Thanks for your input so far, everyone. I'm hearing a lot of love for "short adventures / pre-generated encounters." Good to know...
Keep 'em coming.

If I may add to my previous post, Class Acts on more classes would also rate highly with me. Primarily Sorcerer, Bard, Paladin, Summoner, Cavalier, and Gunslinger.
an archetype calculator giving a value to class abilites and what can be traded out for what, or something of equal value. this way you could drop smite and pick up favored enemy or something along the same line.
I think the Class Acts: Rangers would be something I would like to look into.
Thanks, Phyrric Victory. Which free PDF would you like to receive?

Hey Mr. Rielle,
I'll take Class Act: Fighters.
Thank you, and I look forward to your next product.
Cheers,

Scatterspells: First off, it's Ms. Rielle to you (hard to be an administrative demigoddess as a Mr.). Secondly, we would love to give you Class Acts: Fighters, but you need to contribute to the thread (clear directions in the original post). : )

There sure will, Razlin. Exactly when, I couldn't say. Alchemist and gunslinger are up next, though. Paladin and inquisitor may come along soon. Or maybe bard and sorcerer...

Hi, everyone. I still need Class Act choices from the following:
mrofmist
Pyrrhic Victory
Scatterspells
I have sent the above people personal messages in the last 24 hours. If I don't have Class Act choices from the above by the time the giveaway is over, we won't know what to send you- how sad.
Razlin: Are you participating for a free Class Act, or was that just a question? If you are participating for a free Class Act, please let me know which one you would like.

You are most certainly correct. However, in my case I am Ms. Rielle, administrative demigoddess.
Dear Ms. Rielle,
Thanks for soliciting player feedback. My experience points towards a unique mash-up of existing classes with inventive archtypes. Our gaming group enjoyed the Celestial Summoner archtype that tossed out a main class feature while adding some difficult options for the character, too.
I have never seen anything about an Optimization Guide to NPCs. Yes, a level 2 adept is a challenge, but perhaps rather unique option from Fireballs, Magic Missiles, etc. Are there any viable *NPC FEATS*? These could compose a nice pre-generated NPCs, with more bang-for-buck by adding a few new NPC class specific. I remember having a liberal GM allow my Expert NPC access to old AD&D2.0 Ranger 'tricks' to teach an animal/pet.
If this feedback helps, I'd happily take the Class Act: Barbarian...when do Monks get some lovin'?
Thanks in advance,
Szombulis

Szombulis,
Monks will get their turn in the Class Acts spotlight.
A question for everyone: what is the general consensus on the idea of new base classes?
Daron Woodson
Abandoned Arts
Very yes, so long as they don't step too much on the toes of other classes. If you have an idea that doesn't neatly fit into an archetype for another class without significant fudging then a new class is definitely a cleaner, smoother way to integrate it, IMO.
Unseelie: Did you want a free Class Act? You didn't include it in your post.

A question for everyone: what is the general consensus on the idea of new base classes?
Let me think... I have posted three different new base class proposals in suggestion forums (Captain, Metamorph and Savant). Once I finish Captain I intend to post some more new base classes. Does this sufficiently represents my stance towards new base classes? ;)

I don't know if the normal fantasy games need more base classes, but classes meant for other genres and eras of play might be interesting, like a mechanic or primitive shaman.

Unless you come up with a base psionic using class that everyone loves, that would be handy.

I would like to see more pregenerated NPC's, pregenerated enounters and magic items (including cursed items). If the magic items come with a backstory, then so much the better.
If eligible, I would like Class Acts: Druids.

I doubt Rielle missed you. So... the second one. : )
Give Liz and the Paizo staff a little time to get these out.
Everyone will get their free PDFs, I promise! When I get confirmation from Liz, I'll pop into the thread to let everyone know that the freebies have been distributed.
Remember, the staff is coming off of a three-day U.S. holiday weekend.

