12/03/2008 03:18:00 ‹Majuba› James Jacobs!
12/03/2008 03:18:00 ‹Pygon› O.O
12/03/2008 03:18:02 ‹Lori› We have been playing 2 players with 4 investigators.
12/03/2008 03:18:03 ‹Charles Evans› Lilith: I checked the CotCT threads in case it was one of those, but culdn't see him mentioned as an athor there.
12/03/2008 03:18:05 ‹Finerion› OMG!
12/03/2008 03:18:08 ‹Rambling Scribe› Hi James!
12/03/2008 03:18:11 ‹James Jacobs› I made it! 
03:18:13 ‹Charles Evans› JJ? You're early!
12/03/2008 03:18:17 ‹Pygon› Welcome James
12/03/2008 03:18:19 * Moth working changes his/her nickname to Mothman
12/03/2008 03:18:24 ‹Mothman› Hey guys
12/03/2008 03:18:29 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: 4 Investigators is a good number.
12/03/2008 03:18:32 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs! :glomp:
12/03/2008 03:18:34 ‹Mothman› You're early James
12/03/2008 03:18:39 ‹Charles Evans› The monser surges aren't overwhelming.
12/03/2008 03:18:42 * Kevin T. joins Main
12/03/2008 03:18:49 ‹OroboroSteve› In all seriousness, any and all folks are certainly welcome to head over en masse from Paizocon
12/03/2008 03:18:56 * Charles Evans passes JJ a celeebratory :cthulhu:
12/03/2008 03:18:58 ‹Lilith› OroboroSteve: Eeeeexcellent. :)
12/03/2008 03:19:00 ‹Kevin T.› Evening James
12/03/2008 03:19:14 ‹Lilith› OroboroSteve: How is your dice stock?
12/03/2008 03:19:15 ‹Lori› We keep getting bad card draws - gate open already -->surge!
12/03/2008 03:19:22 ‹Charles Evans› JJ: I now have all the RotRL adventures...
12/03/2008 03:19:39 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: You have to get the ones on 'hot spot' sites selaed fast.
12/03/2008 03:19:50 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: I received my Harrow deck! Now I can do Harrow readings at PaizoCon! :squee:
12/03/2008 03:20:01 ‹Lori› We're learning.  Slowly.
12/03/2008 03:20:09 * DMcCoy1693 joins Main
12/03/2008 03:20:14 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: Unless you get the 'No one can help you Now' Mythos card, in which case you're in trouble.
12/03/2008 03:20:16 ‹Rambling Scribe› My Harrow deack ahsn't shipped yet!:sad:
12/03/2008 03:20:17 ‹DMcCoy1693› Hey everyone
12/03/2008 03:20:18 ‹Lilith› Charles Evans: Steve's project isn't for CotCT...
12/03/2008 03:20:26 ‹Lori› Anyone up for teaching me Kill Doctor Lucky at Paizocon?
12/03/2008 03:20:32 ‹OroboroSteve› Lilith: obviously, we keep our dice very well stocked, we wouldn't be much of a shop if we didn't ;-0)
12/03/2008 03:20:36 ‹Kevin T.› Got my Harrow Deck
12/03/2008 03:20:41 ‹Kevin T.› just haven't learned how to play it yet
12/03/2008 03:20:43 ‹Lilith› OroboroSteve: Eeeexcellent.
12/03/2008 03:20:46 ‹Kevin T.› But love the art
12/03/2008 03:20:55 ‹Lilith› Lori: Be happy to! I demo'ed it at GenCon last year. :D
12/03/2008 03:20:59 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: The Woods is one of the worst sites for gate openings in the basic game (wth no expansions)
12/03/2008 03:21:02 ‹OroboroSteve› Gah, just changed my font sizes inadvertantly!!!
12/03/2008 03:21:20 ‹Lilith› OroboroSteve: Press "Ctrl-0" (that's zero) to reset it.
12/03/2008 03:21:20 ‹Lori› Lilith, cool!  Count me in for KDL.
12/03/2008 03:21:25 ‹James Jacobs› I have to be careful about what I say. the VICE PRESIDENT is watching.
12/03/2008 03:21:29 ‹OroboroSteve› Yeah, wher, fixed
12/03/2008 03:21:40 ‹DMcCoy1693› Hey James, HOw's yoru day going?
12/03/2008 03:21:44 ‹Rookseye› Cheney is everywhere
12/03/2008 03:21:50 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: OOOooo!
12/03/2008 03:21:53 ‹Kevin T.› So we shouldn't talk about how you plan on taking over the world using Jason Bulhman's help?
12/03/2008 03:22:11 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: And if you plan to close a gate make sure that the investogator who ges off to that other world has *more* than the 5 clue tokens necessary for a seal, unless you like taking big risks... Of course an Elder Sign and several clues are a viable option.
12/03/2008 03:22:15 * Lilith gives James Jacobs a homemade ice cream cookie sammich.
12/03/2008 03:22:33 * OroboroSteve quit (timeout)

12/03/2008 03:22:37 ‹Lori› Charles, learned that the hard way too. 
12/03/2008 03:23:07 ‹Mothman› um ... vice president?
12/03/2008 03:23:12 * Daigle appears in a puff of cotton candy.
12/03/2008 03:23:12 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: Nothing like a Skill check in an other World (especially R'lyeh) to deplete those clue tokens....
12/03/2008 03:23:24 ‹Daigle› Evening ladies and gentlemen!
12/03/2008 03:23:25 ‹Lilith› DAIGLE! :excite:
12/03/2008 03:23:26 ‹OroboroSteve› gah, I so have to upgrade to firefox on my computer here....
12/03/2008 03:23:29 * Lilith glomps Daigle! :glomp:
12/03/2008 03:23:34 ‹Rambling Scribe› Adam!
12/03/2008 03:23:35 ‹Mothman› hey Daigle
12/03/2008 03:23:38 * Daigle hugs Lilz!
12/03/2008 03:23:40 ‹Finerion› hey there
12/03/2008 03:23:53 ‹James Jacobs› I don't need Bulmahn to take over the world.
12/03/2008 03:23:53 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: Luck is often called for in Other World encounters, but there's enough variation for something unexpected that you hadn't counted on coming up doing so.
12/03/2008 03:23:53 * Daigle runs around the room distributing high fives
12/03/2008 03:23:59 ‹James Jacobs› He'd just slow me down.
12/03/2008 03:24:02 ‹Kevin T.› lol
12/03/2008 03:24:06 ‹Takasi› greetings James
12/03/2008 03:24:22 ‹Kevin T.› Grr I actually need to talk to Bulhman
12/03/2008 03:24:27 ‹OroboroSteve› Evenin' James!
12/03/2008 03:24:35 ‹Kevin T.› Ran into some old friends of his, and they wanted me to give him a message
12/03/2008 03:24:55 ‹Lori› Charles - I think another once or twice thru the game and we will be in much better shape.  It was a bit overwhelming at first pass.
12/03/2008 03:24:59 * DMcCoy1693 changes his/her nickname to That Damn 1693 Guy
12/03/2008 03:25:05 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Pseudodragons vs Imps n Korvosa.  Do you have a date for when you will blog and reveal all?
12/03/2008 03:25:19 * Shady Bastard joins Main
12/03/2008 03:25:21 ‹That Damn 1693 Guy› Goodie, my color changed from pink to .... ehhh
12/03/2008 03:25:29 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: Yog-Sothoth with eight investigators is *!@?!
12/03/2008 03:25:37 * Shady Bastard quit
12/03/2008 03:25:57 ‹Majuba› Question: What's with the 100MB size of the Korvosa Poster Map PDF?
12/03/2008 03:26:14 ‹Lilith› Majuba: They redid it...I got an email that shrunk it down somewhat.
12/03/2008 03:26:23 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: You can't afford a single extra gate opening, and some of the sites (especially with The Dunwich Horror added in) have horribly high chances of 'a gate opens and a monster apears' encounters.
12/03/2008 03:26:47 * Wolfshead quit (timeout)

12/03/2008 03:26:47 ‹Majuba› Lilith: the Guide to, or the Poster Map?
12/03/2008 03:26:55 ‹Lilith› Majuba: Poster
12/03/2008 03:27:04 ‹Lilith› Majuba: Repersonalize for smaller file size
12/03/2008 03:27:08 * Lori quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 03:27:48 ‹That Damn 1693 Guy› James, are you currently working on anything that has been announced?
12/03/2008 03:27:48 ‹Charles Evans› Lori: And don't forget to trade items & cash between investigators (not clue tokens alas during the move phase when investigators pass one another in a street or location.
12/03/2008 03:27:56 ‹Majuba› Ah ha! - I did about 30 min ago and hadn't - thanks Lil - Paizo Customer Service Rocks :)
12/03/2008 03:28:07 ‹Charles Evans› And there she goes.
12/03/2008 03:28:08 * Gemma quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 03:28:09 ‹James Jacobs› Charles> No date for the blog about the pseudodragons vs. imps yet. I still have to write it, in any event. I suspect by the end of the month something'll show up.
12/03/2008 03:28:46 ‹James Jacobs› Majuba> The 100MB sized map is probably the raw map file we sent to the printer. I believe Vic fixed it so it's a lot smaller now; you'll want to go back and check your downloads on paizo.com.

12/03/2008 03:29:39 ‹Blazej› Maroon!
12/03/2008 03:29:43 ‹Charles Evans› JJ how is moral at present a Paizo after events on the 4E threads today?  Has it taken a hit?
12/03/2008 03:29:49 ‹James Jacobs› That Damn 1693 Guy> I'm working on plenty of projects that have been announced, yeah. PLUS a few that haven't been anounced.
12/03/2008 03:30:10 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Must...spill...beans! :shakefist:
12/03/2008 03:30:11 ‹Blazej› Always thought it was more of a light red throne myself.
12/03/2008 03:30:18 ‹Charles Evans› (I'm thinking of the post by someone saying that the rudeness had put them off buying Paizo products)
12/03/2008 03:30:24 ‹James Jacobs› The big thing I'm working on now, of course, is Pathfinder. Edits for #9, Development for #10, and ordering art for #12.
12/03/2008 03:30:36 ‹Charles Evans› (Sorry to ask about it, but I feel several people will want to know)
12/03/2008 03:30:40 ‹That Damn 1693 Guy› one the ones that have been announced, care to tell us anything in particular you're enjoying more then others?
12/03/2008 03:31:06 ‹James Jacobs› Charles> I've glanced a little bit at the 4E threads... but for the most part, we here in the editorial pit tend to avoid that section of the boards. They're just not constructive for us.
12/03/2008 03:31:16 ‹Lori B› I am really enjoying the NPC's for PF#7.  Good job Nick.
12/03/2008 03:31:44 ‹James Jacobs› Although it is, of course, always disheartening to see rage and anger and madness on the boards. It's frustrating too.
12/03/2008 03:32:11 ‹Majuba› JJ: other than "Secrets" section of Guide to Korvosa - the rest safe for players?
12/03/2008 03:32:35 ‹Lori B› I think the "rage" is a tribute to your great products.  No one wants them to change.
12/03/2008 03:32:46 ‹James Jacobs› But as for the "rudeness of the boards losing us a customer," nah... customers come and go. It's MORE disheartening to look at the "Cancel my subscription" threads, honestly.
12/03/2008 03:32:48 ‹Charles Evans› Lilith: I have raised the Chat Signal!
12/03/2008 03:32:53 ‹James Jacobs› Those are also threads I do not frequent.
12/03/2008 03:33:06 ‹Takasi› James, were there a lot of issues in getting Edge of Anarchy together?
12/03/2008 03:33:10 ‹Blazej› The cancel my subcription threads make me sad.
12/03/2008 03:33:20 ‹Charles Evans› JJ Fair enough ...
12/03/2008 03:33:30 ‹Lilith› Blazej: Me too...:(
12/03/2008 03:33:38 ‹James Jacobs› TD1967Guy> These days, I'm pretty much 100% Pathfinder. Although I DID just finish off an article for Wolf Baur's magazine. That was fun.
12/03/2008 03:33:50 ‹Lilith› Blazej: Although most seem to be money-related concerns
12/03/2008 03:34:00 ‹Takasi› what was the article about James Jacobs?
12/03/2008 03:34:02 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Reeeally? For the next issue? And what's it about?
12/03/2008 03:34:21 ‹Lori B› Hopefully more are subscribing daily than cancelling daily.?
12/03/2008 03:34:25 ‹Majuba› KQ3 was pretty rocking IMO - glad you're contributing
12/03/2008 03:34:30 ‹Blazej› Lilith, True.
12/03/2008 03:34:31 * Mothman quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 03:34:35 ‹James Jacobs› Lori> Yeah; Nick really outdid himself with the great NPCs for Edge of Anarchy. It's the main reason I wanted him to write the adventure, in fact. I knew I'd end up having to redraw all his maps, but it'd be worth it for characters like Vencarlo and Trinia and Sabina and Gaedren and etc.
12/03/2008 03:34:49 * Lilith gives Charles Evans a cookie for raising the chat signal. :cookie:
12/03/2008 03:34:58 ‹James Jacobs› Majuba> Apart from the "Secrets" chapter and the appendix, Guide to Korvosa is pretty safe for players.
