Hello James,
As much as I enjoy running Pathfinder for my group, I do find that the amount of work I need to do to fully flesh out a locale to be tedious and time consuming.

As a (cough) older DM, I don't have as much time these days, with work and family commitments taking up most of my free time.

What I am fortunate to have is a disposable income to buy the things to save me time.

Which is why things like the Waterdeep boxed set from WOTC, detailing every building and it's inhabitants appealed to me.

Alas, that level of time-saving rarely appears in Golarion, mores the pity.

I get that you paint the world in many broad strokes, which is fine, and could be kept that way.

But would it be possible to commission a series of greater in depth material for time-limited DM's like myself?

A sort of "Volo's Guide" to Magnimar, for example?

A "Venture Captain's" series?

Thank you James.

I see where you were going with this one, though it just came off as more weird, less funny. Funny-ish once I got it. I like the effort though. Don't let 'em keep you down, just keep plugging away.

Which is excellent advice in that situation.

I hail from the land of Shakespeare (England) and it's often said our humour is subtle and ribald. Most of my American friends feel it's just weird. It's said that British comedians have a hard time with American audiences, though to be fair, I think any non-native comedian is going to struggle with a native audience who are not their own. I find the diversity in humour wonderful, personally, and enrichening.

Have fun voting!

Hmmmm. A map ?
(Looks at garden seriously in need of a good turn over).
Oh hai! This is a "treasure map" with an "X" marks the spot...

Thank you both kindly for your time and advice.
It answers my question perfectly.
Subtle is key :-)

Hi all,
I have a question regarding entries for the RPG Superstar 2015 competition.

I'll give you 2 examples.

1. "This +1 Heavy Mace of Uber Power blah blah blah"

2. "This +1 Hellknight Heavy Mace of Uber Power is carried by some of the most zealous Hellknights and wielded against their most powerful foes..."

1 is bland, but legal.
2 is flavour, but could be seen as interfering.
(Although the use of "some) may mitigate?

Thoughts and comments gratefully received!

Thank you!
