Insert Neat Username Here's page

I'm going to be out of the country for a couple of weeks. Would it be possible to hold my latest order until I get back?

Thank you!

When my Pathfinder RPG core rulebook shipped on 08/11/09 and I didn't see it for awhile, I knew that my postal service has a tendency to be extremely slow. At this point, though, I think it's fairly safe to say it's been lost.

How many pages is it? I find it's usually best for a campaign plan to be just small enough that everything still fits.

I've devised a new method to entertain myself:

Step one: Write a bizarre, cryptic note.

Step two: Fold it up as small as you can.

Step three: Hide it where someone will accidentally discover it.

If anyone else decides to start doing this, post your note here. My first one, which I hid in my school:

URGENT: There is a spot on campus which nobody has ever seen. Go to this place and you will find a blind man named Andre. He will speak to you in a language that you have never heard, but you will know what must be done. Godspeed.

EDIT: A second note.

URGENT: Within 1 km of this spot is a building whose outer dimensions could accomodate another room. If one of the interior walls is demolished, a dark secret will be revealed. But beware, seeker of knowledge, lest you make an enemy of an ancient evil.

This is fun . . .

That is a hard one. I have no idea, but I can ask my Latin teacher in the morning.

I think the numbering is off, so I'm fairly sure mine's 48 . . .

48) when the group pulls off a raid perfectly with nearly no injuries, even defeating the most powerful enemy in one round, then pause and decide to fight an optional encounter with two boars. And nearly die.

I've only ever had problems with 7 and 13; when the players are actually there, they generally play fairly well.

42 . . . oops! Make that 43) Players who take over for other, absent players, then make major alignment-shifting decisions with the character.

The argument behind it being a good act seems to be that Black Dragons are always evil, so killing them is a good act. Killing them all is a really good act.

This, of course, ignores Intent, something explicitly mentioned by an outsider as the key behind morality in the OOTS world. (The Angel lass talking to Roy in the afterlife. Don't remember the strip number though)

I agree. Killing black dragons can be a good act, but here we see an example of it being an evil one.

Having read the first installment, all I have to say is: YES! More Aucturn!

I didn't find what they left out to be a problem at first, but then I realized that if they had cut down on the slow motion effects and made the sex scene the same length as in the comic (I think it lasted maybe two panels, IIRC) rather than about five minutes, they likely could have included some of the cut material. But the Black Freighter comic was definitely right to leave out of a movie -- it wouldn't have fit.

Also, a few scenes were changed to increase violence, such as the bit where Rorschach kills the murderer. Rather than with fire, he uses a butcher knife to the skull. Onscreen. Eww.

As for the ending, I thought it mostly retained the original ending's spirit and better explained Dr. Manhattan's departure, but the bit with Dreiberg attacking Veidt and with Nite Owl and Silk Spectre not retiring left me annoyed.

But other than all that, it was okay.

Has anyone compiled a list for EFOK? I've found these lists extremely useful so far.

Today, I began my Curse of the Crimson Throne AP. This location will serve as a record of the party's journeys in case something should happen to them and they are never heard from again.

The party:

• Maroolat is an Fire Elf Swordsage from Osirion. He spent his childhood as an orphan, but was eventually taken in by a master who trained him in the ways of the swordsage. He has traveled the world since, and recently came to Korvosa, where he was hired by the Guard to track down a criminal named Gaedren Lamm. There was soon a series of assassinations targeting those assigned to Lamm's case, of which Maroolat was the only survivor. The Korvosan guard refused to go after Lamm since, as he wasn't nearly as dangerous before the investigations began. Maroolat was fired.

• Len is a half-elf cleric of Nethys. As a small child, he was abducted from the streets of Korvosa to join Gaedren Lamm's gang of young pickpockets, or "Little Lamms." While on a job, he found a holy symbol of Nethys, which he hid from Gaedren. Lamm soon found it, beat Len badly, and broke the symbol. Len escaped shortly thereafter and joined the temple of Nethys found at the Pantheon of Many.

• Karnak, an Elf Rogue, wants Lamm dead because Gaedren planted false evidence incriminating his brother in a recent murder case. A fisherman was coerced to testify in the trial, then killed before he could have second thoughts and recant. Karnak, looking for revenge, asked around for information on Lamm with no luck, until now . . .

A session one recap will be up later.

I personally prefer CotCT, but SD is very good too. They both have several really awesome sequences.

Thanks for the quick response and refund. I'm glad that if this had to happen, it was a miniature I had ordered two copies of, so I at least still have one.

My miniatures order arrived on Thursday, and I am pleased to say that almost all of the miniatures that arrived are in good condition and look great.

Now on to the bad news . . .

The second stirge miniature was not included in the order. At first, since its stat card arrived and it's a really small miniature, I assumed that I had misplaced it. After having spent a long time looking for it, though, I am certain that this is not the case.

My concept: the PCs go to eels end in order to get that information from Barvasi. It would play out the same, but with a different goal. Barvasi knows because he was considering blackmailing them. Now, for the right price (as described in the adventure), he gives the info to the PCs. Who exactly that information implicates is up to you.

I need a lot of sleep. On school nights, I generally sleep from 10pm-6:25am, but on weekends I get even more. Last night for example, I slept from midnight to 11am.

Old Korvosa is still quarantined. A missive from there might take a long time to reach the rest of the city.