12/03/2008 03:35:17 ‹Charles Evans› Lilith: A gluten free one of course? :D
12/03/2008 03:35:23 ‹Lilith› Charles Evans: Absolutely.
12/03/2008 03:35:29 ‹Takasi› James Jacobs, any news on True20 conversions?
12/03/2008 03:35:33 ‹James Jacobs› You can basically just rip out pages 53 on, paint over page 52 in black, and POW. Instant player handout.
12/03/2008 03:35:57 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Rip our precious?!?!? :ohnoes:
12/03/2008 03:36:05 * Lilith pets her Guide...
12/03/2008 03:36:12 ‹Lilith› Precious...
12/03/2008 03:36:12 ‹Rambling Scribe› You'll forgive me if I don't actually rip my book in half!
12/03/2008 03:36:15 ‹Finerion› James Jacobs> A question concerning material for the Pathfinder wiki being assembled. Any particular sections you would like to see and what content can we add (message board snippets, blog posts, etc.)?
12/03/2008 03:36:23 * Takasi accidentally rips out his Korvosa map.  Oops!
12/03/2008 03:36:26 ‹Lori B› And I could not even cut the map out.  I printed up the pdf map.
12/03/2008 03:36:44 ‹Lilith› Yeah, the Korvosa map...worries me...:(
12/03/2008 03:36:46 ‹Blazej› Was the summoning feat supposed to be in the appendix of the Guide to Korvosa too.  There is a reference in the academy section saying to see the appendix, but there is nothing ther.
12/03/2008 03:36:59 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> There are always issues getting pathfinder adventures together. Edge of Anarchy's big problem was that the maps Nick turned over were pretty much all useless and had to be redrawn, which had ripple effects in most of the dungeons when rooms changed and went away or whatever. And working the Harrow stuff in was a bit rough, since the cards were in development parallel to Nick's design.
12/03/2008 03:37:27 ‹Blazej› I am imagining them.
12/03/2008 03:37:32 ‹James Jacobs› I can't say yet what I'm writing for Kobold Quarterly, alas.
12/03/2008 03:37:33 ‹Blazej› On the back of napkins.
12/03/2008 03:37:46 ‹Blazej› In crayon.
12/03/2008 03:37:48 ‹Takasi› it does feel a little rushed together, and to be really honest it almost seems scatterbrain in certain parts
12/03/2008 03:37:49 ‹Lilith› Blazej: That's about right (for the napkin maps)
12/03/2008 03:38:15 ‹James Jacobs› I really REALLY love what Kobold Quarterly's turning into. It's got a cool "Dragon around issue 100" vibe to it that really kicks ass.
12/03/2008 03:38:34 ‹Finerion› agreed
12/03/2008 03:38:46 ‹Rookseye› A couple of Elmore covers would cinch it
12/03/2008 03:38:47 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> True20 conversions are pretty much out of my hands. They're handled 100% by Green Ronin, and we don't really track them that much. I don't at least. So I've no news there, alas.
12/03/2008 03:39:09 * theacemu quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 03:39:21 ‹Lori B› James, do you see yourself getting a little more lead time for PF issues after "the big version decision"?
12/03/2008 03:39:44 ‹Charles Evans› JJ I know that you haven't decided yet whether or not to go 4th or stay 3.5, but I would like to know, if you did stay 3.5, would you work in partnership with another company- maybe necromancer Games- so that someone else was producing 'official' 4E PDFs (maybe) of 4E conversions; a lot of the work of 4E conversions would be making up appropriate 4E versions of the monsters, and following the 4E m
12/03/2008 03:39:58 ‹James Jacobs› Finerioin> Message board snippets are pretty much never trustworthy for actual world canon. Same with blog posts, to a certain extent. I'd be most comfortable, really, with a wiki focusing on just what makes it into print. I suppose actual eratta that shows up online counts, now that I think of it.
12/03/2008 03:40:11 * Kevin T. quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 03:40:13 ‹Charles Evans› (m)opnster thread it struck me that Necromancer Games would be excellently placed to cary out that work...
12/03/2008 03:40:28 ‹James Jacobs› But a lot of the stuff we post on the boards is, in many cases, still stuff in development. It isn't necessarily what ends up in the world in the end.
12/03/2008 03:40:42 * Glum joins Main
12/03/2008 03:40:47 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah, the map being bound into the book was unfortunate. :(
12/03/2008 03:40:50 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Can we pry some psionic information out of your noggin?
12/03/2008 03:40:50 ‹Charles Evans› At least that's the current impression I'm getting of 4E.
12/03/2008 03:41:04 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Any chance it could be released separately for a minimal fee?
12/03/2008 03:41:29 * Mothman joins Main
12/03/2008 03:41:38 ‹James Jacobs› Blazej> Yeah. The summoning feat ended up being moved from the Korvosa book into the Player's Guide. That was a last minute change and we'd forgotten it was mentioned elsewhere. The Sable Company marine feat got moved to the Player's Guide in the same way.
12/03/2008 03:41:57 ‹Mothman› Stupid Internet Explorer!
12/03/2008 03:42:05 * Karelzarath joins Main
12/03/2008 03:42:13 ‹Blazej› The chatroom hates IE.
12/03/2008 03:42:18 ‹Pygon› Moth - Firefox handles this chat room wonderfully
12/03/2008 03:42:21 ‹Blazej› Hates it.
12/03/2008 03:42:23 ‹James Jacobs› Lori B> I don't see me getting more lead time for Pathfinder after the "Big version decision," nope.
12/03/2008 03:42:26 ‹Rambling Scribe› Yay Firefox!
12/03/2008 03:42:27 ‹Karelzarath› Yo ho... :ahoy:

12/03/2008 03:42:55 ‹James Jacobs› Charles> I'm not really able to do much in the way of "what ifs" regarding 3E or 4E at this point.
12/03/2008 03:42:58 ‹Karelzarath› Heya!  And a :glomp: for Lilith.
12/03/2008 03:43:33 ‹Finerion› Well kids, time for this old man to hit the sack. Take care everyone and good night. :thugs:
12/03/2008 03:43:37 ‹Blazej› What ifs...

12/03/2008 03:43:49 ‹James Jacobs› Lilith> Psionic info? Nothing really new yet to reveal there. Intellect Devourers use them. Irori has some sort of tie to them, I think. There's some monk/psionic stuff in Vudra prolly...
12/03/2008 03:43:58 ‹Mothman› Blazej and Pygon: this chat is on while I'm at work, so I just use the browser that we have here ,, which is IE...
12/03/2008 03:44:20 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Cool! And with the Player's Guides going away, will we still get nifty background traits? I love those!
12/03/2008 03:44:23 ‹Blazej› Who would win?  Batman statted in 3.5 or Batman in 4th edition.
12/03/2008 03:44:34 ‹Pygon› I used IE for a while but I got one too many accidental signoffs that took way too long to complete
12/03/2008 03:44:38 ‹Karelzarath› Wait, no more players' guides?  Bummer.
12/03/2008 03:44:45 ‹Glum› Any big news tonight?
12/03/2008 03:44:47 ‹Blazej› Mothman, understandable.
12/03/2008 03:44:50 ‹James Jacobs› Player's Guides aren't going away. They're just getting renamed to Pathfinder Companion and getting a bit bigger.
12/03/2008 03:44:58 ‹Karelzarath› Oh, sweet!
12/03/2008 03:44:59 ‹Majuba› Yay bigger
12/03/2008 03:45:07 ‹Rambling Scribe› I forgot how I used to get kicked off the chat before I switched to Firefox.
12/03/2008 03:45:13 * Finerion quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 03:45:14 ‹Lori B› I think the player books are a great idea.
12/03/2008 03:45:21 ‹Majuba› Boo harder to print at work enough copies for players.. erm..
12/03/2008 03:45:24 ‹Rookseye› I'm happy to pay, even if the first taste was free
12/03/2008 03:45:26 * Majuba erases that
12/03/2008 03:45:35 ‹Lori B› I have shown some PF info to my group, but don't want them to look too closely.
12/03/2008 03:45:41 ‹Lilith› Yes, massive kudos and buckets of ice cream for player products! Yay!
12/03/2008 03:45:50 ‹James Jacobs› We'll be doing a Pathfinder Companion (32 page book) every other month. Six a year. Of those six, two will be geared toward starting up new Adventure Paths, in the same way the Player's Guides did, but we'll have a lot more room and time to do them.
12/03/2008 03:45:50 ‹Mothman› James: your leukodaemon kicks ass! Well, graphically and thematically at any rate - any more you can tell us about him, or Daemons in general?
12/03/2008 03:45:54 ‹Karelzarath› Handouts FTW!
12/03/2008 03:46:00 ‹Rambling Scribe› Majuba: put white out on the screen and no one will see.
12/03/2008 03:46:21 ‹James Jacobs› I can say plenty about daemons. Demons and devils too!
12/03/2008 03:46:30 ‹Lilith› Daemons!
12/03/2008 03:46:35 ‹Lilith› Tell us!
12/03/2008 03:46:38 ‹Blazej› James Jacobs, Will you still be repeating the information in them?  Lists of dieties and the like.
12/03/2008 03:46:38 ‹James Jacobs› Four of the daemon lords, for example, are basically the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
12/03/2008 03:46:42 ‹James Jacobs› Charon is death, of course.
12/03/2008 03:46:46 ‹Pygon› Daemons like feeding on death - what kinds of deals do they make?
12/03/2008 03:47:08 ‹Blazej› With or without salt?
12/03/2008 03:47:09 ‹Rookseye› I love the daemons, apathetic monolithic evil is cool.
12/03/2008 03:47:25 ‹Rookseye› cool nifty
12/03/2008 03:47:30 ‹Daigle› Agreed...I was stoked to see that blog post!
12/03/2008 03:47:31 ‹OroboroSteve› Right folks, pesky customers call, gotta drop off for a bit - back on after 10
12/03/2008 03:47:41 ‹James Jacobs› Blazej> Lists of deities will not be repeated. By the time the next Adventure Path starts, we'll already have those lists in two free PDFs already, PLUS in the Gazetteer, PLUS in the Hardcover Campaign Setting. That info is out there already.
12/03/2008 03:47:47 * OroboroSteve quit
12/03/2008 03:48:02 * Karelzarath quietly waves "Hi" to Daigle
12/03/2008 03:48:16 ‹Daigle› How frequently will new deities be revealed?
12/03/2008 03:48:18 ‹James Jacobs› Daemons like feeding on life. They don't enjoy death as much. They also like collecting souls and using them to gain power. They often play the devils and demons off each other.
12/03/2008 03:48:21 ‹Blazej› James Jacobs, got it.
12/03/2008 03:48:23 * Daigle waves to Karelzarath
12/03/2008 03:48:48 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Any plans for slaad/gith replacements? And when will we read more about the planes?
12/03/2008 03:48:52 ‹James Jacobs› Daigle> At this point, as frequently as whatever adventure we're working on wants them to be revealed.
12/03/2008 03:49:03 ‹Daigle› gracias
12/03/2008 03:49:19 ‹Glum› Seonds Lilith's question about Slaad replacements
12/03/2008 03:49:27 ‹James Jacobs› There's four new goblin deities detailed in Classic Monsters, for example. And Gods and Magic will have a fair amount about other obscure deities we've mentioned like Droskar and Ghlaunder and Groetus.
12/03/2008 03:49:39 ‹James Jacobs› But there's not a set schedule on revealing new deities.
12/03/2008 03:49:42 ‹Mothman› Daemons as the four horseman - way cool 
03:50:09 ‹Daigle›  What deities are elves more apt to worship?
12/03/2008 03:50:13 ‹James Jacobs› I kind of feel like the denizens of Leng from Pathfinder 6 could be a pretty cool gith replacement eventually. Or even a mind flayer replacement.
12/03/2008 03:50:28 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Both would work.
12/03/2008 03:50:30 ‹James Jacobs› But at this point, we don't have much going on for the Chaotic Neutral guys. We will soon!
12/03/2008 03:50:48 * Lilith gives a cookie to Glum, to help him cheer up. :cookie:
12/03/2008 03:51:00 * Glum changes his/her nickname to Watcher
12/03/2008 03:51:02 ‹Watcher› thanks
12/03/2008 03:51:08 ‹Rookseye› James> Andoran has been described somewhere as "Class D&D Land" will we find out more about it in Guide to Darkmoon Vale?
12/03/2008 03:51:11 ‹Daigle› Howdy Watcher
12/03/2008 03:51:15 ‹Watcher› howdy
12/03/2008 03:51:26 ‹Mothman› hey Watcher
12/03/2008 03:51:27 ‹Charles Evans› Watcher: How is the pursuit of the Holy GSL going since you last posted an update?
12/03/2008 03:51:28 ‹Rambling Scribe› Heya Watcher
12/03/2008 03:51:37 ‹James Jacobs› Of the core 20 deities, elves are most closely tied to Desna, Calistria, and Nethys. Elves also have a few other "lesser" deities they worship, with names that haven't yet been invented.
