I think it lost something in the translation and i feel really bad that I cant remember everybodys character!

In the next adventure I had a Dwarf Cleric of Torag who again nearly died horribly by drowning in scale mail with his Dwarven brother, a fighter in banded mail. It was so unbelievable it was nearly funny!

I just read today's blog and was slightly sad to see that you guys didn't make it to Reading's very own gaming store; Eclectic Games! They stock all sorts of Paizo stuff too. The owners (whose names I can never remember for more than 5 minutes...) are dead friendly and just moved to new premises with a massive gaming room out the back.

Shame you missed out on Orc's Nest. I love their miniature racks, but my bank balance doesn't :)

Lastly, Pathfinder is compatible with D&D 3.5, does that include the new character classes from the 'splat' books & PHBII?

(I love playing Beguilers & Warmages).
Sure!

Just to check my understanding is correct; while PFRPG can include (for example) the splat books and PHB2 for home games etc, PFS will be SRD+Paizo material only -- it's exceedingly unlikely (at best) that any non-SRD WotC material will be valid in PFS games.

Orc's Nest is effectively my FLGS, and where I pick up most of my gaming material (including Paizo stuff); given their small size they fit a lot of stuff in -- particularly upstairs where they have a ton of boardgames & wargames hidden away. I don't get to go up to Leisure Games as often as I'd like as they're a bit out of the way, but I'd probably rate them as the best games shop in London.

And a not terrible picture of me in the blog -- next to (the excellent) Rob Silk as he's about to run us through the Hydra's Fang Incident.

Leisure Games is the best games store in the entire UK, for my money (and they have had a lot of my money, over the decades, particularly before I left the UK). Was horrified a few years ago when I went back to the UK on a visit and went to their store and it was gone. Fortunately I looked around and saw that it had merely moved across the road.

We thouroughly enjoyed the Pathfinder society games despite the total party wipe in our first one ; ) more on this in another thread later when ive un packed my goodies and eaten a pizza. Oh and washed.....

Now that you've unpacked and washed, keep that promise! Lead us to the thread or tell us here about the total party wipe. That's gotta' be a great story

Well ok since you asked nicely.I wont tell nuch about the plot incase there is people that are going to play it.

It was our groups first pathfinder outing, the majority of the group were from my local club anyway (including prosteve who posts here somewhere) We were me, a human fighter, there was a human priest, 2 human rangers, a rouge and a sorcererr i think! We were playing the frozen fingers of midnight and it started of fairly well. After a fair bit of faffing and random dice rolling we managed to find the mansion we were after.

the 2 big ulfen guards attacked us and despite not really being able to roll above 9 we manad to defeat them. We continued on with the adventure wondering why the dm was saying "mmm they didnt seem to be too tough perhaps ill use the higher tier ones" we were all level 1.

we continued on eventually finding the warehouse where we assumed we were supposed to go to. The priest managed to "distract" the big barbarian at the front door by pretending to know him and asking him lots of personal questions especially about his "health" in certain areas. This was highly entertaining and would have worked except for those pesky dice rolls which still refused to land in double figures. Th majority of the rest of the party had managed to climb and swim (very badly and slowly) and snuck in to the back of the warehouse and thats where it all went wrong.

suffice to say there were some pretty rubbish roles and a melee ensued.We started off badly and got progressively worse. My fighter was criticalled by a barbarian priests spiritual weapon upon entering the...

hey you forgot to say the ONLY peson to live was me!! I am Rizzen the unkillable, ran OR SWAM to fight another day :) There was a cleric, 2 fighters, ranger, soc, and wizard in our group. I think lack of planning also helped kill us, but the bad rolls(and i mean if we DID hit after 3 or 4 rounds of swinging then we would roll a 1 for dmg!) didnt help and there were at least 2 3rd lvl guys in there. To be fair we got everyone down but the cleric and had him at 17 hp, but i was only one left with a englarge spell and a crossbow and he had a 2 handed sword, we only needed a few more hits to win, but i think 2 of the PCs had died(the soc had his head cut off by the priest in one hit heh) i didnt get to play in any other games so this was my only one but i am trying to get some online play going for my mage, but looking like sesson 0 wont support it(cry).
