<p>Example 1:
<br />
Goblin Warchanter (GW) attacks the fighter.

You roll a 12 on your d20. That hits an AC of 17 (12+5) or less. If she hits, you roll your 1d4 and get a 2 causing 3 (2+1) damage.</p>
<p>Example 2:
<br />
GW attacks the fighter. You roll a 20 on your d20, that's an auto hit and threatens a critical! You roll your d20 again and get a 5 which hits an AC of 10 (5+5). That's not enough to hit the fighter's AC, but you STILL HIT. You roll 1d4 and get a 2 doing 3 (2+1) damage.</p>
<p>Example 3:
<br />
GW attacks the fighter. You roll a 20 on your d20, that's an auto hit and threatens a critical! You roll your d20 again and get a 15 which hits an AC of 20 (15+5). That's enough to hit the fighter's AC, confirming the critical hit! You roll 1d4 THREE TIMES and add the +1 damage to EACH ROLL. You roll a 1, a 3 and a 4 doing a total of 11 damage (1+1)+(3+1)+(4+1)</p>

<p>I mention this because I'm currently running Carrion Crown. Everyone is having fun, but nobody is afraid for creeped out.

<p>If you decide to Kickstart a project, Kevin, I promise you that I will look it over and make a decision based on whether I would want to run the adventure. To copy Papa DRB:</p>
<p>Q1. If I wrote an Adventure Path, would you legitimately support it?
<br />
A1. Yes, if it looks like something I would want to run.</p>
<p>Q2, If I did this, what level would you want it to go up to?
<br />
A2. 1-20 would be nice, but I've got enough material to fill in the higher levels if it doesn't go that high.</p>
<p>Q3. Is having it supported with Hero Lab files a deal maker?
<br />
A4. No. I DO use Hero Lab and it would be nice to have the files, but I can make most of them. Supported with Realm Works MIGHT be a deal maker if it's something I want to run. However, that's probably a lot more work for you.</p>
<p>Q4. Some APs, like Castle Whiterock, have pregens. Would you want these added?
<br />
A4. I don't care either way. I have only ever used ONE pregen and that was because I had a visitor gaming with us. I gave them a choice of pregens to play that one night in order to save character creation time.</p>84 backed projects, only ToN and one other have "burned" me so far.

-<b>Grimtooth's Ultimate Traps Collection</b>. It is coming to retail soon (once the KS backers get their copies). It's systemless, so GM's can set their own DC's for the traps. Also, it's a hoot to read!

-<b>GM Gems</b>. This is a book of tables and essays written by GM's for other GMs centering on three main factors: Urban Adventures, Wilderness Travel and Dungeons. The mechanics in this book are for Dungeon Crawl Classics, but there's not much mechanics in here, it's mostly ideas and strategies.
<br />
-<b>Monster Alphabet</b>: This book is a series of tables from A to Z that gives you ideas to modify monsters. Again the mechanics are built around Dungeon Crawl Classics, but everything they mention can be converted from the Bestiaries (or just made up on the fly).</p>

-<b>Bill Webb's Book of Dirty Tricks</b>: This is a controversial one. If you do all of what he recommends all at once to your players, you might lose some or all of them.

I know that tarantula bites and emperor scorpion stings are essentially no worse than a wasp sting (unless you have an allergy), but, my kids are young.
<p>I would be interested to see how an emperor scorpion handled an adult Hisser though. That would be neat to see!</p>

<p>I've not heard of Island Roaches. If you are looking for feeder roaches, I've heard that you want to look for a non-glass climbing species (such as Dubia or Discoid roaches).</p>
<p>Hissers are glass climbers, and we have had escapees from our tank. If you want to raise hissers, look online for plans to build a hisser enclosure in a 5 gallon bucket. It's the most secure way to raise them.</p>
<p>I'd encourage you to research roach species. They are misunderstood and maligned in our culture, but they are relatively harmless. Essentially the only way to get sick from one is to let them walk over your food or to put a live one in your mouth (I don't recommend doing either of those). There are feeder species that you can raise that don't survive well in cold climates and that can't climb glass. Once you pay for a few breeders and get a population going, you'll never need to buy crickets again.</p>GM_Beernorg wrote:Seriously impressed Itchy, and I must admit, cockroaches are the one creature I am a bit uneasy around.

