From Chris Swiatek over on Google+: I guess this is why I prefer Pathfinder / 3.5; yet, I still have a place in my heart for older editions.

I saw this post  (and later others ), and it inspired me to share some of my game room / family room / crafting area artwork.  Yes that is Betty White versus Wolverine by Jay Jacot . Mathematica and Spore -- now there's a combination. Pathfinder and Firefly! Yup, on the far left, that is the Hero of Canton!

I have a vice if anyone needs to use one... http://bigballofnofun.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-dice-must-learn.html

Referencing  this : Individual, group, and no XP? I look at each obstacle that must be overcome and award XP based on whether this obstacle is overcome by the group or the individual.  For example, a monster or a trap in most cases something that the group will work together on, so everyone gets equal XP for contributing. However, there are obstacles that are individual.  Everyone has to walk the tight rope to the other side of the bridge, or fall in and swim.  XP for this task is given individually just like they must individually complete the task.  If they figure out a group method (we take a boat across) the task becomes a group task with group XP again. Absent player XP? Absent players don't get XP. Awards for roleplaying, miniatures, backgrounds, pizza, etc? I use karma points as a reward for these things.  Karma points give you a save from death, allow you to autostabilize to zero hit points, allow you to take extra actions, allow you to ...

From here . 1.  Ability score generation method? Best 3 of 4d6 and use them in any order.  If you have 2 below 10 or no 18 you can re-roll (all of them). 2.  How are death and dying handled? Pathfinder rules:  you are dead when you go below your negative constitution.  0 and negative are unconscious but heal-able.  Don't forget to stabilize -- I'll even give you a condition card to remember. Exception:  If you have a karma point you can use it to instantly stabilize at 0 hit points or get a save from death. 3.  What about raising the dead? If there is a recoverable body, you can raise the dead.  No body = really, really dead. Sorry Wil Wheaton -- Aoefel + acid = really, really dead, unless your party pulls him out quickly. 4.  How are replacement PCs handled? Replacement PCs are inserted wherever in the game makes sense.  I let the new PC and the party drive how/why they get integrated into the party. ...
