Meh. Only for goblin-fodder folks.

Not for the forseeable future. They've said since the get-go that they don't want to split their customer base between multiple products.

There's lots of talk in the Unspeakable Futures thread about the desire for one, but no plans beyond wishful thinking.

Does she eat more fresh fruit than you guys? I heard somewhere that mosquitos are drawn to potassium in the blood, and that people who have eaten fruit recently are magnets for bloodsuckers.

I wouldn't be surprised.


A comment in rules questions section made me think of making a druid-based arcane shapeshifter class: Think of wildshape plus medium base attack bonus plus six levels of arcane buffing spells. All thanks to observation that as-written Arcane Strike applies to all weapons including natural weapons...


Ah, found partial argument against neighbor - from what I read about the technique proposed it should cost 2k, max 3k instead of 4k...

It would be better to get something more absolute to shoot him down for now, though.


Drejk, if neighbour was planning to sell - would he need a surveyor? And they might include the fungus in the hallway. That might be one tack to take?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually true,

And from what is said on The Mummy Mask thread about what was said on PaizoCon it appears there will be aliens and flying pyramids...

On the one hand, AWESOME! Sounds like a blast!

On the other, the most likely player in my group to GM an Arabian Nights style campaign is the one who has called dibs on Age of Worms, and I really really want to play Age of Worms....

There is no need for surveyor when selling an apartment (and I don't know if it would be even required for selling free standing house, but obviously it would be beneficial to consult one in the later case).

All the required data are kept in land register, which in Poland is maintained by local courts.

The current neighbor #6 himself bought the apartment apparently without knowing about the presence of fungus. During the quarrel today it was pointed to him that when he was buying the apartment no one in the whole building knew until the previous owner started to move out and no one told him about fungus because he didn't asked anyone.

I'd be happy if they did on obscure technologies with wrist blasters, energy swords, scanners and robotics. Maybe through in some psionic devise and weird H.P. Lovecraft stuff or even something similar to S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

Finished Kingmaker yesterday with an awesome finale and epilogue!

Also, anyone got information for me concerning Percival of Arthurian myth?

There's been mention of some "weird tech" like that in Golarion, especially dealing with some of the alien realms, Dark Tapestry or Dominion of the Black things, and Numeria. Possibly might be more once they get around to doing Vudra and the in-Golarion canon psionic system.

But from what I heard I have changed my mind on the Mythic rules that are coming out, I like what I'm hearing at this point.

Just Wikipedia. His article links to several stories about him though, if you can find those (they might be on WikiSource, otherwise Google) you might find more info.

Mythic is fun. Just gave my KM group their first tier at our last actual session about two weeks back. Should be interesting to see how it works out.

The Exchange

One of the things I really strive for when running a game is giving the adventure an "epic" or "mythic" feel, I'll have to check this out and see what I can use.

Unfortunately time to head out to work. Have fun guys and gals.

Summary of the session, or the entire campaign?

If it's the former, then I could make one after my doctor's appointment.

My face is still a wreck, and it's only gotten worse. Painkillers didn't help at all.

Yeah, just the finale. Summarizing the whole campaign would be a monstrous undertaking unless you do it as you play in journal format. =)

Hope everything goes well at the doc's.

IOW, I made it back from my requisite 'Sanity Safety Check and Enforced Retreat' (Read= 'Vacation' in layman's terms) safe and mostly sound.

And now back to work,.... (Speaking of insanity,...) ;P

Needless to say, this is the first and last thing I will buy at Conn's. Next time I get a major appliance, it'll be from a national chain.

yeah...went into a conn's once, curious. The salesmen didn't impress me with their knowledge, though they tried to be helpful, and their selection wasn't what I was looking for.

Haven't been back since.

I'm still feeling a bit hazy from the aftermath of a tooth removal and such.

Anyway, I was asked about the final session of Kingmaker, so I shall tell of it now.

As before, the party consisted of Artemis Emphotekt Un Nefer the Human (Lich) Necromancer, Saya the Catfolk Ranger, Haggar Hillbreaker the Dwarf Cleric and Ying Niu Mei the Holstaur Monk. There is also a Lorcona (half-plant homebrew race of mine) Druid / Green Faith Acolyte named Elendriel around the woods of the Stolen Lands, whom I added to the campaign. I am telling all of this now because I don't recall mentioning it before.

