Sigh I was hoping some one would have replied to my last one by now since I though of a awesome one...I Blame Cosmo.

Would you rather live in the Mana Wastes or Cheliax?
Mana Wastes (but only for the purposes of answering your question in this thread, presuming the default/standard Golarion as opposed to the Golarion we've played out in our games).
Would you rather recall and write out your other question... or not?
@Tacticslion: Gee who made you rules lawyer of this thread? ;)
I can't recall my awesome question...damn you Cosmo.
Would you rather have a highly detailed campaign setting with little room for your stuff or a bare outline of a campaign setting that you have to fill in the blanks?

Hm... probably the former. The latter I could do with my own works any time I wanted, but the former allows me to work less or replace things whole-cloth, if I wanted to.
Would you rather have a campaign where your job was to protect a young child while adventuring, or a campaign where your job was to guard a decadent noble as he lives and whiles away his time at the palace?
Would you rather have a campaign where your job was to protect a young child while adventuring, or a campaign where your job was to guard a decadent noble as he lives and whiles away his time at the palace?
The noble. I don't like kids that aren't spawn of my siblings. I don't like nobles, either, but I wouldn't hesitate to have my character find an excuse to killed the noble and derail the GM's plans as a means of protesting a damn escort mission campaign, where even role-playing I'm not going to do that to a kid - I'm annoyed by kids, sure, but I'm not a monster.
Would you rather play a system you adore in a setting you're neutral about (not dislike, just "meh"), or a setting you adore in a system you're neutral about?
BONUS POINTS - Same question, but replace neutral with hate. (Love system, hate setting vs hate system love setting. I have a feeling it will lead to different results.)

First option, I'll go with Good system, Meh setting. Most settings I play in are Generic Medieval Fantasy Setting #xx. A good system would be far more enjoyable. As well, it's the adventure that counts, not the setting.
Second... tougher. Especially as I can't think of a setting I hate. Though I can easily imagine a good setting with an awful system. (Rifts) I'll still lean towards the first. A good system and a good story can override a bad setting.
It seems all the good missions have been taken at the Adventurer Guild job board. Would you rather save the princess of the otyughs and escort her home, or find a piece of furniture lost in a mimic hive?
Save the princess from otyughs...it is almost classic and and I hate plots that are just about moving the sofa upstairs.
Would you rather drive 100 miles in a snow storm to play a really good game or host a 'meh' game?
I hate plots that are just about moving the sofa upstairs.
Unless I'm playing Dirk Gently
That rug really tied the room together...
I would say I am crazy enough to drive 100 miles in a storm for a game.
Would you rather play a splendid adventure written by someone you despise, or a rather boring one by someone you respect?

Save the princess OF the otyughs, not FROM the otyughs.

Ah....I misread that....my answer remains the same.

Would you rather play a splendid adventure written by someone you despise, or a rather boring one by someone you respect?
I'd go with the boring one. I can get inspired by the respect, and fix the boring.
Would you rather play hard Sci-fi or hard fantasy?
Hard Fantasy...because hard sci-fi tends to make me sleepy....and I have no idea what hard fantasy is.
Would you rather read all the books to Pathfinder and Golarion and and have no one to play with or don't own any of the books but have lots of people to play with?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
The latter, easily. I can always borrow books and use the SRD to make a character and reference what I can do.
You get to design something for Pathfinder. Would you rather add a new feat, a new spell, or a new magic item?

