Looking for players or DMs to start a Pathfinder game on the weekends. Sat/Sun night are free for me. Monday night is also free if need be. I'm looking for something starting from scratch. I'd rather not DM and if I do we need some people willing to maybe DM another campaign eventually. As long as I get some player time it's all good. I live in Ukrainian village but as long as we are CTA accessible I'm there.

Anyway guys if anyone is interested let me know. :)


I'm pretty new to the city and have a softcover copy of the beta playtest I've been dying to use. But now that I'm here and away from my gaming group I got no roleplaying goodness :(. Anyway I'm looking for a group to join or some people to form a group. I'd rather not DM but i'm desperate enough to give it a go with a group that wouldn't mind alternating at some point. I live in the lakeview area. I would like to find people accessible by cta...

Back to alpha on the "my Downloads" page.

Now I know how my cat feels when I use the laser pointer.

"Oh...there's the Beta [Pounces]...nope...just alpha. Won't fall for that twice...OH BETA [Pounces]"

Haha great analogy :) meow.

I just downloaded a second copy of the alpha!?!?!?!?!

OK So technical problems are obviously gonna happen...

I'm sure it'll be fixed soon. Paizo rocks :)

He said 36 meg, right? So if it says Beta, but it's 12 Mb, it's an alpha.

Back to refreshing!

"Wull, it look'd laik a Beta, en ut sez ut's a Beta, BUT..."

i wonder if refreshing madness is affecting him posting it...

In the same light,

Are the Pathfinder modules really that good? I've done the beginning of Age of Worms before I knew what Paizo was, so I have that sort of test in my mouth. But that's it.

Should I start at Pathfinder #1, is it still viable?

I'm having a total blast as a player :). I haven't had the pleasure of playing any of their other paths yet though. I really like the characters and the setting in general a lot so far :).

I'm refreshing here, knowing that the second it is up, someone will let me know.

But... what if they don't? *Shifty eyes*

Can you trust... them?

Trust them to be giddy and excited when it gets released? Yes, absolutely.

If they don't get giddy and excited I'll make sure to do it for them. I just found out from my roommate that we are continuing our Rise of the Runelords campaign today :). We are on the Fortress of the Stone Giants.

So, which page is everyone actually refreshing? My Downloads?
Anyone have an answer? :)

I have my Downloads page scrolled to the Alpha Release. I don't refresh it every second. Maybe every 2. :)

Please don't refresh-bang Gary's poor server!

it only lets you refresh so quickly...i found out.

I'm just down in Highland.

What's that, like 20 minutes?

Yeah I think so.

To the other question...I believe it's my downloads but not sure.

Soon moving to Chicago though.

yay official word! *got my download finger ready*
You can rest your finger for at least a couple hours -- I won't be in the office until 6:30 a.m., and at that point Gen Con stuff takes precedence over the beta. (And if there's bug fixing to do, then I have no idea how long that will take.) Then I have a bunch of stuff I have to do to make the beta live which will probably take at least an hour or so....

Yes, thanks for the update. It still won't stop me from staying up until it's ready for download though. :)

5:15 a.m. here in Bellevue. Drinking coffee and actually looking forward to getting into the office. I believe our PDF server will be able to handle the load, though it has never had to deal with 25,000 simultaneous 36MB+ downloads before, just thousands of silly old simultaneous Pathfinder downloads....

PS: [Montgomery Burns]Wait, there's a New Mexico now?...[/Mr. Burns]

yay official word! *got my download finger ready*


A solid time would of probably been better on their servers. I almost feel bad with the amount of refreshing I've done. :( Oh well I'm over it...hhaha.

Can't wait for my print version too :)

They just said they will sell the print copies at some con somewhere in the US today and that the beta-pds will be ready for download then as well.

Morning was also said. The PDF is suppose to be available this morning. Unless something bad happens. haha


Neithan wrote:

So they sell the print copies later this day. If I am not mistaken, it's about 2:00 to 6:00 in the morning in the US now, they are probably still all asleep. And I somehow have the suspicioin because they are all at that con, there's nobody in the office taking the beta-pdf online today. Just my expereience with big anounched stuff being ready for download over the last decade. ;)

So I guess, it's still quite some time until something happens. ^^

I got faith in Paizo power! If we want it...it will come.

Rémy Grondin's Pathfinder Character Sheet

Feel free to use it as you wish!

This sheet is really nice. The only thing that irks me at all is the position of the HP area. I'd like it near the top. It looks really nice though and if I can get a group together to do some alpha testing this is the sheet i might just end up using. Good job :).


I see a lot of talk about power increase. How about power balance? I think it's been established that Clerics, Druids, and high level Wizards pretty much make everyone else feel inferior. I think it's sad that I can make a cleric that is technically a better Fighter than the Fighter class itself. I'm talking with core books also, not splatting it up. Also there is very little point in playing a Paladin in 3.5. Why not just play a Lawful Good Cleric? It gives you the same flavor with full access to divine spells.

I think the powerful classes in 3.5 need to be pretty much left alone. How do you guys feel?

Also does anyone else feel that Wizard's having a low hit die is a good thing? I do, it makes their massive power at the end feel like a real payout for the struggle you face in the beginning. It also makes up a little bit for the almost impossible to balance nature of the class (the versatility and raw power of their high level spells).


I think that a choice should be allowed between rolling and point buy for ability scores. Obviously the DM has the final word on what method is allowed in his campaign.

I also think there should be a choice between rolling and fixed hit points, also at DM discretion. In a campaign I'm going to dm I'm going to allow people to either alternate between half and half+1 or roll at each level. That will let characters choose to take the risk or just go with average.

The HP thing can easily be house ruled though. I'd like to see a point buy OPTION actually in the PRPG handbook.

**Edit: Also I'd really like if the dying rules were kept atleast somewhat the way they are. I certainly don't think we need to get deep into the negatives to die, at ANY level.


Just want to cast my vote that Paladins should remain Lawful Good. The only reason I don't play Paladins in 3.5 is because Clerics make better Paladins than Paladins themselves.

I find it hard to believe that adventuring as a fighter, rogue, wizard, cleric, etc., will make an elf more "elfy" or a dwarf more "dwarven", or even a human more "human".

I know part of the 4E racial bit was geared toward making races matter, but I don't see the rational beyond "let's give even more cool powers!"

I agree with both these points.