12/03/2008 03:51:49 ‹Charles Evans› Any further progress? :)
12/03/2008 03:51:54 ‹Watcher› Charles Evans, I need to walk away from it. I hope they answer, but this morning got me too invested
12/03/2008 03:51:56 ‹James Jacobs› What does "Class D&D Land" even mean?
12/03/2008 03:52:04 ‹Blazej› Elves don't like rushing towards naming things.
12/03/2008 03:52:09 ‹Rookseye› typo, meant Classic
12/03/2008 03:52:12 ‹Rookseye› my bad
12/03/2008 03:52:14 ‹Charles Evans› Watcher: I understand... :(
12/03/2008 03:52:16 ‹Blazej› :P
12/03/2008 03:52:16 ‹Lilith› Blazej: They do have the time...:P
12/03/2008 03:52:21 ‹James Jacobs› There'll probably be some info about Andoran in Guide to Darkmoon Vale. CERTAINLY more info about Andoran in the Gazetteer and the hardcover.
12/03/2008 03:52:21 ‹Rookseye› Eastern time, and I need the zzz's soon
12/03/2008 03:52:27 ‹Charles Evans› Watcher: You've done what you can.
12/03/2008 03:52:30 ‹Mothman› I've felt that in a lot of D&D products slaad were just kind of used as alternate demons - I'd like to see something different with the Paizo "slaad"
12/03/2008 03:52:32 ‹James Jacobs› Charles> No GSL yet.
12/03/2008 03:53:01 ‹Mothman› Lilith: Love the crimson chat
12/03/2008 03:53:01 ‹Lilith› Mothman: More chaos beastie-type things.
12/03/2008 03:53:15 ‹Mothman› Lilith: yeah, something like that maybe
12/03/2008 03:53:17 ‹Majuba› Mothman: Agreed on Slaad - they are cool, but too often act Chaotic Evil entirely
12/03/2008 03:53:20 ‹James Jacobs› Slaad never really struck me as cool Limbo monsters. They were cool, sure, but not as the LORDS OF LIMBO.
12/03/2008 03:53:22 ‹Lilith› Mothman: Fatespinner had a good idea to change it to fit the current AP. So red it is. :)
12/03/2008 03:53:24 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Any update on Tyralandi now that Erik has more time?
12/03/2008 03:53:36 ‹James Jacobs› Poor Tyralandi. I still miss her!
12/03/2008 03:53:41 ‹Mothman› I'm not sure if the problem was slaad, or how they tended to be used in published adventures
12/03/2008 03:53:55 ‹Rambling Scribe› I've always loved slaad, but I sort of ignored their background purpose.
12/03/2008 03:53:57 * Charles Evans runs down his mental checklist of things to ask....
12/03/2008 03:53:59 ‹James Jacobs› I can say this, though... she was carried out of the first battle in the arena on the shoulders of her new minions in triumph!
12/03/2008 03:54:04 ‹Mothman› Good on Fatespinner!
12/03/2008 03:54:13 ‹Charles Evans› New minions? :)
12/03/2008 03:54:17 ‹Rambling Scribe› To me slaad are just about injecting eggs into PCs.
12/03/2008 03:54:17 ‹James Jacobs› yup.
12/03/2008 03:54:19 ‹Blazej› Aren't the :cthulhu:-like creatures handling the chaos beastie creatures.
12/03/2008 03:54:23 ‹Lilith› Everybody needs more minions. :)
12/03/2008 03:54:25 ‹Charles Evans› Ah... She was a cleric of Wee Jas.... :D
12/03/2008 03:54:40 ‹James Jacobs› One of Tyralandi's domains is Mind. The other is Domination. Both came in QUITE HANDY in that first arena battle.
12/03/2008 03:54:44 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Ooh! What did you think of the shoggoth in J3: Crucible of Chaos?
12/03/2008 03:54:59 ‹Charles Evans› Now, darn it.. she IS a cleric of Wee Jas, and will be until the campaign is over.
12/03/2008 03:54:59 ‹James Jacobs› I love the shoggoth illustration. Love it.
12/03/2008 03:55:23 ‹Watcher› I sort of like Exalted's approach to Wyld Fae for creatures of chaos. Granted no one wants to rip another setting off
12/03/2008 03:55:39 ‹deClench› Shoggoths AND flying apes. J3 looks great!
12/03/2008 03:55:40 ‹James Jacobs› And the stats are pretty solid. The use of the shoggoth in the adventure's pretty cool... not really in keeping with their themes in Lovecraft, but certainly fits in to the adventure and the feel of high fantasy pretty awesome!
12/03/2008 03:55:49 ‹Takasi› James Jacobs, have you ever published an adventure with elemental domain clerics who rebuke dragons?
12/03/2008 03:55:55 ‹Charles Evans› :cthulhu: things non-sentient ones, anyway)=chaos....
12/03/2008 03:55:57 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> Nope.
12/03/2008 03:56:09 ‹James Jacobs› That's a really interesting idea, thoguh.
12/03/2008 03:56:12 ‹Rookseye› Love the shoggoths...missed the giant blind cave penguins though
12/03/2008 03:56:19 ‹Takasi› that does work, right?
12/03/2008 03:56:25 ‹Blazej› Why not?
12/03/2008 03:56:30 * Karelzarath grins wickedly at Takasi.
12/03/2008 03:56:43 ‹Blazej› Doesn't it just say they need the subtype?
12/03/2008 03:56:44 ‹Karelzarath› You stealin' my idea, bo'ah?  ;)
12/03/2008 03:56:55 ‹Takasi› :plot:
12/03/2008 03:57:03 ‹Majuba› Takasi: yep
12/03/2008 03:57:04 ‹James Jacobs› I think so, yeah. Except that dragons have such high hit dice... it'd be tough to make work with the way the rebuking rules work right now. Assuming you're talking about a cleric who has dragon slaves.
12/03/2008 03:57:12 ‹Charles Evans› james Jacobs: German translations???
12/03/2008 03:57:18 ‹James Jacobs› No news.
12/03/2008 03:57:36 ‹Karelzarath› But, yes, a cleric with dragon slaves. :dragon:
12/03/2008 03:57:47 * Charles Evans sighs and checks another thing off the mental check list....
12/03/2008 03:57:51 ‹Blazej› Fly my minions!  Until you get big enough to realize that I'm below you on the food chain!
12/03/2008 03:58:03 ‹Takasi› lol
12/03/2008 03:58:11 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Drow that ride cave lizards? (Or bats????:))
12/03/2008 03:58:14 ‹James Jacobs› it's looking increasingly grim for bat-riding drow
12/03/2008 03:58:24 ‹James Jacobs› Lizard-riding drow are in, though, for sure.
12/03/2008 03:58:28 ‹Karelzarath› Aww... :(
12/03/2008 03:58:35 ‹Takasi› James Jacobs, I'd like to see an entire AP on a plague of lycanthropy
12/03/2008 03:58:39 ‹Takasi› I want were jellyfish
12/03/2008 03:58:43 ‹Takasi› :P
12/03/2008 03:58:46 * Mr Baron joins Main
12/03/2008 03:58:51 ‹Karelzarath› Weresocks
12/03/2008 03:58:54 ‹Pygon› uh oh... moon.. *splut* .... "ew"
12/03/2008 03:58:58 ‹Charles Evans› ames Jacobs: Ripnugget demonstrated just how bad geckos could be? :D
12/03/2008 03:59:03 ‹Charles Evans› (J)ames
12/03/2008 03:59:06 ‹James Jacobs› We do have wererats on the cover of Pathfinder 13...
12/03/2008 03:59:09 ‹Blazej› I always wear socks.
12/03/2008 03:59:16 ‹Daigle› Yay wererats!
12/03/2008 03:59:21 ‹James Jacobs› Geckos rock.
12/03/2008 03:59:22 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Can I play some music and bribe them with cheese? :P
12/03/2008 03:59:30 ‹Karelzarath› Wererats are awesome
12/03/2008 03:59:34 ‹Takasi› excellent, perfect start for Second Darkness
12/03/2008 03:59:37 ‹Takasi› is it WAR?
12/03/2008 03:59:39 ‹James Jacobs› He's taking the knife out of the cheese! Do you think he wants some cheese?
12/03/2008 03:59:49 * Hill Giant joins Main
12/03/2008 03:59:54 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: I gather that Yasha's lizard business is now rumoured to be up and running....
12/03/2008 03:59:56 ‹Blazej› Hello. ?
12/03/2008 03:59:56 ‹Takasi› or the first non-WAR?
12/03/2008 03:59:57 ‹Daigle› Howdy Hill Giant
12/03/2008 03:59:57 * Majuba sniffles, "My Ripnugget got 20-20-instant killed last week"
12/03/2008 04:00:06 ‹Rambling Scribe› Hi Hill Giant!
12/03/2008 04:00:08 ‹James Jacobs› Nope. Starting with Pathfinder 13, Steve Prescott is doing the covers so Wayne can take a bit of a break and do us some covers for some other stuffs.
12/03/2008 04:00:21 ‹Takasi› other stuff???
12/03/2008 04:00:30 ‹James Jacobs› Yup
12/03/2008 04:00:30 ‹Lilith› Hill Giant! :glomp:
12/03/2008 04:00:34 ‹Watcher› Mi Ripnugget kicked the crap out of them before they brought him down. He rolled really well
12/03/2008 04:00:39 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Teeeeeeeelllllllllllllllll ussssssssssssss!
12/03/2008 04:00:43 ‹Takasi› [-o>
12/03/2008 04:00:48 ‹Mr Baron› any word on AP4?
12/03/2008 04:00:52 ‹James Jacobs› Wayne will continue to do art for Paizo as long as Wayne wants.
12/03/2008 04:01:04 ‹Watcher› cheer us up with AP4 hints
12/03/2008 04:01:06 ‹James Jacobs› I can't say much more about that yet, alas.
12/03/2008 04:01:11 ‹James Jacobs› AP4 hints, huh?
12/03/2008 04:01:14 ‹Blazej› One of my players AC 29 dwarven character got his face beaten in by giants.
12/03/2008 04:01:20 ‹Watcher› not even the region?
12/03/2008 04:01:25 ‹Takasi› just tell him the beating will continue until morale improves :P
12/03/2008 04:01:29 ‹Lori B› I picture lots of great brainstorming sessions at the Paizo offices.  Or is it mostly editing?
12/03/2008 04:01:31 ‹Majuba› Watcher: ya, I had one dead animal, two unconcious PC's, and two at 4 hp, with just one hit on Ripnugget before that
12/03/2008 04:01:37 ‹James Jacobs› Since the first AP2 adventure just came out, and we're half a year away from AP3... isn't it a little early for AP4 hints?
12/03/2008 04:01:45 ‹Lilith› Neveeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr!
12/03/2008 04:01:55 ‹Lilith› Or you could spoil us with other juicy details...:)
12/03/2008 04:02:02 ‹Blazej› Five +18 attack rolls with near max damage = dead dwarf!
12/03/2008 04:02:17 * Watcher points at Lilith, how can James resist that pout?
12/03/2008 04:02:25 * Lilith pouts...
12/03/2008 04:02:26 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Tell us more about the abyssal lord equialents that tyour drow are into!
12/03/2008 04:02:27 ‹Lilith› :(
12/03/2008 04:02:29 ‹James Jacobs› Lori> There are usually one or two brainstorming sessions a week here.
12/03/2008 04:02:31 * Majuba listens up for AP4 hints...
12/03/2008 04:02:37 ‹Mr Baron› any rough ideas?
12/03/2008 04:02:48 ‹Blazej› Are there any monsters in it? :P
12/03/2008 04:02:58 ‹Lori B› I'm a junkie for DVD bonus info:  any fun stories from those sessions?
12/03/2008 04:03:22 ‹Watcher› lol "Ap4 will feature monsters and some treasure"
12/03/2008 04:03:28 ‹James Jacobs› I'll tell you what, though. Next Tuesday, I'll spoil something about AP4. That gives me and Wes an ENTIRE WEEK to get something down in stone about it.
12/03/2008 04:03:30 ‹Blazej› Good.  Thats all I needed to know.
12/03/2008 04:03:33 * Blazej quit
12/03/2008 04:03:37 ‹Watcher› okay
12/03/2008 04:03:37 ‹Pygon› woot
12/03/2008 04:03:41 * Blazej joins Main
12/03/2008 04:03:45 ‹Watcher› whoohoo
12/03/2008 04:03:51 ‹Blazej› :)
12/03/2008 04:03:55 ‹James Jacobs› Charles> Demon lords that drow worship... at this point, they have a group of 12 demon lords that they're really into.
12/03/2008 04:03:55 ‹Mr Baron› sounds good  :)
12/03/2008 04:03:57 ‹Pygon› How about in AP3 - have you decided on the final character level?
12/03/2008 04:04:09 ‹Charles Evans› jAMES jACOBS: yOU TOLD US THAT LAST WEEK!
12/03/2008 04:04:16 ‹Charles Evans› Sorry, caps locked.
12/03/2008 04:04:16 ‹Mr Baron› have we already discussed deamons
12/03/2008 04:04:28 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: You even named seven for s..