The Session and Campaign Epilogue (Long):
The second to last session ended with the group getting into Thousandbreaths and defeating the Lightning Treants, noticing that the Artemis' apprentice Inathiel (who is a half-fiend elf) had decided to tag along but go solo. As the last session began, they proceeded to curbstomp Kargstaad the frost giant as well, and then forcing the realm into the Material Plane before they got to facing the Knurly Witch, whom they managed to kill before she could escape.

Before they could get there themselves, Ilthuliak the Black Dragon gave them quite a bit of trouble, but even she couldn't survive Saya's archery and the spells of Haggar and Artemis. As they entered the house, I gave a cut-scene of sorts showing Wilendithas the Eternal Hag (Lich Cleric of Gyronna mentioned in Shadows of Gallowspire, who was tied to the backstory of Saya and Noriko, since she burnt down their home in Mivon) deciding to attack their nation of Numas with a rather massive army of undead, only for the other NPCs to prepare for this, knowing that they can defend the nation without the party.

Most of the rooms in the House at the Edge of Time went pretty quietly, though once they ran into the Wriggling Man (whom I chose to call Gentleman Worm instead) failed his ambush, but instead welcomed them and tried to chitchat with the party, though it mostly went into an insult contest between the Worm that Walks and the Lich as they compared their states of immortality. Then they moved on to the actual battle, which the party won despite the opponent's advantage when it came to spells. After a few more rooms, they faced off Phomandala the Medusa, finding an injured Inathiel as well as a petrified Elendriel in the room.

Haggar decided to use Greater Planar Ally to summon a Planetar, which made beating Phomandala rather easy since they also had time to free Elendriel from his stone prison. Anyway, the final battle began as the party entered The Fable alongside the Grand Druid and the Angel while Artemis' apprentice decided she needed a little break, considering she had been badly injured during her trek through the dungeon. Nyrissa is understandably loony from her plans going wrong, as well as from being forced to the Material Plane and seeing Briar in her foe's hands. However, due to all the debuffs she had, she was unable to really harm the party and only lasted due to her HP, AC and SR. Even those didn't save her from the crits and Finger of Death spells that managed to land on her, though.

As the mad queen's plan was brought to an end, it was time for an epilogue. When the heroes returned to the capital, Saya's sister Noriko greets her with a phylactery and a hag's head, telling her that the destruction of their home had been avenged and the nation was saved by the combined efforts of the comrades they had gathered over the years. Elendriel, who had seen Artemis steal away Nyrissa's soul before it could fade into the First World, borrowed it as he still needed to have a word with the Eldest about her ultimate fate. Despite multiple complaints and threats from Brevoy over the claiming of "their land", it was made clear that they wouldn't stand a chance against Numas in their current state, so the northern nation remained silent. With all the threats cleared, Numas was allowed to prosper.

Then, the actual finisher to the epilogue.

Artemis, having taken the spellbooks from the Wriggling Man's library with him, continued his millenia-long research into the secrets of life, death and souls. Upon finally completing them, he ascended to godhood, becoming a deity known as Un Nefer and representing the spheres of study, souls and knowledge. His students became his first clerics, and Inathiel most likely became his herald though she still wanted to become a deity herself.

Haggar Hillbreaker, proud Cleric of Angradd, had begun to gather an army of his own in Numas, which he planned to take to Belkzen to reclaim the stolen Sky Citadel of Koldukar from the orcs. Whether he'd succeed or fail was left unknown, though he had already become a dwarven legend not only as one of the rulers of a nation that had been unclaimed for centuries, but also as one who had witnessed the ascension of a god with his very own eyes.

Saya the dragonslaying archer of the River Kingdoms, took the sword Briar with her and left Numas without a word. Having taken to adventuring once more, she was joined on her journeys by her sister Noriko and her friend Niu Mei, who had lost their interest in rulership as time had gone on. Last seen on the northern border of Andoran, the three were thinking about eventually taking the Test of Starstone, a suggestion which Briar supported whole-heartedly.

*yawn* and morning.

Nice ending Icy. I participated in three completed-completed campaigns in my 19 years of gaming with biggest and longest campaign falling apart due to interpersonal tensions...

In fact, I never managed to finish any of my own campaigns. Meh.
