The Core Rule book and the Bestiary are all you really need. So long as you have wifi and a laptop or smartphone, you can look things up on d20pfsrd.com or the archives of Nethis.

There are so many books that you can bankrupt yourself trying to by them all.

I saw a deal via craigslist on some pathfinder books, so I bought Ultimate Combat, Magic, the Advanced Players Guide... They have never once been useful to me as a player. Mind you, I do play a barbarian. Anything I've needed to know has been from reading barbarian build guides on the internet.

Ultimate Equipment does come up a lot in the game I play in, as well as on the boards and internet, and seems like a good buy.

I have a complete SAGA edition collection that I meticulously found a deal on that expensive as hell KOTOR book. ;)

Never played though, but read all of the books. I would be curious to see if anyone has a write up for non battlemap space combat?

Hi guys.

I have an idea rolling around in my head for some time now, about a group of children of adventurers go adventuring. The idea is that they are "trust fund kids" in the sense that the game would start out with them having powerful magic items from the get go. Of course, that is part of the problem since motivation in many a game is predicated on killing monsters, selling the loot, and then upgrading gear.

The idea from a GM point of view - I want to remove that motivation, but I'm not sure what to replace it with. I'm guessing emphasizing role playing and building characters with goals and things that they want to accomplish.

Any other ideas?

I think these criticisms have been around since the days of AD&D. Mutants and Masterminds 3E moved to using just the attribute bonuses.

A lot of it is the nostolgia factor and keeping things like "D&D" for various marketing reasons.