If I remember correctly, this started after someone complained that someone else had accidentally ordered a gift for him using his account. It's a security feature. It doesn't seem annoying to me.

Mine is INUH. I mainly play left 4 dead and Team Fortress 2, but I've been considering trying Halo 3's online.

It's truly amazing that a product available as a free PDF exceeded expectations to the extent that it's in reprints already.

I think a few of these have appeared in Pathfinder adventures. The Belker and the Digester, at least.

I just noticed that my latest subscription order is currently listed as shipping. Considering that it arrived yesterday, it's probably already shipped. I just thought I should point that out, in case you were going to ship it again for some reason.

Or did you find a way to ship things faster than light, thus causing it to arrive the day before? If so, I don't even want to know what the cost for this order is.

It's sad that it's really necessary to tell people not to be jerks, but it's good that you did it.

My various aliases total 659. Well, 660, now.

As well, the "skill tax" of which you speak is greatly reduced in Pathfinder -- in 3.5, Spot was one of 45 skills, now Perception is one of 36.

True, and even worse, in 3.5, the perception skills -- listen, search and spot, were 3 of the 45 skills.

Try the Gamemastery Treasure Chest. It includes a decent module which uses a flip-mat, map pack and item cards which are all included in the box, along with a critical hit deck and campaign workbook. The module is relatively short, and a good startup, as it's first level and set near Darkmoon Vale, in which a lot of other modules are set.

EDIT: link.

Same here. Is it true that Mass Effect also has the same "security feature"? ~winces~ If so, then I will have to uninstall Mass Effect. ~grimaces~

Yeah, its a DRM called SecuRom. And it sucks nine ways to Sunday. It does not ask if you want to install it, it does it automatically. It won't even be removed if you delete the game from your harddrive, you need third party software to get rid of it. It won't let you play any media files if even just one on your computer is illegal. It will even destroy your optical drive if you play certain DVDs.

Uninstalling Mass Effect will NOT remove SecuRom. It can be removed, but it is very complex and requires altering the core windows programming (because thats where it installs itself using illegal characters to prevent removal). Do an internet search for instructions on how to remove it.

And its not the only reason not to install Spore. When you buy the game it comes with a limited number of activations, so you're just renting it three times. If you need to reinstall for any reason (new computer, new harddrive, repairing virus damage, bad internet connection during installation, etc.) you use an additional activation and after three, you can't do it again. You have to buy another game at the full price to get three more activations.

And if you whine about it they can refuse further activations, even if you have them available. It in the TOS.

I really wanted Spore too. It is so disappointing, but I won't pay money for this kind of abuse.

Well, if that's the case, I guess I just had a particularly lucky, nonpainful experience with it.

Here's list of the security requirements (which, fortunately, appears to be much smaller-scale than the original plan):

• You must enter an activation code upon startup. Fairly standard, really.
• You can only install 3 times with the same activation code. I've only needed to do it once.
• That's really all there is to it.

Just say no to splatbooks.

Who said anything about splatbooks? These wouldn't have to be splatbooks. They could be made up completely of fluff, with no game rule information at all, if Paizo wanted them that way.

Though I agree that, if published as splatbooks, these products would be a disaster.

Also, "never-ending flood of crunch?" I see none. New crunch appears to be nonexistent except to support the fluff -- just the way it should be.

That does raise another question, I think I may start another thread, but since PRPG is built off of D&D3.5 SRD which was OGL, how much of PRPG will be OLG?

If I remember right, pretty much all of it. But I could be wrong.

Will there be a PRPG SRD then?

I think (although I can't give a certain answer) there won't be an SRD. The OGL will cover the rulebook; you'll just have to buy it if you want to use the system.

There was, if i remember correctly, some talk of some sort of licence to produce products based in golarie-verse. But i may be wrong on that.

I think I heard something about an OGL-like license that would allow you to specifically say that your product was Pathfinder RPG compatible. Haven't heard anything about a Golarion license, though.

The Last Enemy?

Welcome!

There are a lot of modules set in and around Falcon's Hollow. Here's what I can think of right now:

D0,D1,D1.5 and D4: The basic Falcon's Hollow series.

E1: A great Horror-themed event-based adventure.

TC1: Set nearby, available as part of the Gamemastery treasure chest.

LB1 and LB2: A module set near Falcon's Hollow, along with its sequel.

Unfortunately, there's a gap around levels 3 and 4. The best way to fill that is likely through homebrew, for which I would recommend the Guide to Darkmoon Vale.

There's also some level overlap; I think three of the adventures I mentioned are for level 5 parties.

Hope that helps!

You can write material using anything published under the OGL, including Pathfinder. You just can't use trademarked stuff like the Pathfinder gods or setting.

I, too, would appreciate this.

Happy Erik Mona Day!

Will it include the following sentence: "Your Pathfinder RPG Weighted Gelatinous Cube will never threaten to stab you, and in fact cannot speak?"

It seems like they'd be mistaken for some sort of Golem.

Wire Golems.

Steel Golems.

Not for me. When I asked around at my school about a D&D game, those who agreed did so on the condition that it not be a 4e game.

So, what other adventures and gamebooks besides Hollow's Last Hope, Crown of the Kobold King, and Carnival of Tears are in the 'Falcon's Hollow' series?

Let's see, there's:

D1.5: Revenge of the Kobold King - a free PDF
D4: Hungry Are the Dead - expected in late Oct / early Nov.

TC1, LB1 and LB2 aren't very far away from it either.
