Crystal, do you take art commissions for people other than Merisiel?
I really like your work.
Normally I do, but my freelancing schedule is incredibly backlogged at the moment. That picture of Merisiel is actually from last year (don't tell her)

Crystal,
Who are your favorite DC and Marvel characters?
Which character in all of comics is your favorite character, if not one of the above?
Thanks, =)
For Marvel, I love She-Hulk heads and tales above almost anything. She is basically a study in who I am versus the person I've always wanted to be. I'm also a Dazzler, Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan), and Carol Danvers fan, and my favorite X-Man is Rogue (though I have a serious soft spot for Broo).
From DC, I loved Amethyst growing up, and Legion of Super Heroes (my favorite run is Mark Waid's post Zero Hour reboot, and my favorite Legionnaire is Triad/Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel). I also used to read a lot of Wonder Woman, Superman, Wonder Girl, Batgirl (most Cassandra and Stephanie), and Fables.
But what I was really a fiend for back in the day was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I followed the Mirage and the Archie series in the 90s and loved them both for very different reasons. Then I followed the Image series, but that was less about love. More like watching a train crash

Have you tried out anything by Dreamscarred Press? Particularly in their psionics or path of war line?
Trying again.
Also, do you have a favorite Rat Queen? Also, who's your favorite character in Rat Queens?

What should I ask questions about?Candy recipes? Opinions on comic books? Cartoon trivia? Half-orc grooming techniques? Dating advice?
Regarding half-orc beautification - can you give me any advanced tips for taking care of my half-orc's needs?
I already figured out the chest hair and got his muscles to glisten magnificently. Do you have any recommendations for tusk care? He's thinking bronze filigree.
Are the racial weapons necessary, or should we go against convention? What about Sacred Tattoos? (He flunked out of shaman training, unfortunately.)
Also, he says hi.

Speaking of minis. Is there anywhere to get the minis for your Hireling pdf? I purchased the pdf for Kingmaker #1, but they're apparently no longer included. Which, by the way, both products are amazing. I really wish you had time to complete the other books.I could probably update that product to include those hireling minis on the last page. I'll check with our webstore gninja...
That would be fantastic, thanks! I really appreciate it.

Coming from an international anthropology background, I prefer the CE dating system...
My brain interpreted this as "...I prefer the Chaotic Evil dating system..."
So which Chaotic Evil dating website do you prefer: OKKostchtchie or eDeskari.com?

For half-orcs, proper skin and hair maintenance is key. Scrub lightly with a pumice every other day, and I recommend avocado oil for haircare. Half-orc hair tends to be extremely thick and needs a suitably enduring oil.
Tusk filigree is nice, but it also requires a lot of maintenance to keep the tusks healthy afterwards and prevent the bronze from corroding. Gold is more expensive, but a better investment in the long run, as it won't tarnish or stain teeth.
As for weapons, that's highly situational. A fighter might appreciate the versatility and speed of a double-axe, but my half-orc bard does fine with her rapier.

I ask this of most posters with their own thread, so..
Favorite zombie apocalypse weapons, real or fictional?
Cats, dogs, or other?
Whiskey was your second favorite alcohol, so there's hope for you yet.
Have you tried any scotchs or do you lump them in with all whiskeys?
And, I'll bite as others have not, what do you care/wish to tell us about the change?
The last is from a sentence I recall near the start of the thread, hoping to provide an opportunity for you, not be unkind/uncouth/etc.

Tactical nuclear weapons. Take off and nuke the site from orbit.
Cats, dogs, or other?
I love dogs, but cats are nice too so long as I've taken my allergy meds. I just love the energy and expressiveness of dogs.
Whiskey was your second favorite alcohol, so there's hope for you yet.

I have tried scotch and I like, it, but I do not make enough money to develop a taste for it. Bad enough I love cavier.

Shardizhad is my very first character insert ever. She was my character in our old college Council of Worms game.
So to answer your question: Yes, Shardizhad is absolutely the best dragon name ever.

I just had to google what that is (To my shame I know) and that sounds most excellent. Well I hope I did her justice then! The group I run with really have taken to her, though they're not used to talking to Dragons so that might be why!

Well, she's not necessarily a talky dragon, and they can simple fight her. Shardizhad is neutral, and can be kind of jerk about people touching her stuff. She likes things to be a certain way, but is very bad at communicating those ways. And she's a huge drama queen, but if you treat her well (and especially flatter her), she can very quickly take a shine to newcomers).

