All of the indulgences are made of awesome more than worth the money <3

Hi there,

the indulgences really look promising, and I really like that they are now available on Paizo store, too.

I am just wondering why Paizo doesn't offer the whole package for 6 USD, too. Will this offer be added, too?

Cheers,
Günther

P.S.
Sorry, Nick: I'll never ever use Paypal again. Ask Wolfgang Baur about my experiences when I tried to donate to your project at OpenDesign. Too much trouble with it!

I know I picked up a copy of it . . . now I just have to look at it to see if I can "Pathfinderize" it a bit without throwing too much of a hook into my playtest campaign.

I think it would fit in very well with PF Alpha, as it fits in nicely with providing more character options. The only necessary change would be the Combat Maneuver, which might be treated as any other CM. You could make some of the Feats into Combat Feats, if you really wanted.

In My Unbiased Opinion.

Yeah, I was thinking that breaking a bind wouldn't be much different than a character rolling to escape a grapple under the current rules.

Probably not. That's a Sinister exclusive pack.

I need to offer SOME reason to drop by my new site and check out the blogs and forums and other stuff we are working on like our Dark Vistas. Besides that, I played around with trying to do up a cool photoshoped pic for the Paizo store entry and it just looked like a mess.

However, I am gonna have Google Checkout up and running sometime next week. Just waiting to get it verified and on the loose!

Bind in PFRPG would rock. Afterall accomplished swordsmen use this technique ALL the time! Very cool!


Razor Coast will be made into a paper book right? I may very well get a copy when it shows up in stores. I'm a sucker for pirate stuff. I may use Razor Coast with a few other things to recreate the Savage Coast to exclude those munchkin legacies I always hated but loved the idea of playing a lupin ranger.

I love you Logue, but you're such a bullshitter. I certainly can't agree that it works well ALL the time, nor have the accomplished swordsmen I've known used it all the time. In fact, I think that between two very skilled fighter it never happens. I know it is popular in stage fighting because it is dramatic, but the last time someone tried it on me in a kendo practice I elbowed him in the head and grappled him. Of course that's not allowed in a match, but then binds are broken by the ref, too.

I bought your stuff though, and it does look like fun.

Ah! Binding would be pointless in kendo, but is vital in rapier work. Very different styles of sword fighting there is why. You don't really even make an effort to keep your foe on point in kendo (since you usually use a katana to slash and less to puncture someone's lung).

But yeah, if you were able to elbow the guy in the head without getting skewered, he wasn't really binding you...probably doing more of a corps a corps or "coming to grips" instead is my guess.

Glad you dig the Indulgences Kruel!

I didn't see it all the time in my fencing class, either.

[but then maybe I didn't learn enough]

Roger that, not really a bind.

Personally, I'm pretty sure you might be too skilled to catch in anything but a quick expulsion my man.

And yeah Fencing and Fence (real swordfighting) are REALLY different things.

You're right though, it does get OVERused in fight choreo (cause it looks cool and supplies dramatic syncopation to the action), but it is still pretty useful. I might have overstated when I said ALL the time in my earlier post. But its definitely a good option in a down and dirty sword fight (especially if you have an off-hand dagger at the ready).

Are you guys planning more indulgences linked to the Razor Coast?


Well, looking forward to more great stuff, Logue. BTW, your forums are spamming me. Do they automatically subscribe when I post on a thread? That's dirty, man.

I've tied to join up to the forum but I'm still waiting for the activation email. Do you send it out manually, 'cos it is taking its time?

By the way, bought your Indulgences through Paizo. Good, good stuff - you are a houri, Logue, leading me on into more indulgences than a man can take.

I attempted to register on the forums as well. It wouldn't update when i clicked it. I tried with Firefox and Explorer and it didn't work with either of them.

Just thought I would let you know.

Incidentally, today one of my students beat me in a bout by catching me in a bind with his swept-hilt rapier. It was friggin' beautiful.

But it is true that modern sport weapons are not designed for binding (depending on the exact definition of bind you use, although in this case I'm using the same one as in my class and in "Art of the Duel," using your weapon to grab or control your opponent's weapon).

With the right weapons, this technique is brutally effective. With a well-designed rapier, especially a proper swept-hilt, it is possible to accidentally bind your opponent's weapon while executing a normal parry.

Yeppers! The swept-hilt makes it easy, quick and effective to bind a foe, for snizzle!

GODS I miss swordfighting. It's almost been a year since I crossed blades with someone now! Unarmed sparring is fun, but the feel of the steel man!

THE FEEL OF THE STEEEEEEL! :-)

Hows about next month's line up, or at least the two adventure Indulgences we'll be offering:

Still Waters - a delve into the Coast's dreaded Blacksink Marsh were twisted things cavort at the return of their bloodthirsty Gator God - Dajobas. They gather in sunken vine-claimed temples for dark unspeakable rites and mutter forked-tongue whispers to Death itself.

By Richard Pett

Shrine of Frenzy - The Tulita lost their way once before, bowing down to Dajobas and offering their enemies, and even their own children, to his blood-drenched altar. Now, as the Coast is torn apart by invading powers, some among the natives look to his razor-toothed rapture once more.

by Brendan Victorson

(lol) the Gator God should be "Timtebow."

Ha! Had to google that one. Ha!

Yep, the Shark is one of Dajobas creations (and incarnations). He has a few others, though they are lesser known. To the brutal Karikanti people (and I use the term loosely here) he is the Teeth in the Dark, the Gator God of the Blacksink Marsh.

There will also be an Indulgence by myself on the magical and fighting arts of the Tulita native of the Razor Coast.

As well as a mini-adventure and tons of adventure hooks and encounters for high seas adventures by Tim Hitchcock and myself.

I am not sure if this was already asked:

Will sinister adventures be tied in to the Pathfinder setting/ other settings like the official WotC ones?

I am thinking about conversion notes like the ones for the old Paizo APs.

Cheers,

I would love to offer Golarion compatible versions of the adventures, I need to figure out if this is possible with Erik and Co. The major concern would be time for "in-house" vetting of the adventures. It's a possibility that definitely needs exploration. If it turns out to be impossible, then fan conversion notes would totally ROCK!
