Hey, guys. I feel that you've done excellent work on Pathfinder. I've been very pleased with the service and the product. However, my party still hasn't finished the first book, and we are about to buy a new home (so we're tightening our budget somewhat, and unfortunately, games are the first things to go.)

So, I would like to cancel my Pathfinder subscription (am I just missing a way for me to do this on the subscription page, or are we supposed to start a thread?)

Thanks for the product. If/when my party finishes the books, it is likely that I'll purchase the next AP (or, perhaps the one after that, depending on the whole 3.5/4 standing.)

Hey, all. I've been reading through the boards and see a lot of posts about a lot of different software products (including Excel ;)) that people use to run a game. I'm looking for something to facilitate my own game, but my game is face-to-face. I just hate the time wasted drawing parts of a dungeon as my players explore...a hallway/room at a time.

Here's what I'm looking for:
A piece of software which
1)will allow me to display a map (most likely on a 2nd monitor) which can be revealed in parts easily as the group explores (fog of war.) I would PREFER something that auto reveals as you move the figures (a la Battlegrounds) but that would take walls/doors/etc. into account (realizing that I would need to setup the map beforehand to tell what lines would act opaque for line-of-sight.)

2)will allow me to display the same map on my own screen without the fog of war, allowing me to place traps/monsters/etc. during the course of the game (dice rolls/notes optional.)

3)will allow me to move tokens that represent players/monsters/npcs/traps/etc. around the map (the locations of which would be rendered real-time on the 2nd monitor.) Hopefully, this would also indicate visibility of the token regarding current light sources, also.

I've played around with Battlegrounds some...and I mostly like it, but the fog-of-war seems a bit too manual for my tastes (or it allows them to see through walls, which is worse.) Also, the manual reveals don't seem to line up very well with the example lines...that is, if I draw a rectangle on the screen, the actual reveal is shifted slightly from the lines that show during the dragging process.

I've looked at screenshots for Fantasy Grounds, but haven't really checked it out, yet. I *MUCH* prefer the way that Battlegrounds looks (and the ability to scan in or copy a map from Pathfinder,) but I'm going mainly for functionality.

It is POSSIBLE for me to use a 2nd computer as a client for the players, but I'd prefer to do it all on one machine, just using 2 monitors.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tigarri

Hey, guys and gals.

Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to increase the difficulty easily to accomodate 7 players? I know on some encounters I can simply increase the number of goblins/etc., but on the named encounters, I can't very well have 2 bosses. I assume I can advance them, but what is the easiest way to do so? And how far up should I advance?

Thanks,
Tigarri
