I think the problem isn't the spells. The problem is lack of creative-thinking amongst your spellcasting players and poor planning on the GM part. Wizard Spells - Death Trance: Scouting the necromancer's/witch's lair, and hear someone else? Hide among the bodies. Need to get into the undertakers/tem...

Well, as exciting as a Lopan source book would be, I'd prefer a Jack Burton book first. -Vek "Good luck with that reference, folks. Don't Google it!" I don't need to google it. I know the reference. And... I remember why I always thought of you as awesome. But, this thread just shows the ...

I will say, for all that it's a developed adventure site, I don't think Gersidi is the best place for beginning adventurers... that place is a TPK waiting to happen for a low-level party. Depends on the party, player experience levels. And also, under 2E, what kind of changes were made.. because un...

I'm going to break this down into a few different things, and address them point by point... Usually my player group have about 4-5 NPC's in their group Why so many? NPCs in the party should only be there for one (or preferably more) of the following reasons- 1) There's a "empty spot"- the...

OK, before anyone gets too excited, look at Palladium's general timeliness for getting books out... then take a better look at them getting fantasy books out. It's all well and good to get excited, but, I'd wait until we at least have a "at the printer" message; "it's back from the pr...

I think a lot of the debate is circled around "what, exactly, constitutes being literate, and what is a language?" Schematics aren't words. They're pictures, with symbols representing different things. Hair dryers and radios have pictures on the tags that show not to use them in the shower...

I use a rough outline for taxes. In a game where players end up with a lot of money, I generally tax a little harsher, versus games where I make them scrape for copper, I tax a lot more leniently. My rough outline: Entering a new nobles territory: 0.5% of estimated wealth and goods Entering a new Em...

And, of course, consider history. The Church of Light and Dark was almost definitely the elven deities at one time...or, at least, major deities of the Elven Empire. Likewise, Rurga and her Pantheon left the world for a time because of the Elf-Dwarf war, indicating that they were widely worshiped b...

Can someone flying on a pegasus above an antimagic cloud negate it using another antimagic cloud spell? No, don't do it. We allowed this in our Rifts campaign and I was never happy the result. Battles became about casting more Anti-Magic Clouds than your opponents and once scrolls with the spell on...

Personally, I'd say that *IF* mage2 was able to even get his spell off, then the two AMCs would actually stack, making EVERYONE who was casting spells have to save twice, except the two mages who made AMCs, who would only have to save once...

Damian Magecraft, Jaymz, and myself are no longer associated with this project for various reasons. We wish Hobbes and crew the best of luck in this endeavor.

Goliath Strongarm

And the MA program keeps changing, because they keep having issues. So, my response is thanks, but no thanks

Goliath Strongarm

Posting on the day of is hardly notice..... Very interested in participating, but you need to be aware that there are literally people worldwide, and this needs some prep time. Plus everyone's various schedules. Many of us have school, work, families... can't always sit down for a conference like t...

Goliath Strongarm

It's been said before that PF was just Kevin's homebrew and houserule D&D.

Goliath Strongarm

Uh, NOT under the MA umbrella. The MA program has enough issues, and little enough support. Personally, I want nothing to do with that.

Hangout is great for chatting. For actually trying to get a discussion done, I've always found it to be lacking.

And yeah, people can watch it "later" and post comments... but by that time, the conversation is really pretty much over.

Goliath Strongarm

I'm on Arizona time (yes, we actually are a separate time zone) . I'm a full time (and then some) student, doing field work. When at home, I'm a full time daddy and husband.

Goliath Strongarm

Agreed

Goliath Strongarm

I'm US side, but my schedule makes things like a chat super difficult. Seriously, there's a reason most of my posting is done from my phone

Goliath Strongarm

OK, we need to separate those that want to work on the behind-the-scenes, versus simply the GMs that want to run the games... it's no offense to the GMs (I'm sure we'll keep ya'll informed!), but, to get things going, we need to see who we have to work with...

Myself, I'm game to be a worker...

Goliath Strongarm

Remember, when the Dragon Gods were created by Kevin, it was for a home brew of that "Other" game.. so them resembling those makes a LOT of sense...

Goliath Strongarm

Started working on stuff for both.

We need an easier way to talk this out

Goliath Strongarm

Could always have it have some negative effects. Reduced strength, reduced endurance...

On the other hand, there's the Robin Williams quote:

UNLIMITED COSMIC POWER....itty bitty living space

Goliath Strongarm

Another thing: Would the best way be to post "job offers" (giving 2-3 options), or to actually assign adventures?

