I'm having issues with it too. I've use Safari and Chrome on the iPad Pro and Chrome on a PC. I get to the "Place your order" and "What will happen when you place your order", and then it doesn't do anything when I click it.

YESTERDAY it got to the point where I could put in my 3-digit security code, then wouldn't go farther.

My thought is what is the "standard price"? I think RPG should be no more than $20. At $20 anyone can pick it up and start having fun and spreading the gospel of RPGs.

Well hard back book can be in the $30 range, that's reasonable now, $20 for a 100+ page book is great, not more than $15 for a 96 page count.

As a local game store guy I hate when the difference between the pdf and the hardcopy is enough that it discourages the solid market sales.

So do you think our Obsidian Twilight previews are OK?

I liked it! Great layout, cool concept and something any gamer can grasp and love.

This is just something for you to think about for a while. With the country STILL in an economic down turn I was to know what gamers free would be a go price to sell the upcoming Pirates of the Bronze Sky for? How many pages for how many dollars? What seems fair? Tell me what you think.

Well page count is one thing, pdf or hardcopy too, but from what I just saw on your page about it the setting looks fun and the artwork is top-notch.. So standard prices would certainly apply. However if you're worried about the economy hurting sales then feel free to lower the cost a little. I can't hurt as long as you keep it at the point where you're still going to turn a profit.

Be sure to cut and paste together a teaser with just enough setting material and some partial feats.. Like 5-10 pages of that with maps and stuff for free. I don't know if those encourage sales in others but they do for me.


The only thing I've seen the new guy in was "Smokin' Aces", he's the main one of the Tremor Brothers.

So I know he can play a scrapper. But why would Kirk fight himself from the same universe? One of them has to have a goatee for this to happen.


I skipped to the end to enthusiastically add my suggestion, then I'll go back and read it all:

Bill Nighy. He looks like a young Hartnell! :)


Ha! Now that would make an awesome sequel!


Graphic Novel - Western style, please and thank you.

Leave the Manga style to Exalted!


Thanks JJ!

And that does make more sense. I wasn't thinking about it being important as I was going for a cool geek moment. And adventure about the Eye does sound a lot more interesting than dropping Freeport inside it.

It fits in well enough in the surrounding "pirate" areas anyway, but that's not to say those are the only pirate waters, those are just the ones I've read about. A "free" pirate area off the western coast of Cheliax would be interesting too, out to sea a bit. Especially past the Hellmouth region, to keep the ideas of those Lovecraft inspired parts of Freeport flowing.

Anyway, it's a good thought original poster! I'm sure lots of people will be doing something like this soon enough.


I like 4E in some ways, they made some good changes. The at will powers are great, especially the spells that can be used outside of combat as a break from "Vancian Magic". The compounding of skills into broader categories, and making "Detect Magic" a skill, that was good. Lots of other things I can list here...

But it just lost the feel of "D&D". At least so far. It's too combat oriented. Too bland outside of a fight. The paradigm has shifted somehow. Over time I may change my opinion, but for now, I'm just not as impressed as I was with the last edition.

And I work in a game store. This is tragic. At least I'm a decent enough salesman/actor to keep up appearances.


What about in the Eye itself? Or are there other plans for that?

That would make for one of the ultimate "island in the mists" ideas. A place only pirates can get to in the eye of a perpetual hurricane. And since Freeport is practically a planar city anyway.. Makes sense to me.

/First post on these boards! I just got hooked on Pathfinder in the last week! :)
