So... When can we get the books?

And this is why I support Paizo, and not Hasbro WotC

HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!

Just you wait until the Wizard Lawyers come knocking at your door to take away your unauthorized 1E OGL 1.0a books!

<brandishes 1E Core Rule Book> I'll give you my books when you pry them from my cold, dead hands! :p

LOL, Really. Come take away my 1st ed books and stop me from running my game in MY world that s 100% mine

Used to play 1E. 2, 3, 3.5 Never touched 4. Would play Starfinder. Played Star Wars Saga. (been playing since 1979)

Pan, YUP, Been there, done that on Discord

Yes, but looking to meet people who I can try and recruit and play F2F per all the suggestions. Can't do that if they are 1000 miles a way

Looking at the Paizo Organized Play, the only ones in Colorado are 2.3 hours a way, and 1.5 hours away. To far to go

No playing a 5e game. Look at most Roll 20's or Start playing, and you will find DM's charging players to game. It's a business. Figure the money out. DM runs 1 game a day or even 4 games a week. They have 4 - 6players each paying $20 a game. AT 6 players, that is $120 a game they make for 4 hours of DMing. Times 4, $480 a week

It's a racket and prevents me from doing more, in fact, I debate on even that. But to play, I do what I can. And sadly, my husband does not get to play now, as his schedule prevents it and one reason I am looking for players who can do a F2F

I play in a 5E online game, I find it very lacking, not to mention paying $20 a game, and I am not so invested in the game. If it is Online, I won't be DMing. Playing? I would do, if the game captures my interest, and I don't have to keep paying to play, and it is in my scheduled free time.

Pan, looking at Haunted Calendar, none are listed

Pan, I never go there, Where are the PFS games listed? Gryphon had them on meetups

Sadly, no PFS in my area to even consider going to and recruit

(Northern Colorado). Might be some 1.5 hours south, but that is to far

So I have been the DM/GM since I started playing in 1979. I run games. I love to play as well, but I always run games and am willing to run games. But after a while, I do need a little break and need to play a little.

Sadly, the Game Stores in my area are pretty worthless. The one in town closed up (Found a few players there) Two in the city north of me, one will not post fliers, the 2nd runs a meet up that is, well, pretty worthless, and cannot do fliers, and may be closing (Owner not a good business person) and the town 30 minutes east put up a flier, but no reply and fliers he had, when I called those people, I found the fliers to be old and they no longer were in the area or the number was no good.

I understand Pandemic, but this started long before the pandemic (finding players). In my area, seems everyone wants to play 5E and will not give PF1 or even 2 a chance.

In the past, we offered to sit down with anyone, outside of the game at a safe spot to talk.

I know all to well about transphobia and racism, and I am very welcome and open to anyone (as long as they are not criminal) in my groups. One guy we recently lost we found out had a child exploitation record. And the last guy to leave LOVED to talk politics and argue. We asked him to stop and when he said No, and bailed.

I've never been a fan of PFS (not many in my area now days), used to be a lot. The one game store locally has kind of killed that. The other runs only D&D, and the one in the town I lived in closed. The one that runs D&D won't even let us put up fliers.

Very frustrating as we have been trying to find people for a long time, and just not having luck and the group went from 12 to 8, to 6, to 4, to 3, to 2.

Just wondering, why is it SO hard to find players to play face to face with?

I have been looking on Meet-ups, here, Discord, and fliers in game stores (What game stores I have in my area and ones that will let me post fliers.

If I want to play online, no issue, but for the past 3 years I have looked and looked and cannot find people who want to play face to face (When their is no major outbreak of pandemic)

Anyone got ideas, sites that work to find players?

I am in Colorado and SO frustrated!

BTW, prefer PF1 vs PF2 but will play PF2

Looking for a face to face group in the Northern Colorado area. After 14 years, my group has finally broken totally up.

Looking for PF1, but will consider PF2

in the Loveland regions. I have been playing since 1979, my husband since 2006

Thank you. The party recently found a "lost" and forgotten tomb of a king. They have more than enough gold to start a business. But was looking for the what a BP to GP was as I could not find it

My players want to start a business in a town. But the issue is, how much does it cost? There are tons of rules on building, but it involves BP.

