Hey guys!

One of my player (Juho from Finland) made a drawing of the amulet! This one shows the three parts of the amulet joined together. You can cut it into three pieces and present them to the players when they find them! I thought I'd share it with you, since I think it's really cool!

Amulet joined together

Who cares about Americans anyway?

Usually other Americans, and people who need us to come save the world.

"People who needs us to come to save the world"

Well, as I said above, everybody is entitled their opinions. So let me state mine: USA is a great country and extremely important in the overall politics of the world, and a key ally to my country (Italy). But "saving the world" implies a judgment to which I cannot agree, and this judgment is "we are better than you and you need to be saved to see the right way to go". This is not acceptable. Most countries experiencing difficulties in the world do not need to be saved, they need their time to develop and reach a degree of democracy worth its name. And they are lately doing a good job of it: think about the arab spring.

OK here is the deal. Paizo is a business. A business is trying to make a profit. By said business making a profit, they pay taxes and employ people.

Paizo is also a small company, so they are not making say what Wal Mart makes.

It does not matter who prints, if I was the cheapest printer, and printing them in my back yard, and got a quality product out, and on time and was breaking no laws, Paizo has the choice to print with me.

So, Paizo goes out and prints American which increases the cost say the book 20%, 30%. So instead of a reasonably $50 for the book, it is now $65, $70, etc. How much is sale do they lose? How many employees can they not keep cause of cost of the book.

Yes it is shame many countries don't have the labor protections that we do in the US.

What is the Moralistic thing to do? Morals don't keep your bottom line cost effective.

AS for your leisure time, what about your computer? Your cell phone, your clothes, your sports.

I have nothing to answer to this, except that all of this is so american. I am not american, I am from Europe. And I don't agree with your statement, as nothing in this world justifies crushing other people. No cost effectivness, no profit margin, nothing. And yes, I know it is legal for Paizo to print in China. And I trust Paizo, I am sure they did their researches and picked up chinese printer that doesn't exploit people.

As for your idea of market ("as long as it is legal, I can do it") let me remind you that 100 years ago slavery was legal. That did not make it more moral than than now. Again, I am not politicizing it. I just happened to read where they print it on brought the issue here. And if "I go down", as you wrote earlier, well, I can always get up.