12/03/2008 04:04:36 ‹James Jacobs› AP3's final character level is looking like it'll probably be 15. We'll probably be following Runelords' model there.
12/03/2008 04:04:41 ‹James Jacobs› I named six, I thought...
12/03/2008 04:04:46 ‹Pygon› sounds good
12/03/2008 04:04:46 ‹Takasi› broad question
12/03/2008 04:04:48 ‹Charles Evans› seven...
12/03/2008 04:04:53 ‹Charles Evans› You threw in a bonus one.
12/03/2008 04:05:02 ‹Takasi› it seems like PF 1 was relatively nomadic
12/03/2008 04:05:07 ‹Takasi› PF 2 is static
12/03/2008 04:05:08 ‹Charles Evans› I could show you if the transcript was up...
12/03/2008 04:05:13 ‹Takasi› sounds like AP 3 is nomadic
12/03/2008 04:05:23 ‹Takasi› can you give us that spoiler for AP4?
12/03/2008 04:05:24 ‹James Jacobs› Baphomet, Fraz-Urb'luu, Nocticula, Socothbenoth, Abraxus, and... someone else...
12/03/2008 04:05:33 ‹Takasi› you said that one might be very localized, so more static?
12/03/2008 04:05:35 ‹Watcher› James Jacobs, we still going to have some bonus Aboleth action in our Drow dominated AP3?
12/03/2008 04:05:36 ‹Blazej› Now?
12/03/2008 04:05:38 ‹James Jacobs› I believe I promised 5 names and then gave six.
12/03/2008 04:05:40 ‹Pygon› I'll see if I can find it
12/03/2008 04:05:51 ‹James Jacobs› There will be an aboleth in AP3. At least one.
12/03/2008 04:06:17 ‹James Jacobs› I've got my big notebook here of all my secret plans and thoughts... it has the demon list in it... where did I put it...
12/03/2008 04:06:25 ‹Pygon› From 03/05: "‹James Jacobs› 5 of the 12 demon lords of Golarion commonly worshiped by drow: Abraxus, Haagenti, Socothbenoth, Nocticula, Baphomet, and Fraz-Urb'luu."
12/03/2008 04:06:28 * Watcher is still searching for a copy of Lords of Madness. Maybe have to roder one from Pazio
12/03/2008 04:06:30 ‹James Jacobs› HA! Yeah, Haagenti.
12/03/2008 04:06:33 * Majuba steals said notebook
12/03/2008 04:06:38 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Sidetreks adventures in Pathfinder...who will they be written by? The main adventure's author, or someone else?
12/03/2008 04:07:02 ‹Charles Evans› Gah. Okay. It was only six, but you said five... I remembered the bonus one, anyway...
12/03/2008 04:07:12 ‹Takasi› open call for sidetreks?
12/03/2008 04:07:13 ‹Charles Evans› (that there was a bonus one)
12/03/2008 04:07:14 ‹James Jacobs› AP3 is relatively nomadic, yeah. You start in Riddleport and by the end you're visiting the elf nation of Kyonin, which is farther away from Sandpoint than ever before.
12/03/2008 04:07:41 ‹Pygon› is it a one-way journey, or are locations revisted by the characters?
12/03/2008 04:07:43 ‹Takasi› and AP 2 is static for at least the first 10 levels or so, right?
12/03/2008 04:07:48 ‹Pygon› *revisited
12/03/2008 04:08:03 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Regarding other runelords the thought occured to me that Alaznist might have turned herself into some sort of intelligent weapon??
12/03/2008 04:08:28 ‹James Jacobs› With the exception of Pathfinder #16 (Wes is writing that adventure, and also writing the side quest to nail down a format we can show to authors)... I'd REALLY like to have all the side quest adventures written by new authors. PREFERABLY authors who've never been published in Pathifnder.
12/03/2008 04:08:48 ‹James Jacobs› We'll be doing open calls for the side quests, yes.
12/03/2008 04:08:51 ‹Rambling Scribe› :w00t:
12/03/2008 04:08:56 ‹Watcher› Sounds good James, but is there a special reason why?
12/03/2008 04:09:00 ‹Lilith› Woo-hoo!
12/03/2008 04:09:04 ‹Rambling Scribe› (That's me holding my hand up!)
12/03/2008 04:09:08 ‹Daigle› Yay!
12/03/2008 04:09:13 * Takasi still doesn't like the side quests...
12/03/2008 04:09:15 ‹James Jacobs› AP2 is static until around level 9 or 10, yeah. Stays in Korvosa, then leaves for 5 levels or so, then back to Korvosa for the finalle.
12/03/2008 04:09:35 ‹Lori B› I am looking forward to the urban adventure path.
12/03/2008 04:09:38 ‹James Jacobs› Pygon> it's mostly a one-way journey. You start in Riddleport in Second Darkness, but don't return.
12/03/2008 04:09:42 ‹Lilith› Lori B: Me too! :D
12/03/2008 04:10:02 ‹Lori B› Time to develop NPCs for my group
12/03/2008 04:10:23 ‹Watcher› My players can hardly wait to finish Runelords in favor of Crimson Throne
12/03/2008 04:10:26 ‹James Jacobs› Charles> Alaznist didn't turn herself into a weapon, nope. Interesting idea, though.
12/03/2008 04:10:26 ‹Lori B› *it will give me time to develop the NPC's.
12/03/2008 04:10:54 ‹James Jacobs› I've kinda figured in my head what all six of the other Runelords did. We've only revealed the fates of 2 so far, though. A third will be revealed by the end of Crimson Throne.
12/03/2008 04:11:19 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Neat!
12/03/2008 04:11:27 ‹James Jacobs› Watcher> Too many questions! I got confused! Were you asking if there was a special reason why I wanted new authors for the side quests?
12/03/2008 04:11:28 ‹Takasi› Kaiju?
12/03/2008 04:11:34 ‹Charles Evans› James JAcobs: Not permenantly, I was thinking but as a sort of hibernation, from which she later reincarnates herself.. I thought of it when i saw how the leadership in the halls of Wrath in PF #5 changed hands... But you officially nix the idea.
12/03/2008 04:11:40 ‹Mr Baron› a third runlord..excellent  :0
12/03/2008 04:12:00 ‹Majuba› JJ: Who's the second runelord we know the fate of?
12/03/2008 04:12:04 ‹Mothman› The runlord of sprinting
12/03/2008 04:12:10 ‹Takasi› James Jacobs, any info on astrology in Golarion?
12/03/2008 04:12:12 ‹James Jacobs› There are Kaiju in Golarion. Two of them will be statted up, I suspect, by the end of Crimson Throne.
12/03/2008 04:12:13 ‹Watcher› James Jacobs, that's right! I guess it's an obvious question though, if you just want to cultivate new talent among your writing pool
12/03/2008 04:12:22 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: I'm imagining that the Runelord of Lust's fate will be xposed, since you mention that a pool with strong ties to her gets a visit.
12/03/2008 04:12:26 ‹James Jacobs› Info on the stars and astrology and the like will be in Pathfinder 14, it looks like.
12/03/2008 04:12:26 ‹Takasi› I have a player who is a Zallera's 'rival', but tells fortunes from astrology instead of harrow
12/03/2008 04:12:34 ‹Lilith› Kaiju! RAWR!
12/03/2008 04:12:35 ‹James Jacobs› Charles> yup. She'll be exposed, all right.
12/03/2008 04:12:47 * Lilith godzilla-stomps around the room...*STOMP STOMP STOMP*
12/03/2008 04:12:50 ‹Charles Evans› OOPs.  Unfortunate choice of words perhaps...
12/03/2008 04:12:50 ‹Blazej› :rimshot:
12/03/2008 04:12:52 ‹Rambling Scribe› Runelord of Lust: XXXposed.
12/03/2008 04:13:00 ‹Lilith› :P
12/03/2008 04:13:01 * Daigle laughs
12/03/2008 04:13:23 ‹James Jacobs› Majuba> Zutha; he turned himself into the Gluttonous Tome (revealed in the download for PF 5).
12/03/2008 04:13:30 ‹Blazej› Ah.
12/03/2008 04:13:46 ‹Charles Evans› It would be nice to have a rune-lord actually get away for once, and rnning around Golarion, taking a vacation before they start scheming for a new empire.
12/03/2008 04:13:49 ‹Pygon› can't wait to see the blog on that one. 5318008 !!!
12/03/2008 04:13:55 ‹Majuba› Ah, tkx
12/03/2008 04:14:07 ‹Blazej› Nice.
12/03/2008 04:14:15 ‹Blazej› Subtle.
12/03/2008 04:14:19 ‹James Jacobs› Watcher> yeah. I want to find new authors. I want to train existing authors on writing adventures. Both reasons. At one point when I started working here, Nick Logue and Rich Pett and Greg Vaughan were all, essentially, unpublished. I need to discover more of them.
12/03/2008 04:14:51 ‹Watcher› An exciting time for those with aspirations of trying their hand at it
12/03/2008 04:15:24 ‹Watcher› I am sure that alone will generate extra excitement about that particular path
12/03/2008 04:15:30 ‹Lilith› Watcher: Indeed!
12/03/2008 04:15:32 ‹James Jacobs› Runelord of Lust is already XXXpsosed, sort of, on page 77 of Pathfinder 1, actually... 
04:15:48 * Rambling Scribe goes to look.
12/03/2008 04:15:51 ‹Charles Evans› The cunken ruins?
12/03/2008 04:15:53 ‹James Jacobs› Charles> Who says that a runelord HASN'T escaped yet?
12/03/2008 04:15:55 ‹Charles Evans› Sunken
12/03/2008 04:15:59 ‹Watcher› The lady on the puramid
12/03/2008 04:16:06 ‹James Jacobs› Yup
12/03/2008 04:16:32 ‹Charles Evans› A runelord *has* escaped and is running around on holiday! :w00t::w00t:
12/03/2008 04:16:32 ‹Blazej› :dramatic music:
12/03/2008 04:16:46 ‹Blazej› Not sloth then.
12/03/2008 04:16:47 ‹Takasi› James Jacobs, which characters would be more difficult to 'remove' from PF 7, which ones are strong reoccuring characters?
12/03/2008 04:16:58 ‹James Jacobs› A lot can happen in 10,000 years, is all I can say for now...
12/03/2008 04:17:10 ‹Takasi› how was 10,000 BC, btw?
12/03/2008 04:17:24 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi: Great question. I should really put in sidebars about which NPCs are scheduled to be recurring.
12/03/2008 04:17:25 ‹James Jacobs› OMG
12/03/2008 04:17:26 ‹Takasi› Godzilla vs 10,000 BC?
12/03/2008 04:17:27 ‹Charles Evans› I vote for the evoker, Alaznist (runelord of wrath) - Just to annoy Karzoug!
12/03/2008 04:17:38 ‹Blazej› OMG?
12/03/2008 04:17:45 ‹Blazej› Good OMG or bad OMG.
12/03/2008 04:17:47 ‹Blazej› ?
12/03/2008 04:17:50 ‹Blazej› ?!
12/03/2008 04:18:01 * Majuba listens.
12/03/2008 04:18:04 ‹James Jacobs› 10,000 BC was better than Godzilla. BUT. 10,000 BC was probably the next-worse movie the guy did. It's easily the worst movie I'll see this year, I guarantee.
12/03/2008 04:18:05 ‹Blazej› ?!/0
12/03/2008 04:18:09 ‹James Jacobs› Terrible movie.
12/03/2008 04:18:13 ‹Watcher› James Jacobs, I wanted to compliment you on CotCT's start..  I was really impressed with Runelords, but you guys have kicked up the production quality of the new AP a whole new level
12/03/2008 04:18:16 ‹James Jacobs› Boring movie.
12/03/2008 04:18:24 ‹Takasi› Worse than the Day After Tomorrow?
12/03/2008 04:18:25 ‹James Jacobs› I say more nice things about it on my blog.
12/03/2008 04:18:27 ‹James Jacobs› Worse.
12/03/2008 04:18:58 ‹Rambling Scribe› JJ> I was watching Buffy the other night, and two characters were talking about the Godzilla movie. I thought of you.
12/03/2008 04:19:01 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: What Watcher said, I'd like to second. I really like the look and feel of it, and the new font kicks some serious ass.
12/03/2008 04:19:07 ‹Takasi› the production quality in AP 4 is better IMO, but I have some issues with the adventure but I'll save those for a post
12/03/2008 04:19:12 ‹Lilith› And the art! :D
12/03/2008 04:19:22 ‹Takasi› AP 2 that is, sorry
12/03/2008 04:19:22 ‹Watcher› And the inside covers!
12/03/2008 04:19:30 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Will we ever see the stat block for the Oliphaunt of Janderlay?
12/03/2008 04:19:31 ‹James Jacobs› And thanks for the compliment about the art, Watcher! It just goes to show you that taking more than a month to set up the look works a lot better than taking about a week (which is what Sarah had to set up Pathfinder 1).
12/03/2008 04:19:34 ‹Lilith› Oh yes!
12/03/2008 04:19:42 ‹Mothman› Scribe: Which episode of Buffy?