That's what I went for, she seems okay but once the players tried to touch her stuff her temper flared up I know it's not really something . The players are quite roleplay orientated and figured out from the description of the treasure pile she might like gems.
One thing I did do that I know Crystal Dragon's can't is I let her change shape, into that of a dark skinned woman but due to her young age she hadn't quite gotten the hang of the power yet so half of her body was crystallized which led to her moving in a weird manner that unnerved the players but still motivated them to talk to her.
Also unintentional or not my players assumed the name was a three way pun of Scheherazade from 1001 nights, crystal shard and Charizard the pokemon so if it was that's amazing, if not my players really go to some weird places when they hear a name.
All in all an excellent encounter in a well written adventure!

Shardizhad sounds like my last cat (in a good way). :)

May the gods bless ye, she who hath given us weredinos!
Speaking of lycanthropes, I recently saw your werecorgi insert. What are the base stats for said corgi, so I can apply the template to foes of my PCs? Or allies. Depends on if they give them a belly rub/ear skritch first.

I don't remember off-hand, but I believe I built them using the basic dog stats, then gave them stability.

Sure!
He'd also originally had a daughter, though I left it intentionally vague whether Ptemenib was the mother or the father. She had a weird, imaginary friend relationship with Qasin--she couldn't see or hear the psychopomp, but but still talked to her because daddy did, and Qasin would answer her and liked her and would follow the daughter around to protect her or warn Ptemenib when his daughter got into things. It was a cute element, but it didn't fit the tone of the story at all.
Ultimately, Ptemenib's gender wasn't super relevant to the narrative, and this being my first AP I was very uneasy about pushing any boundaries.

What tips would you give to run a great game session?
Stretch beforehand.
Seriously, though, go in expecting to have fun, listen to your players and they will give you plenty of plot hooks, and never ever worry about looking like a dork. It's good to know the plot of your adventure and have all your statblocks bookmarked and ready, but in the end so long as you can keep everyone engaged they'll never notice if you veered off the main plot or used the wrong modifier on that last monster's melee attacks.

Which plane would you like to explore more in up and coming pathfinder products?
I'm a fiend for the elemental planes! And I'd love to see the major communities and cultures within each explored. I think there's a lot of potential for adventure, from low level to high level, that we could explore. The outer planes have very distinct flavors and inhabitant attitudes, but the inner planes have room for a lot more variety on any given plane, and you can transplant any major story or political events from the Material Plane, adapt them to that plane's specific challenges, and have a new twist on a classic plot.

I've always wanted someone to expand on the elemental planes, just doing a quick what do oceans, deserts, forests or cities look like in each of the elemental planes is an interesting enough question to explore. What environment would you like explored in the elemental planes the most?

I personally want to explore what cities and settlements look like on those planes. What does a Shaitan city look like on the Elemental Plane of Earth? How do humans and other squishy races get by on, say, the Elemental Plane of Water? What are their economies? Who do they trade with? How do you find your hometown if it's constantly drifting through an endless expanse of elemental water or air? How do other aspects of the plane (how hot or cold it is, proximity to other resources, relations with "monster" creatures) affect various towns and offer variety.
I'd love to write up a Louis XIV France-inspired nation (with its own literal Sun King) dominating a lashed-together city-state of floating landmasses, probably run by sylphs and propped up by elemental colonialism supplying air to settlements in the other planes.

Hmm,
For the PoE I could some Anasazi carved style "cliff" dwellings. Or cave. Or crater. You can carve in every direction there.
For the PoW I see a bunch of Otoh Gunga like glass places... so pretty...

I'm a stretch goal, alongside people like Wes Schneider and Andy Peregrine, and the setting is fun and super-inclusive to boot. It's one of my favorite game products from last decade and I'm really excited to get to chip in on this new version.

Crystal I posted this over on Marks thread but I would also like you Oppion on this.
Mark, I would like you to purpose to the design team to replace two Slayer/Rogue talents with one. The Two are powerful sneak the greater powerful sneak. Both of them have been proven Mathematically not to be worth taking on the thread related to them on the board.
What I would like to replace them with is a talent that simply increases the die type form a d6 to a d8. I think that doing this in a single talent would not be over powered and be a slight boost to slayers and rogues with out over powering them.

For those who missed out on Paizocon can you give us a possible run-down of the rather excellent sounding Goblins and Dinosaurs adventure? The idea of Goblins shooting lasers on the back of Dinosaurs is too intriguing not to enquire about!
