Who, What, When, Why? May 5, 2011 16:36:09 GMT -6

Due to what I've been reading lately and with the addition of two members looking for Pathfinder games I figured I'd create a board.

My interest in the game is rather low but that doesn't mean I won't play if time permits. If I do end up playing I would hope that once in a while people would play in a game I'd like to run. Not really required, I just want to play and run many games.

As for now there isn't a PF game going here that I know of. I know Eric and Phil are interested.

If anyone wishes to moderate / GM this PF board then let me know. I will set you up to moderate so you can create sub boards for your game information or whatever you'd want to use them for.

When I am a guest at a convention I am there to entertain people and add to the fun they have at the event. thus, unless the game session is advertised as one where the objective is to kill the PCs--and I've done a few of those--I try to keep PCs alive. Of course if a player doesn't want to have his character survive, the natural selection process of the game environment will take over.

Hi All,
I'm trying to get this off the ground. And will try to get with
Paul. I see most of you, this may not your cup -of-
Tea, but I feel most games are fun or not based on who is running them. So, I would like to add some attachments OF THE GAME SYSTEM IN pdf FILE. Take a look and it is hopes that you may see something that will spark your interest.

I've played a lot of D&D and fantasy over the years, and am just a little burnt out of the genre. My last 3.5 game I retired the character due to him finding a better gig in game. I got a lot of strange looks at the table when I said my thief/mage was going to stop adventuring and run the tavern he just stole. Yes, he stole a tavern. I agree 100% about the games that are fun depending on who is running them. I'd go ape stuff for a game of CoC, Paranoia, or Shadowrun. I still want to run Star Wars some but the top of my list of games I want to run is Marvel Super Heroes.

I just like to change it up once in a while.

There is a fly skill? How does that work?

When would you be able to run it? I'm quickly picking up all the physical books, having all of them pirated on pdf

I've only played 2nd once and that was a long time ago. I posted about my characters a few days back.

I have played 3.5 a bit.

From what I can tell it is just d20. D20 systems are very similar. Looking at the PF char sheet reminds me of the SWSE sheet.

No, your right, it is a D20 system, and it's quite simple. I just bought the bestiary yesterday, and I'm a subscriber of the campaign setting, and the adventure path as well. I should have four new books next week. Paizo is a great company, and for that reason I'm still purchasing all the physical copies of the books even though I have all of them on pdf on my laptop. The amount of work they put into this game, and the quality of the product combined with stellar customer service makes me want to stand behind this company.

You are not the first to say that too. PF gets good reviews on a lot of the sites I go to.

	Because World of Warcraft has been the leading culprit in dumbing down the genre to make it easy enough for the mainstream audience who has never heard of an MMO before to hop in and enjoy. Now, this isn't necessarily bad. But the soaring popularity of World of Warcraft has pigeonholed the entire industry into creating clones in order to be successful.

Like I was telling Dan yesterday. PF is hella popular.

I am a little out of your area (I am in NW Indiana) but if you are interested in Pathfinder, I can answer some questions. I am active in a Pathfinder Society Organized Play group, so I am fairly familiar with the rules, both as a play and a GM. Plus, I can put anyone in touch with the local Venture Captain for Pathfinder Society.