How much is a BP in gold? I saw a rule once on a site, but cannot locate it and the cost seems astronomical (An Inn was like 10,000GP which would mean, no one could ever build an Inn.

So, what is the cost in gold of 1 BP be it an Inn, a Blacksmith, Weaponsmith, trader house, tavern, brothel? etc...

Been playing D&D since 1st Ed and the original Errol Otis box cover (79). Played 2nd, 3, 3.5. I walked into a game store, saw Pathfinder. 4th Edition was coming out and my group got into a discussion on if we wanted to stay 3.5, or move to PF. no way we wanted anything to do with 4. So 2 of us bought books, looked it over, and jumped. Not looked back. PF 1e all the way.

%e is OK, not played 2EPF. Still play 1PF

75% chance of success is pretty damn good.

If you had been to a place 1 time, how great of a chance do you have of getting to that exact same location again? I know highly intelligent people that can get lost, not know the direction to get to a place they have drove to several times.

Teleport is a spell used to much as far as I have seen. This is not Star Trek, Beam me Down Scotty every time you want to get from point A to point Z

Anyone have alternate rules for Teleportation?

I find it annoying their is almost no chance of failure using the spell. I have had players in the past that Teleport into a place and out after a simply scrying (This was done by a guy who ran PFS events for Paizo) and almost no chance of failure.

I read someone uses DC check, but even that if you have a player who is Min-Maxing can be hard to stop them always getting to Point A to Point Z with no issue.

I am not against Teleport, just against it being so easy to have no consequences and totally accuracy.

Hi, As I said in the title, my group is looking for Pathfinder 1st ed Players to join our In-Person group in Loveland, Colorado. This is Not online, but sit down, face to face in person

We meet twice a month (usually on Saturdays but will be moving to Sundays for a few months).

We play from 2 - 9 with a supper break.

We are open to other RPG's but Pathfinder 1st ed is our main game.

We want series, dedicated players only who will commit and not just join once in a while when in the mood

Please do not move this to the On-Line Recruitment as it does not belong there

Email if interested at delaneyalysa AT gmail dot com

I am not looking for Online... I am looking for LIVE In Person gamers. How,, and WHY this got moved to online games, I have no Clue. This is for Live, In person Games that I am looking for. Not PFS (Which Honestly, I am not a fan of, But for home brew campaigns.

looking for people who want to sit down, play a LIVE gamer, in person Face to Face in Loveland.

Yeah, Signed up but it points to the Ft Collins Meetup. Zero Luck there finding anyone. it is pretty much useless sight that people create accounts on then do nothing with. The few (and I mean very few) people who we get to respond really are not into a regular game. Most are just drop ins, and no group wants drop ins. Groups want dedicated players who show up on a regular bases.

That was were it was. Someone at Paizo moved it

Looking for 1st Ed Pathfinder players for twice a Month on Saturday from 2 - 9ish campaign.

Many years ago I use TOS. I went to Hero Lab, but since they went to a Pay to use for 6 months model, I may go back to TOS

It was a good product when 1st ed came out, and I am sure it is good with 2nd

My HUGE issue at the moment with HLO is this

When I bought HLC, I got two licences. That meant I had a licence, my husband had a licence. I bought two more licences for our laptops when we game (Desktop to create, laptop for travel and game)

From everything I have read, HLO is for 1 user. Yes, I can use it on any system I log into. But for me to get use for my husband, I now have to guy 2 copies.

For cost, it is not as good and I hate having to always be on line

I had Realmworks, but it was not worth keeping it up with paying a fee. I do more on my personal site for free than I can with Realmworks, which promised custom calendars, but never happened.

Sadly, My group is dying... FAST. No one want so go to PF2 in the group, they don't want to go to 5e, they want to stay on PF1, and to top it off, no one outside of my dying group wants to play PF1 or PF2

While I prefer PF1, I still have 2 campaigns being run, and was in the middle of 1 I was playing on. Cannot convert the current play on any of them.

