Thanks to the Paizoians for getting this up!

Boskalis Subsea Services Seeks New Ideas for SURF Arena Play. Boskalis Subsea Services is creating new opportunities for the supply chain by inviting companies to come forward. The metal glass almost broke when Taehyung heard the name 'Liam'. Hoseok stayed quite, not daring to utter a single word and letting Taehyung vent his anger. 'And his mission is Jungkook?' Taehyung's voice was steeled. Hoseok nodded. Taehyung licked his lips and put the glass down, 'He won't be going back alive' He said and got up from the chair. On the whole, I feel that Bloodlust is an excellent concept (if you’re into S&S) unfortunately marred by an overly complex system. In an attempt to design a brutal and realistic combat system, the authors gave birth to a labyrinth of tables, modifiers, rolls and more modifiers that make the reader shiver.

The tragic taurians!

Another monster race/class book. Well if it is even close to as good as the first two then it should be very good.

Well, mugtuggle . . . I just picked up a bunch of PDFs yesterday that I've been eying for a while. I really like minotaurs, and I enjoyed In the Company of Giants. Might have to break down and make another PDF purchase.

Rite Publishing

As the giants were about norse mythology this, and the gargoyles were more the disney tv show and Nightmares in the Sky, this one is about getitng back to the roots of greek tragedy and while PCs can be any alignment the Taurian race is usually Lawful Evil, they have a very evil cultural tradition in kidnapping, slavery, and misogyny.

I enjoyed this book.the fact that they justify the fact that the outside world views them as 'evil', and do it while sounding perfectly reasonable and sane one of the best parts of the book. Its rare to see a book about an evil race that is so well thought out

I am glad you enjoyed that it was a hard fight on my part to keep them lawful evil, and really show how evil their culture really is yet, retain the tragic nobility.

Could I convince you to post a review?

Thank you for your review D.M. :)

Any thoughts on how to tone down race to make it seem less strong? Is it the dual bonus to strength and constitution that makes it feel just a hair overpowered?

Dark_Mistress

Yeah add in the bonus to wis as well. yes they take a hit to dex and chr. But over all I think they would make a very effective heavy armor fighter type. Like it said I felt they wasn't enough for a EL, just on the high end for starter races.

Wicht

The ability modifiers were actually the main thing I agonized over in trying to balance the base race.

One solution for those worried its too effective is just to make it: +2 strength, +2 Wisdom, -2 charisma; leaving the constitution bonus for the Mereitaur.

I'm glad you liked it and rest assured that any race/class books I continue to do (such as the kappa book coming out next week) will also include the APG material.

Endzeitgeist

Now that's excellent news indeed! Looking forward to the Kappa-book!

Dark_Mistress

Nice review End, not get to cranking out more of them. :)

Rite Publishing

The Kappa book was delayed do to a correction that needed to be made.

I am very happy with what Jonathan did here on this design. As crazy and as hard as this was to get out, fate seems to have ultimatlly been on our side.

Thanks for the review End.

Eric Hinkle

I just read this book/PDF, and I want to say that I find this to be one of the very best 3rd party books for PFRPG. I really enjoy how the racial background and history of the Taurians were portrayed, and I think that the way it was done (as though being told to the reader by a Taurian) was handled very well.

The APG-style character class options were also well done and a joy to read. And I enjoy the Feats and the crunch for the Rog-Kalem class. My sole problem would be finding a place to set these bully boys and their kingdom in Golarion.

I hope you make offer more PDFs like this for the PFRPG monsters in the future, Rite Publishing.

I posted in the Gargoyle thread regarding other upcoming racial books and I won't repost it all here, but in short, we have three upcoming racial books (well, one was released already) all with a japanese/oriental flavor.

Ok, just finished this book, and posted a review here and at RGPNow..I have a feeling I'm about to not be so popular, lol. I love the manner in which the material is presented, the concept of the tale being told to us, that's pretty cool. And the material that is there is all pretty solid, but it was what wasn't there that let me down. I wanted to see more support for the cleric and druid. We are told within the tale that both classes are treated with great respect and honor, and yet neither of them even has a custom spell between them, and the cleric didn't even get any favorite class options.

