Tome of Horrors Complete

Yeah, I was one of the luck few to get the Tome of Horrors Complete bundle hardcover and PDF. I saw it, I got it, and by the time I got home from work it was sold out. The best part is that I was able to download the rather large PDF already, and the content is really cool. Demons, undead, planar beings, animals and plants, playable races, trainable creatures, templates... it is all good.

In fact, already in honor of this new addition (edition too! lol) in my hoard of Pathfinder Stuff, I already have a new adventure brewing.

There will have to be time on a ship, time in the jungle, time underground, time near a volcano, and traveling of the planes.

I can't wait.

5E Starting Gold and Equipment for Higher Levels

The DMG has a rough recommendation for starting gold and equipment for higher levels, but with my groups running one-shots, we wanted to nail it down to level by level. Here's my DMG-inspired table. Generally I allow equipment to be traded in during character creation for half book value, where applicable. I also, as a GM, offer to make custom magic items for players who can't choose. A list of magical items by rarity can be found here with stats available in the DMG. I also generally allow players to buy healing potions (2d4+2) for 50gp and greater healing potions for 250gp (4d4+4). PHB items are available at book cost at creation. I do not allow other equipment to be purchased except in game. This is generally based off the "high magic" campaign. Level Starting Gold Starting Equipment / Magic Items 1 - 160gp OR Standard starting equipment 2 210gp Standard starting equipment 3 285gp Standard starting equipment 4 365gp Standard sta...

Pathfinder without Armor Check Penalty: Avoiding Nude PCs

I like Pathfinder without Armor Check Penalty and here's why. From the PRD: Armor Check Penalty : Any armor heavier than leather, as well as any shield, applies an armor check penalty to all Dexterity- and Strength-based skill checks. A character's encumbrance may also incur an armor check penalty. Armor check penalty is a big problem in Pathfinder. It affects a number of critical skills: Acrobatics Climb Disable Device Escape Artist Fly Sleight of Hand Stealth Swim Clearly some of these seem relevantly affected, but what about disable device? I can't move lockpicks because I am wearing armor? That seems odd. If I were to include ACP, which I currently don't foresee, I think I would limit it to affecting only Acrobatics, Escape Artist, Sleight of Hand, and Swim. These seem reasonable... more reasonable than the full list. Unfortunately, my experience with ACP is that is leads to unnecessarily ridiculous scenarios: Hmmm... ...

More Organizing

Besides an occasional game, mostly I've been organizing things in my rare spare time. I got my hooks put up allowing me to hang my gaming bags and travel monitor. Also, I got a pegboard framed and hung over my miniatures table. It's all looking better and better.