12/03/2008 04:19:48 * Mr Baron quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 04:19:55 ‹Rambling Scribe› Near the end of season 7
12/03/2008 04:19:56 ‹James Jacobs› The new font is great. It's also run at a smaller size than the old font.
12/03/2008 04:20:12 ‹Watcher› Sarah is doing a fine job
12/03/2008 04:20:27 ‹Watcher› Well, I need to split.. night everybody!
12/03/2008 04:20:35 ‹James Jacobs› ANYWAY: The characters that are recurring characters in Edge of Anarchy are:
12/03/2008 04:20:37 ‹Lilith› Night Watcher! :thug:
12/03/2008 04:20:37 ‹Charles Evans› Goodnight Watcher.
12/03/2008 04:20:43 * Pygon plugs ears
12/03/2008 04:20:43 ‹Takasi› James Jacobs, I have a question from Stegger
12/03/2008 04:20:48 * Lilith takes notes...
12/03/2008 04:20:53 ‹James Jacobs› (eventually, yeah, there'll be an Oliphaunt stat block)
12/03/2008 04:20:57 ‹Takasi› he wants to know if you can offer signed copies of the Campaign hardcover online
12/03/2008 04:21:12 ‹Takasi› he is from Germany I think and can't make it to any cons to get it signed
12/03/2008 04:21:44 * Watcher quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 04:21:44 ‹Rambling Scribe› Mothman: "Lies my Parent Told Me" or "Dirty Girls." Not sure which it was.
12/03/2008 04:22:28 ‹James Jacobs› Cressida Kroft, Grau Soldado, Sabina Merrin, Queen Ileosa Arabasti, Vencarlo Orisini, Trinia Sabor, Thousand Bones, and Rolth.
12/03/2008 04:22:49 ‹Majuba› ahh, can't read
12/03/2008 04:22:55 ‹James Jacobs› I'm not sure what our plans are regarding signed copies of Paizo stuff.
12/03/2008 04:22:58 * Majuba quit
12/03/2008 04:23:09 * Majuba joins Main
12/03/2008 04:23:16 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Quick question.  Oliphaunt vs Tarrasque.  Which would win?
12/03/2008 04:23:28 ‹James Jacobs› AND THEN A TANK DRIVES THROUGH KORVOSA AND BLOWS UP THE TEMPLE OF ASMODEUS!
12/03/2008 04:23:29 ‹Lilith› Charles Evans: Or are they the same....;)
12/03/2008 04:23:44 ‹Charles Evans› Lilith: Not from the artwork in PF #5.
12/03/2008 04:23:48 ‹Pygon› I think a train would be better.
12/03/2008 04:23:52 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: DRIVEN BY THE HOLY ORDER OF THE DIVINE LIGHT, CHAMPIONS OF IOMEDAE!
12/03/2008 04:24:06 ‹James Jacobs› Hmmm. Not sure, there... probably the Oliphaunt. Which means we need to build a bigger Tarrasque.
12/03/2008 04:24:15 ‹Lilith› Charles Evans: Not the traditional depiction of the tarrasque...but it's a thought.
12/03/2008 04:24:19 * Majuba quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 04:24:38 ‹Rookseye› He certainly looks meaner!
12/03/2008 04:24:39 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Why do you need a bigger tarrasque?
12/03/2008 04:24:50 ‹James Jacobs› The Oliphaunt isn't the tarrasque. They're different Kaiju.
12/03/2008 04:25:07 ‹Blazej› If I come in to the office can I get stuff signed :D
12/03/2008 04:25:10 ‹James Jacobs› Because there's always at least one smart aleky fan out there who thinks MONSTER X isn't tough enough.
12/03/2008 04:25:17 ‹Mothman› Scribe: Cool. I miss Buffy...
12/03/2008 04:25:22 ‹Charles Evans› The Tarrasque could be the little guy of Golarion's heavy-hitters.
12/03/2008 04:25:23 ‹Rookseye› The fellow in his eyeline looks like he got eaten like an Altoid a few minutes later
12/03/2008 04:25:26 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: If I put King Eodred in yellow robes, will I at least get a giggle out of some people in the office? :P
12/03/2008 04:25:39 ‹James Jacobs› If there's one thing I learned from working on Fiendish Codex I, it's that. Orcus can NEVER be high enough CR.
12/03/2008 04:25:49 ‹James Jacobs› And he can ALWAYS be too low of a CR.
12/03/2008 04:25:56 ‹Charles Evans› But OLIPHAUNTS are in TOLKIEN!!!
12/03/2008 04:26:13 ‹Charles Evans› So it makes sense that they can kick tarrasque butt.
12/03/2008 04:26:21 ‹James Jacobs› Not the Oliphaunt of Jandelay. That guy's something else entirely.
12/03/2008 04:26:22 ‹Rambling Scribe› Mothman: I just watched them for the first time this past 6 months. or so. I'm almost done season 7. Three episodes left.
12/03/2008 04:26:23 ‹Charles Evans› (or at least the Golarion version)
12/03/2008 04:26:42 ‹James Jacobs› Lilith> Probably.
12/03/2008 04:26:52 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Cool. :P
12/03/2008 04:26:53 ‹Lori B› I have to sign off.  Thanks for the Arkham tips, Charles.  Keep up the great work, James!
12/03/2008 04:27:01 ‹James Jacobs› Seeya, Lori!
12/03/2008 04:27:02 ‹Lilith› Hugs Lori B! :thug:
12/03/2008 04:27:04 ‹Charles Evans› Goodnigth Lori B.
12/03/2008 04:27:11 ‹Daigle› Night!
12/03/2008 04:27:13 ‹Blazej› Night!
12/03/2008 04:27:17 ‹Rookseye› bye
12/03/2008 04:27:18 ‹Daigle› jinx
12/03/2008 04:27:21 ‹James Jacobs› Wait. Arkham? DID I MISS LOVECRAFT CHATS? NOOOOOOOoooooo
12/03/2008 04:27:23 ‹Blazej› Darn it!
12/03/2008 04:27:37 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: They were talking about the board game...which I haven't played!
12/03/2008 04:27:41 ‹Lilith› I must remedy this!
12/03/2008 04:27:48 ‹Rambling Scribe› Me too.
12/03/2008 04:27:51 ‹Rookseye› It's lots of fun
12/03/2008 04:28:13 * Charles Evans wonders when FFG are going to start sending him complimentary producst fr the freebie promotions that he seems to be doing....
12/03/2008 04:28:27 ‹James Jacobs› Ah. That board game is fun!
12/03/2008 04:28:36 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Can you bring it to PaizoCon? :P
12/03/2008 04:28:43 ‹Takasi› James Jacobs, sorry for doubting the Harrow
12/03/2008 04:28:43 ‹James Jacobs› Probably.
12/03/2008 04:28:48 ‹Takasi› the cards are very cool
12/03/2008 04:28:50 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Do you have all the expansions yet?
12/03/2008 04:28:50 ‹James Jacobs› Oh yeah?
12/03/2008 04:28:54 ‹Takasi› and the concept is very neat
12/03/2008 04:28:57 ‹James Jacobs› Yay! That makes me happy, Takasi!
12/03/2008 04:28:59 ‹James Jacobs› :)
12/03/2008 04:29:10 ‹James Jacobs› Charles> Nope; just the main game.
12/03/2008 04:29:13 ‹Takasi› in fact, I posted a thread where I've decided to switch from dice to cards for Crimson Throne
12/03/2008 04:29:31 ‹James Jacobs› I'm really happy with how Harrow turned out. It ended up looking better than I'd even hoped. It looks incredible.
12/03/2008 04:29:36 ‹Rookseye› Are the expansions worth picking up Charles? I mean, do they add a lot as far as gameplay?
12/03/2008 04:29:38 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Go out there and pruchase those expansions!!!
12/03/2008 04:29:44 ‹Rambling Scribe› I'm very anxious to get my Harrow deck. I changed my shipping schedule to get it sooner, but it's still pending!
12/03/2008 04:29:49 ‹Charles Evans› Rookseye/James Jacobs... Yes.
12/03/2008 04:30:00 ‹Charles Evans› At least the ones which i have seen.
12/03/2008 04:30:04 ‹Takasi› will we see a Crimson Throne item deck?
12/03/2008 04:30:11 ‹Takasi› or did the RotRL one not sell as well?
12/03/2008 04:30:12 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: LOVE the Harrow deck. Looking forward to working the cards at PaizoCon! :)
12/03/2008 04:30:27 * Lori B quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 04:30:33 ‹Takasi› Lilith, can you make us some Spicy Chickpea Simmer? :D
12/03/2008 04:30:39 ‹James Jacobs› Yes. There will be a Crimson Throne item deck. The Runelord deck sold VERY well.
12/03/2008 04:30:43 ‹Lilith› Takasi: Yes. :D
12/03/2008 04:31:04 ‹James Jacobs› Good to hear! There's just so much in the art on the harrow cards that makes for great stories.
12/03/2008 04:31:20 ‹Charles Evans› Curse of the Dark Pharaoh adds relics, and three other world cards which equal fights with Ancient ones, Dunwich Horror makes gates a nightmare (and adds fun monsters), and King in Yellow makes the terror level something to be truly scared of.
12/03/2008 04:31:22 ‹Daigle› I can't wait to get mine
12/03/2008 04:31:26 ‹Majuba› Runelord deck rocked - thinking of getting another - and tell the warehouse guys thanks for the extra booster pack each big shipment! :)
12/03/2008 04:31:37 ‹Daigle› It's gonna be a big box this month
12/03/2008 04:31:37 ‹Charles Evans› I have yet to see Kingsport Dreams...
12/03/2008 04:31:50 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: You could create entire adventures around the Deck. Gaedren Lamm's Harrowing didn't go so well for him. http://paizo.com/paizo/message...poilers
12/03/2008 04:31:51 ‹Rookseye› Now I wish I had used my Green Ronin discount on Dunwich Horror, crud
12/03/2008 04:31:56 ‹James Jacobs› Plus, Kyle did some stuff in there that we weren't expecting. Like putting in a lamia matriarch. Or throwing in some goblins. Good stuff.
12/03/2008 04:32:14 ‹Lilith› I liked the goblins! It was very fitting. :) And The Dancer.
12/03/2008 04:32:18 ‹Takasi› I'm going to change the Lamm encounter to involve a game of Towers with him
12/03/2008 04:32:21 ‹Lilith› The Mute Hag is great. :)
12/03/2008 04:32:33 ‹Rambling Scribe› I just got a big shipment from Paizo today. It was my Green Ronin discount order. With a bonus booster of item cards!
12/03/2008 04:32:43 ‹Majuba› ditto Rambling :)
12/03/2008 04:32:55 ‹Lilith› Rambling Scribe: Got that too in my shipment of Paizo goodies. :)
12/03/2008 04:33:20 ‹James Jacobs› Cool; another great place for Towers is at Eel's End.
12/03/2008 04:33:22 ‹deClench› I really like Kyle's art. I'd love to see him do more Paizo material.
12/03/2008 04:33:24 ‹Majuba› Pathfinder Wiki needs to match up item cards with treasure items
12/03/2008 04:33:49 ‹Takasi› I just felt like the party shouldn't fight Lamm right from the get go
12/03/2008 04:33:56 ‹Hill Giant› JJ: How specific were the art orders for the cards?
12/03/2008 04:34:05 ‹James Jacobs› They weren't specific at all.
12/03/2008 04:34:07 ‹Majuba› I like Kyle's art where it has been used to date (intro and such - and harrow looks good)
12/03/2008 04:34:09 ‹Takasi› players are very stoked about this guy from the Player's guide, building backstories around him and then 'bait and switch'
12/03/2008 04:34:15 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Was the question answered on the Pathfinder #5 DM reference thread of when exactly the battle with the Abjurers took place?  There seemed to be two different versions.
12/03/2008 04:34:17 ‹Takasi› "OK, he's dead.  Now what?"
12/03/2008 04:34:30 ‹Hill Giant› You just let Kyle run free?
12/03/2008 04:34:42 ‹James Jacobs› We basically came up with the names for the cards with Kyle's help and let him run rampant, more or less. James Davis worked with him to refine some of the cards and make changes here and there, but for the most part, the images are 100% Kyle.
12/03/2008 04:35:16 ‹Majuba› I got Downer #1 on accident, and was impressed.
12/03/2008 04:35:16 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: I think my favorite part of the Harrow Deck is that the cards are symbolically/thematically appropriate - I rarely need to reference the book (and I just got this yesterday)
12/03/2008 04:35:25 ‹Hill Giant› Cool. The symbolism on the card we've seen is great
12/03/2008 04:35:58 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah; that's another great thing about the cards. They really work well for off-the-cuff readings.
12/03/2008 04:36:05 ‹Majuba› The 9-align X 6-stats = 54 cards was brilliant btw
12/03/2008 04:36:27 ‹James Jacobs› Which was a load off my mind, because that let us not spend 50 pages in Pathfinder talking about how to run the first encounter.
12/03/2008 04:36:42 * Lilith ponders playing with different Harrow layouts.
12/03/2008 04:36:50 ‹James Jacobs› Thanks, Majuba! I think that setup was my idea... hard to remember who came up with what in those crazy Harrow meetings.
