Recent Updates
3-8-12: Pathfinder's polymorph rules, explained. With extra platypus.
2-19-12: Phew, been a while, eh? Behold: Icons. This is my first entrepreneurial endeavor. Wish me luck!
12-19-11: A new L-Board for LNOE: The Drive-In. As if Escape in the Truck wasn't easy enough...
11-30-11: Turns out it was easier to fix than I anticipated. Getting Google to turn off their warning messages, however, is another matter. Unfortunately, all comments were lost. The comments still exist in a database, but they're no longer linked to pages (and I can't fix that). Future comments won't have that problem.
11-27-11: Ah it seems like yesterday, the last time my site was hacked. In fact it was two years ago, but it took me nearly a year to fix it. This may be the death knell of Dorkistan.com as a hobby site for me. Should it return, it'll be under a format that I don't have to maintain. Till then, this page is all that (officially) remains.
10-15-11: Added the Ivalice Campaign Setting, a work in progress. Written by Francisco Castillo.
7-16-11: No new updates recently (new job and whatnot), but check out the Mor Aldenn Creature Compendium (my contribution is the gaiant), 80 Awesome Feats... and 2 Crappy Ones (the crappy ones are mine), and Monstrous Races: Second Horde.
4-15-11: Added the Variant Undead Templates.
3-26-11: I've sort of been on hiatus for a few weeks. I'm working on a ton of freelance stuff, so most of my creativity is being channeled in that direction. Good news is that soon (end of the year?) I'll have enough for-print work to add a portfolio section. Also, I've begun work expanding the Patfhinder Reference Document to include the Advanced options that Paizo has added to their page, as well as a special treat for a friend. (E6 anyone?) Look for those updates in... April?
2-9-11: Nothing too impressive, just a neat new armor and special material for Pathfinder. It's almost like I'm avoiding working on anything big. Oh wait. That's exaclty what I'm doing.
2-3-11: Nothing too impressive, just a neat wand feat.
1-15-11: Kobold Quartly #16 featured an article of mine attributed to another author. An oversight, I'm sure, but annoying none-the-less. What article? "Dancing Brooms, Scittering Scones".
12-27-10: Another Kobold blog article: Chimney Daemons. Dorkistan fans may recognize the origin. When I heard about the PFRPG Bestiary 2 and the daemon write up, these chaps fit perfectly.
12-13-10: More Kobold blog articles: Variant Undead Templates Part 1 and Part 2. I'll eventually add these to my site (they're OGC) - some good stuff was cut. (This also officially replaces the previous mold gaunt, which will only remain online as long as it takes me to add these tempaltes.)
11-28-10: Create a new faction from your mercenaries! Bishop Tane, summoner of the Mercenaries and his host of powers.
11-25-10: Now you can play Summoner Wars online, for free! Thanks to me and the VASSAL Engine. Don't expect to know how to play if you haven't bought the game though, amiright? Download the module here.
10-14-10: Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Two new uses for the Spellcraft skill: Quiet and Subtle Spellcasting. Don't want everyone in the tavern knowing you're about to skip out on the bill? This skill is for you.
9-23-10: Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: A new use for the Bluff skill Play Dead. Imagine those tricksy goblins snickering to themselves as they wait for you to get closer.
9-17-10: Advice and Explanation for the Pathfinder grappling rules! If you don't understand grappling after this... get a new hobby.
8-11-10: Inspired by the Advanced Player's Guide and KQ #14, I present Advanced Options for Tengu PCs. This is also the first 'races' entry on Dorkistan. W00T!
6-14-10: Inspired by Know Direction #11, I've codified my own impromptu Linguistics (with a smattering of Diplomacy) rules. Also, why isn't Linguistics a Knowledge skill?
5-25-10: New skill use for Craft (weaponry) to get more effectiveness out of your piercing, bludgeoning, or slashing weapons.
4-18-10: How far does a goblin holding onto a pigeon fall? Expanded falling rules for Pathfinder. (Note: these rules do not actually answer the goblin/pigeon question.)
4-17-10: With the help of Paizo fan James B. Cline Dorkistan presents a new adventure: Chopper's Isle for 3rd-level characters.
4-12-10: More new monk feats, this time thank Capcom! Ki Focus and Hadoukyen. They're also available on the monk page.
4-4-10: Added the Three Dimensional Range Finder. The same tool I've used at home forever, now available in the digital world!
3-22-10: New dangerous locale: The Room of Ropes; a CR 3 encounter driven by rope trick and animate rope.
3-21-10: New feats for the arcane archer in you! Binding Shot and Improved Enhanced Arrows. Also an update to section 15.
3-9-10: A bevvy of new monk feat ideas, so I collected them on the monk page.
3-07-10: Your target fell before you ran out of flurry attacks? No problem: New feat: Flying Sleeves, another feat for monks.
2-26-10: Added sword of Thamuz to artifacts.
2-20-10: New feat: Crane Strike, another feat for monks.
2-15-10: 2-15-10: New feats: Cogent Flurry, a feat for improving a monk's flurry of blows; and Spell Strike, a feat for the arcane meleeist.
2-11-10: New Knowledge skill: Warfare, the skill of commanders and kings.
2-04-10: New encoutner for Pathfinder: Warduke, a PFRPG conversion from Dungeon #105.
1-31-10: Added a new section for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Encounters. First up: The Chimney Men, a street gang of noble youths.
1-23-10: Added a new creature for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: the Migou Himilayan beast of legend.
1-21-10: Added a new section to the site: LNOE (which stands for Last Night on Earth, a Zombies vs. Humans board game from Flying Frog Productions). I've got two creations for this game: What is that Stuff? (a scenario) and The Wax Museum (a map).
1-19-10: The new Dorkistan reference document project can finally begin in ernest, as I've finally completed Pathfinder Reference Dot Com, a user-friendly (and soon search-able and package-able) website, with *just* the content available under Paizo's PRD.
1-7-10: Added an alternate Wizard class, the reliquary: a gem-wielding spellcaster capable of impressive displays of carebare rainbow power.
12-30-09: Added a new prestige class, the Gunmarshall: the free-roaming law-men of magic-bereft Alkenstar.
12-25-09: Added mind flayer, a creature that in no way infringes on the intellectual property of WotC. Nope.
12-20-09: Added the serpentine crown to artifacts.
12-7-09: Added an alternate Fighter class, one focused on being not boring.
11-22-09: I'm working on something awesome. Normally, something this awesome I wouldn't mention until it's done, because the more awesome something is, the more work it usually is, and the more work something is the less likely I'll finish it, but this time I'm sure to finish, it is just that awesome. Stay tuned for the Dorkistan Reference Document. Oh man that's a lot of awesome.
11-08-09: Added Battlemage, the premire arcane warrior.
10-22-09: Added alternate favored enemy class feature for the Ranger.
10-21-09: Added Proselyte, a spontaneous divine spellcaster.
