Lol. I meant that in 1e elves were shorter than humans!! And since I finally got a 3.5 PHB they were there as well . . . Yet my group of experienced players were surprised by this information? . . . I think it's more to do with WoW MMO than anything else - the fiction of that world is slowly bleeding thru and becoming a genre norm . . . Which I find disturbing . . . Thank you for not mentioning that splat book - I really enjoyed 2e up until that book came out because then it was like "why fucking bother you're all elves and can kick the crap out of anything smaller than a Demi god because you're elves . . . " (I am lead to believe the original author apologised for the book a few years ago) Aaron I know - I was just hating on the original D&D version of the race. If you mean 'class=race' . . . oh yeah fuck that shit Aaron

FUCKING FURRIESIMPLEMENT THE SOLUTION!!!! I cannot speak for happenings across the big wet BUT there is a thing WORSE than Furries . . . it's true: FUCKING FAIRIESThe have 'Fey Gatherings/Conventions' and dress up as FAIRIES . . . think Furries but with mosquito netting wings and pointy ears . . . For them I'd throw open the doors of Auschwitz myself and declare it open for business (and I hate Nazi's, neo-nazi's, white supremacists . . . etc etc . . . fuck it they can go in there too) Aaron

At the Renaissance Faire, a few patrons would dress up as fairies. When it got too pervasive, a few performers would fashion a large net, and they'd borrow my comically huge oak hammer and go "fairy hunting."

I was under the impression that Pathfinder is making good profit off their modules. I've got some old modules from the 1st and 2nd Ed days and some of them are ghastly horrible, while some of them have a really good sandbox like feel to them that can fit into my own adventures(Isle of Dread). To me, modules finally got what they deserved when Paizo started doing them. Those adventure paths meant to take you from level 1's up to 20 make a whole lot more sense to me than the old modules. As a GM have I ever used them(i'm talking specifically about Paizo's here, I have used the first 3 modules when I was learning D&D 3rd)? No. As a player, I want to play them though. I know they catch a lot of shit with this crowd here on the podcast, but it is the closest our hobby has to "popular novels". YES I KNOW. Even saying the word "novel" is going to get me a ticket to bitch out town from the hosts that's ok, I accept that. But at least a few of these paths are "blockbusters" in the gaming world. Rise of the Runelords proved so popular that it has a real high production value, single book edition of the adventures. It is sort of cool to be able to meet people that have played a couple of the same adventures as you and talk about them. "Remember when that tree turned out to be a vampire?" "yea man! our druid was all hugging it when it woke up". Hosts might poop on experiencing a "novel" together, but I hear them talk about people's con games that they've each played at separate times. Adventure paths are just extended con games. Anyway. I said all that so I could say this: If WOTC wants to attack Pathfinder, they're going to have to find some passionate people to do more than "stock" fantasy art to create modules. Because their sterile approach to fluff that they've had in 4th Ed is not going to cut it.

My current group wanted to try 1e because they 'never had before' and they wanted the most famous 1e 'super module' 'The Temple of Elemental Evil' because it's legendary (good or bad). Granted the best bits have been the bits I've put in to flesh it out and the side treks designed to give it the feel I want the group to have - a world thats dark, dangerous and untrustworthy. Aaron

I was under the impression that Pathfinder is making good profit off their modules. Obviously, I'm not privy to their financials... But EVERY other company out there has said that modules don't make them money. NOW, that doesn't mean that it's not necessarily a bad idea to make them anyway. They would fall into the category of Loss Leaders IMO. They might lose you a bit of cash, but they could encourage further sales of your higher margin items.
