  • So What's It Called, Anyway?
    SO WHAT’S IT CALLED, ANYWAY? A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Compatible GM’S RESOURCE by Marc Radle Sample file Sample file SO WHAT’S IT CALLED, ANYWAY? A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game GM’S RESOURCE supplement by Marc Radle Having returned from their most recent adventure, the PCs rest and recuperate in a nearby town. Of course, being adventurers it’s not long before they start to explore every nook and cranny of their new home in search of adventure! Before the hard‐worked GM knows it, they are exploring every un‐detailed portion of the town and asking questions like “So what’s that tavern called, anyway?” Instead of panicking, or using the same old names again and again, a GM using the tables within can quickly name dozens (if not hundreds) of taverns, inns, shops, locations and even other organisations and groups. Alternatively, the GM can use these tables ahead of time to create interesting and evocative names to pique the PCs’ interest and to breathe life into his campaign setting.

  • Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2
    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 by Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd Art by Noëlle Triaureau Editorial assistance from Joe “Warlockco” Weber A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Welcome to volume two of the Bestiary of the Realms. As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted. A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed. One last note, we’ve done our best to include source references for all things where appropriate, except those found in the three core rulebooks or Expanded Psionics Handbook. Until then, Sword High! – Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas M. Costa is a senior analyst with the Government Accountability Office. He has been a contributor to several Wizards of the Coast products including Demihuman Deities and Races of Faerûn, and is the author of several Dragon Magazine and Wizards of the Coast website articles.

  • Letter-Sized Diskwar Rul Copy 1
    What do I need to play L5R Diskwars? To play L5R Diskwars, you will need an Army of Disks and one or more other players to battle against. We recommend that each player purchase a L5R Diskwars Army Set. If this is not possible, you can split the number of Disks contained in one Army Set into two smaller Armies and play a series of very small battles. It is also a good idea to acquire a ruler for measuring purposes. If one is not available, you can cut out the ruler that is printed on the bottom of this rulesheet. Winning the Game L5R Diskwars is played by using different scenarios, each with its own victory conditions. We have included several such scenarios at the end of these rules, and encourage you to make up your own scenarios as well. Anatomy of the Disks There are four types of Disks in L5R Diskwars. 1) Stronghold Disks Stronghold Disks are the largest disks in L5R Diskwars, and represent the home of your Clan. A Player may may Activate the ability on his Stronghold only if at least 75% of the points that he spent on Units and Items are disks from that Stronghold and Clan.
