So I am PFO backer (did the $100 donation), but completely brand-spanking new to Pathfinder, Paizo, and of course PFO.
Questions...
1.) What is the GoblinSquad group and is that the Goblin icon over users' avatars here on the messages boards? How do I get one? And I can't seem to find any code to link my account here with the Kickstarter pledge I made. And is this tied to the backer survey supposedly coming soon?
2.) Is there any plan to move or switch to a 'purdy' forum and PFO site any time soon? Such as a nice base for the PFO community that doesn't have to visit this slow Paizo board all the time? :-)
3.) I do know that Pathfinder was created out of a modified version of the open game license from 3rd edition D&D, since there was some criticism about it. But aside from rules and mechanics, is there a good place to start out with reading up on the lore that exists so far in Pathfinder? I've seen mention of alliances/factions, the different races, and the different Pathfinder RPG products. But as an absolute noob to Pathfinder, does anyone have any good recommendations on reads/books/pdfs for an intro to Pathfinder?
My gaming community, which is multiple guilds (teams) in multiple games, has members who are interested in PFO and backed it. Several of us did the $500 guild backer, others like me when with individual donation packages. But if you'd like to check us out: http://www.hammerfistclan.com/forum/f229/pathfinder-online-intro-reference- 553962/
I'm one of three pushing the charge for PFO within my gaming community, so please, I'd love your help to visit the link, read what I have, and point out any inaccuracies about PFO I posted. That will help better represent PFO to my community.
Thanks! :-)
