Hey guys!
I would like to purchase the Magic 2010 Intro Deck, "Death's Minion's" from you, but there is only a generic Intro Deck option - I didn't see any way to specify which deck I wanted. I already have all of the other ones. Is it possible to order that specific deck from you?

Thanks so much!

This is a long shot, I know, but any Paizonians in the Flagstaff area? Been a little nerd deficient since I moved here, hope there are others out there. Let me know if you want to get together and chat.

Here's how it is. This is going to be my campaign journal for the Serenity game I'm running. It's for my own memory as much as for others to read but I figured if I'm going to type it up I might as well put it somewhere others could see it if they cared. I am going to try to keep things in line with the series as much as possible but being that there's so little official content, I'll be making some up on the fly and I'm going to try to retcon as little as possible. That being said: Here's my little write up of Athens that I sent the players prior to the game.

Athens: Before the Unification War, Athens was known as 'The Jewel of the Rim” It is a large planet that took well to terraforming, supporting a great host of life from Earth-that-was. Vast oceans, sweeping plains interrupted by wide slow rivers, and steep heavily forested mountains dominate the largely temperate planet, and other than rapidly shifting weather and unfortunately frequent tectonic activity, it is as receptive to human colonization as could be hoped for. Originally settled as a scientific outpost to study the flora and fauna in hopes to recreate this degree of success elsewhere, Athens is now home to several Buddhist temple communities in the mountains, a few trading posts serving the sprawling ranches and marble quarries, and a handful of growing cities patterned after the solar panel lined skyscrapers and shining tube lines of the capital metropolis, Edensgate.
Athens supported Unification and became a hotly contested battleground through most of the war. After a flawlessly executed surprise attack, the Browncoats captured Edensgate, and in a grinding ground campaign eventually succeeded in claiming the whole planet. Rather than commit the resources to liberating Athens, the Alliance elected to withdraw, but not before orbitally bombarding all major population centers killing untold numbers of Independents and innocent civilians alike. Refugees flooded to the smaller untouched rural communities or set up shanty towns on the edges of the ruined cities. Three years after Unification Day the Alliance gave rights to Unified Reclamation to license legal salvage operations in the ruins, resulting in a boom of scrappers and smugglers come to pick over the ruined metropolis.

My PCs are a kind of eclectic lot, (as PCs tend to be) but I think they'll do. But they'll have to wait until next time.

Hey everybody! A relatively infrequent DM here starting to collect threads for a new campaign - the New WoD Werewolf set in the Wild West. I saw Arcane Joe's Wild West Post and have already mined it and I have the old WoD Werewolf Wild West book, but I thought I'd toss the notion to the boards and see what other Paizonians would do with this concept. Probably gonna set it in the Idaho, Montana, Wyoming neck of the woods revolving around a little burg with a railway running through it. Just big enough to support colorful western life (read: whorehouses) and serve as a place where farmers and grazers can butt heads. What would you do with that setting?

Also, I haven't read any of the Werewolf: the Forsaken books except the core, do we get a treatment of werewolf history in any of the products?

Thanks all!

It is with a heavy heart that I cancel my Pathfinder AP subscription for the time being. Not for lack of quality, thanks for the great products, ladies and gentlemen. Keep up the good work.

Please cancel order 950683. Talked my FLGS into carrying Pathfinder by preordering it from them ;)

Ooh, and just to be clear, I decided that I'm going to get the pdf of the Gazeteer, so if you could just erase the Guide to Korvosa print edition order, please. Thanks.

Terrifying howl references hunter's cry and howl of the wild, which I assume are meant to be Intimidating Glare and Terrifying Howl, respectively. First Nitpick!

Has anybody worked up a kit to bump old 3.5 classes to the new pathfinder standard? I poked around a bit in the forums and couldn't find anything along these lines. I mean, it's pretty clear that there's been a power bump, I was wondering if there was any standardized way to keep classes like the warlock, duskblade, scout, ninja etc. on par. Maybe one feat level choice (with options for +1AC, +1CL, Spell-like ability, etc.) every few levels?

I will probably try my hand at an update template in the next few days, but I thought I'd see if anyone else had already done the leg work. Even better, maybe there's already one in the works for the appendix of PRPG?
Thanks!

I am *considering* running a one-shot Serenity game at the Penny Arcade Expo at the end of the month, if you are interested you should send me an email at SerenityPax at Gmail dot com. Please introduce yourself and a (brief) character concept in the email and I will reply within a day or two with further info. The only things I require are: knowledge of the setting, creativity within said setting, intelligence, and some manner of access to the Serenity RPG book so all the character generation can be done prior to the actual game. Please don't send me a character sheet, I'm only looking for concept and a bit of backstory to start.

Thanks a lot,
