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).

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.

Grimlock monks...

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 :)

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

Thank you! He asked me Wednesday night actually...so we were engaged for about two days hee hee.

For Vegas that is a long engagement lol

I think but not 100% sure that WotC had an article on how to break the different vampire abilities out over levels. I know they did it for aasimar, tiefling and drow so someone could start out playing them as lvl 1 characters then as they went, raise their race or class levels as they wished.

The Age of Lost Omens is actually a 'Trading Jobs' day between Aroden and Cayden Cailean. Who everyone thinks is Cayden is actually Aroden on a booze cruise. People then ask where's Cayden->Aroden? Being himself, Cayden blew off work and went across the border to the neighboring cosmology and is still drinking...

This came up when I didn't have my book with me, and when I went to borrow one was told this came up in the forums... So here I am.

In a trap laden place (which my character was specifically *told* there would be traps), I stated I wanted to start taking 20 on perception checks to find traps. I was told that I couldn't, because failure carried negative effects.

The logic seems to be that I can't take 220 because it assumes you 'roll' a 1, 2, 3... and so on till you get to 20, presumably failing several times along the way. In the case of looking for traps failure equates to concluding that there are *no* traps and the character continues on, thereby triggering the trap.

This sounds like horseapples to me, and a cursory search in this forum didn't support this logic, so what say you? Is there RAW or RAI support for this argument?

BTW I'll have similar questions for a couple other things soon.

Pretty sure they use Perception as an example for taking 20 on a search check. Put it this way, if you fail a Search check for traps, the failing itself doesnt cause a negative effect. You roll a low search check then go a different way w/o springing a trap you failed to notice, what's the negative effect? Nothing.

Isn't Erastil's opinion of Caydean that he needs a strong woman to settle him down? I think Erastil believes a man or a woman can be strong willed, they just need to apply to helping/guiding others instead of just running around doing just as they please.

as long as SKR doesn't design Harsk's...

Maybe have Ameiko mention that her father thought about making Tsuto join the Black Arrows at some point. I don't have my books with me and it's been awhile since I read them.

If goblins have songs what do hobgoblins and bugbears have?

Hobgoblin play recitals?

Bugbear miming?

Bugbear Karaoke

So, when will you tell them that a dwarf's speed is never affected by his weight carried? :)
