Thanks for the video! Was very useful as a PaizoCon first timer! I'll be travelling over from New Zealand for it.

What's the food situation like there? Do people go to the hotel restaurant, or offsite? Do people eat at the organised play tables? Are there any rules about bringing your own food and drink in? Cheers! Look forward to meeting everyone there!

I love the bloat. Having recently played a rival system, I found it immeasurably less satisfying than Pathfinder because there were so few options for building my character.

Paizo do a great job imho of keeping things balanced. Sure, more options mean power creep as people find methods to further optimise their builds, but I've still never taken part in a game where a core only cleric or wizard, or a barbarian with power attack couldn't hold their own.

Lazlo, you are aware you must actually own the source you're using, right?

You can't just find a bunch of options online and piece together a character with them. PFS is a sort of "marketing campaign" for Paizo. If you don't own the book, or a PDF, you can't use it in PFS.

And owning HeroLab doesn't count, either.

Yes I'm aware of this, and own all the material I use for PFS. As for things I intend to use, like this... well I can't buy it until I find out which book it is in. :)

Since the legal source for Dark Tapestry in is the Paizo Blog, I assume I don't need to own that.

I'm only 33 but I know I'll be gaming for the rest of my life. It's just too much fun not to. :)

Have you tried Meetup.com? That's how I found my Pathfinder group in NZ.

If you're creating bland human characters, you're doing it wrong...

Switch which doors lead to which rooms. Give him a knowing look if he ever complains, or seems surprised. Hopefully it'll embarrass him into giving up cheating.
