Thanks, guys. :)

Dark Archive

Can somebody put a list of monsters included in the bestiary for this adventure, please?

She would probably find it difficult to imagine a female ruler. Ekaterina The Great was long time ago for her, and her mother was Christian fundamentalist so I don't believe that RL Anastasia, young as she was, could even imagine becoming an empress (which is a shame, and things are a bit different nowadays in the Romanov family).

Dark Archive

1) Who created magus class for 1e?

2) I know that you dislike answering rules questions, but I am writing a bit of fan fiction so I'd like to get some things in order in my mind and I'd appreciate your input:

In your opinion, if the Bladebound Magus uses Teleport Blade (as standard action) in combat to summon the blade to his hand, does he provoke an attack of opportunity?

Dark Archive

Does this mean that if you ever publish Unspeakable Future as you own Campaign Setting, it will use Pf 1e ruleset, or perhaps your own version of it?

Dark Archive

I'm fairly well informed about Scarred Lands and I have all the sourcebooks, including those for Pathfinder. Is recruitment still open?

Edit: If it is open, I'd be interested in playing Ranger Sword-Devil Archetype (perhaps Spell-less Ranger by Kobold Press if allowed)/Nightblade by Ascension Games.

Dark Archive

1) Have you translated Unspeakable Futures into Pathfinder 2e or do you prefer 1e for it?

2) Do you follow Advanced 5e project?

3) What are your thoughts about E6 style of gaming?

Hi, James.

1) Is your homebrew still called Unspeakable Futures?

2) Do you currently run any games?

3) If so, are those games online or in person?

Hey, ertw, big thanks from me as well. Your work is outstanding.

I hope it will be called Legendfinder. Seems appropriate.

Dark Archive

Hey all :)

I'm interested in a Mage Squad for one of my PCs. Has anyone done homebrew version of such squad?

Dark Archive

Is there a mage lord archetype, with a magic-based squad? Somewhere? Do you have some plans for expanding these rules for use with Corefinder?

Dark Archive

I'm sorry if I missed it, but was there any info on your intentions about feats that scale per level? I really recommend that you take a look at New Paths Expanded by Kobold Press. Both classes and feats presented there are excellent and I really like their approach to scalable feats, as well as what they did with Leadership.

Dark Archive

Do you have any plans about introducing spell points of some kind (mana points in my games) for spontaneous spellcasters?

Dark Archive

Do you plan to use some of Pf 3pp classes or other products? For instance, there's Kobold Press class called Theurg, that works really great. What about some fan favorites that aren't a part of PF due to Paizo's desire not to ruffle feathers, such as Warlock or Artificer - or Warforged on the racial side of things?

Dark Archive

Nope. I didn't even know this exists. But I do now and I'll use it in some way. Thanks!

Btw, my PCs are in Zobeck and they have one valravn (awakened raven) familiar, a cat sidhe and a lantern archont who will probably became familiars. I want to run a short adventure with them in mind, but city-based.

Dark Archive

Hey, guys.

I seem to recall that I've read an adventure published in Dungeon Magazine in which you play a bunch of familiars. Now, perhaps that was just a hallucination :) but I'd appreciate if any of you could help me out - is there in fact a low-level adventure with that theme? Perhaps not in Dungeon but somewhere else?

thanks in advance.

Dark Archive

Probably not, but then again - why not? :D

Dark Archive

In this day and age, perhaps the class name Ranger is a bit misleading. I have had a lot of discussions with people who came from MMO's and wanted to play Ranger class, but what they really wanted was to play a guy with a crossbow, not a nature-lover or hunter or whatever, so I'd suggest some other name, such as Wildlander or Wanderer. You should check out Spell-less Ranger by Kobold Press. It's very versatile approach to the class and can easily be adapted to all Pf 1e classes. Owen K. C. Stephens has done a great job with his talented classes, so that may be an inspiration?

Apropos perishables, in my games I rolled Brew Potion (and oils, powders etc.) into Alchemy skill and Scribe Scroll into Spellcraft. All other traditional Craft Item feats (Weapon, Armorm, Ring etc.) I've rolled into Imbue Item feat, with prereqs being knowledge of relevant skill.

Dark Archive

I would love 3 actions system and some simplification of combat.

