fun although i still will say that it feels like a bard archetype, than a hybrid

i think the class needs more incentive to get into melee right now as it stands w/ d8hp + only proficient in light armor/bard weapons, is not alot of incentive to get into enemies faces.

I have suggested the magic being dropped before in a previous post, but seeings as spell-casting is something the dev's want linked to the class, why not make it Devine w/ its own spell list?
Or make it where skalds don't have a spell failure chance in medium armor
that way they could have medium amor proficiency and have more incentive to go in and smash face

Due to financial hardship, I need to cancel all of my subscriptions ASAP. Thank you very much.

While i like the idea behind this class, as a bard fanatic i do have to admit that this class seems more like a bard archetype than a real bard/barbarian hybrid, my suggestions/ideas

1)Drop Spell casting
2) Increase Hd to D10
3) Full BAB
4)Change Weapon Prof/Medium Armor
5)Keep RageSong(add new song at 6th to replace spell kenning)
6)Keep Bard Skills/Knowledge

A mix of the Martial properties of the Barbarian w/ the Support/skills of the bard

Maybe even keep in spell keening that would make it more epic ie the non caster pulls some spell out of nowhere

Thank you Sara/Erik/Justin. If it doesnt arrive by the 11th ill let you know.

My real question is. If my package never arrives, I will be sent replacments/store credit correct???

Hello.

My Order #2782792 has not arrived yet and I am terribly afriad it is missing in the Postal Service.

Was Mailed out 9/24/13, According to Tracking Info should of arrived 9/30/13. Tracking has it arriving in my hometown of Sacramento 9/28/13. I am a subscriber and it usally takes 4 days max for the packages to arrive (and once they are shown in Sacramento they are usally here in a day or 2, its been 4)

Technially the 8th bussiness day is Friday 10/4/13.

What do we do from here?

Can you please explain to me what happens if the package never arrives?

This was a substantially large order for my pay range , and quite honestly is causing me tons of anxiety. Please Help!!

Interesting.

I can see why a photocopy would not be allowed, but I wonder why a PDF version would not be. Assuming of course it has “your” name on the watermark.

As far as i understood it, a watermarked PDF is allowed

An Hardcover Book on Absalom or Deities Would be sweet

Someone mentioned Ultimate Society that is an awesome idea as well

Imo one big part of the problem of power creep and optimizers is Herolab
There are alot of players who exclusivity use Herolab at my FLGS. Programs like these make it way to easy to optimize, and usually when these players are audited dont own 100% of the supplements that have the rules.
I am not sure of a solution to this though, maybe a banning of herolab or a faster/easier system for auditing characters

They are doing something similar with Mythic Adventures, coming out this fall

Info Here

found items specific to the item

only the item listed on the Chronicle sheet

Currently playing Council of Thieves and it is alot more about improving a corrupt city that thieving/conning. So i dont think it is what you are looking for.
A heist/lupin the 3rd/thief type campaign would be awesome though

Deities of Golarion would be awesome, so would A whole book on Absalom and Dragon Empires
