I'm trying to figure out how to best structure the list of playable races for my #Ustalav campaigns in my #HouseRules.

I could list all the 0-HD races in Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Races that are not permitted as playable characters, then list all the races that are not in Inner Sea Races that are permitted, or I could just provide a recommended list and say anything that is not on the recommended list we should talk about first.

31 Arodus 4588 AR: Infamous Dr. D. leaves first cryptic letter (#Caliphas, #Ustalav)
The mysterious killer, known only as Dr. D., commited his first killings in the Ustalavic city of Caliphas, leaving a cryptic letter for the authorities.

I'm still procrastinating creating the stat block for my vampire pumpkins.

I have a pretty good idea of what I want them to be like now, it's just a matter of generating the stat block.

I've been procrastinating for two weeks now. I don't fully know why.

I am thinking about giving them the ability to root themselves that Glutton Grass has.

I'm thinking about #Pathfinder1e adventures suitable for level one in #Ustalav. One idea is dealing with a possession by a low CR entity.

I like the idea of using Ritual Exorcism from Occult Adventures, but the failure effect (a temporary negative level for all casters+4d6 damage for primary caster) is fatal at level 1.

I might make a weaker version of the #ritual (only affects low CR entities) with a less severe failure effect. Maybe "folk exorcism."

I might give my vampire pumpkins the ability to keep the blood on which they feed fresh for later consumption by vampires, which would make them desirable for actual vampires to keep around.

I'm developing a #Pathfinder1e monster.

The monster idea is a Vampire Pumpkin for my #Ustalav campaign(s).

Creature is a Tiny Plant with...
--Reach of 5 ft. (unusual for Tiny).
--Attach (Ex) on Bite.
--Bite as a Medium creature.
--Grab (Ex) on tendril attacks.
--Blood Drain (Ex) in a grapple.
--Freeze (Ex) (as jack o'lantern).

I haven't decided on the CR or HD yet. I'm feeling like CR of 2 to 5.

Since my regular #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav group has gone into long-term hiatus, I'm looking to recruit more local players for a mini-campaign (3-5 sessions) with the possibility of more to follow.

I'm writing an explanation of all the variant rules and house rules I employ so it is available for potential players.

I created a Neocities account so I can host the rules page outside of social media.

Anyway, my WIP Variant Rules and House Rules document is here:

I finally heard back from one of the members in my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav group that is in the couple that are dropping out.

He said they will be interested in resuming later, but he's not sure how long it will be.

So I told him I'll just consider the game on long-term hiatus again, and look to get my fix by recruiting some players for one-shots in the meantime.

I'm thinking about running some one-shots in the same campaign backdrop so I can use them as world-building.

In the saga of my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav campaign scheduling, I sent a message to confirm that the remaining players were good for our gaming resume date, and one player in a couple messaged me that they can't resume at that time.

Without them, I don't really have a game; the remaining player has not responded to any scheduling stuff and mainly plays because she's best friends with one of those two players.

So I asked if they wanted me to postpone of if they wanted to drop out permanently.

The university campus is located within the town itself. It has a library known to house some dangerous volumes.

I decided to take a series of pictures of my painted #miniatures today.

These four images are:
DGS Rebel Maiden #121006
(front and back)
Reaper MIniatures Gauren Necropolis Hero #14168
Reaper Miniatures Pathfinder Troll #60021

These aren't recently painted, they're just some I don't think I've posted before.

These are painted for my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav campaign.

Also, Ailson Kindler's probably just not very likely to get used as much anymore since F. Wesley Schneider isn't with #Paizo anymore. I think she was one of his mouth-pieces for #Ustalav.

So I have two greater #barghest miniatures but I haven't figured out how I want to integrate them into my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav campaign. I'll probably bring them in as mythic greater barghests leading goblins.

I noticed in #Pathfinder2e the barghest has an alignment of CE but in #P1e their default alignment is LE like in D&D3.x. I'm thinking about changing them in my P1e campaign to CE as it makes more sense if they follow Lamashtu, who is a CE demon lord in #PathfinderRPG.

It was bound to happen.
One of my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav players has informed me that he won't be able to rejoin the game when we resume at the end of July.

He's dropping out with good reason. He's starting an evening training program that will interfere with his ability to see his family during the week so he wants the weekends to spend with his family.

He said he might have more availability again beginning June 2024, so I told him I'd check back with him then.

My #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav group hasn't played since 2019. I'm trying to schedule to resume at the end of July presently.

Two players seem good with the date, one is dependent on when his wife's surgery gets scheduled, and one has not responded but usually seems good with the dates and doesn't respond.

I'm tentatively planning on the 29th of July, basically one month out.

I have a few NPCs I want to finish before then so I have the option to use them that session.