Goliath Strongarm

In hypothesis, what it does is gather the rules, and clarify them all. In reality? The RUE did neither

Goliath Strongarm

IF (and I do mean IF) a PF UE does happen, I hope it gets done better than RUE was. That Big 3 that would need to happen: Bring all of the rules into the core book. All of them. Any rules that are going to be used from Rifts (underwater casting? PPE channeling? 2 for living?) need to be in the core ...

Goliath Strongarm

Something else to consider- that Society very strictly controls what special and magic items are available for purchase. You have to go through an adventure where that's listed as one of the end results before you're allowed to buy one... Do we want to go that route? Or perhaps give out lists of wha...

Goliath Strongarm

5) Are there characters/races/classes/etc that should be considered banned or should that again be left up to the individual GMs? Ultimately it should be up to the individual G.M.... But from an adventure standpoint, all official races and classes should be expected to be allowed. I could agree to ...

Goliath Strongarm

1) What should the official name of the society be? (Palladium Fantasy Society, Cabal of the PFRPG.)??? Please post suggestions. Palladium Cabal is SOOOO perfectly fitting, and would make tons of us smile with glee... 2) Should we have this take place on the PFRPG world or should we generate a &quo...

Goliath Strongarm

I don't play play Pathfinder and I don't know anything about what their "RPG Society" is... Can someone actually describe what this is all about and what the goal is? PF stand for Palladium Fantasy. Not pathfinder. The original post made a comment about setting up something similar to Pat...

The piracy issue is no longer an issue. If someone wants a PDF of a Palladium book it is already out there. I would not be all that surprised to be able to find MiF out there already and its only been 2 weeks. I didn't see MiF, but I did see that NG2 was up at a few different places. Of course, tha...

Goliath Strongarm

And done right, my above suggestions could work to make a full megaversal meta campaign

Goliath Strongarm

Random thoughts, based on various posts in the thread. 1) What if there is an "adventurers guild" that works as job getters for adventuring groups. This would be the behind the scenes GM grouping working it all. 2) Meta plot it, sort of. 10 different pieces of the magical orb of world-savi...

Goliath Strongarm

Yes, but that was part of the promotion, not just a PDF up for sale.

Go to drive thru, and look what's offered.

Goliath Strongarm

Kevin is a technophobe, albeit a smart one. He doesn't believe in PDFs. Everyone clamored for them. So, he got mediocre PDFs of stuff that people aren't buying anymore. Then, when they don't sell well, he can appoint and say "see, I tried, but nobody was buying them. I was right all along!"...

Tell that to the demon that is being trapped by a properly drawn circle... smudging the line is basically signing the summoners death sentence.

The industry standard for paint coverage is 350 ft² per gallon. There are 128 fl. oz. in a gallon, so 1 fl. oz. will cover (350/128) = 2.734 ft². There are 144 in² per ft², so multiply: (2.734 ft²)(144 in²/ft²) = 393.7 in². (Round this to 393 or 394 in² as you see fit.) So now we know how much 1 fl...

Mark, I bow to your politeness and actually using the math, and not just common sense.

Most animal sacrifices are really easy for summoners to get. All they need is the animals blood that you are attempting to summon and a sacrifice and you have the components for Summon Animal Circle. So if you just killed a hawk failing a SCEF you have half the componets at the ready to acquire ano...

Boils down to the following: 1) The crew at PB work reportedly insane hours, yet consistently fail to meet their own expectations. **** poor time management? 2) One pperson, who writes, edits everything, and rewrites some (almost all) of the submitted works, on top of being CEO, manager, office mana...

Goliath Strongarm

I'll believe it when it's actually back from the printer. I've no faith left in Kevin actually getting anything (and I do mean ANYTHING) done, let alone on the hilarious time schedules he puts out.

Not to mention if the final draft will actually resemble what was originally written.

Goliath Strongarm

The whole reason Kevin won't go for it.... "This whole electronic thing is just a fad, and we don't have the time to set up for a fad"

Goliath Strongarm

Yep, epigenetics has it's effects on the offspring of living beings. But in a way those effects are transient in their effects. (As in over the generations afterwards the effects trend to be diminished.) Not necessarily true. Epigenetics can play such a major role that they can actually CHANGE the ...

High Seas lists the grimbor as descendants of the temple builders. So, in theory, the grimbor COULD be what's left of the true atlanteans. Maybe the plague mutated them

That's nice. I was made, some things were decided by my genetic code, other things were formed by my experiences in life.
