Whether we ever see that happening is anyones guess but it'd make the 500+ page CRB a lot more accessible.

I've been reading the same thing on the Paizo boards.

The quality of products for Pathfinder is really starting to astound me.
They're either making money in buckets ...
or getting bank-rolled by one of the Kardashians.

The consistency of their material is remarkable.
I bought the Gazetteer and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
It's just a modified European setting, but it sure is compelling.

My suggestion was not to modify the CRB.
It seems like they could add an intro section to future editions (it could even be detachable/removable).
The intro could come straight from the BB.

Good stuff :-)

P.S. Another milestone: This is my "number of the beast" post.

Well, the box is brand new.
In fact, my son bought it for me at Barnes & Noble.
We played several Avalon Hill games back when I was a kid, but we never played this one, so this is a first for me.
Pretty neat game overall.

Thanks for the link.

Ahhh. I remember waht alternate game was I thinking of.
Anyone played the Xeno games World at War?

If you guys like Lovecraftian adventures, Paizo has an Adventure Path series called Carrion Crawl.

I read part of it in the bookstore today with an overpriced cup of coffee.

The AP series all start at 1st-level, so you might be able to use this in conjunction with the BB to run a campaign.

A few times, long ago.

It was like "Third Reich", IIRC, except the rule book was readable and the map was the size of a bedspread.