Might aw well just give up and hide in a hole or go play 5e at a LGS (Which I hate going to as none of them are good in my local area)

Sigh... It's been a fun 10 years

My view is this... It does not reflect others view, it is how I feel having played every version of D&D starting in 1979.

There are some good, there are some bad. What I like
Champion instead of Paladin. I like the fact that you can now be the "knight" and not have to be lawful good.

I like 3 actions (This will prevent those monks (I hated monkss from almost every version existing) from hitting 6X in a round and doing mass damage. They may still do mass damage, but they are not doing stunning fist all the time and hitting 6X

I like Cleric healing 1 action if you touch, 2 actions if you heal within 30 feet, and 3 actions to do a 30 to all

The break down of exploration, downtime (and I am drawing a blank on the third) Exploration is when your party is out doing just that, adventuring.

Then you have the downtime, when you are in a town, doing side work, healing.

Somethings I don't like
I miss the charts on character creation. It is all in text hidden. No more, your a blank, take +2 ere and here and -2 here. It seems to be more hunt to find

HP are all static. Your a Dwarf you get 10 HP, Your a fighter, you get 10 more. You raise to level 2, you get 10 more. 3rd level, here have 10 more. No more randomness, not everyone is the same

In the past you had fast, medium, and slow progression. Now you have 1000XP and you just went from level 3 to 4. Anther 1000 xp you are now 5.

I also do not like that by X levels you need to have X permanant magic items (This is not potions or things that you use up) If you run light magic worlds, that is not good. And players may complain saying... well the rules say this and that. Yes, you as a DM can control this, but it just adds more for the DM to manage in rules.

PF2 seems like it is designed for Paizo's world and it's not for outside of that world. It may not be that way, just seems this way to me.

I'm not sure how many of my ever shrinking group is going to want to dish out another $60 for this flimsy book, after spending years on 1st ed (Only needed 3 books but most had PH, DMG, MM, FF, UC, D&D), Then into 2nd ed with all their books, then 3.0, then 3.5 then PF1, (Most of use avoided 4, but some of us got PH, DMG, and MM), then into 5E (PH, DMG, and MM once again avoiding most of the other crap)

It gets old having to rebuy into a game and to shelve the others because no one wants to play it (Part of why my group is shrinking, they want to play ONLY 5E, not anything PF)

So, what it is worth, buy it ONLY if that is what it means to play. But if not, avoid it.

I have no clue why this was moved to an Online Campaign recruitment because this is NOT for an Online game but a face to face game

Sadly, their link to my area leads to a Meetup group that is almost exclusive 5e. I do post on that site as well as another in Denver.

Thought I might try here to find players

Northern Colorado (Loveland, Ft, Collins, Greeley, Longmont) Pathfinder, Starfinder, 7th Sea, Others RPG occasional miniature games like Blood and Plunder, Flames of War

Darn near impossible to find players. No one wants to commit or wants to play 5E

FINALLY Got my book, scanned through the rules. There are a few things I like, but many things I do not like.

I could find nothing about healing and curing wounds even by looking in index. Not one mention as Heal or Cure. No spells of heal or cure. Yes, I may be missing something.

Then Ranger Crossbow? Really? Why not a regular bow, or a composite bow? That seems odd.

Characters seem to "Cookie Cutter" Never was a fan of point buy.

I have 2 games I am running. Both are PF not PF2. They are both in depth games. To change to PF2 would be impossible. Unlike when we were 3.5 and moved to PF, it was pretty simple to convert with some changes

I can understand Paizo wanting to release a "New" Version, it's how they make money. Kind of like WotC with Magic and then 3.0 to 3.5 to 4. to 5.

As a player since 1979, Even TSR did a 1st to 2nd, but seems drastic changes like PF to PF2 are not the route I want to take just like 3.5 to 4e was.

Guess I was at the bottom of the pile and no concern to get shipped

Paizo Order #4781680 were is my book Vic?

Still waiting... And as noted Amazon has a distribution center 45 minutes from me.

