Pinging this back up to the top. Any chance we could get an official response on the missing deck lists? Even if the response is "We aren't going to do deck lists anymore"?
Nice catch. Revised: and even then I'm not sure that you have the rights to use the artwork (was it ever used in the paizo blog or did you contact the artist?) http://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo5lgjd?Yo-Scurvy-Dog-I-Heard-You-Lik e-Villains
Thanks so much for the update Mike! I'm excited to continue to read these designer diaries. My physical collection continues to grow, and I've spent many hours on the digital. One thought - I love the way the Obsidian app presents rare / legendary / loot cards. Some of that can't be done in physical form (ie curly flourishes beyond the card) but some might be possible. This heightens the sense of power growth in the app. My character goes from the standard edged cards to a set of rare, legendary, loot items. I have visual cues just in the card edge and appearance that this character is not to be messed with. And when I draw from my deck and see that flash of a gold loot item coming into my hand, I can't help but grin. The monsters aren't going to know what hit them. One way to implement this could be to provide "boosters" for previous APs. I for one would totally buy a 50-100 card pack that gives me some unique looking cards for one of the past APs. A few ideas of what could come in that, using Skull and Shackles as an example: * Foil versions of the existing Loot cards - I'm drooling imagining a shiny Svingli's Eye
Keep up the great work man! I'm excited for what's coming!!
Hard Cider and Manhattans. Cider - I spent a month in England this year, and loved how every pub would have cider on tap. Really most anything will scratch the itch, dry or sweet. Samuel Smith's, Hornsby, even Woodchuck. Manhattans. I am currently barrel aging my own mix with local-to-me Stranahan Colorado whisky, equal parts sweet and dry vermouth, and Fee Bros. Rhubarb bitters. It's been aging about a month now, and comes out so smooth.
This claims Episode VII will be an "original story" and not the Thrawn books.
Stoner Sense - You know where the nearest bodega is and where the last Funyun fell. Spelling Bane - Target is unable to remember if it's i before e or the other way around. Sappy Master - You are skilled at composing treacly sweet and sentimental sayings.
Back, and with Wondrous Items! Apparatus of the Imitation Crab - Enchanted food processor transforms 1 pound of Alaskan Pollock into "crab" spread. All creatures who see the spread must make a will save or spend 1d4 rounds helping themselves to "just one more cracker." Bag of Withholding - Gold put into the Bag of Withholding is deducted from your Wealth by Level, allowing you to complain to the GM that you are underpowered. Efficient Quivering in Your Boots - Magical boots make fear more efficient. -2 to all fear based will saves, but any fear effects only last for one round and can be dismissed with a move action.
Telekinetic Charge of the Light Brigade - You may launch up to 600 allies into battle at a distance of half a league. Most of them will probably die, though. Feather Fallout - Infuse one tiny or diminutive object with nuclear radiation. The object gains a nuclear aura of 15 feet and deals 1d6 negative energy damage per round to anyone within that aura.
Handy for wizards who are getting on in years!
Intercontinental Ballistic Misdirection - While this spell is active, if you would be affected by a spell or spelllike effect and the caster does not have line of sight to you, the spell is instead redirected to your nearest foe. Word of Recall Me Maybe - A somewhat less effective version of the popular teleportation spell. On a percentile roll of 25%, the caster is instead transported to a teenybopper concert.
St. Elmo's Fireball - You point your finger and unleash a howling ball of Emilio Estevez which deals 1d6 contractual damage. For every added caster level, you may add to the ball an additional brat pack actor or actress from the cast of Breakfast Club or St. Elmo's Fire for an additional 1d6 of damage. Shield of Faith no More - You are surrounded by 1d4 axe wielding musicians who act as meat shields.
I introduce the cousin to the comically mispelled spell: THE SPELLMANTEAU. 1. Take a spell.
/revive thread. The Wheel of Time is done (ish). Brandon has finished the final revision of A Memory of Light. Thank goodness. Now he can get cracking on Stormlight 2 :)
Axe Cop?
True, it does drive up the cost of labor, but that doesn't have to mean those jobs go away. I love the suggestion I read somewhere of creating a sort of "Fair Trade" brand for online shipping. If we had a choice between online retailer A who slowly sucks the souls out of their shipping staff and retailer B who provides a decent job with benefits (and charges more for shipping) a good number of people would choose retailer B. Not all, but enough to make it worthwhile.
Journey to the Center of Golarion. An AP that has the characters spend the majority of the books underground. I think this could be a powerful “escape” story. Instead of a “man vs man” type conflict, which is what you have for most of all of the APs, the theme in the beginning would be “man vs. nature.” Characters start off as slaves, having been hauled into the ground to work the remainder of their miserable lives as miners. One cataclysmic earthquake later, the characters are deeper than any surface dweller has ever been with a mile of solid rock between them and the surface. At first, their goal is simply to escape and find some way to the world above. Along the way, they discover Impending Doom™, a disaster being helped along by a race of elementals. In their race to stop Ensuing Chaos™, they encounter underground ruins, utopias with mutant dinosaurs, vast oceans of magma, a svirfneblin civil war, and unlikely romances (just for kicks and giggles). All ™s are firmly tongue in cheek ;) I hope someone steals this and makes it!
Ike and Tina do the best rock band the United States ever produced. I feel a cover chain coming on... CCR does Little Richard - Good Golly Miss Molly