Remember, the staff is coming off of a three-day bender.
Depending on which staff member(s), the above correction also suffices. :)
I would too would like to see pre-build mini-adventures. Or large pre-generated encounters that would last approximately 2 hours of game play. Bonus points if normal animals / magical beasts are encountered in their home terrain and the home terrain has been included in detail in the encounter. Mostly non-magical encounters against difficult creatures in difficult terrain.
If the free stuff is still available: cleric please.
Thanks for the response.
Just got it in my mind that you could and did send then out as you thanked individuals in the thread.
(also completely oblivious to US holidays).
I see two markets that are under-served right now. These markets may be smaller than the main market, but I suspect they would be easier to find a niche and build a brand:
- Content that is compatible with the Beginner Box, both in terms of the rule set and the formatting (templates and such).
- Content that is PG, rather than PG-13 (and most importantly, clearly identified as such), for parents who are introducing their kids to RPGs.
The two ideas could be combined by building modules (or adventure paths) with big, bold villains (Snidely Whiplash type), heroic PCs, and over-the-top locations. Take every stereotype of the RPG fantasy genre and turn the volume up to 11. Mix in some humor and serve. (Bonus points for including inside jokes for the experienced RPGer who may be acting as GM.)
Edit: The PDF giveaway is a good idea (it's what brought me to the thread), but I'll pass. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the core rules. :-)
Hello, everyone. I have not forgotten anyone. Give the staff a few days to get the Class Acts out to you all- there are a lot of you.
If after a few days you have not received your Class Act, it may be because you forgot to tell me which one you wanted. I have chased everyone down with a pm (those people who haven't told me which one they want yet).
We still have a few spots left. Thanks for your patience.

I always enjoy new prestige classes and archetypes. Variety is the spice of life they say.
If you have any left the wizard pdf would be nice for me.
Base classes- I want to see some psionic ones, but I would guess the Dreamscarred book will cover those sufficiently well until Paizo does a psychic magic book.
A base class you could do- I would like to see a fighter and/or rogue type that has the spellcasting progression of a paladin/ranger. Those spells would be arcane instead of divine in nature. Full BaB.
I'd like to see some swashbuckling classes, archetypes, and/or options for classes. Stuff so fighting types can get along without heavy armor but without taking the AC hit.
Also, some system that would provide an alternative to the "big six" class of magic items, a la the ideas in the D&D 4e DMG 2. Inherent bonuses or boons or something that would let me ditch the magic items that give plain numeric bonuses so PCs have more use for other kinds of magic items.
I would like to see Class Acts: Sorcerer Archetypes (PFRPG) PDF & Class Acts: Sorcerers (PFPRG) PDF :)
coyote6: Please tell me which Class Act you would like to receive for free.
Strongfox: Haha, very funny...maybe Sorcerer will be finished by the next giveaway.

There's still a whole creation full of monstrous playable races that could do with racial archetypes - I've created a few, but I've barely scratched the surface of the patina of the outershell. So: Racial Archetypes!
If you are still giving away PDF's I'd be remiss not to ask for the Class Acts: Witches. I'm interested in seeing not only your take but also other stuff like layout and art (if any)!
I'd love to see:
- Pregen NPCs. I like off the cuff, spontaneous encounters, but I think my players know all the NPCs from the GM Guide pretty well by now.
- Alternate magic ideas and rules, of any kind, eg wild magic, point buy, or anything you can come up with!
- Monsters with cool concepts and new powers/rules. It's always fun for my players when they encounter a foe they've never heard of.
Mostly GM useful stuff I suppose :)
Edit: And if I'm not too late, I'd like the rogue book please :)

Hey, folks. Yes, there are a few more spots available. Ms. Gordon will no doubt be able to confirm that later in the day.
I last communicated with Liz yesterday - she mentioned that she'd probably start working on the free PDFs same-day. Keep an eye on your inbox and your "My Downloads" page throughout the day today, and thanks again for your patience.

Well i play a sorcerer so it would help to have a PDF all about sorcerers so that us sorcerers can have extra help. Mainly we have not been getting enough love as the rest of the classes so it would be a blessing if you put a lot of work into it. Thanks Strongfox :)
EDIT: But I would take Class Acts: Rogues if i'm still eligible.
Hi, everyone. I still need Class Acts choices from the following:
cyote6

I have 16 spots left. To those who have not given me their free Class Acts choice, please get back to me. If I don't get an answer, I will be picking a Class Act for you at RANDOM. How exciting.
Those of you who are worried that I may have forgotten you, I haven't! Again, Paizo staff is working on getting your free Class Acts out to you. Check up on your inbox and "my downloads".

I will reiterate a request for Pregen NPCs/ encounter ideas.
Having some fully generated "bad" guys with fluff and motivations that you can drop in as needed would be super handy.
Second option would be a class Acts: Paladin
If still eligible.
Class Acts: Cleric