12/03/2008 04:37:04 ‹Takasi› I have to say though James that it does not seem very 'beginner friendly'
12/03/2008 04:37:17 ‹James Jacobs› It's not really supposed to be beginner friendly.
12/03/2008 04:37:27 * Russ joins Main
12/03/2008 04:37:28 ‹James Jacobs› Other products already do a much better job at that than us.
12/03/2008 04:37:40 ‹Russ› Strike a blow for Korvosa, brothers!
12/03/2008 04:37:41 ‹Rookseye› Pokemon?
12/03/2008 04:37:44 ‹Takasi› ok, just saying, most of your other APs do come off that way in the first adventure
12/03/2008 04:37:49 ‹Takasi› this one's much more involved
12/03/2008 04:37:52 ‹Russ› Thumbs up for the new layout, even though I found the old one readable. This one is prettier.
12/03/2008 04:37:52 ‹James Jacobs› It is.
12/03/2008 04:38:05 ‹James Jacobs› It's a much more complex adventure. It's not a dungeon crawl, for one thing.
12/03/2008 04:38:13 ‹Takasi› yes and no, I have some issues with it
12/03/2008 04:38:27 ‹Takasi› the fish factory then the meat factory
12/03/2008 04:38:32 ‹Takasi› and the layout of the fish factory
12/03/2008 04:38:35 * Charles Evans frowns about shipping times to the UK....
12/03/2008 04:38:41 ‹Takasi› the map, and way to get to the bottom level through the ship
12/03/2008 04:38:42 ‹Charles Evans› :-?
12/03/2008 04:38:50 ‹James Jacobs› I do worry a bit that it's a bit overly complex; especially the fact that, for the first three adventures at least, things don't necessarily have to run in the order they're printed.
12/03/2008 04:39:10 ‹Charles Evans› That sounds very good.
12/03/2008 04:39:15 ‹Takasi› it seems a bit railroady too
12/03/2008 04:39:49 ‹Charles Evans› If it's non sequential, then that sounds less than railroady to me...
12/03/2008 04:39:51 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> Yeah, the maps aren't totally perfect. They're pretty good, I think, thoguh, considering we basically had to shut down the editorial pit for a day and each of us basically drew one up.
12/03/2008 04:40:02 ‹James Jacobs› It's railroady because it's an adventure.
12/03/2008 04:40:13 ‹James Jacobs› If it weren't railroady, it'd be a sourcebook. Like "Guide to Korvosa."
12/03/2008 04:40:25 ‹Lilith› Which is cool, by the way.
12/03/2008 04:40:32 ‹Takasi› no, the events are a little too interdependent
12/03/2008 04:40:32 ‹James Jacobs› Which is an invaluable resource if your players tend to want to go off and do their own thing.
12/03/2008 04:40:39 ‹Takasi› for example, the first one you get the brooch
12/03/2008 04:40:58 * Gemma joins Main
12/03/2008 04:40:58 ‹Takasi› you almost have to present them to the queen during the riot
12/03/2008 04:41:06 ‹James Jacobs› Nah.
12/03/2008 04:41:13 ‹James Jacobs› You can time that for whenever you want.
12/03/2008 04:41:19 ‹Takasi› and the assumption that the king dies right after you come out of Lamm's
12/03/2008 04:41:24 ‹James Jacobs› The idea is that riots rise and fall like tides during the whole thing.
12/03/2008 04:41:26 ‹Takasi› no, I think if players found the queen's brooch
12/03/2008 04:41:36 ‹Takasi› that must trigger the king's death
12/03/2008 04:41:44 ‹James Jacobs› The king actually dies at some point when you're in there, fighting Lamm.
12/03/2008 04:42:09 ‹Takasi› right, which is a very interdependent timeline
12/03/2008 04:42:31 ‹James Jacobs› And since we can't assume that PCs are even going to finish Lamm's fishery in one attempt... we HAVE to keep the timing for the king kinda vague like that.
12/03/2008 04:42:58 ‹Rookseye› James> Can you reveal any hints about the forthcoming Last Baron adventures?
12/03/2008 04:43:10 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Who's the author of Last Baron?
12/03/2008 04:43:35 ‹James Jacobs› Anyway... yeah. Crimson Throne's easilly the most complex adventure path we've tried yet. The others were all pretty "safe" in that they were, in large part, very standard. Savage Tide started to break the mold a bit, though.
12/03/2008 04:43:38 ‹Takasi› tying the finding of the brooch to the king's death was a little weak, just my reaction
12/03/2008 04:44:29 * Charles Evans wonders if, given Steve Greer is NOT Crimson Throne, he is Last Baron?
12/03/2008 04:45:04 ‹Charles Evans› The author of?
12/03/2008 04:45:06 ‹James Jacobs› Finding the brooch isn't tied to his death, though. If the PCs don't find the brooch at all, he still dies. The GM just has to come up with another way to get the PCs to meet Ileosa, if he wants to foreshadow her and Sabina at the outset.
12/03/2008 04:45:43 ‹Charles Evans› brooch=scrying focus/locate object= problems later?
12/03/2008 04:45:48 ‹Takasi› I just don't like that they have to kill Lamm and then immediately the city goes to shit
12/03/2008 04:45:50 ‹James Jacobs› I can't reveal much about the Last Baron adventures. I barely know anything about them, apart from naming the second adventure path (I stole "Treasure of Chimera Cove" from myself!)
12/03/2008 04:46:15 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Any chance the Witch Queen from Carnival of Tears will show up again?
12/03/2008 04:46:20 ‹James Jacobs› I don't know who the author is.
12/03/2008 04:46:26 ‹Takasi› especially when Lamm is presented in the player's guide as the BBEG that ties the group together, with no time to explore the city
12/03/2008 04:46:40 ‹Rookseye› ...or more on the Whispering Tyrant showing up in Guide to Darkmoon Vale?
12/03/2008 04:46:45 ‹Takasi› you meet with the harrower, get exact directions to kill Lamm right from the get go
12/03/2008 04:46:56 ‹Takasi› it seems like there's no time to explore and enjoy the city before it goes to hell
12/03/2008 04:47:32 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: If the Queen gets her brooch back, might players using locate object (or the like) on it later on become a problem?
12/03/2008 04:47:34 ‹James Jacobs› Best solution there is to start the PCs early, give them a chance to explore the city and get used to it and then have the fight with Gaedren happen at the end of htat first adventure, I guess. That wasn't the adventure Nick wrote, though.
12/03/2008 04:48:13 ‹Takasi› if you ran the adventure as written, the PCs could build a nice backstory to find and kill Lamm as a long term goal, then they accomplish that in the first session and say 'Ok, we're done.  Let's leave the city has gone to hell.'
12/03/2008 04:48:18 ‹Russ› Takasi - you might be able to address that by lengthening the timeline
12/03/2008 04:48:23 ‹James Jacobs› Lilith> I can't really answer that witch queen question either. I still haven't had time really to read any of the modules, alas!
12/03/2008 04:48:24 ‹Charles Evans› (further down the path)
12/03/2008 04:49:08 ‹Takasi› but I like the PCs coming together and starting the path using the Harrow
12/03/2008 04:49:22 * cpt_kirstov joins Main
12/03/2008 04:49:29 ‹James Jacobs› Takasi> That's true... but it sounds like you're just looking for excuses to rant against adventures VS. sandbox play. I'm not interested in getting into that argument with you again. If a group of players doesn't want to play a prewritten adventure and wants to "go their own way," then Guide to Korvosa's the better purchase for the GM.
12/03/2008 04:49:34 ‹Takasi› but the Harrow triggers a series of events that have a tight timeline
12/03/2008 04:50:09 ‹James Jacobs› As for using the brooch to scry or locate objects... nah. She likes having the thing back, but she basically puts it on a shelf in some random room in the castle and forgets about it pretty much immediatley.
12/03/2008 04:50:11 ‹Takasi› ok
12/03/2008 04:50:13 * Lilith finishes adding Carnival of Tears stuff to DM Tools
12/03/2008 04:50:22 ‹Takasi› :-#
12/03/2008 04:50:27 ‹James Jacobs› HA! :)
12/03/2008 04:50:39 ‹Takasi› :D
12/03/2008 04:51:10 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Will we see more of Golarion goblins?
12/03/2008 04:51:10 ‹Rookseye› OK folks, getting late here, thanks for the chat, and thanks for being so accomodating with the questions, James! 
04:51:16 ‹Lilith› Is there a Pathfinder Chronicles/Companion product you're especially looking forward to James Jacobs?
12/03/2008 04:51:20 ‹Russ› I prefer a railroad myself. Not big on running something other than what I prepped for a group.
12/03/2008 04:51:24 ‹Charles Evans› Goodnight Rookseye... :cthulhu:!:D
12/03/2008 04:51:36 ‹James Jacobs› Presenting an adventure pretty much means focusing ONLY on the parts of things that relate directly to the adventure. If I were running Crimson Throne, I'd probably lengthen things out just like you're saying, Takasi, but that's not something we have the luxury to get into in the scope of the adventure itself.
12/03/2008 04:51:36 ‹Rookseye› fthagn!
12/03/2008 04:51:47 ‹Charles Evans› :lol:
12/03/2008 04:52:09 * Luna joins Main
12/03/2008 04:52:17 ‹James Jacobs› There will be more goblins now and then, sure! They'll show up in Classic Monsters, for example. And I suspect they'll have something to do in "Shadow in the Sky" in Pathfinder #13.
12/03/2008 04:52:18 * Charles Evans waves to Luna....
12/03/2008 04:52:34 ‹Charles Evans› Goblins Vs were-rats!
12/03/2008 04:52:42 ‹James Jacobs› Lilith> All of them! But the one I'm looking forward to the most at this point is probably the hardcover
12/03/2008 04:52:44 ‹Luna› Hey guys!
12/03/2008 04:52:50 ‹James Jacobs› Or maybe Into the Darklands.
12/03/2008 04:52:52 ‹Daigle› Howdy Luna
12/03/2008 04:52:53 ‹James Jacobs› AhoY!
12/03/2008 04:52:56 ‹Charles Evans› Luna: How is the shop?
12/03/2008 04:53:01 ‹Luna› Lillith  :thugs:
12/03/2008 04:53:05 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Oh manomanomanoman...Wants the hardcover...!!
12/03/2008 04:53:06 ‹Luna› Shop?
12/03/2008 04:53:12 ‹Lilith› Luna! :squee: How's my namesake?
12/03/2008 04:53:21 ‹Takasi› in general, just looking for something a little more modular with more flexible timelines, it's possible, but if you did that I'd bitch about the AP not being cohesive enough :P
12/03/2008 04:53:22 ‹Charles Evans› Luna: Business?
12/03/2008 04:53:37 ‹Charles Evans› Luna: I thought Yasha was involved in something?
12/03/2008 04:53:42 ‹Luna› Good, just need to pickup her boy friend in San fran. next week and we should have babies
12/03/2008 04:53:50 * Rookseye quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 04:53:51 ‹Luna› oh reptiles
12/03/2008 04:53:51 ‹Lilith› Cool!
12/03/2008 04:54:12 * Takasi changes his/her nickname to Takasi prepping Burning Sky
12/03/2008 04:54:19 ‹Majuba› Takasi: can't recall, are you against the sidequests? (kinda modular there :)
12/03/2008 04:54:36 ‹Luna› there good Charles, lots of eggs on there way
12/03/2008 04:55:00 ‹James Jacobs› I would agree that all of our Adventure Paths are pretty GO GO GO, without a lot of inherent flexibility in the timelines. THAT SAID: they're also pretty popular that way, so I'm hesitant to mix things up TOO much.
12/03/2008 04:55:02 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Any word on Erik/Christine Schneider (RPG Superstar) blog?
12/03/2008 04:55:14 ‹Majuba› JJ: Seen the Fumble deck yet? - I've been very eagerly awaiting it
12/03/2008 04:55:24 ‹James Jacobs› Again... switching from Dungeon to Pathfinder kind of forced us to do a reset on the "Experimental Adventure Path" scene.
12/03/2008 04:55:30 ‹Charles Evans› Luna: Good news then. :)
12/03/2008 04:55:41 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› I have a couple of grognards in our group who blast the 'assumed' AP timeline of 1st to 20th in 6 months
12/03/2008 04:55:43 * Gemma quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 04:55:43 * Gemma quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 04:55:43 * Gemma quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 04:55:50 ‹Luna› Charles Evans,  yep all is well in our little reptile world
12/03/2008 04:56:09 ‹James Jacobs› The first adventure in Second Darkness, thoguh, will be pretty flexible on its timeline, I supsect. AND: It's something I very MUCH want to try to look into for AP4.
12/03/2008 04:56:12 ‹Luna› James Jacobs,  was it you who was looking into the lizards?
12/03/2008 04:56:15 ‹Takasi prepping Burning Sky› but they also don't like 4th edition, so piss on them :P
12/03/2008 04:56:16 ‹Russ› I think you need a tight timeline for the baseline GM. The advanced ones can monkey with it as needing. For example, for Age of Worms, I may drop in that time pocket that the Gord the Rogue books used to give the PCs some downtime
12/03/2008 04:56:46 ‹James Jacobs› No word yet on the RPG Superstar scene. Erik's actually at a show all week...
