Vladicu, this is exciting. I was certain you wouldn't reply. I'm glad you're sticking around to explain because I didn't understand a word of this. All I can gather is that, as a Christian, you dislike the name Paizo. Can you explain why?

No, but sorry for the back edit.


I did - and I'll let you chew on it. I'm done here. Something to think about though - the idea argued for above isn't something I would just dump on people who play good D&D.

The best charity is to satisfy a hungry person. That's good stuff from our Muslim friends. You, sirs and madames, haven't eaten in years - paizo.


Response to 'why not'?

1. How much do you get paid an hour for screening hypens?

2. Paizo the publisher should change its name to avoid the charge of tasteless crass piggy back.

You see, at best for the Christian you'd have Christian paizo plus something else. Most would stop there. Some don't. I say the game is good without the appropriation of the Christian, which already honors the term, can never be a game, and functions poorly as in not at all regards being an anchor especially if not declared by the person/group/or publisher piggy backing on its core term.

Thus, you could say, I'm a Christian and I play D&D and I'm damn good at both.
Bob Bledsaw Sr, both Judges Guild founder and member of the Church of the Nazarene (impaled by Death Metal, of course, or otherwise), certainly did both and on all accounts to excellence regards both endeavors.

But you can't say, I'm a Christian and I support this tamer D&D paizo. Not in game (as in pluck) terms. Not in current form as a piggy backed term with a coupling you can't get around. Such support amounts to a devaluing gold armor for bronze exchange experience for the Christian, which the Iliad itself and in more general and famous fashion rudely relays - Glaucus & Diomedes Book VI. Educated: Paizo the publisher knows this, and guess what, there they are...

In contrast, the band, Black Sabbath, doesn't even require such chinse as entry fee. Thus, there's better D&D out there. The adult kind. Clark Peterson saw my Savage Wilderlands art show, for example. It married world class art from across the gamut of fantasy, magical realism, and others both old and new tightly and with passion to theWilderlands Players Guide. This turned out to be frankly quite disturbing. Yes, yes, yes. At any price, trade, or rate, I'm not playing with anything less - it's called exquisite taste.

Now imagine, me a Christian, sharing paizo with you. It ain't gonna happen. On the other hand, are you a googler or someone who contemplates googol? Are you a game player or a gamer? Thus, (and vastly, truly, the moreso) if you, Paizo the Publisher, change your name, all good will surely then will flow to you and yours. And yes, at the end of the day, this is a fiscal argument, a business argument meant to be in your favor - you conceded f!$+s.

Or, rather - why not a contest to select a better name for the Publisher? Winner gets 1 year subscription to Pathfinder (this doesn't need to change) AP of his or her choice, eh?

Yet she(the girl in the corner, the passionate one, the one can kill you with a wink of her eye) - she don't care. She says today it makes good business sense. Says people are cruel. Wishes she weren't so fat.

I sure hope she calls... For at the end of the day after the jewels have lost their luster, all that's left is an old man's love for his daughter.

Go now, then, and kill this Salsa Doom and bring me back my daughter.

Fall off this. Call it cess pool to worth alchemy...

What if Google changed it's name to Googol?

What if the big eyed peepers turned into 1 followed by 100 zeros?

But until that happens, I live where the black man at the end of Gladiator placed me...

There, I live breathless, seething and frothing, bitter and dangerous -terrible as a Nazghul, dreadful, the dead Carsusa, the D&D after 40.

Carucua? What do you know about Carsusa? You loved Elias? I am Carcuruda - barricuda burp; that's heart. You ain't no Springsteen long tall waddy. You feeling alright? I'm not feeling too good myself. Traffic 1968 Vietnam (or heroin?) - oh yeah.


As if from the sea foam, 'I have written a chapter expressly on the practical direction of our charity.' This time it's looking and as Mairkurion rather says well also liking the old school. Why not A3 Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords and in three parts: professionalism, impossible missions, and fealty to and understanding of the government being served?

Das Boot? No way, that ship already had its bad time and under the auspices of better sailors. Ours would be more direct, clear, and simply given as but a wrenching of cowards. Down with tired irony of its ironic. How many times must we hear of this tepid new? Down with our profligate Federalistas. How much wait before from the threat of death by crushing weight she weighs in as about as much as a duck? So death to true perfidy. Death to the pretender(s) who stand before even Sauron and before all, flaccid, depraved, marauderless, unified, masturbating away even the notion of our time.

Breath (The Pretenders et al) - is it rally round the family with a pocketful of shells? The mortar and pestle repetition so demanded still yields granularity, potency: Jung's procreant - among others, the buckshot for Christians, the hollow point for Buddhists, and the sea shells for...

...the goddess, queen of well-builded Krypos!

I need to name a holy two handed sword that I am putting in my campaign for the Paladin.

And I am drawing a blank...

Please list any suggestions you have. Even if you think it's awful. It can be anything from real world words to made up words or even words in another language. You never know where inspiration might come from and right now I am needing some big inspiration.

The virtues are excellent choices. How bout Cold Truth? This was the name of the sun blade wielded by Thrym Twice Grim, a fell dwarven Paladin, the living embodiment and punishing Justicar of stern Muir.

My bad, Jester. The maraschino nestled atop the Of Dorothy's Pie as just argued for above must be, "And that's why we remember her..."

Yes, I'm very used to the zero-content rebuttal of my positions. What I've never gotten used to is the shocked looks on the faces of my interlocutors when they find that such rebuttals have zero effect on me.

Yep - and I agree with all of that, but you can't just dismiss gay and cruelly beset upon Dorothy. Modern day Hypatia? Sure, some of the intense, definitive, absolutely resplendent humanism of the ancient world is missing in the contemporary but heart itself is in the right place. And this organ is buttressed fiercely by good old fashioned Kansas horse sense and resolve. Here's the argument.

First, Dorothy has real style. Let's call this equity. Everyone has got at least a modicum (even the clod), and isn't this as well the content regards the fairest thing anyone ever noticed, said, loved et al about a person?

Second, she has bedrock substance. Call this gender, for everyone has got one of these too even if it's currently all mixed up or brutally bludgeoned under the bizarre croaking scrutiny of one's own loathing monstrous, let alone if it were rock solid like tres buff (& wealthy) Ken. Or sublime fabulous Barbie. Is she the dream of some little girl? Or perhaps the surly extreme? Friend, it is both sugar and spice...

It turns out then that both equity and gender whether feminist or otherwise concern the same Oz truth. There really is no place like home. The final proof is classical - in both word and deed Dorothy likewise loved her home, could never bankrupt it, wouldn't even know how.


Judy Garland (Dorothy): Words, and poetry, and prose! Oh my!

I also write this on the off chance that brave Mairkurian is an equity feminist (as opposed to say a gender one) - my rebuttal, sir.


Off topic, Josh? I wrote the above post. And I submitted to paizo messageboards and now regret doing so...

- that would be its last line if the technology supported our true exchange.


I've been giving Wilderlands' City State of the World Emperor some thought. It is arguably the baddest city around. If the original materials - the shops etc are available, link them to the master map. Then steal what seems useful in terms of flavor from Ptolus - much excellent material can be incorporated in this way as has been suggested on these forums regards Korsova, Cauldron, or any city for that matter. But then...

Why not Paizo's Curse of the Crimson Throne to inact the events that will occur if the Green Emperor dies? Sure, it would be Curse of the Emerald Throne, but Emperor's concubine (or queen, I can't remember original write up) could easily take the place of the queen of Korsova in the adventure path. Augment and change for locale and you would have mechanism worthy of driving the finest and greatest of all cities in the Wilderlands.
