Any word on what happened to this order? It was placed during the sale and I'm concerned the books I ordered are going to be gone.

It's been 20 days at this point, and it's still pending.

I emailed over the weekend looking for an update and haven't yet heard back.

Thanks.


I haven't gotten this in my hot little hands yet, so spill, people who've got it! How is it? What's awesome in it?


My name is one of the long list of contributors on the cover of the Koboldnomicon, which is published by Bards & Sages via Lulu. In most places, it's only available softcover (or as a PDF), but given that it's Lulu, there are hardcovers out there with my name on it. (I have one of them.)

Am I ineligible?


Where would you set U1 in Ptolus? Would you move the module wholesale into Rivergate or the Noble District (or elsewhere), or divide the locations up among several districts in the City by the Spire?


Has anyone made a plug-in to search Paizo's store catalog from the Firefox search bar? I use my Amazon one all the time.


I'm starting to plan out an adventure with ogres, and as a big, big fan of Paizo's goblins, and knowing there are ogres in the first Pathfinder AP, I was wondering if there was any chance we could get an ogre fluff preview on the blog.

I've got some fluff I'm using -- going back to fairy tales and having the half-human daughter of an ogre be a beautiful, if tall, apparently human protagonist in an adventure -- but would love some more.


I've ordered this, but since I've got it bundled with The Pirate's Guide to Freeport, it won't be arriving for a week or two.

In the interim, could someone give me the name and physical description -- but not the stats -- of the new spiked chain-like weapon detailed in this module? I've got a kobold champion about to put the smack down on a gnome player character.

Thanks.


You know, if ever there was a reason to bring the Tome of Horrors back into print, in color, having it be once again one of the first monster books available of a new edition would be it.

So, how about it?


Based on today's blog, I have to say, Curchanus sounds like a great god for a druid, especially one seeking to return humanity and animals to their previous legendary harmony.


You gotta like it when the "throwaway" setting has enough hooks to run multiple games in, instead of the towns in modules from multiple otherwise-excellent companies that are pretty much devoid of all hooks, and just serve as a rest and refuel station for adventurers.

It's nice to see a product with this sort of optional-but-appreciated polish!


You officially have too many things I want to purchase for me to afford at one time. A wishlist would let me buy affordable chunks while still keeping the list of all the other goodies I want to buy ...


Very interesting. They seem more powerful than worgs, unless they have very low hit points or other restrictions. Are they able to venture out into light? If not, that might suggest giant weasels as pets/daylight mounts for those rare daytime missions.


To combat the ever-looming "Fred the Fighter" phenomenon, I like to provide my players with sample names and surnames that NPCs use in a campaign. (I even submitted one such list for the Ptolus game world to the Delver's Square Web site. Hopefully it'll show up in a few weeks.)

Any chance of seeing such a list -- or at least naming conventions -- on the blog or in the first issue of Pathfinder?


They've been alluded to, but I'd like to see a real look at these guys in the blog soonish, and maybe even some crunch related to them in one of the first few issues of the not-magazine.

Please. :)


I really was blown away by all the fun fluff for Pathfinder goblins. I'd love to see a book compiling all the monsters used in Rise of the Runelords -- after it's done, or before, whichever -- with all the fluff, the stats and Wayne's reimagined looks, all in one volume, an alternative Monster Manual, as it were.

Failing that, just a book collecting all the fluff between two covers (including sketches or paintings showing the reimagined looks) would be well-liked.

At this point in D&D's history, I'm ready for a new fresh look at a lot of these monsters, and if the goblins are any indication, your take on things will be one I'll want to incorporate into my regular game.
