Tessius's page

Yeah. At least get us a new "the site is down" screen. ;)

and a blog of all the things the impatient employees say while it is down :) please.

Urgotha having a child that was stolen from here was also discussed in Ashes at Dawn, I believe. Somewhere in Carrion Crown. I hadn't put all these puzzle pieces together, however!

also in Rule of Fear or one of the carrion crown entries, it mentions

Summon monster footnote:

When you use a summoning spell to summon a creature with an alignment or elemental subtype, it is a spell of that type.

Cleric class:
Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells: A cleric can't cast spells of an alignment opposed to her own or her deity's (if she has one). Spells associated with particular alignments are indicated by the chaotic, evil, good, and lawful descriptors in their spell descriptions.

Thanks Sean. I knew if I didn't get it quite right, someone would post a direct quote.

Also, unless they changed it, if a spell is used to summon an outsider, the spell gains the alignment types of said outsider. And clerics can't cast spells with alignment types opposite their own.

Quick question... Are there as many threads about how to create more flavor fun as there are threads about how to fix the system to make it numerically more fun? I can't find that many and wonder if this part of the game is as interesting to other posters as it is to me.

I may just be getting wistful but those threads seemed to be more common here before PFRG came out. Since Paizo didn't have its own ruleset, the site was a lot more campaign ideas/questions, stories and questions about the magazines (Dragon and Dungeon).

You're not merely wistful, you're just looking in the wrong place.

This is the Pathfinder RPG general discussion forum. By definition, the creative threads get moved to homebrew or to the various setting or product sections, like the AP threads.

Homebrew is great for creative rule use, it is my favorite forum, but even that is dwarfed by the creativity, utility, and friendly collaborative spirit you find in the individual AP forums. In those forums, complete strangers put their time and effort into making your life easier. It's amazing.

If you prefer cordial experimentation with the rules, or discussion of specific campaigns and settings, and you dislike general, generic theorycraft... you should click the little triangle next to PFRPG general discussion and hide the forum. I've done so myself, many times.

Thanks EL. I rarely search for something specific. I usually only just skim the most recent posts list on the right and look at those. It's good to know that those other posts aren't as rare as I thought.

"Wrath of the Righteous" is the official title.

Nice :) at the posters before James, I wasn't waiting to hear only from him. I only just got back from a Skulls and Shackles game. Thanks for the answers!

Probably is an effort to get more public use of Georgia Street. The city did a great job turning it into a public hangout during the Superbowl Village. They've recently been scheduling events a few times a month there to bring crowds back.

Thanks for the replies lady and gentlemen, especially during the holiday. Like I said, I meant to pledge last week but working in Accounting, end of month can get a bit busy. As for the swag, I meant to donate in the $150 range or a little more but didn't get to it. Either way, it's great to see how successful the kickstarter was for RA. I still have hardcopies of the first book for 3rd edition as well as copies of a few other necromancer adventures. Too many players think that having a pc survive until campaign end is a granted and I'm glad that necromancer and now FFG are dedicated to the challenge of 1st and 2nd edition :)

Now I'm thinking I should go with my other choice and stay at the Redmond Inn down the road and just walk the mile to and from the con. Cheaper room rates, free parking and wireless internet, and all my my vacation money still accessible for use with a little extra added on.

I'd suggest double checking the Redmond Inn concerning their incidentals policy. I think a lot of this comes up from the increased use in debit cards instead of just credit cards.

That stuff always made me mad, I worked front desk before I was in accounting. They should put a note on reservation in the computer, as well as any logbook they keep at the desk. If they have a manager on duty log it should go there too. Wow, I actually just finished reading the guest's posting. If it's all true, that hotel messed up majorly several times. The fact the police officer called down to the desk and then less than an hour later the desk called the cops again is horrible.

Grr meant to make a pledge last week but was busy with work. *Question* If we didn't participate in the kickstarter, is there still a way to get a hardcopy? I clicked on Rappan Athuk under products on the froggod page but it only leads to the kickstarter page.

This is standard for the hotels I've worked at. It's usually a fixed amount per day, ie $35 per day at my property. Prepaid cards can act a bit odd on the card company side since we authorize one amount but then final settle for a lower amount.
Also if it's a debit card, the pending authorization can sometimes appear to be a finalized charge instead of just pending. It can take several business days the final amount to appear correctly and despite it being mainly computerized, settlements or credits posted over the weekend usually don't start being processed until monday or monday night.
If you notice a pending charge is still hanging on much past 5 business days, I'd suggest calling the accounting department of the hotel, verifying the final amount they show versus what your online account shows, and if need be asking if they could call your card services number (usually the toll free number on the back of your card). Usually the they can confirm the correct total with your card company and then your card company can release the extra pending or issue a temporary credit until the release goes through on its own. However, some banks or card companies won't even confirm the hotel's own transaction information unless the cardholder is on the line.

I dunno...mayyyyyyyybe give him a chance, help him out, teach him how to play the game well in a really rewarding way, and help to create the next generation of good RPG gamers?

Definitely that, but the op said he's not very mature. I didn't say use the wand immediately :) Although I will say the most fun I had in a while was when a bunch of 20 somethings had a 12 yr old new roleplayer join our group.

depending on the level of the brother's character, by a wand of sleep?

Grimlock monks...

ooh, could this be another Snowmageddon?

You might try Games 2d4 over on Raceway Road.

