Spam post. Let it die. Hopefully admin will lock it. OP, for future reference, please actually have some meat to your post, instead of just throwing out a demand. An explanation of WHY Wolfgang should develop Qadira would help a great deal in starting a discussion on it.

Ooh, tough room.

Okay, first it was a request, not a demand. Hence the "please".

Wolfgang Baur has previously worked on Al-Qadim and recently published an OGL-compatible "Six Arabian Nights" sequence of minimodules.

Of course I'm replying without context, but I'd imagine it's "okay, thanks, bye"

No doubt someone else has already said as much :-)

We're so far ahead of you on this one it's like old news to us.

But it's new news to you!

Wolfgang Baur did indeed write the Qadira entry for the PCCS Hardcover. :)

Wow, good call delabarre. And apologies for being a bit snippy. Not one for the chatspeak.

Excellent call Paizo!

Really looking forward to reading up on Qadira. Wolfgang knows how to deliver the Arabian goodness.

Turns out, sometimes we even know what we're doing.

Oh, and I just developed his Qadira section a few hours ago.

It's pretty awesome. (I almost said "hawt," but of course it's hot... it's a desert...)

I would love a Desert of Desolation type AP. It just doesn't get any better than that...

That was an awesome adventure. That was my old groups favorite of all time. <insert fond memories here>

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Osirion, Qadira, maybe Absalom. I can totally see a desert adventure path being AP#4 or #5.

But it's up to the good folks at Paizo.

(And for the record, I think Qadira is more Persian than Arabic, but you can make up your own minds about that very soon.)

I was thinking more of Osirion but everywhere I have a chance to push a Desert of Desolation type AP the better.

Well I'd be keen on this! Al Qadim is by far and away my favorite 2nd setting. I've love to see a little Adventure Path love for a Persia/Arabic flavored region.

Six Arabian Nights (click for free preview) is as close as I've gotten to an Al-Qadim-style adventure path.

But I would not be at all surprised if Paizo did something with Qadira down the road.


And Arabian Nights is excellent!

Qadira, too, that's where my pbposters have found themselves.

Thanks Wolfgang.


After reading this thread, I just had to get Wolfgangs Six Arabian Nights. I´m gonna print it today and will have some fun reading it the next days. :-) Wolfgangs research about arabia for the Al-Qadim line pays off again.

It is also the most beautiful book in the Open Design gaming line so far.

Better you have a colour printer at your disposal. :-)

I am very curious about how Wolfgang will treat this genere standard and which new "flavour" he will add to it... :-)

Cheers,
Günther

Yes, I used a color printer, and will have it bound. I hate loose leaves or holes punched through my reading stuff. Did the same with the Alpha releases.

Stefan

Where do folk get their printed pdfs bound, and how exactly does one go about it? Do you just go in with a disk, and say 'Please print this; oh yeah, it's OK, it's not a breach of copyright, honest'? Do you have to show a receipt, to prove it's not pirated?

And what sort of covers/binding do you get? Is it something that would stand up to use at the table?

I'm in the UK, so some of the high-street names may not operate over here, but I'm just curious as to the limitations of the process, and if anyone can recommend a good UK printer who'd do this stuff?

Sovereign Court

I was wondering about this stuff, too. Where do you get a book bound?

If myself and Snorter seem a little behind the times, remember... We are still playing tabletop rpg's! ;)

I have not done this but I would probably either get a binding machine or I would take it to Kinkos or Staples or Office Depot and have it done.


Chiming in for a desert of desolationesque ap. Maybe it can start with an uncovered relic in the mwangi expanse. :)


I had my stuff bound at the local copy shop. They offer a glue binding, with some sort of heavy fabric (linen, I think) glued to the back (like this). You can have some clear plastic as cover, as well. It seems to be quite sturdy, and costs me around 5 Euros per binding. I have to add that I use my books quite carefully - if I have read them once, you won´t notice they have been read at all.
I don´t like these spiral bindings - the books don´t fit into the bookcase properly, and the cheap plastic ones break easily.

Wow, that is serious stuff. I understand about the platic spirals. They are a pain in the book case and I have had them break. Yours looks great. Do you bind one adventure at a time or all six chapters together. Do you have them done front and back? Do you put them on heavier paper? I have been using 32 lb paper for my home print jobs for parts of Pathfinder, like the monsters, or a hisotyr section the deities. Not the adventure though - at least not up until now. After seeing your book I am considering having them done on heavy paper and bound - can't decide whether to go with one adventure per book or have the whole path bound together. I might go with the plastic covers too.

Let me add my support to the Al-Qadim with the serial numbers filed off Adventure Path.

Compulsory elements:
djinn and efreet as more than just combat encounters
An item that grants wishes
A roc big enough to carry off an elephant
A sea voyage worthy of Sinbad
An expedition to the lost city of Irem, City of Pillars
A lengthy portion of the campaign set in the City of Brass

I think that the wonderful people at Paizo have proven that they can take the style and flavor of classic modules and adventures and make them entirely new without copying them verbatim and "filing off serial numbers." I support a desert-based adventure path, but not if it's the exact same as adventures I've already read/played/run.

I might just print this post out and save it, Wolfgang, so I've got something to remind you about once we start work on AP #4...

Not that AP #4 is set in or near Osirion. Or will it be? Nah. But maybe? Hmm...

I would be honored and delighted to work on an Osirion AP. Or Gamemastery adventure. Or whatever evil thing it is you have in mind. I sense Ancient Evils lurking...

So, where was AP #4 set? I lost count - is it Shattered Star? Or the pirate one?

Legacy of Fire. In Katapesh


Legacy of Fire (AP issues 19 - 24) is 3.5, not Pathfinder. It was the last AP before the PF ones started (beginning with Council of Thieves).


and if you combine PF 23-24 with the NG's City of Brass boxed set, you have sulfur-spiced goodness from behind the screen that will annihilate the player characters...