Feat. Most magic items get ignored if they take up any of the Big 6 spots anyway, and spells are cool, BUT, if I can design a feat, I can come up with one so good everyone will want to take it for every build...and then I'll give it a set of useless prerequisite feats, just to laugh maniacally at the cries of "feat tax!"
Something like Intense Training - you count as one level higher for all variables and conditions in whichever class you have the most levels, even prestige classes (or second most if you have max levels in a prestige class), including spells, hit points, skill points, etc. Prerequisites - Run, Skill Focus - Profession (not sailor or soldier), Combat Expertise, Mobility, 10 ranks in Profession (not sailor or soldier). The fluff could be something like you had Master Roshi style training to explain the awful prerequisites.
Would you rather play with a stuffy lawful stupid stick in the mud paladin, or a sociopathic antipaladin (with you NN in either case)?
Sociopaths for sure. They're my kind of people. Stuffy and lawful is pretty close to my definition of stupid and evil. At least a sociopath can be reasoned with.
Would you rather play in a campaign where evil could be redeemed or
a campaign where evil is played ruthlessly and cruelly and intelligently.
The latter. What can I say? I like my bad guys to be bad guys.
Would you rather play in a campaign where the world is doomed and you can only save a small part of it(Making all the deliciously tough moral decisions as a part of that) or a Campaign with little long term consequences?
The first, cause of the roleplay in it.
Would you rather play a Goblin wrecking havoc in a town, or be the townsmen trying to keep them out?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Townsperson. I like my good guys. But, knowing me, I'd try to convert the goblins into contributing members of society.
Would you rather play a character who never spoke or never attacked?
Never speaks. His name would be Cotton.
Would you rather face a half red dragon troll or a nymph with oracle levels?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
A nymph with oracle levels, because that seems like it should belong in a Greek mythology-style setting and would vastly prefer that to a big, dumb firebreathing troll that is seemingly created solely as a stand-alone TPK machine.
Would you prefer a setting with heavy and meaningful roleplay but horrible combat or a setting focused on amazing combat but with a contrived storyline?
I'm actually gonna say amazing combat with contrived storyline... Sounds like a bad 80's movie. I can enjoy 'heavily troped roleplay' in a silly plot as long as the fights ain't boring.
Scottish dwarves or German dwarves?
German dwarves. Always made more sense to me than Scottish dwarves. Scottish orcs who wear kilts and play bagpipes, on the other hand...
Again, you get to contribute something to Paizo for Pathfinder. Would you rather contribute a short story for an official story collection, a piece of world-building fluff for a gazeteer style supplement, or an adventure module?
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Grapple a succubus...other than the obviously reasons I almost had a character died to a flumph. ( sigh...there I said it...laugh and make jokes if you will)
Would you rather play in a party where all the characters are atheist or play in a group the consists of a Cleric, paladin, Inquisitor, and a war priest ( who either worship the same a god or different ones)?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Play in a religious party, who all worship the same god. I'd worship the same god as well, whatever character I'd play. A party that all follows the same god could be interesting.
Would you rather your characters set their home base in an absolute monarchy ruled by a tyrannical king, but order is maintained? Or a republic with greater freedoms, but far more political corruption and societal disorganization?
A republic w/ Greater freedoms, but far more political corruption and societal disorganization...just sounds more fun unless the absolute monarch is evil and the PCs must overthrow him/her.
Would you rather create your own adventure or run modules and APs?
Run modules and APs. Easier for me to set up and run than to homebrew it.
Would you rather be hunted by a Slayer or Investigator?
Be hunted by a slayer chances are they won't catch me....though being hunted by a investigator is not that bad either...they may catch me but I can beat them once they do. So I guess both has it's pros and cons.
Would you rather in a 'just Pathfinder game or a that is Pathfinder + things from 3.5 that have not been replaced (or Pathfinderized Hey I just invented a word :) ) ?
The latter. EDIT: it's usual for my games anyway...
Would you rather play a game as a god (using some combination of 3.5 deities and demigods rules and PF mythic), or play a game run by a (PF) god?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Play a game run by a god....hanging out with a god (as long as I get to pick the god) would be awesome....also I can rub it in my atheist friends faces...'Hey guess what I am doing tonight I am going to go hang out with Calistria...a goddess tonight. Too bad you don't believe in them or you could come.'