Still Waiting. No email Notta!!!

As for Amazon. Never ONCE has Amazon messed up my shipping when I ordered through them, nor my husband, and we order a lot from Amazon

Putting Blame on Amazon is like blaming the Subcontractor. In the end, the responsibility still lies with the parent company.

No Notification yet and I am both a Prime customer and a UPS and USPS customer. Not to mention I ordered the minute we could.

Tried reading the PDF but I HATE PDF and reading shite on a PC. Give me a daarn book.

And I am in the US (Colorado) and an Amazon fulfillment center less than an hour from my house

Paizo should over night. Keep the $15, make it right'

A bit sad, but here in NZ I wasn't expecting it for a month anyway. So it'll 100% be September before I see it now. Thanks for letting us know, rather than just hanging on, and the PDFs are there :)

Have to agree. I hate PDF's Give me a book. Because when the missles fly or the zombies knock out the power, Your pdf ain't worth nothing on that tablet or PC with no power. That book at least offers me TP, a fire, or a good read.

Ah boo. That stinks that I won't get the physical copy until the 9th according to Amazon. I've been watching the playtest posts come out with excitement, so i guess I can wait a few more days.

Actually, this was not an email but a link that was in the email that went right to Paizo's web site. Yes the email says about to ship, but the link that goes right to Paizos site says Shipped.

Just overnight it to me keep your $15 bucks, nothing I want on the site. Besides $15 bucks doe snot about to much. I am not a fan of PDF's I cannot stand reading on a PC or a tablet. I like the old fashion book method for everything

Most Pathfinder players I know only know how to Power game. It is SO easy to Power game in Pathfinder. And some classes are worse than others like say an Alchemist

So I got the email about Amazon shipping. Funny. I got an email back on July 13th that said this

Shipping Method Amazon Standard Delivery
Package Tracking Shipped Fri, Jul 13, 2018 (package 1110509)
Not trackable

SO... Who is telling the truth.

Still not gotten mine so Paizo jumped the gun?

Still looking. We recently lost 3 in our group. One from 1, 1 from school schedule, the 3rd as they were with the school schedule.

Why is is so hard to find players?

The Northern Colorado Adventure’s Guild is looking for New Players!

If you are Mature, Dedicated, like to have fun, into character, story and adventure. If you also accept Diversity, and don’t smell like an Orc, we may be looking for you. We are a female friendly group.

We play every other Saturday from 2 to 10 in Loveland and usually play Pathfinder . But, we are up to starting Starfinder as well as maybe 7th Sea and other RPG’s. And we even on occasion some Flames of War.

We are a mature group and many of us have been playing together for over 8 years. If you are interested and would like to talk, Email me and we can show you our web site and see if you are a fit for us, and us for you.

email me at delaneyalysaATgmailDOTcom

Thank you

In One of the Pathfinder books, there was an optional rule that said something like at 1/4 loss of total hit points you take a -2 to hit and damage. At 1/2 you take a -4 to hit and damage and at 3/4 you take...

What book and page is that? I cannot find it and know I read it

Thanks in advance

This is for Second Edition, right? There should be something in the description (maybe even in the season name) that says so.

I was doing my "Beware the Amok Time!" schtick, when another player suggested that ikeshtis only mate once.

So, do Ikeshti mate only once?

The Armory has them. #BadWrong

Is the game as badly trashed by this as I think?

EDIT: I don't know what's in the rest of the book. I couldn't read any more.

What goes in this box? The extra fame point if a Wayfinder plays online? The number of faction boons acquired?

WTF! $21 postage on a $31 order? Do you get a kickback from the post office for sending 1/10 of the order by priority mail? Or is this the work of a disgruntled employee who is deliberately sabotaging Paizo? Warning: I may post your answer on our city's PFS facebook page.

PZ08501-Chronicle.pdf
PATHFINDER TALES: WINTER WITCH says (in HOW TO USE section) that I am supposed to to show the GM my copy of "Plague of Shadows" before he signs my chronicle sheet.

Shouldn't that say "Winter Witch" instead?
