{lang: ‘en-GB’}We finally learn some information about the shadowbeasts, asking around town about anyone whose seen such a beast or survived or witnessed an attack. The type of shadowbeast we will be looking for are slug-like creatures, lacking arms and legs and using natural attacks. What this means is that our normal tactics of disarming [...]
{lang: ‘en-GB’}'Are the shadowbeasts undead?’ ‘Make me a Knowledge (The Planes) check.’ ‘That’s a failed roll, but I’m guessing they’re extra-planar and not undead.’
{lang: ‘en-GB’}There are shadowbeasts lurking in the darkness each night, and we want to find out more about them so we can eradicate them from the city. ‘The story behind the shadowbeasts’, our DM starts, ‘the lore, if you will, the, uh…’ ‘Belief?’ ‘Yeah, the belief behind—’ ‘The Myth.’ ‘Right, …behind—’ ‘The legend!’ ‘…behind the—’ [...]
{lang: ‘en-GB’}In creating the next combat encounter, our DM is remembering the good old days. I’d forgotten how much of a pain in the rear trying to make a monster was in 3.5e, which it seems to be the same in Pathfinder in terms of being a nightmare. I tell you now, if you lot [...]
{lang: ‘en-GB’}Elves are different in Pathfinder. I don’t know how we missed it last week but our elven companion is over six-feet tall, which I would say is uncharacteristically taller than the humans but apparently it isn’t. Elves are tall now. It’s possible that we didn’t notice the elf looming over us because they are [...]
{lang: ‘en-GB’}I’m jotting down a few notes, conscious that doing so could slow the game down and trying to keep circumstances moving as I scribble. ‘Are you thinking about questions to ask’, I say to the players, referring to the mercenaries they’ve just captured, ‘or are you staring in to space?’ ‘Huh, we could be [...]
{lang: ‘en-GB’}'I won’t be able to make the session tonight. I have my character sheet here for you to take along, so you can decide whether to continue with him along or not.’ ‘Yeah, we’ll carry on with him. At least, to start with, probably until the first encounter.’ ‘This is what I’m afraid of.’ [...]
{lang: ‘en-GB’}The acolytes investigating possible heretical surgical modifications have been equipped with a bio-sensor that when in the presence of anomalous tissue ‘whines with increasing volume’. We have a similar sensor that whines with increasing volume when it detects the Lord of the Rings films being mentioned around the table.
{lang: ‘en-GB’}'What do you get?’ ‘Hang on, I’ll roll it again and actually look at the result this time.’ <rolls dice> ‘I get a critical failure. That’ll teach me to pay more attention.’
{lang: ‘en-GB’}We have been accused of theft. This is news to us but being assaulted in the market gets our attention. We head up to the house where the master of our accuser lives. ‘You approach the house and see that the door… is open!’ ‘Is that unusual?’ ‘Not especially. You enter and quickly realise [...]
