Merry Mortician

Holy crap now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time! Welcome back, @jkason! You'll have to consult the judges re: how best to revitalize your PCs since you appear to have four of them between levels 8 and 10, especially since we handle XP differently now and have a process for de-leveling in order to play when there's no games of the appropriate level. Like @FrancisJohn said, we definitely still have a bunch of your drawings for NPCs. As MW transitions, we've been slowly transferring all the old campaign guide entries for the second time. Speaking of which, I'm hoping to get more NPCs moved once I wrap The Madhouse.

Brother do I feel you. I'm in a similar boat. We've entered the final encounter in The Madhouse and when that wraps, I'll be taking a break from GM'ing until the job situation resolves. I wish you luck and godspeed in that endeavor.

Thanks for the info, @hoverfrog. And really sorry to hear how tough things have gotten, @sunshadow21. I've had to pivot to more active job hunting as well. Some companies aren't being run with the same attention to quality and/or ethics anymore.

I was getting the exact same message. I tried each of those buttons before but not the one-two punch in sequence. I'll give that a shot on my next post. Thanks!

I was clicking "clone" on my previous IC post each time in order to carry the stat block and formatting forward to my next IC post. It's stopped working. Now when I click clone, nothing happens. Has anyone else run into this issue?

I think a lot of the description about Golarion monsters' culture (e.g., goblins hating dogs, being afraid of books, etc.) came about in Paizo's APs/modules and in the Revisited line of books. I'd have to look at the PFSRD later to confirm but that sort of lore might fall under copyright. I see a parallel to Paizo axing drow in their upcoming reprints of PF2e books. While dark elves have existed in world mythologies for thousands of years, the chaotic evil, hollow world dwelling drow we know and love have arguably become WotC IP. EDIT: This is me musing on the topic and not claiming we do or don't need to rewrite anything.

Since the GM Advice thread is locked, I'll comment here. @hoverfrog you bring up a good point about monsters in E'n. I defaulted to Golarion goblin themes but even while doing so I had a similar thought: is this what goblins are like on E'n? Personally, I like Golarion's goblins much better than those of the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, etc. I find them immeasurably more interesting. I would agree that it could be fun to establish some proprietary monster lore for E'n. Seeing as I've still got to finish the NPC transfer, and other thread transfers are still in progress as well, I suspect we'll have limited time as a community to tackle that specific matter until some active games have wrapped. The main threads have been kinda barren of late since there's so much IC action happening (not to be interpreted as a complaint).

Thanks for the update, @sunshadow21, and here's hoping work improves in due time!

Was there some kind of warning on the OGMW board and here about inactivity or are the judges bumping threads so they'll show up in searches?

I've had a few ideas that bring Rhat'matanis more into the limelight but haven't followed through on anything there yet. I was developing something a few months ago that focused on the sordid history of the Transcendental Imperium and what's happening now, especially in Rhat'matanis and a more exotic linked locale. Then we didn't need a game for that high level of play that I was planning so I put it on the back burner for now. My personal head canon imagines the southeastern portion of the eastern continent to be East Asian inspired, similar to Tian Xia in Golarion, but I have only made one recent mention in the game I'm GMing about bamboo coming from there.

@Maidhc O Casain That globe render is really cool! But there's almost half a planet with no land masses. I wonder if any nations could have sunk beneath the waves or been obliterated in magical warfare... GM brain go brrrrrrrrrr

I was hoping that would work but hadn't tried yet. You can't clone from one thread to another as far as I can tell though.

Sounds like what you were trying to do with HTML was the Fieldset option. The button looks kinda like a letter s in a box with an apostrophe on the left. Click that and it'll produce the bordered area with two text fields, one of which is the spot to incorporate text onto the border line. I've downloaded, converted, and reuploaded images for each entry in NPCs and Organizations. I'm not sure if there's an easier way aside from loading from a URL. I'll soon be able to report on the experience of carrying formatting and images from one IC post to the next. I'm a bit concerned I'll have to manually upload the character image in every post.

Which section did you pick up again? And struggling in what way, specifically?