Just south of Rockville on Raceway, Games To "d6" For with the d6 an image of the appropriate die

Did anyone from Paizo come down with Con-funk? Also, as aside to visiting Fountain Square in Indy, stop by the Arsenal Gameroom off Virginia Ave on the way. Started playing in a weekly game there and all the tables have been PF whenever I've been there :)

As for bribes, I'm pretty sure if you got Lisa a 1978 Han Solo MOC figure, signed by Harrison Ford, you'd be first on the shipping list forver.

** spoiler omitted **

what's MOC?

Que? He adlibed the line the priestess said right before he did?

(going off topic, I've found it interesting how the BBC credits differ from the Sci-fi credits. No body count for example.)

I might be late on this, but he adlibbed it him saying it when he noticed how 'blah' everyone was. As for the survivor's count, the first several episodes of season one didn't have it on the opening credits. they started doing it when they started having the minimontage from each episode at the start.

He'll get mugged for his 'stache.

I was hoping that he wouldn't leave that. I'm more of afraid of it mugging ppl than the opposite.

One those big pipe ones like a cathedral's I hope. Indy needs more organ music.

A spell to go in the book with Bigby's Groping Paw and Bigby's Fondling Fingers.

What that spell in an early OotS strip? Evard's Forceful Intrusion?

And somewhere, a guy with a wooden-magno doll fetish opens his box and goes, "WTF?"

For those who don't get it. He's claiming offense at the portrayal of the iconic fighter, and how often he's dying or getting overwhelmed in the various art, as opposed to all the iconics for other classes. Not offense at the depiction of blood or being attacked.

Also, he claims that he's offended by the suboptimal creation of said iconic fighter, what with being both TWF and using two different kinds of weapons for it, says it's influencing his players to make actively bad feat selections.

It's partly trolling, and partly protesting how melee martial builds are at the bottom.

Actually he's parodying the "Pathfinder covers w/o sexy art" thread., and how some people in America have an issue with sexual images or topics but not violence.

Now if he talked about Dungeons Iconic Paladin getting chewed up, that would be valid.

That 2009 photo of Lilz, Lisa, and myself is one of my favorite GenCon photos! Good year and good times!

I was wondering who that was on the right. I can't believe it's already been 4 years since Pathfinder launched! When I snagged my Kharzoug cover copy of PF#1 Lisa was working the register. I got to chat with James Jacobs for a few minutes at the front of the booth and a few minutes after meeting Lilith, she and I took on the dungeon of old Cosmo's avatars(Swords of Sin dungeon delve) that Chris Self ran us throught (I think). I played it twice and F. Wesley was running it the other time. Good times :)

Happy Birthday!!

Fyi I questioned the apparent double billing the first time I ordered something from Frog God. It wasn't a double bill, just a double reciept. Sounds like this might be the same thing here.

Yeah after checking the 3 emails I received about the purchase I figured that could be it and I'd wait and see if a 2nd charge popped up. Glad I decided to check this thread this morning. I thought I'd deleted that post once I decided to wait and see.

Grr Pay Pal, think My card might have charged by FGG website and my paypal account dinged. What's the best way to shoot Bill Webb an email? A link on the FGG website?

Having gone through the proofs, I can tell you that the book was 794 pages before Clark added the legal appendix, has over 750 monster in it, 7 appendices of templates, new planes, new feats, new poison types,...

Nice, now I'm trying to remember how thick Ptolus is. Not sure which room my copy is in atm :(

Someone in another thread mentioned Lisa saying something to that effect but I thought he was trying to stir something up or misinformed. Wow, and Congratulations!

For a version of dwarves I actually quite like, check out how Bioware handles them in Dragon Age—those dwarves are excessively crude and foul mouthed and have a really backstabby kind of personality. Almost like gentler, hairier drow.

There's a dwarf in Dragonage II that I didn't even know was a dwarf till I started playing the game and saw him next to other characters.

Why not just set the Epic level stuff on another continent, like say Casmaron around the Pit of Gormuz? If the epic stuff is so busy fighting each other they would have very little effect on the rest of the world.

The field around the Inner Sea continents that prohibit the physical entry of such powerful Beings,usually with explosive results? Ask Aroden about it...

Is there anyway to do this?

Yes. Ask your GM politely, inquire if it'd be a reasonable feat. Unless your game uses some sort of expansion material that keys off of Spellcraft checks, it's just a feat that's slightly better than Skill Focus. I think it'd be a perfectly reasonable feat.

What AMiB said or even a trait, maybe a social or Faith one.

If you were to portray dwarves how you want to, what would that look like? I know you've mentioned no Scottish accents, but beyond that?

...sure the editorial feedback would go so well. And people think the writer's pit is scary now.

Hello,

I'm trying to start a Pathfinder group in the central Indiana area. I have over two decades of experience running RPG games and can guarantee some fun times!

The sessions would be held at Gamerz just south of County Line road in Greenwood. Days of the week and times to meet are open for discussion. I need at least four people to get started, but will take up to eight.

I create my own adventures, but I'm not opposed to running published adventures from time to time.

Thanks

Adraxis, I'm definitely interested. email me at gcvargo at yahoo dotcom.

edit: I missed a letter in the email first time.

I've got quite a few tags... what does one need for Pathfinder Superscriber? I assume Paizo Superscriber is ALL subscriptions...

Adventure Path, Modules, Companions, RPG, Pathfinder Tales. I think that's it but maybe mappacks too. Those are all of mine.

It looks like this.

doh!, I got the 'd' and 'ol' right at least.

I think it is Paizo Superscriber.

Same, where's Taig or Daigol at?
