Ouch. I can't say I'd blame them, but it does seem a little murder-hoboey to slaughter a halfling paladin (say). I think it might have been partly the way it was done - they briefly pretended to go along with the idea, then launched a devastating surprise attack. There was no attempt to warn them o...

War of the Burning Sky #6: Tears of the Burning Sky (lvl 11-13) Also, there are a bunch of gnome and halfling "allies" (including one trillith spy) that are basically useless comic relief; neverthless they demand 40% of any treasure found in the fortress. Good luck with that. In my campai...

I think the "adventure path" format lets them down a bit here. If I was rewriting the campaign, the Fire Forest would be a lot shorter, leaving more space for exploring Seaquen. But no, part 2 is the fire forest, so fire forest is what we get. What did your players think of the adventure?...

War of the Burning Sky #2: The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar (lvl 3-5) [*] If you take the shortest path through this adventure, it would probably take about 10 minutes to complete, but presumably the players are supposed to aimlessly wander around instead. I think the "adventure path&...

* One thing I don't like about the campaign setting is that there's basically no information about gods and religions, other than the very rare comment like "So-and-so worships a god of the sea". On a whim, I set the game in Eberron's distant past, and used the Eberron gods. Turns out the...

amethal , did you end up running it from beginning to end? Yeah, I ran it all the way through. For the most part it was very enjoyable, and the sheer ambition of the thing was a delight - "right, so there's this stag, and it's on fire, and it's in a forest, and that's also on fire; and the fir...

When I ran this campaign , the Trillith certainly did piss off at least one of my players. Turns out he's not a fan of unique creatures having DR 10/Bizarre since in practice it normally amounts to 10/-. (From memory, all of the trillith have different ways of overcoming their damage reduction, so i...

Ah yes, the MERP fumble tables ... I once had a character die after falling out of a fucking tree. Only way it could have been more embarrassing was if he'd been a wood elf rather than a grey elf. In some ways, his death was a relief. Two of the other players were "Tolkien experts" who ins...

Amethal you've been here since March 2012. In that time have you not gotten at all acquainted with the personalities present on this board or are you just pretending right now? Some people would stand out anywhere (and you can probably guess who they are), and I have a better idea about those who'v...

Yes, you only suggested selling them Pathfinder material and then telling them to buy the new Pathfinder edition when it comes out, how could I possibly have thought you were a shill? Who are you arguing with? My response was trying to correct a false impression, not call you stupid. There is, howe...

[quote="Kaelik]Hey Paizo shill, it turns out that you completely misunderstood the situation, and that the person in question is not a game store proprietor. I know that's hard to guess, you would have had to read his signature, and man what are words... If you are going to try to deceptively s...

If you get a kid in the shop asking about Pathfinder, sell him the Beginner Box and send him away to have fun. If he comes back and asks about the Core Rulebook, explain that it is very hard to follow, partly because they left out a few important rules when they copied it over from D&D, and that...