Dark Archive

I second 4 + Int for skills. Also, I did away with class skills in my games. I let the players choose 4 "background" skills that are class skills for their character.

In addition to consolidating skills, I've consolidated some feats, such as Two Weapon Fighting (an example of that thinking can be seen in New Paths Expanded by Kobold Press) and improved some existing feats to scale by level. For instance, Weapon Focus gives additional +1 for every 5 BaB, Dodge gives additional +1 for every 5 ranks in Acrobatics etc.

I agree, and have thought that Scribe Scroll was just a redundancy for the Craft Calligraphy, or Linguistics, or Spellcraft... take your pick, the feat is worse than useless, it's a burden.

Same thing with Brew Potion and Craft Alchemy. There's absolutely no need for both.

I'm using a lot of houserules for my current (and several past) campaign - even before Unchained was published, I was using consolidated skills. For instance, I rolled Bluff and Intimidate and parts of Diplomacy into one skill, Influence, but I'll probably divide them into two - Deception and Intimidate, with parts of Diplomacy remaining in Deception and parts in my Society skill.

Brew Potion is rolled into Alchemy, and several other feats are rolled into other skills. For instance, Harvest Parts is a function of Skill Focus (Survival).

Dark Archive

Scribe Scroll should be a part of Spellcraft, with ranks in Linguistics as a prereq. Brew Potion should be rolled into Alchemy.

Roland's crew was located near Foul Bog, if I remember correctly. I don't mind to have only limited experience with the elves, basically seeing them only from afar or in passing.

But I'm very interested to see what do you plan to use as Wildlander? May I suggest Wanderer from AIME or Forester from Lost Citadel - an excellent take on Ranger-type class.

Dark Archive

My initial concept is a young Erenlander refugee, saved by Roland and taken beneath the boughs of Elvenwoods. His mother was a hedge-witch, taken by the legates to feed the black mirror, his father was a wandering rogue and trader, with penchant for loving and leaving wives in every other village. He learned the ways of forest and some magic tricks from the elves and now he yearns to strike back and avenge his mother.

Dark Archive

I'm very much interested. I ran a Midnight game or three here as well, a long time ago, so I know the setting pretty well. I ran it using Pathfinder, but if I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, I would recommend that you take a look at Adventures in Middle Earth for 5e. Classes are pretty-much ideal for use in Midnight and you can really easy use Scholar from AIME and just give it spell points to create an ideal channeler.

I'm thinking Wildlander right now, depending on your choice of systems.

Dark Archive

1) Have you ever watched

1a) Thundar the Barbarian cartoon?
1b) If you did, what rules system would you use to run the game set in that world?
1c) How would you stat Thundarr's sword using PF 1e? Or is there already something like that?

2) On pg. 66 of AP #65 there's an illustration of a Denizen of Leng, holding a crystaline weapon. If that weapon was magic item, what would it be?

Is there a named devil or some other evil outsider that uses halberd as a personal weapon?

Hi, James.

There's an NPC in Hellknight Hill called Alak Stagram. He is presented with a polearm weapon on pg. 20, but his stats mention that he uses a greatsword. My question is: What is the weapon that he holds in the illustration?

Completely understood! Believe me, I'm a HUGE Pathfinder 1E fan!

The reality is though ... Pathfinder 1E is no longer the current system, and until 2E comes out and can be evaluated by all the third party RPG companies (which happens this month) you're going to see most (not all, but certainly most) of the the main third party RPG companies ceasing to produce new Pathfinder 1E stuff.

Yeah, I understand that - but what's stopping you publishing for instance a pack of 10 ranger talents in one pdf under your own name, not under KP? Rogue Genius Games model is what I have in mind.

Of course, I'm fully aware that PF 1e will not be supported anymore. TBH, I'm afraid that even 2e will not go well against D&D 5e. It is what it is.

I have some trouble imagining how the Radia and Occlusion look like. Is the city in a bubble, with Occlusion forming the sides and Radia the top?

Well, in my homebrew the Blood War is going strong, but I changed a lot of things. For instance, I made Tiamat Chaotic and Empress of Chaos, merged Abyss with Far Realm and Chaos and added some of the Warhammer concepts to the game.

