Observations of the Fox

I'm not going to say I don't like Pathfinder after last night's session, But the honeymoon period is over. It's not the fault of the game, and the GM has admitted that it's his first time GMing anything, and he is normally a Warhammer miniatures gamer. I made a character for telling stories with, he just wants "dice fest combat". It think there were warning signs in the last game, but they got ramped up in this one. I attempted to go shopping with the character, to buy something from the books in a marketplace that he claimed was as big as a city and stocked everything you could possibly desire.

A human monk with a penchant for hanging out in bars after recently leaving his order. An elven wizard who focusing on herbalism and alchemy, who has decided to become the core of the region's drug empire (hoping to absorb other existing drug cartels into his ring, or annihilate them) A gnome rogue who can diplomatically persuade and charm almost anyone, after spending almost an entire human lifetime on the high seas as a specialist in the piratical art of the "parlay"...and who rides a combat training giant gecko. That's where we started. Character generation started at 7pm, and used a single copy of the Pathfinder rulebooks between four people (two of whom had never played a tabletop RPG, only computer RPGs...and a first time GM). By the time we had an understand...
