OK...I give up...I've spent too much time looking for this answer... when a 3.5 feat or prestige class grants an extra rage, how do I convert it to points? Is it 1 for 1 or 2 or something else? Thanks,
Did you ever get a reply? I'm interested in such an encounter table because I'd like to combined that with tidbit conversations from the NPCs. I'd like to have the pcs wandering down the street and hear normal everyday conversations...
'zonk. Consider that grabbed. I'm running Burnt Offerings this weekend. Anyone have any tidbit conversations to be over heard by players? I'm working on a spreadsheet for my game of small bits of information...
I think alot of it will have to do with how much emotional investment a player has in his character and in NPCs. That. I can handle anything as long as it isn't abusive to the people I care about. I remember one game where my character's wife was abducted. If it had been a background story wife, I could have handled it, but the relationship had evolved during the game. It was like someone had personally assaulted me when this fictional 'wife' was taken. On the whole I can handle any amount of 'dark' descriptions, but I'm not a good yard stick. I usually watch horror movies for laughs (ok...not movies like 'saw' which I do not consider horror, but just gross.) Some would say that the Harry Potter series is pretty dark fantasy, particularly towards the end of the series (heck by book 3 with the description of the dementors.) Yet, I know many a parent that reads the stories to their kids. Then there are the Grim Fairy Tales. There are some twisted tales. People have issues drawing all sorts of lines. Hence why they compare it to other media to give a comparison...such as more LotR and less Pan's Labyrinth....or more Hills have Eyes and less Saw. Another line I frequently hear is that of Heroes. That the players want to be heroes. It usually is mentioned in connection to dark settings and they are usually thinking about LotR heroes. However when I think of heroes I think of the Ancient Greek Heroes whose meaning is performing tasks beyond the keen of mortal man. There is no alignment associated with that description of Heroes. Even modern fantasy uses that description such as Harry Potter in the Sorcerer's Stone when Olivander says he expects great things from Harry because of the wand (brother of Voldemort's) that chose him. In the greek sense Harry and Voldemort would both me heroes because they do things beyond the keen of the normal.
I think they are hitting their target market quite well. They were seasoned on Dungeon and Dragon and what sold their issues. I'm loving every bit of Pathfinder. Different groups get different mileages from the APs. My old group complained to me, the DM, that there were skulls in the description of a room. That they would have preferred me to not have mentioned it. I am glad I have found a new gaming group. Paizo has gotten me jazzed about gaming. Not that my interest was dying, but with every product I feel like reading, playing, and running Pathfinder. I love it! I want more! Sterling
Congrats on finishing!I look forward to running RotRLs in 3 weeks. and thanks for the time table. 192 hours! wow!
I definitely could use such maps. I printed out the goblin battles listed above today, but I'd love to have other maps with all the hidden stuff...well hidden...removed. Could you email it to me? 20mb limit per email.... sckeener at gmail dot com thanks
Are there any new updates now that the beta is out? Thanks,
echo if they are still available: sckeener at gmail dot com Thanks,
I 2nd the request for a Beta character sheet without my name...though I wouldn't mind it if it was just me, but I tend to have several around the gaming table in case someone has to make up a new character on the spot. I'm sure they would appreciate a character sheet without a name....my name...on the top.
How do I get the "Pathfinder Companion Subscription" without getting "Pathfinder Companion: Second Darkness (OGL)"? I already have "Pathfinder Companion: Second Darkness (OGL)"
My group decided last night to play Rise of the Runelords (it was just a question of when as I love Pathfinder) ....since I've been reading the APs since the beginning I've noticed changes in the rules....the most blatant example being feats in RotR vs the character traits (or half-feats) in the latest AP. What changes would you make to RotR looking back to fit more with the direction that Paizo is taking Pathfinder? Now with the beta out...how much would you change the first AP?
Are there any guidelines for customizing the summon monster list? I saw classed monsters were included in the Core Beliefs: Heironeous article. Thanks
I figured as much and that looks like a good formula. I'm probably just antsy because I am more a craft than crunch sort and for that kind of information the edition of D&D or even game system doesn't matter (much.) Thanks for the info.
I'm interested in seeing PDFs for the following Dungeon issues: Issues: 85,82,76,73,72,62,61,58,52,47=45,42,41,39-35,33-30,27,24-15,13,9-2
Any news on when the following 14 Dragon issues are going to be in PDF format? Issues: 251,252,254,261,262,263,265,274,275,277,278,279,284, and 290 Thanks,
Does anyone know when Dragon Magazine issue #298 is coming out in PDF? Thanks
Does anyone know of ANYWHERE where I can get a copy of this issue?! Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! Yall just saved my bacon! I needed to type up something about Divine Champions for Saturday (4-18) and I didn’t know how I was going to work it into my schedule. Now I can just edit for my game and I don’t have to have gaming books spread out in my work cube! Thanks a million!
next week we expect to launch new search options that allow you to restrict your search to just return Dragon-related results (or just our other titles), or just products in the store, or just messageboard posts. Thanks Vic! (now if I can just master Geas, maybe I can get every word of every issue included in the search...like the Dragon Magazine Archive....) Sterling
Dredging up this thread, is there any chance in the future that the search feature on the website could at least point me in the direction of what issue I should be looking for? At least until some electronic versions are available this would help me greatly. As for types of electronic distributions, I’m fine with watermarked (or DRM) PDFS or even better for me would be an online version where we can do searches (similar to consumerreports.org)
According to this link:
There should be an article called "A Novel Approach: Far Seer trilogy." I can't seem to find it in my issue. I wouldn't normally care, but I sent out the link last Wednesday to all my friends that are fans of Robin Hobb's 2 Farseer trilogies. We've always wanted to do that world in Ars Magica, but I was greatly interested in seeing it converted to D20. Does anyone know what happened to the article?