<p>We settled on Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. They are tough enough to survive toddler handling. They don't bite. They don't carry any transmissible diseases. They are educational. They are beautiful. They are self replicating, so if the toddler squashes one, you've got more. They are durable, so if you or your toddler forgets to feed them for a few days, they'll be okay. They are tropical, so they die if they escape (I live in New England. Winters are too harsh for tropical roaches). They don't fly. They are also edible. We have tried them, but it is difficult to get over our own cultural issues with entomophagy.</p>
<p>We bought 6 of them through mail order. When we lost count at 300 or so, we took them to a reptile shop, selected 13 adults to restart the population, and donated the rest to feed the reptiles. It's time to contact the pet shop again to reduce our population...</p>
<p>A few years ago, my wife took some to the "petting zoo" at our church's Harvest Festival. They were a big hit! The kids loved them! She also brought a bunch of frozen then seasoned and baked sub-adults. They were all eaten and some folks came back for more. :)</p>
<p>If anyone in the Central Massachusetts area wants to get some Hissers, send me a message and we can work something out. If you don't want a breeding population, I can give you adult males.

<p>I disagree that it makes the outcome worse for yourself. I do not believe that either of the major candidates has my best interest at heart. Since things will be just as bad for me regardless of who gets elected, the outcome for myself is the same; neither better nor worse.</p>

<p>Every person who voted in the 2000 and 2004 elections are collectively responsible for the country electing George W. Bush. Everyone who votes in the election is exercising their political muscle and at the end of election day, somebody wins the presidency. We all share the responsibility for that decision.</p>
<p>I think that symbolic actions are tremendously important. Symbolic actions are all that we have. Due to the electoral college, all US voting is symbolic. Likewise, a clear conscience is tremendously important. If you don’t listen to your conscience, what DO you listen to?</p>
<p>When I voted for a third party in the last election, my vote said “I disagree with what the Republicans are doing and with what the Democrats are doing. I will not support them, so I will vote against them.” The candidate I voted for did not get elected. The two major parties got the message: “There are people out there who don’t support you.” Also, the people who voted for Nader didn’t vote for George W. Bush. They voted for Ralph Nader. </p>
<p>This November, I will not vote for Barak Obama or for Mitt Romney. I will instead vote for someone else. Will they win the presidency? Unlikely. Will I still be able to say, with a clear conscience, “I didn’t vote for him,” when the president and congress passes more invasive legislation? Yes. Will I still be responsible for the results of the election? Yes, along with everyone else who voted in the election.</p>[Spoiler omitted]

<p>Paper minis are a lot easier to get and transport out in the field. Just print 'em up before hand, stick 'em in an envelope, and send an email home when you need 'em shipped out. At the end of the deployment, take all your pennies, dimes and quarters out of them, and leave them behind.</p>
<p>One thing that Rich Burlew did with his paper minis for OOTS Kickstarter supporters was to make mounts mountable! He drew them with a little dotted line in the middle or slightly "forward" of the middle. You cut the dotted line and fold that portion the other way, creating a small flat space that can hold your PC!</p>
<p>Good art is a huge plus and would go a long way toward influencing me to purchase. Also including (or selling them as) <b>line art so that I can color them in myself.</b> I made that last part bold because the more I think about it the more I like it. It allows those of us without the time or talent to paint minis to effectively "paint" our own minis.</p>
<p>What creatures would I want?

-Sets of PC races drawn up in the different base classes (including 3PP classes)

<br />
-the entire Animal companion list (with size variations)
<br />
-Summon Monster list (in Fiendish and Celestial form)
<br />
-Summon Nature's Ally list
<br />
-Sets of common enemy races with different weapons (orcs, kobolds, goblins, humans, lizardfolk)
<br />
-Minis of some of the creatures that we are not likely to see come to plastic, or that are very expensive in plastic or metal:
<br />
—Dragons of different sizes and colors,
<br />
—the Jabberwock,
<br />
—the Bandersnatch (standard and frumious),
<br />
—swarms,
<br />
—elementals of different types in different sizes,
<br />
—dinosaurs,
<br />
—fey,
<br />
—familiars</p>
<p>I'll stop there for now. After seeing how expensive the Pathfinder Battles sets are, I am very strongly inclined to move to paper minis for my home games. If I have to choose whether to spend money on gaming material and have paper minis or buy plastic ones and have no leftover funds for gaming material, I'll take the paper minis.</p>
<p>-Aaron</p>I am very interested in paper minis, especially since I am in the military and tend to try to take an AP with me on any deployment or TDY.
Paper minis are a lot easier to get and transport out in the field. Just print 'em up before hand, stick 'em in an envelope, and send an email home when you need 'em shipped out. At the end of the deployment, take all your pennies, dimes and quarters out of them, and leave them behind.
