Silver Crusade

For anyone in the know, whats up with the scarce availability of Pathfinder t-shirts? Especially for PFS? Is the plan to replenish stock or reveal all new designs/stock as part of GenCon 2013?

Specifically I wanted to pick up some PFS faction shirts and one for the Year of the Demon but currently there's nothing available.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, couldn't decide if I should put this in PFS or Products...

I'm playing around in Hero Lab to come up with some new level one characters and toyed with the Half-Dragon. Its showing me that it is a legal build but given the bonuses I can't see how this would be acceptable for organized play. Is Half-Dragon legal for PFS?

I'm getting ready to start up a campaign in January and I wanted to add some spice to combat to make players more invested. I've listened to people talk about L5R and other systems (I think GURPS also) that have interesting mechanics that address this, already built into the system. So this started me thinking about house-ruling something for Pathfinder.

I thought maybe something simple such as when a PC reaches the bloodied value they take a -1 to STR and DEX, then perhaps a -2 when they reach 20% of their HP.

So my question is, are there any popular house rules out there that accomplish something like this for Pathfinder? Has anyone come up with something of their own they'd like to share?

I'm not trying to make the game insanely deadly, just spice up combat a bit to make players really feel the significance of damage their characters are taking.

I've been heavily playing Pathfinder since GenCon 2012, thanks to all the great people at Paizo and the volunteers for getting me hooked :)

Now I'm attempting to run my own campaign with a group of players but since I haven't had a long history with the setting I'm struggling to figure out how to open this up. I have the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary book but I have played the Burnt Offerings portion of that with a couple people in the group. I also have the Inner Sea World Guide and Primer.
My thought/wish is to somehow start the adventure up and work the group into the Rise of the Runelords campaign somewhere after the Burnt Offerings portion. Since this is my first campaign I feel having something like Rise of the Runelords to follow is in the best interest of everyone. My lack of exposure to the world is hindering me in finding something/somewhere I can get them started. I've looked through some of the Adventure Paths for something I could maybe start with but nothing really stood out.
I've instructed the players to create extensive backgrounds and use the Primer for guidance (races, traits, etc). The players will know nothing of each other until the game starts and I plan to integrate their backgrounds into the story, unraveling bits as the campaign goes on.

So, I've come to you guys..the experts, for suggestions or direction. Be nice, I'm new! :)
