Where is my super suit?
I picked Lini because she seems the most "girly" to me. Plus the party needed some racial diversity.
Oh yeah, sorry for completely transforming your thread into "Watch *Adam Diagle* Scratch His Head in Confusion at All of the Power Ranger Conversations Here!" thread.

I'll steer this back to the questions:
Adam, I'm looking for some advice on a player I'm GMing for. She's playing a very...promiscuous...character. She's wondering about things like the possibility of pregnancy. I've mentioned night tea, which is in the Adventurer's Armory, but she's wondering more about the possibility of being captured and using her feminine wiles to try and trick her captors.
I believe the correct response is that a pregnancy in-game should only occur with both the approval of the GM and the player, but this is a rather odd question, so I thought I should get a second opinion...

I agree with you that the correct response should come from a discussion between the GM and the player. Furthermore, when dealing with sensitive topics it'd also be a good idea to talk with the whole group about it. That way you don't isolate others at the table or make them sit through situations that might be best left for cut scenes.

In an effort to buy the heroes some time their Flumph ally/quest giver floats up to the top of a tower filled with Daemons and cultists readying for an evil ritual, who all upon seeing the humble creature begin to laugh and mock it, not seeing it as a threat, whilst their leader continues the ritual. And then the Flumph pulls out a fully charged Staff of The Magi.
What would be a good saying or one liner for the Flumph to deliver?

Thankies, and take your time, I asked you because you seem the best to know a Flumph's mentality and how they act, not because someone told me you were Paizo's official one liner expert <_< >_>

Mkay, I was just curious if the D was silent.How do you pronounce your last name?DAY-gull.
I have been told by some of my long lost Acadian brothers and sisters that we were mispronouncing Daigle incorrectly, but I say that if you get loaded up in a boat and then dropped off in a swamp to fend for yourselves, you can pronounce your name however you want.

Depends on your dialect. I have a "yokel" French accent from learning it in Languedoc working as a stonemason on a chateau and vineyard. Acadiens were from all over Atlantic coastal France - Bordelais to Calais.

Heyo Adam!
I was thinking the other day about the division of two, six-part adventure paths a year and was brainstorming ways to divide up those stories further to accommodate for alternate delivery methods (without cutting into the Gencon AP release.)
What would the likelihood be of Paizo splitting the AP deliveries (perhaps not every year but maybe every other year) into the following:
Jan-Mar - 3-part high-level AP (17th-20th estimate)
Apr-June - 3-part high-level AP (17th-20th estimate)
Jul-Dec - 6-part traditional AP (1st-16th/17th estimate)
Going bi-annually on that would potentially allow for short-burst high level adventure paths that could be played with PCs that have completed a traditional Paizo AP, without necessarily cutting too deeply into the production of traditional six-part APs. Not necessarily a sequel or an extension of an existing AP, but a self-contained 3-part story.
I'm not sure what kind of havoc that would wreak with scheduling and development, but from a customer's perspective I'd love the variety that could introduce.

Wait!? These things have backgrounds? All I see is Word docs, email, spreadsheets, all the way down.
Seriously, they are all different, but since everyone's busy all the time I never see people's background screens.

James and others have spoken to this before when it's been brought up. I tried searching for a thread of two, but gave up as to not waste time. I"m *certain* James has addressed this in his thread a number of times. I don't make that level of decisions, but I don't see us doing something like that anytime soon.

Starring:
Valeros as ... Red Ranger!
Erzen as ... Blue Ranger!

