Product Request: Advanced Comedy Guide

[darth_borehd]

I guess it could also be called Ultimate Comedy.

Too many campaigns take themselves too seriously. Everybody always seems to want to play in worlds like Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. What about worlds like Discworld or Myth Inc? So I would like to see a book dedicated to the lighter side of Pathfinder games.

Things such as

• Practical joke traps for your rogues
  
• Spells to embarrass opponents
  
• Archetypes for jesters, clowns, crazy hermits, and clumsy-but-lucky fighters
  
• Eidolon base form: Blob
  
• Unhelpful NPCs (over-zealous city watch, blacksmith with OCD, etc)
  
• Ridiculous quests (i.e. cut down the mightiest tree with a herring)
  
• Critical Fumble rules
  
• Monsters like drop bears, jackalopes, and killer bunnies

God, I would love one of these "common serious campaigns". Seems like every campaign I'm in devolves into launching weresharks out of catapults.

Might I suggest the Book of Beasts: War on Yuletide, released today from Jon Brazer Enterprises. The monsters include (among others) a giant gingerbread man, a fruitcake monster, and a toy soldier construct. They might be what you are looking for.

To steal an idea from another thread, try having the BBEG, or his chief minion continually resurrected to battle the PCs again. Give the PCs the opportunity to kill him at minimim once per session.

I bought it. Funny stuff. My favorite is the dreidel swarm. :)

This is most easily achieved by having the BBEG be a Reincarnated Druid of 5th level or more.

Hmmm... Does a spiky magic banana as a present from Gorum count?
Or the magic banana peel that appeared to trip up a character? He cursed the monkey bees.

All things being equal if it's funny I'll run it that direction. I established critical successes and fails for skills mostly because I thought it would be funny... Perception fail: Hey look a tree!!!!

No. Just no.

At Paizo, we do (mostly) take our games relatively seriously. This request would be better suited for a third party publisher.