Cosmoginia and Reasons for Blood War:
In short, the multiverse was a mass of swirling Chaos in the beginning. In time, some beings coalesced from that Chaos. Some of those beings reveled in Chaos and others abhorred it. The conflict between those two groups of primordials defined the planes and the laws of the multiverse.
The mightiest of the champions of law were the Twin Serpents: Jazirian, winged and feathered, who dedicated herself to the cause of Good; and Asmodeus, scaled and forked of tongue, who became the embodiment of evil. When Asmodeus took Jazirian's tail in his mouth and she did the same with his, they formed a circle and demarcated the planes from the original Chaos, that will eventually become known as the Far Realm.
After uncounted aeons, the Twin Serpens started to struggle for the supremacy of the Good or Evil. Eventually, they tore themselves apart.
Jazirian flew to the heavens and Asmodeus fell to hell. That fall was so deep that he fractured the plane of hell into nine parts.
But the multiverse functions by the Law of Three. It is not known why. At the time that Jazirian and Asmodeus formed ouroboros there were other entities who watched from the swirling mas of Chaos. One of those was their unnamed sister, who took the shape of serpent with what would later be known as humanoid upper body. She was filled with envy and hatred because Asmodeus rejected her, favoring their winged sister. That entity remained in the Chaos, birthing other beings and positioning herself as the ultimate enemy of Asmodeus and his offspring, born from his blood as he fell to the depths of hell. She became known as the Empress of Chaos and that was the real cause of the Blood War...

Empress of Chaos

The third sibling that has risen from the primordial chaos later became known as Tiamat. As Asmodeus became the lord of Hell, so she became the goddess of evil dragons, but Asmodeus' rejection stings her still, so her malevolent mind is the driving force behind the Blood War. She would love nothing more than to tear down all of Creation are return it to the chaos that spawned her and her siblings.

Dark Archive

This is a system-neutral book, so you should be OK with PF 2e. I plan to use it as a campaign setting for new playtest.

Dark Archive

How would you compare it to a Hexcrafter Bladebound Magus?

Dark Archive

Some questions for both Marc and Wolfgang:

1) Do you have any plans of doing a write-ups of Iconics for each class presented here?
2) If not, how would you look at fan-made Iconics, inspired by the art in NPEx? Would that be OK with you, from legal side of things?

Dark Archive

Needless to say, we are breathlessly awaiting Return to Castle Shadowcraig as well :)

Dark Archive

Oh, I get it now. Well, I expected the price to be slightly higher than the price of original book, so that's OK.

Dark Archive

There will not be an option to buy pdf only? Shipping costs to Europe would kill me :) and I really can't wait for someone to travel to States to bring me hard copy.

Dark Archive

Is pricing known for pdf?

Dark Archive

This looks EXACTLY as Leopold von Stross, one of the PCs in my Midgard Campaign. The reason why I'm asking questions about Warlock is because he plays Black Blade Hexcrafter Magus, and I was thinking of encouraging him to play Warlock instead.

And I really mean - exactly as Leopold. Wow.

Dark Archive

Can you tell us something about the new warlock?

Dark Archive

Oh, please, please make it public. I can't support kickstarters because archaic laws that regulate paying over the internet in my country but I can buy pdfs once they become available. And I really need info on Shadowcraig.

Dark Archive

Hey, Mark, I don't know if you are the right person to ask this, but do you know if the Return to Castle Shadowcraig will be available as pdf to people who are not backers?

White-haired Kariv approaches Doctor Rok Daudagr. He bows slightly and with a gravely voice says: "My Mistress, Baba Svetlana, seeks the indulgence of your presence. You may choose two companions, if you wish, and join her for dinner tonight. Do you accept?"

Dark Archive

The caravan moves on. Minotaurs are huffing, the draft horses have stopped neighing and it seems that they are recovered from the fear and near panic caused by the griffon. The things have settled and the night slowly draws in. Some time after dark, a tall Kariv, with a hair as white as snow and a prominent scar running down his face and neck approaches the travelers who are following the last car.

ooc]Please roll d20 + status[/ooc]

Dark Archive

Oh, man. And I just got back my internet service. Stay safe, Steven.

Dark Archive

Faced with a disapproval of so many armed strangers, the fat man start to sweat even more prominently. "I have payed to join this caravan and enjoy its protection - not to be bullied by the riff raff such as you! When the night comes and Baba Svetlana opens the doors to her wagon, I will lodge a complaint!" He sharply turns and leaves you alone.