For me the minotaur hold a special place, and there were things that I felt were missing when it came to a racial guide. What is there is good, heck, it's really good, but there was room for more.

Oh, and the one grammatical error in the entire thing? The name of our story teller. Page one his name is Lord Commander Merotes Halfhorn, page 8 his name is Mertos Astgraum Halfhorn..pretty good when you think of it, to go through 22 pages with only an error that the spell checker wouldn't catch anyway.

Thanks for the review KTFish7. Its very much appreciated.

This was the first racial book I worked on, converting it from a previous version, so if I was doing it again, I would like to think there were some things I would do different, or things I would add. Still, for a reviewer to like what was presented but be left wanting more is not, from my perspective, always a bad thing. :)

I love this book. I would love to see it in a data set for Hero Lab! Please Rite Publishing, I beg you to make a data set for this book for Hero Lab!!

Rite Publishing

I will pass it along to the volunteer Riters who work on the hero lab datasets.

Pauper Princess

Thank you so much! I have tried my darnedest to create the Rok-Kalem class in Hero Lab, but the scripting is way over my head. I'd love to have this material so that all the flavors of Taurians are available to create, especially the Paragon class. I have wondered why Paizo chose not to do anything with Minotaurs.

You do know the whole bit is in print as In The Company of Monsters

Pauper Princess

Yes, I don't have that book, I've only seen In The Company of Minotaurs first person. Our group is completely digital and the DM refuses to do pen and paper characters because of the mistakes that can be made, and I supsect he is afraid of some of his players trying to cheat and fudge a score here or there. He will only do character generation through Hero Lab. This is why I'm so desperate to have the Taurian data set from your book/books. I can't play my Rog-Kalem unless Hero Lab is generating it :(

Thank you for your consideration and quick responses RP!

Cheapy

You could program it yourself :) Races .. may be easy!

Pauper Princess

That's a great suggestion Cheapy, but if you read up-thread, I've already tried to make the Paragon Class Rog-Kalem in Hero Lab and the scripting eludes me. I have somewhat successfully made the Taurian race, but I've made several attemps at making the Rog-Kalem class and this girl just isn't adept at coding, scripting, etc. I would pay for the data set for In The Company of Minotaurs. I just can't seem to get it right when it comes to creating things this complex in the editor.

Rite Publishing

Yeah I know the problem, its had on Hero Lab coders when we do something innovative. I am looking into the idea of someone doing In The Company of Monsters (and hence this product).

Pauper Princess

It's not that this product, as well as your other products, can't be implemented into Hero Lab. I've been told what to look for and how to do things, but I just can't grasp it. So I know it can be done easily, but by people who are proficient with this code, i.e. not me lol.

Anything new with the possibility of ITCOM going HeroLab?

Pauper Princess

Hey guys, any update? Still want this for Hero Lab!!

Rite Publishing

Right now we are still trying to finalize Heroes of the Jade Oath for Hero Labs, then we are on to The Secerts of Adventuring, and then we will be looking at In the company of monsters (assuming the intern who is working on this does not stab me in the eye).

Pauper Princess

Yay! You have no idea how much this made my day(s)!

Rite Publishing

Well our intern became a paid employeed, We finished and released The secrets of advneturing right now he is working on all our monster books (templates, feats, and variants), and at the same time he is working on In the Company of Monsters (which includes minotaurs).

We are also looking at hiring a second coder or another intern.

Raymond Lambert

I just want to remind people. You can find a hell of a lot of minotaur artwork on Magic: the Gathering cards. Many commons worth no value, money or deck usage wise. You can cut out the art work and have a near perfect size large creature for PF/D&D.

