Hey guys,

I'm coming back to PRG's after an 8 year hiatus and figured I'd start where I left off.

I left right during the transition of D&D3.5 to 4.0. I bought into pathfinder as a way of riding that 3.5 sweetness without the bloat.

I'm a longtime DM, ran shackled cities, the Runelords adventure path, several D&D games, cthulhu, indie RPGs aplenty.

I'd like to get an oldschool 3.5/pathfinder group going again, but this website is so confusing. Could someone tell me what happened here?

Fill me in on the last 8 years of pathfinder/paizo history.

It looks as if the world has gone the way of world of darkness with sourcebooks aplenty and region books, etc, etc, etc...

Are the rules the same? What's changed? How many 3rd party companies are there now? What's the scoop?
;)

Cheers mates!
Sam

Does anyone have a STAP blog up and running?
I'm going to start running the adventure in January.
Are there any good resource websites (besides this one) with fan-made ST material?
Cheers,
Sam

Subscribers are only getting a 30% price reduction on Pathfinder instead of a 35% reduction.....

Hmmmmm..... very sneaky.

Also,
Paizo only has to pay one round of parcel post for the magazine rather than 2 for Dungeon and Dragon (a savings of $4 an issue according to staff from another post).

This really is too much.....

I guess this explains why there isn't going to be an Age of Worms Hardcover after all.
Poop.

I have to say this brings up a lot of emotions in me. I grew up with Dragon magazine and to see it go makes me very sad.
Very very sad.

Yet at the same time I feel tremendous anger towards WOTC. Dungeon magazine has transformed in the last 2 years to one of the best DM resources available.

Would it not be possible to just change the names of the magazines and continue to publish just as you have been minus protected content?

I'm going straight to the WOTC message boards and letting them know how pissed I am at them for this decision.

OMFG!
My usualy inept group showed a surprising burst of teamwork and quick thinking last night!
They killed Vitrus Bale in 4 rounds!
What happened was the rogue got trapped in the room alone with the dracolich.
Fearing for his life he jumped down into the pit to land on a pile of money (the dracolich followed). The rest of the group cleared the icy tendrils leading down the hallway to the room with a fireball and D.Doored down to the rogue upon seeing his plight. Once down there the lich blasted everyone with acid and flew off in the darkness.
Thats when the rogue came up with "I search for his phylactery."
Crap!
They found it and began trying to destroy it (thank you hardness of 20).
The lich paniced, flew over to the group,and grappled the rogue who was holding the phylactery.
One person dispel magiced the lich to get rid of his mirror images, the cleric then cast Heal upon it doing 130 damage out of 130 hp the lich had..... what!!!!
they killed my dracolich!

Doh!

Hi Delvesdeep,
From what I've heard of your run through of the the SCAP from your posts I'd be very interested in reading your blog or SCAP journal if you've got one. Do you post anywhere about the adventures of your party?
Cheers,

Hmmmm, is it possible to embed pics in a post?
And if so, how do I do it?

The store front lists them as being pon pre-order for an expecte release of last wednesday. Is this an error? Have you already recieved them?
Cheers,
Sam

Does anyone here bind there magazines into hardcovers?
Where do you send them off to? I'm looking for no more than $60 a volume.
Do you know what method of binding is used (ie: notched gluing or oversewing).
Is there enough margin for oversewing?
Cheers guys,
Sam

I've already got he PDF version, but I really want to get a hold of a physical copy.
Does anyone know of a seller who has any?
I'd be very very greatfull!
Thanks,
Sam

Hey guys,
Can anyone point me to a link to their blog, story hour, group session write ups of their group's run through the schackled city adventure path.
I'm about to start running the campaign and would love reading others run through it.
Cheers,
Sam

I know about the core magazines 124-135 of Dungeon, but which Dragon or Dungeon magazines besides these contain other usefull info. I've heard of "Wormfood" articles....
Cheers,
Sam

My question's in the title.
Will Paizo publish a hardback for the age of worms adventure path like they did for the shackled city?
I haven't imvested in the magazines as I've been waiting for the book, but with still no word I'm starting to get worried.
Cheers,
Sam