Would you rather the answer to the question of who killed Aroden be
1) The PCs traveling from the future did it for some reason?
2) A group of gods did it to disrupt prophecy so some pretty bad ones don't happen.
?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Group of gods, because that leaves tons of different story hooks. Time travellers only means the PCs will have to be those eventually, and I think I would find that pretty boring.
(Well, I can always go play with Razmir...)
Would you rather have a present, given sincerely, to you by Rovagug, Zon-Kuthon, or Urgathoa?
Rovagug! If you were paying attention to the Order 66 thread he's my best buddy now. Blame Avatar of Zon-Kuthon. And I defiantly could not take a gift from Zon-Kuthon because his avatar has been trying to kill me. And no one likes Urgathoa.
Would you rather
Be responsible for the creation of the universe
or
The destruction of the universe?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Creating the universe. Destroying it causes all sorts of problems for the locals. There may also be a chance that a bunch of gods will imprison you within a planet for all eternity. We're looking at you Rovagug.
Would you rather have a dragon boss fight in every campaign or fight an eldritch monstrosity from the far realm in every campaign?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
If I had to choose one I would go with a dragon boss fight...it is just a classic and the Far Realms I am kinda meh on.
Would you rather destroy the Star Stone or destroy a artifact of good?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Starstone - it's not necessary for divinity, now it's whole ability is just kind of lame, and it's just... there. That way Good, on the whole, still wins.
Would you rather replace a divinity (taking on everything about them other than visual reference and alignment - you'd basically keep your mind and look, while replacing them) or become a much lesser deity on your own terms (ala mythic)?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Behold! Captain Yesterday! minor god of phallic misrepresentation! (i.e. the second one!)
Would you rather milk a cow or a goat
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Milk a Goat...they are smaller and won't hurt as much if they kick you.
Would you rather play a White Witch From Irrisen or a Umbral Court Agent from Nidal?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Winter Witch, no piercings:-p
[derail] Rookie mistake! cows don't kick nearly as much, as accurately, or as fast! and actually a kick from a goat hurts way more then a cow, also cows tend to be more docile, said the guy that had to milk both cows and a goat by hand, because you know, hippy parents:-)[/derail]
Would you rather have dinner with Deskari or Anghazan, at their place, and you gotta pretend its delicious:-p
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
The former. It'd suck, and I'd fail, but I'd also explain that I *had* to, and then I wouldn't have a goddess of revenge after me.
Would you rather take over the life of your most recent PF character or your most recent 3.X character? (Or neither, and why?)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
A dwarf fighter/druid/stalwart defender 13 focusing on being a Huge earth elemental, romping around in the Stolen lands, or a dwarf wizard/initiate of the sevenfold veil 22 who just smashed in the face of a god in Greyhawk? Hmmmm... I'd go with wizard.
Rather find 1000 gp or 1000000 cp in the dragon hoard?
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Hm... you tempt me greatly, madame. I'd probably go for the dumb 1m in copper, because it is ten times as valuable, technically, and I could get a friend to use a single true creation to make a 2.5k gold-value gem of some sort, and leave the rest to them. The service would normally cost clxslx10g = 15 * 8 * 10 = 1200g, so they're making an extra 1.3k gold over what they'd normally make for such services (easily covering their own casting of such a spell).
Voila, problem solved!
Would you rather get a random artifact (random die roll, equal chance of any artifact whatsoever from this list) or any 20k-value of magic items of your choice?

Would you rather have your hand replaced with an adamantine fist or your foot replaced with an adamantine...foot?
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
I rather have my foot replaced...I like have feeling in both hands.
Would you rather Pathfinder Rules be adapted to sci-fi(space opera) or be adapted to modern urban fantasy?
*Off Topic...about Cows and Goats* I did not know that. My friend with livestock only has goats. But now I know.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Hmm, thats a hard one pathfinder star wars or pathfinder blade runner/ shadowrun, jeez either way is a win-win.
i'd say Urban Fantasy, although not by much and i may change that within the hour
would you rather have a Pirate Crew of Gnomes or Goblins
Off-Topic, but thats okay i hope
on the plus side i've lived in the city for 20 years now, no goats! and i'll never have to cap a pig in the head again