(Disclaimer: There are several places online where gamers discuss the Tomb of Horrors in detail, so I decided to write this without spoilers so that prospective players of the adventure could see how their counterparts fared. So this post is quite generic in nature, and some will doubtless find it rather boring as a result.)
Most of my gaming time now is spent playing miniature wargames like Kings of War, but I started off playing Dungeons and Dragons back in 1979. And it's fair to say that the way we played D&D back then is more like the modern definition of wargaming than roleplaying (albeit with an 'army of one' per player - our characters) as we weren't interested in improvisational acting and getting into character.
Not that I'm knocking the theatrical approach to roleplaying - over the years I've run World of Darkness campaigns (most notably Vampire the Masquerade and Hunter the Reckoning) in which there was very little combat and the dice barely hit the table.
For some time now, I've been very interested in getting back to my roots and running the classic 1st edition Tomb of Horrors for my players. Unfortunately, I couldn't get anybody interested in the idea - the Tomb has such an infamous reputation!

(Actually, far from a desire to act as a 'killer DM' and wipe out the party, my motivation in wanting to run the Tomb has been a belief that my players are fully capable of making it through the tomb and I felt that it could prove to be a challenging and rewarding experience for them.)
Finally, my two oldest children decided that they'd try playing the Tomb of Horrors with me. (I suspect that a major motivation was 'let's get this over with so Dad will shut up about how much he wants to run it,' though they were also intrigued by the idea of taking on such a tough adventure.)
Currently, I prefer the B/X rules for Old School D&D gaming, as it's a wonderfully clutter free and playable game. In this instance, I was worried that this would make the experience too difficult, as 1st edition AD&D characters are more powerful than their B/X counterparts at higher levels, and they have access to many more utility spells that could prove helpful in the Tomb. So we did a rules 'mashup' in which we used the B/X rules with the AD&D spell lists and character classes grafted on.
In the end, this proved to be entirely unnecessary and if I get the chance to run the adventure again in the future, I intend to just use the official B/X rulebooks.
For anyone wanting to play the Tomb of Horrors, I'd suggest that the proper mindset for both the Gamemaster and the players is vital to making it an enjoyable experience. I would not spring this module on players without warning them about it first, nor would I have them take beloved personal characters through it.
In our case, I informed my players that although the Tomb has a well deserved reputation as being a 'thinking man's dungeon,' it's a 'bomb squad mentality' (proceed slowly and cautiously and thoroughly test everything) that is most helpful in the adventure. In addition, I told them that there are encounters in this dungeon that are very capricious and that they could expect to have characters die despite the fact that they as players hadn't done anything wrong.
(There is a 68 page long thread on the Tomb at enworld.org that is extremely helpful for the Gamemaster, and I based my approach on the material I found there.)
In our case, I made up character sheets for the twenty pregenerated characters in the module, and crossed out the lines for name and alignment as I wanted to encourage 'roll playing' over roleplaying for this particular adventure. I also prepped up 10mm figures for all the characters.
I intended to use the pregenerated characters in a 'revolving door' manner, with new characters joining the party (by arriving outside the entrance to the dungeon) after each fatality. With only two players, I had each run three characters, and I decided to start them with off with characters of average level for the adventure. Although the module is listed as being for characters of 10th-14th level, the pregens ranged in level from 6th to 14th, with 8th to 10th being average (there are only a few 12th to 14th level characters in the roster.)
In addition, I used the (lower) hit die types of the B/X rules, and I assigned each character average hit points rather than rolling for them.
I had the players roll randomly to see what replacement character they would receive (of each type: Mage, Healer, Warrior, Rogue) and in each case, they ended up with weaker characters than they had started with! Thus, the 10th level Dwarf fighter ended up being the 'powerhouse' of the party, due to her high hit points, low armor class, and great saving throws.
Clearly, this made for a much more challenging experience for the players than they would have had if they had started off with the resources available to some one running, say, a 14th level magic-user. I'm very proud of them for managing to succeed despite this handicap.
It took us four sessions to complete the tomb (with our final session being rushed due to my daughter needing to leave for her drive home) and in that time the players managed to make their way through the entire Tomb and to destroy Acererak with the loss of only three characters!!