12/03/2008 04:56:52 ‹James Jacobs› So no news from him at all yet.
12/03/2008 04:56:53 ‹Luna› Takasi prepping Burning Sky,  lol, feel the same way
12/03/2008 04:57:20 ‹Russ› Hmm, Norwescon isn't it?
12/03/2008 04:57:36 * Blazej quit
12/03/2008 04:57:46 ‹James Jacobs› Grognards! Being one myself, I can understand their pain. Sort of.
12/03/2008 04:57:53 ‹James Jacobs› YES! LIZARDS!
12/03/2008 04:58:03 ‹Russ› I'm hoping Paizo experiments with slower advancement if they stay with 3.5E
12/03/2008 04:58:05 ‹Luna› James Jacobs,  did you get your book?
12/03/2008 04:58:08 ‹James Jacobs› I did!
12/03/2008 04:58:16 ‹Luna› How did you like it?
12/03/2008 04:58:21 ‹Russ› The levelling rate in 3rd (and apparently 4th) is way too fast for me. A level every two sessions means people don't get used to their abilities.
12/03/2008 04:58:30 ‹James Jacobs› Crested geckos are pretty nifty. And the big guys actually MAKE NOISE which is cool too. Great book!
12/03/2008 04:58:42 ‹cpt_kirstov› James Jacobs, any feelings on http://www.pathfinderwiki.com  (a consolidated version of the other wikis theat started and died)
12/03/2008 04:58:50 ‹James Jacobs› Alas, Haven't had much of a chance lately wiht getting Pathifnder caught up to do much more lizard prep... :(
12/03/2008 04:58:53 ‹Rambling Scribe› If Paizo stays 3.5, and releases their own SRD-based rules, they will need to create a new advancement system for it.
12/03/2008 04:59:10 ‹Lilith› Rambling Scribe: As the XP guide isn't in the SRD...:)
12/03/2008 04:59:17 ‹James Jacobs› Russ> I agree. Especially in levels 1-4. Levels go by WAY too fast.
12/03/2008 04:59:19 ‹Rambling Scribe› Exactly.
12/03/2008 04:59:34 ‹Luna› Cool, glad you like. The cresteds make noise as well, just not as much and mostly when wellll...having fun with a girl gecko. :squee:
12/03/2008 04:59:37 ‹Charles Evans› James Jacobs: Questions For US??
12/03/2008 04:59:39 ‹Rambling Scribe› So why not zig where 4E zags and make advancement slower.
12/03/2008 05:00:15 ‹Rambling Scribe› hypothetically, of course.
12/03/2008 05:00:38 ‹James Jacobs› Personally... I love seeing fan stuff like the wikis and fan art (especially fan art!!!) and the like. And as far as I know, as long as proper "paizo made some of this" notes are posted, and as long as they're not for profit... Paizo loves that stuff too! We just don't have the time or resources yet to get a proper fan-resourse area built...
12/03/2008 05:00:58 ‹James Jacobs› Gecko love! Awww.
12/03/2008 05:01:00 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Makes me a sad Lilith...:( :cry:
12/03/2008 05:01:15 ‹James Jacobs› BUT: We're working on it, Lilith!
12/03/2008 05:01:18 ‹James Jacobs› I promise!
12/03/2008 05:01:51 ‹James Jacobs› I can actually confirm that I saw, with my own two eyes, ART RESOURCES used on the problem!
12/03/2008 05:02:23 ‹Majuba› wow.. that is an incredibly sad emoticon
12/03/2008 05:02:25 ‹Lilith› Whoa!
12/03/2008 05:02:33 ‹Lilith› :squee:
12/03/2008 05:02:42 * Lilith might be inspired to do more fan work then...
12/03/2008 05:02:50 ‹Lilith› :D
12/03/2008 05:03:07 ‹Lilith› But my EiC for Oerth Journal has a stack of things for me to do...:plot:
12/03/2008 05:03:39 ‹Charles Evans› Lilith: You also now have a PbP to run...:)
12/03/2008 05:03:46 ‹Daigle› James, will there be any information on Janderhoff in the hardcover?
12/03/2008 05:03:56 ‹Lilith› Charles Evans: Running a game invariably leads to artwork. It's inevitable. :P
12/03/2008 05:04:33 ‹Charles Evans› Lilith: ut you have a backlog of artwork to put up you only said a week or two ago, when I was inquiring about maps...
12/03/2008 05:04:36 ‹Charles Evans› :)
12/03/2008 05:04:40 ‹Charles Evans› (b)ut
12/03/2008 05:04:40 ‹James Jacobs› Daigle: Yes. There'll be information about Janderhoff in the Gazetteer as well.
12/03/2008 05:04:53 ‹Lilith› Charles Evans: Oh that's still there. :P
12/03/2008 05:05:12 ‹Majuba› yay Janderhoff!
12/03/2008 05:05:18 ‹Luna› I want to see some of Liliths fan work!
12/03/2008 05:05:19 ‹Charles Evans› Lilith: :shock: You mean that you queue-jump your own projects???
12/03/2008 05:05:25 ‹Daigle› Excellent.  It seems lots of people gravitated toward there for their dwarven character's backgrounds.  One of my players did the same thing.
12/03/2008 05:06:00 * Daigle isn't huge on dwarves, though.
12/03/2008 05:06:38 * Charles Evans sighs and wanders off to cllect his yellow hardhat and hammer.... he will be back....
12/03/2008 05:06:41 * Charles Evans quit
12/03/2008 05:06:42 ‹Majuba› Just suggested City Born (Janderhoff) as +2  Sense Motive
12/03/2008 05:06:45 ‹James Jacobs› Not surprising; it's the "dwarf" place we put into Varisia just for that purpose. Same with Sanos Forest for gnomes and Mierani for the elves. Halflings are kinda all over Varisia already...
12/03/2008 05:06:49 ‹Rambling Scribe› My dwarf in a short lived PbP was from there.
12/03/2008 05:06:51 ‹Lilith› Luna: http://darkmoongallery.com/det...?id=115 (NSFW)
12/03/2008 05:07:07 ‹James Jacobs› NAUGHTY! Well done!
12/03/2008 05:07:14 ‹Lilith› Luna: http://darkmoongallery.com/det...?id=114 (NSFW)
12/03/2008 05:07:19 ‹Lilith› OMG! Bewbs!
12/03/2008 05:07:21 ‹Lilith› :P
12/03/2008 05:08:07 * Lilith killed that chat...
12/03/2008 05:08:07 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah... I'm already preparing for the firestorm to be unleashed when Pathfinder 8 gets out... The nipples may make an appearance in that one. They're on a statue, though, not a real live woman, so I think we'll be able to get away with it...
12/03/2008 05:08:16 ‹Lilith› :lol:
12/03/2008 05:08:29 ‹Lilith› I'm still amazed the Lamashtu article didn't raise any eyebrows.
12/03/2008 05:08:39 ‹Luna› 58008!!!
12/03/2008 05:08:40 ‹Daigle› Tell that to Ashcroft  :P
12/03/2008 05:08:44 ‹Lilith› Monster births - okay! Incest - not okay!
12/03/2008 05:09:06 ‹Majuba› Lilith: oh yes - made my handouts with your pictures - thanks!
12/03/2008 05:09:13 ‹Lilith› Majuba: You're welcome.
12/03/2008 05:09:14 ‹James Jacobs› Yeah; Lamashtu more or less went over without a squabble. Weird.
12/03/2008 05:09:22 ‹James Jacobs› We'll see if Urgathoa has the same luck...
12/03/2008 05:09:26 ‹Daigle› I think people get uneasy with certain material when it is more real and more close to home
12/03/2008 05:09:47 * Mad Geologist joins Main
12/03/2008 05:09:55 ‹James Jacobs› I'd agree there, Daigle.
12/03/2008 05:10:01 ‹Daigle› ...some people just like to be offended, too.
12/03/2008 05:10:11 ‹Russ› Maybe you can have an important politician caught with a prostitute
12/03/2008 05:10:14 ‹cpt_kirstov› Daigle, WHICH IS WHY i PLAY A VERY GRAPHIC BUT VERY NON-HUMANCENTRIC VERSION OF THE WORLD FOR MY HOME GROUP
12/03/2008 05:10:22 ‹cpt_kirstov› oops sorry for caps
12/03/2008 05:10:24 ‹Luna› cool stuff lilith
12/03/2008 05:10:27 ‹James Jacobs› Which is why the start of Edge of Anarchy had me a little nervous too, what with all the kids in danger. BUT: It was so obviously inspired by Charles Dickens that I felt it was okay to run with it.
12/03/2008 05:10:51 ‹Mad Geologist› Charles Evans returns....
12/03/2008 05:10:55 ‹Lilith› Luna: And obviously...SQUEE!!! http://darkmoongallery.com/det...p?id=84
12/03/2008 05:11:21 * Takasi prepping Burning Sky changes his/her nickname to Takasi running Burning Sky
12/03/2008 05:11:25 ‹Luna› LOL cool!
12/03/2008 05:11:48 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Anytime kids are involved, it can get sticky.
12/03/2008 05:11:59 ‹Daigle› I had never realized the backlash regarding child violence in fiction until it got brought up in the last "I'm offended" bruhaha.
12/03/2008 05:12:28 ‹Mad Geologist› As I hypothesised before, Lamashtu was acceptable because of the science fiction/Alien Movies genre...
12/03/2008 05:12:35 ‹James Jacobs› Possibly.
12/03/2008 05:12:53 ‹Luna› I need to get a scanner ao I can put some of my art up.
12/03/2008 05:13:01 ‹Lilith› Luna: You should!
12/03/2008 05:13:07 ‹James Jacobs› But Alien hasn't been around as long as Texas Chainsaw or Hills Have Eyes or Deliverance. All of the inspiration for Hook Mountain came from movies before Alien...
12/03/2008 05:13:13 ‹Daigle› Syriana used child death well, I think.  It can be a strong motivator, even stronger with breeders I'd imagine.
12/03/2008 05:13:30 ‹Luna› I do mostly girls as well..I have a hard time w/ men
12/03/2008 05:13:41 ‹Daigle› Though that was an accident and not really violence
12/03/2008 05:13:44 ‹Luna› that looked very bad...lol
12/03/2008 05:13:51 * Daigle laughs
12/03/2008 05:14:00 ‹Daigle› TMI, 
12/03/2008 05:14:03 ‹Majuba› JJ: I don't care for the Alien movies, but I'd about *never* watch Chainsaw massacre
12/03/2008 05:14:07 ‹James Jacobs› Child peril works VERY well in fiction of any type. Look at all of Spielberg's movies, for example. He did okay for himself making a living off of movies in which kids get eaten by sharks, etc.
12/03/2008 05:14:52 ‹Luna› <oops> what I do that Yasha duse not know wont hurt him!
12/03/2008 05:15:00 ‹James Jacobs› And Stephen King as well.
12/03/2008 05:15:02 ‹James Jacobs› HA!
12/03/2008 05:15:14 ‹Hill Giant› Harry Potter is all about horrible things happening to kids - it seems to have spawned too
12/03/2008 05:15:17 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: Burnt offerings had a goblin hiding under a house with child-peril theme...
12/03/2008 05:15:26 ‹James Jacobs› Yup; Harry Potter's a great example.
12/03/2008 05:15:29 ‹Russ› Children in peril gets something in the hindbrain.
12/03/2008 05:15:33 ‹James Jacobs› Yup! Burnt offerings too!
12/03/2008 05:15:52 ‹James Jacobs› Kids are, as a whole, a LOT more resilient than folk think.
12/03/2008 05:15:53 ‹Hill Giant› Although to be perfectly honest, I though Harry Potter was too harsh
12/03/2008 05:16:04 ‹Russ› My wife and I loved HP
12/03/2008 05:16:35 ‹Rambling Scribe› Many episodes of supernatural open with scenes of children in peril. I can't watch those episodes alone. But I love to watch them.
12/03/2008 05:16:59 ‹Luna› James Jacobs, Mad Geologist, ummm...like anita blake books ...did you guys  know that "burnt offerings" is also a book
12/03/2008 05:17:02 ‹James Jacobs› I'm not condoning throwing them to the wolves at age 7 to learn them how to cope... but my Grandma pretty much got me hooked on Stephen King at like age 12 with Pet Semetary (which is pretty hard-core on the violence against one kid in particular), and I turned out mostly okay.
12/03/2008 05:17:11 ‹James Jacobs› Burnt Offerings is also a movie.
12/03/2008 05:17:24 ‹Luna› is it?
12/03/2008 05:17:25 ‹Russ› My idiot parents took me to Jaws when I was 5 or 6
12/03/2008 05:17:30 ‹James Jacobs› yup.
12/03/2008 05:17:34 ‹Luna› cool
12/03/2008 05:17:46 ‹Mad Geologist› Here in the UK we had Doctor Who for children....
12/03/2008 05:17:50 ‹James Jacobs› http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074258/
12/03/2008 05:17:55 ‹Mad Geologist› (children scaring, that is)
12/03/2008 05:18:03 ‹Majuba› Must sleep - night all!