WELL IF YOU INSIST ...
(Note: The atrocious spelling, grammar, and sentence structure is ironic. Sorry for making that giant vein on the side of your face swell up to dangerous levels, Wes ....)
Following the events of Reign of Winter, Baba Yaga returns to Golarion and starts causing Mythic mischief. It turns out that many different varieties of Kaiju haven't been seen in Golarion for eons because on her last visit, she rounded them up and tucked them away in her Hut in her personal demiplane, frozen in cryostasis. Annoyed with a world that has so easily forgotten her (unlike Earth, where she lives on eternally in children's stories), in a fickle decision she begins releasing these imprisoned kaiju into the Inner Sea.
Sensing a cosmic disturbance, Monad spawns a powerful Aeon in order to deal with the destruction Baba Yaga is causing: Zordon. Zordon goes to combat Baba Yaga but is ultimately defeated, his corporeal body utterly annihilated. His spirit unable to merge with Monad because its task was not complete, Monad instead bestows Mythic Powers upon a group of five adventures that just so happen to be caught in the crossfire.
Alain, self-declared ladies man and overall unpleasant dude to be around is imbued with the power of the Marshal, becoming the Red Ranger.
Erzen, a studied wizard and scholar, is imbued with the power of the Archmage, becoming the Blue Ranger.
Petite Lini, friend to nature and lover of animals, is imbued with the power of the Hierophant, becoming the Pink Ranger.
Seelah, Champion of Irori and upholder of truth and justice, is imbued with the power of the Guardian, becoming the Yellow Ranger.
Finally Harsk, an old dwarf who is familiar with the ways of the wood, is imbued with the power of the Trickster, becoming the Black Ranger.
Together, they must protect the Inner Sea from the destructive power of Baba Yaga's minions. As the story progresses, our characters undergo personal journeys of self discovery. As the leader, Alain gets plenty of time evolving and progressing him from an obnoxious braggart into a competent leader. The big plot twist happens when the group meets Setiyiel, a charmed minion of Baba Yaga. Given mythic powers from Dear Grandmother herself, Setiyiel has that Mythic Power that would prevent Seelah from realizing that his alignment is actually Lawful Evil Green Ranger *gasp* and the gang would go through a tedious number of encounters with the Green Ranger before making the correlation. Seelah tries to save him, she fails, but than ultimately Setiyiel saves himself and although he's still bad, he's out for revenge!
Of course, Baba Yaga is crafty and uses Setiyiel's ascension against him, using her powers to unravel his life. The rangers save Setiyiel but not before he is stripped of his powers. After some more missions, Baba Yaga herself strikes and blasts the entire world with spells like Mythic Baleful Polymorph and the like. The Rangers fight her to no avail, but look! Sensing that the darkest hour was upon them, Zordon merged with Setiyiel, using the powers of Monad itself to help Setiyiel ascend into the White Ranger! The White Ranger goes into the Dancing Hut and braves its perils, escaping with Baba Yaga's Death. The White Ranger returns Dear Grandmother's death to her and the Rangers defeat the Queen of Witches once and for all!
RANGERS SAVE THE DAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Heh, back when Windows was a relatively new thing on people's computers (most of the office had been using WordPerfect for DOS), we had great fun taking screenshots of apps running and using that as someone's desktop background, and watching them hopelessly clicking on things that didn't really exist :)
So, question: What kind of tricks do you play on each other's computers at Paizo? :D

HOLD IT! Seelah worships Iomedae.
And a question:
What part of Golarion would you most like to set an AP in (that hasn't already had one, like Varisia and whatnot)?
One of the other continents (or other parts of continents) like Arcadia, Casmaron, Sarusan, or southern Garund.

We don't really play computer tricks on each other. There is some minor pranking that goes on (see armor spikes), but I think we all know how easily things could escalate with a whole office full of devious and clever folks.

I am choosing to interpret the observation that Adam skipped over my amazing Power Rangers / Golarion crossover as a sign that I temporarily damaged Adam's frontal lobe.
My Nosferatu master will be pleased ....
Also, I now have a subconscious urge to listen to the Power Rangers theme song every time I check this thread. What sayeth you, Daigle?
EDIT: Oh! And is the use of the Monad and the Aeons as the background for Zordon the BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO AEON LORE EVER?!
I mean, I just solved SKR's problem that Aeons are usually used to portray the PCs as villains with roughly fifteen minutes of brainstorming.
Bam.

Since you've taken over AP backmatters, what's your favorite recurring tradition that you've implemented?

If you're Cajun, does that mean your last name might have been spelled d'Aigle (of the Eagle) at some point in the past?

Being a Cajun myself (from Abbeville Louisiana), and a Pacific Northwest transplantee (attended University of Oregon) I have to ask...
What do you find to be the best thing about living in the Northwest?

I don't feel like I've had the time to create many recurring things yet. I've inherited some newish things (like the short simple encounter suggestions in the bestiary intro), and I've introduced some new article concepts (like the Missions in Magnimar article), but I havent had the time to repeat myself much. Sooooon!

Correct! The first d'Aigles in North America were a trio of brothers who came over to settle Nova Scotia before the expulsion. One of them was Chevalier d'Aigle (which is a pretty bad ass name!) I was enamored with it as a youngster.

Adam who, in your mind, are the best editiors in the industry at the moment?
(and do they take commissions?)
That's easy too! Sutter, Chris, Judy, and Ryan. I know that's a cheat answer, but they kick ass. I directly benefit from their work, so I'm obviously biased, but they are truly amazing. I even got to publicly thank them on stage at the ENnies!
(I don't know about commissions.)

You realize that's means "Eagle Knight" and the guy settled a place called Arcadia (in Latin) in our world (Golarion analogue...? Arcadia?). Doesn't Andoran have a colony in Arcadia?

Yep, I realize the meaning of the name. :) It's kind of a hard thing to not notice when you're an impressionable kid with a big imagination and your aunts and grandparents were good about tracking the family lines. (Even though an Italian map maker called it Arcadia and the French later dropped the "r" to make it Acadia [Acadian -> Cajun].)
And yes, Andoran is one of the few countries that supposedly have Arcadian colonies.
