To

Steven D. Russell of Rite Publishing First and formost I should have explained my frustration that your company has resolved. There for Im sorry if you thought I was attacking you or Rite publishing. In my post it looks like that too for that Im sorry.

I rushed to post my fustration at what is going on with Adamant. I was using my only previous experience with a kick start project. Which was Jade Oath.

To the Game community Im sorry that I mislead or did not explain my whole problem or explaination it was a poor post to say the least.

Everything that Steven said was true. He did reply in a timely and professional mannor Thank you.

All I had prior to the emails to and from steven was nothing.

The problem that I personally had was that there was little or no update posted on the web site about the delay. The real world gets in the way of everything. My feelings was prior to my emailing Rite Publishing was that I had no clue what was going on. It was my fault that I didnt email them earlier or get more involved but my real life got in the way.

Another poster said it best "keep us in the loop" not weekly or every month but it would be nice to know whats going on.

@Wolfthulhu yes my posts on facebook have been removed or ignored. They were as polite as possible.

To all I hope this explains my fustration about Adamant in particular and Kick-starters in general

Scarab Sages

Not to burst anyone bubble but its a dead horse. Several people that post here are facebook friends of mine. We have asked politely and professionally the status of this game. Admant has removed all and every post that we have made asking the status of this game. Nothing not a word of progress or demise. Unless someone from Adamant says otherwise directly and provides a timetable with in reason. Its a dead issue in my opinion. I got burned by Rite Publishing I dont plan on getting burned by anyone else with these "kick Start" projects.

The creator means, I believe, a pathfidner version of Gamma World esq game. Adamant entertainment was making warlords of the apocalypse or something.

There is several threads on conversions by players but they all lack that feel of Gamma World or Aftermath that Gamma World has. There is also several varients that use the d20 modern engine which, personally, I cant stand that version of the d20 system. If Darwin's world was ever pathfinderized Id really be a happy camper and Id guarntee at least 25 to 35 people would be picking up their products with a zeal.

Scarab Sages

Im not sure if your looking for free or willing to pay for the product. but I bought Hero Lab. It is not web based like the character from WoTC. Which I hate to admit I have used from launch of 4e. Granted I no longer play 4e since Pathfinder went live with Kingmaker AP. I picked up hero lab 3 months ago and have loved it very much. Currently Im running Carrion Crown, have all the encounters put into the game so I can run combat for villians and heros.

They are just like Ulfen, they simply have adapted. No need for a new race.

So more of a clan than a off shoot. I can deal with that. Just wondering cause when I start this AP some goober player of mine will want to play one.

FYI I found the information on the snowcaster elves...note to self read all books. Its in the Inner Sea World Guide (hardcover).

Scarab Sages

Wow this got better response than I thought, thanks everyone.
Actually, Slavers was a re-version of A1-A4 from first edition. Many of the "lesser" gods were put into articles in the Dungeon & Dragons mags that were in house at TSR. All three of the gods in question were Demi-Gods or Divine Heros. Over the years as the line blured on who and what could grant spells to followers.

My post was to confirm what I had guessed already but its nice to get other points of view.
My players actually want to go back to this adventure. So I need to get all the bad guy info back into my brain. I origionally ran this from the point if view of an evil party who was working for the Slavers. It became a large "who done it mystery" The players were required to be evil but had to be Lawful. No neutral or chaotic. I wanted infighting but not outright backstabing each other. It was very fun because the party was always two steps behind the real heros ( those dirty Ba anyhow).

I see bits and pieces for snowcaster elves in The Hungry Storm. Is there any difference from normal elves?

By way of comparison WOTC created the element books with variant core races that survived in adverse weather.

Scarab Sages

I've been a LONG time gamer and have some of the First Edition Gods that were created for Greyhawk. These are lesser gods. I would like to add to Pathfinder.

My questions are

1. has anyone done this ?? If so my search fu is weak could you help me out.

2. Is there a format for creating said gods.

The gods Im looking at are
1. The Earth Dragon cult
2. Kelanen
3. Murlynd

They are from Greyhawk Slavers TSR 11621
Also Im posting here cause Mr. Reynolds & Mr. Pramas are the main authors.

Thanks

Alas, years of forums, digg, and reddit have warped my brain on how to read names and text in general. Most normal people will never catch it. :)

True but we are all gamers so by definition we are not normal. What ever normal is anyways.

Scarab Sages

Roll 4d6 & drop the lowest, six times and arrange as desired.
Usually the game group does the same, however it depends on who is DM.
Playing/ DM ing since 1979
4. The origional AD&D then shadowrun.

What do you mean there is no snow, last three times Ive been there everything was shut down cause of a little snow.

Scarab Sages

I was wondering if your still working on this or is it dead??

Scarab Sages

How do you people make cult horror that has been beaten to death by the RPG industry actually look cool again. Very cool poster.

Scarab Sages

@ Rite Publishing Sorry about your family hope all is well. I was wondering cause I ordered it and got the beta then heard nothing at all. Thanks for the update.

@Liz I know they rock, but its high school flash backs that I could do without...makes me feel old n stuff

Scarab Sages

What is with all the music puns anyways??? Also question for rite what ever happened to Jade Oath?

Scarab Sages

Suggestions include make a ride check. Or a earned feat. I wouldnt go with a magic item. Because he may need that slot later for a more important item.

When I give an item or mount in this case my group has a house rule that either you can have a feat or a skill. If he wants to go on to ride other exotic mounts I would give him a unique skill or alter the ride skill to say that if you can roll a blank or better you dont get sick. Other wise modify a feat like Iron stomach, You dont get sick from riding. Or better yet roll acrobat skill... they have a habit of hanging upside down.

Sorry for the lack of spelling Im doing this on the fly.

FYI most Drow based games threw penalities at the PCs Im not sure about Second Darkness but other d20 products did.

Sasha will hide in one of the towers with her short bow at the ready. She will began with ranged and then stealth to melee to take advantage of her abilites.

I will work my way around the edge of the battle taking pot shots and then attempt to ghost my way into melee to take advantage of my *cough* unusual abilities.

Dear dear Oleg reguardless of what happens on the marrow your first and only job is to protect yourself and your wife

To the party
Do we want to make any preperations, plans, traps, improvements or are we just going to wing it as they come?

To the entire group I really think we should look around the area together if we are going to fend off these bandits that are attacking us and find out more about the "woman" that appears to be involved. Then see to our rooms and a bath definatly a bath.

To the DM

Spoiler:
Gather information/diplomacy roll on Oleg and his wife to try to gather more about the identity of our potential enemies

Scarab Sages

I can play a cleric...a war based cleric but a cleric none the less

Scarab Sages

Sorry about the math I corrected the armor checks. Also removed mstr work weapon. Also the corrected stealth check would be 15 not 16.

Sasha will draw a dagger and wait for Thumparr to engage an enemy in combat before attempting a flank/sneak attack.

1d20+3=20

potential Dmg rolls

Spoiler:
if the sneak attack is successful it is with her dagger + a sneak attack attack roll & sneak attack roll in this order (1d6+1=3, 1d6=1)

nother question do we roll dmg or not

This is Sasha Greymantle a work in progress. Im working on the background at the moment and will post as soon as I get the hang of the BBCode.

If the group thinks that we really need a healer I can multiclass at second level.

Which can work into the concept with a tweek or two.