12/03/2008 05:18:10 ‹Mad Geologist› Goodnight Majuba
12/03/2008 05:18:13 ‹Luna› i saw chucky when I was 6 and my brother had the doll that chucky was made after...that sucked 
05:18:44 ‹Luna› he kept putting it in my room to fund just before bed time...would freak me out
12/03/2008 05:18:46 ‹James Jacobs› When we come up with a new title for an adventure, I generally google it to see if there's hits. In some cases, that ends up making us change the title. For Burnt Offerings, the title wasn't attached to anything that was REALLY all that iconic to another story, plus the title itself is pretty simple.
12/03/2008 05:18:54 ‹Daigle› Night Majuba
12/03/2008 05:19:02 ‹Mad Geologist› I believe that the Childs Play films were banned here in the UK because of the James Bulger murder...
12/03/2008 05:19:02 ‹Pygon› I heard Exorcist at age 13, that was enough to keep me sleeping with my light on for weeks
12/03/2008 05:19:03 ‹James Jacobs› I saw Jaws, Alien, and the Shining all in the same day. Best Day Ever.
12/03/2008 05:19:22 ‹Lilith› The original Terminator freaked me out when I was a kid. That scene where he's chasing them down the hallway in his 'bot form, and they're trying to close the door...Eesh.
12/03/2008 05:19:28 ‹Luna› cool...its a good book but the rest of the serious gets bad
12/03/2008 05:19:32 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: That seems...like a seminal day in your life. :)
12/03/2008 05:19:37 ‹James Jacobs› It was.
12/03/2008 05:19:52 ‹Lilith› Add Gojira and you'd have been set. :P
12/03/2008 05:20:17 * Majuba quit
12/03/2008 05:20:20 ‹Luna› Mad Geologist, James Bulger?
12/03/2008 05:20:47 ‹Mad Geologist› Child murder case, killed by a pair of older children in amanner in imitation of a death in one of the films. #
12/03/2008 05:20:53 ‹Luna› gremlins was bad for ma but I was like 4
12/03/2008 05:21:07 ‹Luna› me
12/03/2008 05:21:11 ‹James Jacobs› Yup. Saw Godzilla on late-night creature features. Saturday night at 11:30 PM. My dad let me stay up and he watched it with me. I was probably about 7 or so at the time, and that pretty much started me on the monster path. Watched a new movie every few Saturdays with him.
12/03/2008 05:21:23 ‹James Jacobs› Attack of the Mushroom People, Mole Men, Angry Red Planet, etc.
12/03/2008 05:21:24 ‹James Jacobs› Good times.
12/03/2008 05:21:26 ‹Daigle› E.T. scared me at the beginning when he was running from the feds.
12/03/2008 05:21:36 ‹Daigle› ;)
12/03/2008 05:21:45 ‹Pygon› well yah that scream would scare anyone.
12/03/2008 05:21:59 ‹Pygon› if I heard that coming towards me I'd be up a tree
12/03/2008 05:22:13 ‹Luna› that sound in ET when he was making the stuff fly around scared the crap out of me for some reason
12/03/2008 05:22:18 ‹James Jacobs› What if that tree ended up being the one from Poltergeist?
12/03/2008 05:22:25 ‹James Jacobs› (speaking of children in peril)
12/03/2008 05:22:34 ‹Pygon› then I'd wait for the tornado to save me from it
12/03/2008 05:22:34 ‹Daigle› nice
12/03/2008 05:23:20 ‹Rambling Scribe› :coffee: or :sleep::?:
12/03/2008 05:23:36 ‹Mothman› I remember sneaking out to watch Doctor Who from behind the couch in our living room when I was about 6. The insectiod monsters from The Leisure Hive really freaked me out
12/03/2008 05:23:36 ‹Luna› killer clowns from outer space...cant use a crazt straw to this day w/ out thinking about it!
12/03/2008 05:23:58 ‹Daigle› Kids learn fear from people, for the most part.  My oldest nephew wasn't afraid of the dark and didn't need or want a nightlight until he went to school.
12/03/2008 05:24:06 ‹James Jacobs› HA! Killer clowns! That movie was fun.
12/03/2008 05:24:27 ‹James Jacobs› I learned fear from Bigfoot.
12/03/2008 05:24:27 ‹Hill Giant› Rambling Scribe :espresso:
12/03/2008 05:24:33 ‹Luna› ya it was cool...but i have a hard time with straws and cotton candy
12/03/2008 05:24:42 ‹Daigle› Bigfoot?
12/03/2008 05:24:42 ‹Rambling Scribe› I remember being traumatized by an epsiode of Star Trek. The one with the kids that get sick and go crazy when they hit puberty. Kids inperil again.
12/03/2008 05:24:45 ‹Mad Geologist› Rambling Scribe: :tea::!:
12/03/2008 05:24:47 ‹James Jacobs› Yup. I have hard times with CLOWNS.
12/03/2008 05:25:13 ‹James Jacobs› Clowns are all about kids in peril. Because Clowns are HORROR INCARNATE.
12/03/2008 05:25:25 ‹Daigle› There was a study recently that determined that most kids disllike clowns.
12/03/2008 05:25:30 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: Only the white faced mines....
12/03/2008 05:25:36 ‹Rambling Scribe› Lilith, we need a clown emoticon...
12/03/2008 05:25:37 ‹Daigle› What a fun study to do!
12/03/2008 05:25:44 ‹Lilith› Rambling Scribe: :lol:
12/03/2008 05:25:49 ‹Mad Geologist› Pierrots?
12/03/2008 05:26:14 ‹Luna› my papa was a clown from Ringling brothers
12/03/2008 05:26:31 ‹Daigle› Really?  Rad!
12/03/2008 05:26:32 ‹Rambling Scribe› I've never been scared of clowns, but I wanted to bunch one in the face when I was about 10.
12/03/2008 05:26:44 ‹Luna› he dressed up for may 8th b-day...an OLD clown is the worst
12/03/2008 05:26:44 ‹Rambling Scribe› ...punch...
12/03/2008 05:26:59 ‹Luna› punch
12/03/2008 05:27:01 ‹Daigle› Craig, did he get you with the old flower squirting water gag?
12/03/2008 05:27:10 ‹Luna› lol
12/03/2008 05:27:16 ‹Mothman› Clowns are just embarrassing
12/03/2008 05:27:21 ‹Mad Geologist› dentists are scary whatever age you are....
12/03/2008 05:27:29 ‹Rambling Scribe› No hw was holding abubble wand for me to blow bubbles, but he kept poking me in the nose with it.
12/03/2008 05:27:37 ‹Luna› OH ya im w/ you Mad Geologist,
12/03/2008 05:28:06 ‹Rambling Scribe› Doctor, I think I need a long, slow root canal...
12/03/2008 05:28:11 ‹James Jacobs› Kids dislike clowns because they are so weird and freaky. The same way a kid, I suspect, would be afraid of a shaved dog that was wearing flippers and a crown of blinking LED lights and when the dog opened its mouth to bark, the sound that came out was like a car crashing into a horse.
12/03/2008 05:28:20 * Sothal@work joins Main
12/03/2008 05:28:34 ‹Rambling Scribe› JJ, that's some image.
12/03/2008 05:28:37 ‹Sothal@work› Good Morning from Austria
12/03/2008 05:28:38 ‹Hill Giant› Clowns are in the uncanny valley?
12/03/2008 05:28:39 ‹Daigle› Yeah...that does freaky pretty nicely.
12/03/2008 05:28:48 ‹Mad Geologist› James JacobsUntil the sound came out, it might be funny.
12/03/2008 05:28:51 ‹James Jacobs› OH! And when you looked at the dog, you suddenly taste carob (not chocolate) in your mouth.
12/03/2008 05:28:52 ‹Pygon› *honk neigh SPLORTCH*
12/03/2008 05:28:55 ‹Daigle› Howdy Sothal
12/03/2008 05:29:07 ‹CD Lunching› mostinfants are scred of Santa
12/03/2008 05:29:15 ‹CD Lunching› scared
12/03/2008 05:29:16 ‹Lilith› Luna: Have you seen the dancing lizards commercial?
12/03/2008 05:29:16 ‹Luna› James Jacobs,  I had to read that like 5 times
12/03/2008 05:29:19 * Daigle shakes his head at carob.
12/03/2008 05:29:47 ‹Lilith› Carob is...wrong...:ohnoes:
12/03/2008 05:29:53 ‹Luna› Lilith, yes! I had to look it up on the net because i dont DO football
12/03/2008 05:30:04 ‹Mad Geologist› Carob is a *CHEAT*...
12/03/2008 05:30:18 ‹Mad Geologist› It pretends to be something that it isn't.
12/03/2008 05:30:20 ‹Rambling Scribe› My kids watch all kinds of stuff that I think will scare them, but run and hide and turn off the TV when a kid lies or jumps to a false conclusion in a show.
12/03/2008 05:30:31 ‹Luna› Lilith, Mad Geologist,  who?
12/03/2008 05:31:07 ‹Daigle› carob is fake chocolate
12/03/2008 05:31:11 ‹Mad Geologist› Carob?... Chocolate 'substitute'
12/03/2008 05:31:21 ‹Luna› ewww...i did not want to know
12/03/2008 05:31:27 ‹Daigle› The gardenburger of candy
12/03/2008 05:31:40 ‹Rambling Scribe› Carob tastes almost exactly, but not entirely, unlike chocolate.
12/03/2008 05:31:43 ‹Luna› wronge so very wronge
12/03/2008 05:31:50 ‹Lilith› very very very very wrong
12/03/2008 05:31:51 ‹Sothal@work› Carob sounds like Tofu... fake goodness
12/03/2008 05:31:58 ‹Luna› lol
12/03/2008 05:32:20 ‹Luna› i need chocolate :lick:
12/03/2008 05:32:22 ‹Daigle› tofu is actually good, though
12/03/2008 05:32:29 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: Did you think of any questions or not?
12/03/2008 05:32:33 ‹Lilith› Daigle: Meh...:(
12/03/2008 05:32:44 ‹Mad Geologist› Lilith: We need a choclate emoticon!
12/03/2008 05:32:51 ‹Luna› if cooked well if not welll...what Daigle said
12/03/2008 05:32:53 ‹Rambling Scribe› I think I have some nice Ma-Po tofu left in the fridge...
12/03/2008 05:32:58 ‹Mad Geologist› chocolate, even.
12/03/2008 05:33:10 ‹Sothal@work› Daigle We had that discussion already...
12/03/2008 05:33:33 ‹Luna› yes...big chocolate kill emoticon
12/03/2008 05:33:37 ‹Mad Geologist› Lilith: In fact it surprises me that there is not one already, or would the detail be too fine?
12/03/2008 05:33:39 ‹Luna› kiss
12/03/2008 05:33:40 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: What would you like to see at PaizoCon?
12/03/2008 05:33:42 ‹Luna› not kill
12/03/2008 05:33:56 ‹Daigle› Luna, I like chocolate kill
12/03/2008 05:33:58 ‹Pygon› James - besides fonts, layout times, and being clear on word counts, what kinds of lessons from Path 1 are you carrying into the later paths?
12/03/2008 05:34:00 ‹Lilith› Mad Geologist: There might be one out there. :D
12/03/2008 05:34:10 ‹Hill Giant› At this resolution, a chocolate kiss might look like poo
12/03/2008 05:34:15 ‹Rambling Scribe› There's tho chocolate coins: :2cp:
12/03/2008 05:34:23 ‹James Jacobs› Hmmm... no. Didn't think of any questions.
12/03/2008 05:34:25 ‹Hill Giant› Gelt!
12/03/2008 05:34:28 ‹Daigle› Excellent point Hill Giant
12/03/2008 05:34:30 ‹James Jacobs› At least... none I'm allowed to ask yet.
12/03/2008 05:34:58 ‹Mad Geologist› James Jacobs: You mean the 'will you lynch mob us if we.....' questions? :D
12/03/2008 05:35:01 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: Awww...!
12/03/2008 05:35:02 ‹Luna› needing :coffee:
12/03/2008 05:35:07 ‹James Jacobs› As for what I'd like to see at PaizoCon... dunno! Maybe a trailer for the Runelords movie? :)
12/03/2008 05:35:13 ‹Lilith› James Jacobs: :lol:
12/03/2008 05:35:20 ‹Pygon› who would play Seoni?
12/03/2008 05:35:28 * Daigle grins
12/03/2008 05:35:45 ‹Luna› :excite: that would be kewl
12/03/2008 05:35:51 ‹Mad Geologist› Wouldn't you have to get the permission of the IP holders to put Seoni in a movie? :D
12/03/2008 05:35:55 * Sothal@work quit (timeout)
12/03/2008 05:36:15 ‹James Jacobs› Pygon> The biggest lesson from Runelords, probably, is that we need to schedule more time for work and writing around Gen Con. That, and that the adventures are just too long at 50 pages. Unfortunately, we didn't realize THAT lesson in time to fix things in Crimson Throne...
12/03/2008 05:36:32 ‹Mad Geologist› Oh... wait... Paizo is IP holder....