As a GM I always try to be fair and to challenge my players but I think I tend to err on the side of being too easy on them at times. For instance, I tend to sometimes allow them to reroll especially poor rolls. For this particular adventure, however, I made a deliberate effort to 'toughen up' my style in order to make things more challenging for the players. (My daughter was especially annoyed at having to retain all the 1s she rolled when healing her Fighter - and she rolled nothing but 1s on seven out of eight healing rolls throughout the game!)
I think our first session was the most enjoyable, as the players were really intimidated at that point ('oh man - all our characters are going to die, I just know it!') and that made for a lot of suspense. The experience started off different from the norm for them right from the beginning ('what do you mean we have no idea where the entrance to the dungeon is?')
They came perilously close to losing half the party to the very first trap they encountered, but at the last second they changed their minds about how to approach the situation, and as a result only the fighter was injured, and she survived due to her high hit point total.
This was a trend that continued to repeat itself throughout the adventure, and it made for a dramatic experience for me as Gamemaster as I watched them approach situations that could have caused a TPK (or at least killed half the party) only to step back and take a different approach at the last second. It was difficult to maintain an impassive expression while that was going on!
To my great surprise, they didn't loose a single character in the first session, nor did they use any spells or magic items. They got through everything by using standard dungeoneering gear (rope, iron spikes, etc.) cautiously and creatively.
We resumed play the next evening with our second session, and by this point they were becoming accustomed to the Tomb. In this session the 8th level Elf Fighter/Magic-User died, and it wasn't until a later session that we realized that they had a cleric with the Raise Dead spell (all of our previous D&D games have involved low to mid level characters) so the loss should not have been permanent.
Curtis rolled for a random replacement character and I held my breath wondering if they'd get the 14th level Magic-User, but the roll came up '1' and they got the 6th level Elf instead!
Also in this session the Dwarf Fighter ended up losing all her gear - an indignity and inconvenience that annoyed the players more than the death of the Elf!
By the end of the session, both players were getting a little tired of slogging their way through the lethal traps and monster combats in the Tomb, and we took a two week break before resuming play.
Refreshed after our break, things went better in our third session. They had more close calls in this day than in the other three sessions combined, but all their characters managed to survive, despite barely escaping death by a hair's breadth on more than one occasion.
We were going to take another two week break before our final session, but they could tell they were almost at the end of the adventure, so we decided to press on with a final short session the next day. This had the unfortunate effect of making things rushed, but it was an enjoyable experience none-the-less.
The 6th level Elf died in another trap this session, and Curtis again rolled a '1' for his replacement, so they ended up with the 7th level Elf instead of the 14th level Magic-User!
This was the only time in which I 'coached' the players, by informing them that it was quite possible to defeat Acererak, and by suggesting that their best bet was to 'think outside the box' in order to come up with unconventional tactics. (This was due to how pressed for time we were in this final session. Otherwise, I would have quietly let them discover this on their own.)
Before they entered the final battle, Ashley stated that if they had played the adventure with beloved characters which they had built up over time, they would have simply taken the loot they had accumulated and run at this point, which was certainly a wise decision.
As it was, they deliberately had their characters try something risky and the Dwarf died a horrible death as a result, with no resurrection possible. However, Curtis came up with a clever way to combat the demi-lich and they destroyed the fiend as a result!
I suspect that they still would've managed this without my coaching, but most likely at the cost of losing more characters first.
When I asked them for their impressions of the experience afterward, both agreed that it was an extremely tough adventure, and very different from their previous D&D experiences. But they both enjoyed the Tomb and felt that finishing it gave them a real feeling of accomplishment.
As Ashley said afterward 'When you said there would be traps, I was expecting the modern RPG concept. Something like: Okay you enter the room and the door locks behind you. There is a pile of sand and a pool of water in the room, along with several stone pillars and two metal discs. Now you have to figure out how to use this stuff to disarm the trap and unlock the door. Well, the Tomb of Horrors is NOT like that!!'
