I've always been a big fan of informative polls, and I have seen several requests here for Polls about Pathfinder. I have now put together a "Voting Booth" for all matters related to Pathfinder.
To ensure people are not inundated with pointless polls, I will just be hosting a weekly poll. I will try my best to keep the polls informative and interesting.
Anyone can vote (no forum registration). Please drop by and visit:
This week's poll is:
How satisfied are you with the Pathfinder RPG in comparison to the 3.5 edition?
Any suggestions for future weekly polls are welcome. Please either post those on this thread or e-mail them to me at: admin@pathfinderportal.com
(Note: There appears to be some page loading server delays which the serverhost is currently denying. I am hoping to have this remedied soon.)

Thanks to those that have dropped by already to cast their votes. I am still noticing that there are times the page can take a minute to load, where-as other times it loads instantly. If you are noticing a long time for the page to load, could you please let me know as my server host still is denying any problems. Thanks.
Hi, I visited and voted just to try things out. There is a wee problem: I was able to vote without logging in -- twice; so that means the site doesn't block repeat votes! Sorry, but I thought you should know.
Thanks for mentioning this. I thought to help encourage people to vote that I would not enable forum registration. I tested the forum for repeat voting and it did not allow me to repeat vote as a guest or as a registered member. I assumed this was based on IP address, but I am now guessing that it is cookie controlled. I am then guessing that if you have high security that doesn't allow for cookies, then you could likely repeat vote.
I would like for there to be some integrity to the poll results though, so I think it is best that I enable voting by registration only. Since I don't have any other forum features enabled, I shouldn't have to worry about all the spam bots that forced me to close my forums originally.
I will be closing this first poll early, as I am not very happy with phpBB3's ability to handle polls. I will be using PollDaddy for all future polls. It is a great polling tool that can still be hosted on my website, and won't require user registration. It prevents multiple voting by cookies and IP address.
This poll will cease after September 11.
I'm still interested in receiving ideas for future polls, so if you have any, please let me know.
My next current ones I am considering are:
- What is your favorite alignment you like to play in Pathfinder?
- How do you feel the Paladin balances out?
- Which combat maneuver rules do you use? (i.e. 3.5, Pathfinder, houserules)

If you're going to do the alignment poll, make sure that you include a "we don't use alignments" category.
My game group hasn't really used them since 3.0 became 3.5.

Yes that is one of the options planned: "We scrapped alignments or changed the alignment system."
Thanks for mentioning this though. Its not always easy anticipating the most common question options.
mmmmm very interesting! How did you do that?
I have been wanting to do a series of polls on the RPG industry. Specifically the PDF market.
PollDaddy makes this very easy. Once you create your poll it spits out some javascript that you can post on your web page. Here is a sample of my next poll:Pathfinder Portal Polling Booth.
You can easily edit all aspects of the poll's appearance as well.
Questions: What is your favorite AP thus far?
Which Paizo modules have you played all the way through?
The age of the average Paizo forum reader.
Other game systems played by Pathfinder players.
Great questions. Thanks. I'll be adding them to the future polls.
