Yesterday I described some things I don’t like about Pathfinder cleric subdomains. Now it’s time to think about what to do about these things. I think I’ll do this in several passes, since so far I’ve found the solutions I come up with tend to interact with more than one …
I’ll start by saying that I like Pathfinder’s domains and subdomains. Domains provide a structured means to collect divine spells and granted powers so they can be assigned and associated with gods in a structured way. Pathfinder expanded on the D&D 3.x model by adding an intermediate power available to …
I try to stay away from political conversations, though the US presidential race is making that difficult at times. Not only am I being inundated with political stuff from another country, but some of it is so blatantly unfair and untrue that it riles me something fierce. So, in lighter …
I am considering a series of blog posts building pantheons — or rather, a pantheon identifying the gods for each culture, since by definition the ‘pantheon’ covers everything.

A few weeks ago I mentioned the Kaidan Campaign Setting (for Pathfinder) in my Links of the Week. This is a setting based on Japanese myth. Not the friendly happy kind that gave us Totoro, but the kind that would have people locking their doors and following ritual to stay …
I was really excited by the Reaper Miniatures Kickstarter. To be honest, I still am excited by it. I backed it for a while. Then I added up just how much I’ve backed and found I had over $500 backing for projects closing in the next month. I dropped it …
