Just had the first party death in my game. I gave plenty of warnings... about the only other thing I could have done was have a flashing neon sign outside the room.

Name: Ahkjahti
Race: Catfolk
Class: Rogue 6
Adventure: Empty Graves
Location: The Sepulcher of the Servant
Catalyst: Not knowing when to run

The Gory Details:

Though, if I were a Balazar player, I would probably feel pretty cheated every time a summoned monster came up. :D

Yes... yes I do :'(

Calistria has some aspects of revenge to her, maybe that could work?

I also play a gnome cleric of one the Eldest, The Lantern King. I play him slightly off (talking to his deity as if he was there, surprised others cannot see him). Most sessions I try play pranks or otherwise throw off other party members, but definitely take revenge on others when slighted.

My fiancee and I are working on a station on Pandora that we use for background during the Mummy's Mask game I just started up. It is far from finished yet, but overall it is pretty awesome. Take a listen - we'll continue to work on it as we go!

I am gearing up to run the Mummy's Mask campaign and just thought I'd ask the community - are there any good Pathfinder Tales that take place in Osirion?

How about any good stories that capture the spirit of the campaign? I've already got the Mummy movies (original and remakes) as well as Indiana Jones covered, but I was looking for some more things too.

If anyone has any recommendations I am excited to hear them!

I am so incredibly impressed with these maps - my group is just about to start playing Mummy's Mask and I cannot wait to see their faces when I pull the first one out (even if it is completely covered at the start)!

Thank you for this - once I get a little more cash in my pocket you can expect a donation.

Yeah, we were in a similar spot while I was running Runelord AP. We managed to finish it up two weeks before I got the AP6 cards.

Upcoming wedding has thrown that group's gaming schedule out the window - as it is now we have characters all ready for the first session, which is where they have been idling for two months or so.

Hurrah for real life - sadly, we may just have to wait until Wrath of the Righteous to play the card game again.

Quick question to anyone in the know:

Our Pathfinder group has enjoyed the card game immensely, but we don't want to start the Skulls and Shackles game until we've gotten through the AP (itself a different matter, GM is getting married soon and pushing the game back). We've discussed just playing the organized play scenarios for now, but because the organized play scenarios are going to be using the cards from the Skulls and Shackles set I was wondering how much might get ruined from the AP if we wanted to run those scenarios instead.

I realize that the Runelords set didn't give major things away, but major NPCs/villains/locations could ruin some of the AP.

Thoughts? Thanks for any guidance you can offer with this!

Question came up while we're getting things together for a new campaign. I'm going to be playing an Urban Barbarian and will be taking Superstition - has there been an official ruling on whether a barbarian has to resist magic while in a controlled rage if they have Superstition?

Whelp... that went poorly. Party bungled Diplomacy rolls to talk her down at all, last hit was a crit that killed her outright.

On the bright side, they did reflect after her death and saw her as the victim of a life of ill-treatment. So, overall a success, especially when they learn more about what is going on.

If they are successful, I have her in mind for a cohort for the Paladin eventually.

The way I have it tentatively thought out is that when it is apparent that Nualia is going to fail again Lamashtu will strip her of her powers. This will push her over the edge, culminating in Nualia being taken to the Sanitarium.

I have some interludes that will keep the party busy before book 2 starts, but about the time they go there and have to deal with things have her recovered enough to be looking for redemption now and finding it through Sarenrae. Thankfully that deity is more than willing to turn the tools of evil against themselves.

If this happens I'm also going to edit her backstory down a little so she isn't as involved with the Skinsaw Cult originally, otherwise she'd be probably able to point the party in that direction too soon. They already will have Tsuto, who "committed suicide" while in Ironbriar's care, to deal with again, so no reason to keep repeating every villain.

Aeshuura - Do you have a link to those pages? I couldn't find them in the latest updates to the Community Page. Thanks!

Running this campaign and just about to hit the fight with Nualia. The party includes a gnome cleric of Sarenrae and his adopted half-orc daughter who is a paladin of Sarenrae.

The paladin expressed interest in leadership and has so far tried to redeem most of the villains met, so I'm excited to give them the opportunity to try and redeem Nualia. This isn't going to be without a hefty challenge and is going to take quite some time to be successful, but I am going to leave it open for the party if they so choose.

I wrote up this quick doc that uses Nualia's backstory and breaks it up into quick blurbs. Depending on their check, they'll be presented as is without any elaboration. I'd love some feedback!

Nualia’s Backstory Visions
Before the confrontation with Nualia, allow a religious-aligned PC (cleric,paladin,etc) to make a Wisdom check. Based on their check, they are presented the following visions by their deity.
• DC-5
o White-haired girl, sitting with arms around knees, surrounded by children with their backs towards her
o A young Varisian man reaching his hand out to the girl, much older now
o The woman being thrown into a bedroom by an older man, who produces a key and locks the door

• DC-10
o The girl, surrounded by adults, rubbing rashes and sores on her, plucking hairs from her head and tying them around their fingers
 DC-15 Knowledge (Local) to identify this as a superstition that aasimar hair can be used as a ‘good luck’ charm
o The Varisian man and the woman embracing in the tunnels under the Glassworks
o The woman, pointing to her stomach, and the Varisian man looking furious and shoving her to the ground

• DC-15
o The older man looming over the woman and yelling as she kneels at an altar
o The woman, looking crazed and with a much larger stomach, shaking in a corner of a room
o The woman, no longer obviously pregnant, pounding on a wall in the tunnel; as she pauses and starts crying, bricks fall away from the wall

• DC-20
o The woman laying on a bed, surrounded by women in white, and one of the women pulls away a monstrously-deformed newborn wrapped in bloody cloths
o The monstrously-deformed newborn being thrown into a fire while the woman looks on with horror in her eyes
o The woman, sitting before the quasit, who presents her with a holy symbol of Lamashtu
 DC-15 Knowledge (Religion) to identify each, unless previously encountered

• DC-25
o The woman, curled into the fetal position and crying, still dressed in the clothes from the miscarriage, while the runewell flares to life
o The woman, waking and looking starved and crazy, jamming the door to a bedroom and starting a fire
o The woman, touching an altar, a vision of a large goblin-wolf hybrid obscuring her face

Seconded! I'm about to start running Burnt Offerings and would love to have a creepy monologue on loop when they get to the transmission room.
