AMAZING
Causing great and sudden wonderment. Astonishing. Overwhelm someone with surprise. Tremendously impress someone. One can certainly be amazed if something unbelievable is achieved.
I was tremendously impressed, and it was more-so with the leaps and bounds content-wise (specifically the homosexual NPCs) that really got me liking the town; this thread is meant as encouragement for Paizo to continue heading in that sort of direction. I can't wait to see other places that are more metropolitan like Khorvosa and Absalom

The next area to be detailed in Pathfinder (volume 2) is "Magnimar, City of Monuments"
I think part of Absalom will be detailed in the Gallery of Evil Game Mastery Module.
As long as there are pirates in Riddleport, I'll be a happy player.

First I want to say Coridan, your avatar keeps making me think you are CourtFool. So change it! Cuz my sense of well-being is all that matters! Mwahahah....
ahem. Yes, I agree. The semantics involved in describing Sandpoint as "amazing" aren't really the point of this thread (is there one single point to it, actually?). And I suppose one could certainly argue that Sandpoint isn't all that. But again, the point of this thread was never really to debate that. It started off as merely an appreciation for the good things seen in Sandpoint (admittedly with some hyperbole, as Kruelaid pointed out). Then it morphed into the chaotic winding trip through politics, a Paizo beauty pageant/"who is gayer" contest, religion, education, gay iconics, a frightened noble, and even the plight of ninjas. It has been one of the most entertaining threads I've seen on these forums, and I'm happy to have been a contributor!
Now change your avatar! I can't have my world collapsing. :P
Can we now threadjack to why we should be allowed to upload personal avatars?

Tough, you'll have to wait until the next batch of avatars, because there aren't any else I really like (I just looked through them all) for now, me and Court are the ONLY two people with this one, and we seem to always share opinions anyway lol.
I'm still hoping for a Tiger Mask avatar from Dragon 300
I agree, the picking of the Avatars is fraught with "issues". There are other folks with this one, but I almost never see them post in the same threads as me. Too bad there isn't a one login per avatar rule.
I remember when James Jacobs changed his Avatar a few weeks ago. It didn't last very long before the outcry made him change it back.
Makes me wonder why the Paizo guys don't give themselves exclusive Avatars, like on GiTP / OoTS (although anyone can use a custom one there).
There's a few other folks that use the T-Rex like James Jacobs, and it always catches my eye. It's a let down to read the comment and find out it's just another mook ;)
No offense to the mooks, of course...

Some of us do I think. I belive Mike's bronze (or is it copper... metallic dragons all look alike) dragon is unique to him due to a deal with Kyle Hunter that involved a 6-pack. I'm waiting for one of Kyle's mini monsters to show up in Pathfinder to call dibs on. As for James, he's fickle, he'll probably change as soon as a pretty new dinosaur catches his eye (remembers that for future art orders).
HOWEVER: I did get a custom avatar for this alias.
yeah, I didnt handle that way; was having a bad day and my head wasnt in a happy place, but that is no excuse as we all have issues. I guess I just got a little surprized and a bit offended so dem fingers did some walkin. I certainly did not take the "you cannot say that in this tread" as a joke; nope; not even a little, not at all. Sorry about that all, I just really want to know why there are uberfans about it as I am not on that train; sure, i like it; it is ok and playable and all, but was thinking that like many things in life; I just missed it somehow and was hoping someone could tell me what about it has them all fired up about the setting. sigh, like one of my favorite comic says: Best laid plans of Mice and Men.. Oh really...best laid plans of mice?
I never said I didnt like Sandpoint; and my comments do not say that anywhere; I just wonder why people think it is amazing and am now a bit curious why some people want to comment that I ever implied I dont like it. No biggie to me; I really dont care; was just wondering if someone saw something in Sandpoint that I missed, but I guess not. Peeps can get as nasty as they want; I really dont care am just wondering what is so great about it and ignore the other stuff and only respond to you Sebastion as I respect your opinions though I know we rarely agree.Damnit. I'm a sucker for praise, and now I feel bad for giving you a hard time.
I didn't have a problem with the content of your original post - it surprised me because I had been riding high on this Sandpoint is really cool vibe and you brought up some good points. I just didn't see (and still don't see) how you got so defensive so quickly given the responses given. Maybe it's just that you weren't in the same vibe as the poster who said "you can't say anything negative in this thread." However, I really think he was joking, and did not mean to actually shut you down for disagreeing.
Anyway, I'll quit disecting posts because it can get ridiculous fast. I just wasn't sure what got you so angry so fast in the posts that followed yours. You generally operate at your own Valegrim pace, semi-colons and all, and your reaction here was not what I would have expected generally or specifically from you.
Lol Trampasaurus, that beats my Babeasaurus which was a pet name I once used for a past uhm friendly person. Any dinosaurs in the waters outside Sandpoint; maybe have its own Nessie legend? Something to give the pirates fits. Well, I am depending on Sect to make Sandpoint come alive for me and maybe I can board that train.

Old Murdermaw certainly counts as a monster legend. He won't be figuring into the plot of Runelords, but we might stat him up sometime like we did for the Sandpoint Devil.
There IS a "Loch Ness Monster" type critter in Pathfinder 3, though... the Mother of Oblivion. One of which, Black Magga, has a pretty destructive cameo in "Hook Mountain Massacre."
As for actual dinosaurs... there's not any really in the Varisia region. Not naturally, at least. There are ABSOLUTELY dinosaurs in Golarion, and it's certainly possible that someone could have imported some up to Varisia to use as guardians or pets or something.

Please don't; statting him only invites people to try to kill him, which is no good for a mysterious creature of horror and destruction, like the Terrasque. Follow the example of ICW, please.

Bah, if you want to keep murdermaw mysterious, just ignore any stat block that's generated for him. I mean heck, your players shouldn't be reading pathfinder, so technically, they won't know if murdermaw gets a write-up. and if for some reason they do try to take him out and cite his stats as a reason they could succeed . . . pull DM rule 0 and remind them that the DM has a right to use or not use any or all published material that suits THEIR campaign. Paizo would not hold a gun to your head and insist you use their stat block, and I fail to see how you players would be able to hold a gun to you head in a similiar manner.

I sketched out some stats for him - not horribly combat focused, but not completely useless either - and then ran the combat to see how he'd do. He's unarmored and only carrying a masterwork dagger, so perhaps its not terribly surprising that he killed exactly one goblin, and didn't even last four full rounds.
It just occurred to me - has anyone taken a look at Aldern's Skinsaw writeup and subtracted out the dread ghast template to see what he looked like, stat-wise, when he was cowering behind those barrels?

Ohhh... now that would be interesting to see.
Yuuup, Threads still ago'n. Sorry bout the accent ya'll. This thing winds about like the Kissemme.
Darn it.... Ignore that last post. I'm on a tablet, left for two minutes and returned to see that my cat apparently posted while I was gone.
Sorry about that and for the record, I agree. Standpoint is amazing!
