There was a time when he was funny?...
2. Do you find Dane Cook to still be funny?
...That was the point I was eventually going to make. Thanks for ruining my joke.
Sorry :( I always have to comment when I see "Dane Cook" and "funny" in the same sentence...it's an atrocity so great that it should never be allowed to stand.
laterWell then you are braver man then I to continue reading them. What do you think of the idea of psionics working similar to the way they do now except with spell levels instead of PPs, using the same feats and spells that already exist?If something productive was ever said in one of the psionic threads would anyone notice?There's been PLENTY productive on those threads. I've noticed some of it.I think that's a good place to start, but I also think that it's not far enough. The flavor of psionics is kind of dry—it needs a good dose of real world myth and flavor. As in: the psionic classes need to have names that immediately evoke cool ideas for characters.
"Wilder" and "soulknife" do not do that, but words like "mesmerist" or "spiritualist" do.
Awesome, so when can I start playtesting it?
Is it later yet?
How abut now?

Have you read Roger Zelazny's Amber Chronicles? If so, what are your thoughts on it?Haven't read it.That surprises me actually. I highly recommend reading it. Originally printed as 10 separate books, you can find it now at book stores as one large book.
Is there a PF Module, or other product, that explores duergar, and explains how they came to be, similar to what Second Darkness did for drow?
My reading habits skew VERY heavily toward horror, and then to pulp-era writers, and then to modern fantasy/sci-fi. Amber never really fit into the zone for me.
We haven't done much at all about duergar except in "Into the Darklands" and I believe a little bit in "Dwarves of Golarion."
1) Favorite John Carpenter film?
2) Favorite Black Sabbath Song (if any)?
3) Why the obsession with arctic themes?
4) Favorite Sport to watch?

It's a super hard job, made even more difficult today by overly conservative and inflexible government regulations, but it's a rewarding job in a lot of ways.Is Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch a realistic portrayal of the profession?
It is. Although my experiences on the sea with my dad are a LOT less harrowing.
1) Have you watched Zietgiest?
2) Opinon?
3) Have you watched Zietgiest Addendum?
4) Opinion?
If you had a theme song, what would it be? Vikings or Packers?
He has a theme song Studpuffin wrote it about a week ago.:) And Packers obviously.
4) None; not a sports fan.
Ah. A golfer.
Have you read a Wayfinder from cover to cover? :)
Do you have a Fav wayfinder article?

Whom would be including in your Paizo staff "dreamteam" to develop the APs, Pathfinder accessories, the corebook, etc.? Monte Cook? Nicholas Logue? And...?A clone of me, a clone of Wes Schneider, or a clone of Rob McCreary.
Huh. I know they've all done work on the various APs but what makes them stand out from a clone of Jason Buhlman or Greg A. Vaughan?

The fact that the skills required to be a great developer are NOT the same as those required to be a great rules designer (like Jason) or a great adventure designer (like Greg).

James doesn't want the competition ^_^
Can Golarion elves hear a dog whistle (not an anti-elf comment, just curious about their range of hearing)?
If you tie bloody porkchops around a dwarf's neck, why won't starving worgs play with him?
Where did carrots originate on Golarion?

2) Are there any plans, in the (hopefully) near future, to delve into the topic of Duergar, and other 'evil versions' of other races?

The Amber Chronicles are very Pulpy. He may have been a "modern" author but Zelazney was one of the best. Well worth the time to read and it goes very fast. Also pick up the book "Manna From Heaven" which is a Posthumous release including the short stories that would have made a new set of Amber stories. Ignore at all cost the new Amber books though that were not made by him but rather are a sad attempt to milk money from a potential cash cow. I am very much interested in the new RPG from Rite publishing as well.

That he was!

I'll check that out!

I was very angry when I first found out about this. Apparently, I wasn't the only one. Looked up some info, and it seems like those who knew Zelazny the best were extremely upset about it as well. Especially, one of his dying wishes was that nobody wrote anything for his 'world'.

Well then.. I didn't realize they were doing anything with Amber. I'll have to give it a look-see..
here you go.

That would be VERY helpful. But not for the job of developing APs. Clones of Sarah let loose on developing jobs would not be good—it'd be like letting us developers lay out a book's design. No one would be happy. There would be tears.

Golarion elves probably can hear higher and lower pitched sounds than humans. I like it!
Because the worgs don't want pictures of them playing with a dwarf to show up on the internet. And because the worgs don't wanna catch fleas or ticks.
Carrots originate from the ground. Usually from where one might have planted carrot seeds.

2) Are there any plans, in the (hopefully) near future, to delve into the topic of Duergar, and other 'evil versions' of other races?
1) Probably not, because I've got dozens and dozens of other books I bought for myself to read that I haven't read yet.
2) No plans in the immediate future to do much with duergar. And I'm trying REALLY hard to not let "evil versions" of races run amok out there. Drow and duergar and tieflings is probably enough.
OK so we hit 1000+ posts, so tell use something we don't know?
Also I just watched Unforgiven and Out Law Josey Wales which on do you like more?
Best line for them?
Are there any good Wild West RPGs out there no a days?
How badly was your prissy little knocked kneed singy-songy bow legged pointy ear elf beaten by that dwarf fighter that you still have such hatred for the stout folk?
My guess is pretty badly. And nasty.
Or JJ just doesn't like the shorties.
