With all the @Paizo staff home due to weather, just think of all the creative ideas they are coming up with!

It’s just you. All seven of you.

That means that we'll be seeing how the events of those two previous APs have impacted Varisia. You will be visiting Magnimar, Riddleport, Korvosa, Sandpoint, and Kaer Maga during the AP in any event.

Kaer Maga! Love it!

Thank you. I really dig the underwater city idea, but swimming around, or fighting in the water, or underwater, bugs me.

Does the entire AP take place underwater? Most of it? A lot of it? Just one chapter?

From the descriptive text for the AP volumes i guess about half of it.

The first and second volume should take place mostly on land (with occassional dive actions).
Later parts sound to take place mostly or entirely underwater.
Part four (i think) is taking place entirely in an underwater city.

A chef has years of culinary expertise in preparing food to be delicious, flavorful and nice to look at. I always taste what he/she has prepared, before thinking of pouring steak sauce or ketchup or chipotle on it.

We haven't seen the game (except bits 'n pieces), yet many of you already 'know' how to fix it.

Sooooo.....are you ever gonna tell us? What does the F stand for? :D

Frankly, my experience is that players using paper character sheets are much more of a disruption: they have several sheets of paper, nd are forever searching for spells, abilities, bonuses, etc. Also, the constant writing and erasing leaves debris on their papers and on the playing surface.

Tablets, and even some laptops, occupy much less real estate on the table. Piles of paper, books, notepad and pencils, dice trays, etc. all use space. HeroLab, and perhaps other apps, cando all of that, on one small surface.

It is the 21st century, folks. Everyone has an iPad or reasonable facsimile, and the means to use one. HeroLab is licensed and approved by Paizo. No GM should be disallowing any player for that reason. You're a GM, not God. Let's play and have fun.

First thing to remember...there are 7 people at the table. You as GM should be having fun too.

Sometimes players forget how much work a GM puts in Before, during and after each session. In your case, one player is putting additional stress on the GM and the rest of the table. It certainly needs to be addressed.

You did not mention what classes that make up the party, and that gives us more info when trying to help you adjust things in-game.

So, the troublemaker (so to speak) is a Warpriest. Try creating situations that will take him out of encounters early on, i.e. Saves against conditions or spells, bad guys that have been pre-buffed before initiative begins, etc. not ALL the time, but enough that he begins to appreciate the strengths and abilities of the others.

Also, look at the strength of the 3rd Party market. Numerous publishers putting out Pathfinder-compatible products on a regular basis. Small publishers would not be wasting their time if there was not a strong demand.

This goes for RPG-related software as well. Pencil and paper games will migrate as young people join in the fun.

I agree here. I have used Hero Lab for Society play for a while now, and my son and several buddies do as well. We have played here in our local town, and at various conventions.

We have never encountered a GM having any problem with us using it. You cannot use anything for your character if you don't 'buy' the HL file for an official Paizo book, so you are not skirting the rules.

The point of Society play is to have fun....right?
