@Mistwell, drop it, please. @Jacob Lewis, you too.

Jacob Lewis That would be another idea, but i still like my solution more, unless you would rule that inferior Magic weapons would not have to make two dice rolls. It has to be analysed statistically though. With a 2xd20 someone has found out a number which would reflect disad quite well it was -2 or so if i remember, so i guess 2 die rolls for weapon damage would result in about a -1 which would be desirable. Has to be analysed though.

Jacob Lewis Do you do weddings as well?

Well that just seems like a missed opportunity due to misplaced expectations, which is surprising since you suggest having some familiarity with "Descent". The two games play nearly the same, but I felt the Star Wars version had improved on a number of things, and not just thematically. The campaign structure is far more flexible allowing for more variety and greater repeatability. And while every expansion provides a new campaign or mini-campaign, each miniature expansion also offers a new mission that could be used in any of them. Personally, I don't want anyone to dismiss this game based only on your comments about a limited perspective/experience (no offense), so I'm just going to offer another perspective for balance. :) One thing to keep in mind is that the Imperial player is not a GM. He/she is, in fact, another player who is actively opposing the others who are playing together as a team. And since they're not challenging a programmed or static environment, the experience can vary depen...

The only time when a company can get away with telling its customers "Go to Hell". I dunno...Verizon and Facebook both seem to do ok with that, too.

I have tossed it down the elevator shaft many times. But it still keeps finding its way out. (I think Vecna might have a Hand in this.) Eye, I am sure he did!

"Kill the monsters, grab the loot" Virtually every D&D game ever. Kill monsters. Grab loot. Level up.

What about Dark Sun?! Why can't I play this in Dark... Oh! Guess that actually won't work without great bodies of water or ships. Hang on... There's the Silt Sea which is partially navigable with silt skimmers, which usually look like massive ship/wagon hybrids that work well in the shallows, or else silt ships that are levitated telekinetically via psionics. You just have to beware of all the giants. If you want a marsh there's the Salt Meres of Bodach. It's Athasian silt rather than water, but it's the same result.

106317 You mean sailed past :D Anyway, my liberal use of :D should've clued in you.

What about Dark Sun?! Why can't I play this in Dark... Oh! Guess that actually won't work without great bodies of water or ships. Hang on... Sure you can! Just replace any reference to sea or water with desert or sand :D ie, Isle of the Abbey. With hostility toward the Desert Princess running high, Eliander sponsors an expedition to clear Abbey Dune and establish a base there. Its location makes it an ideal lookout point for any desert-based threats. On a more applicable matter though, I recall a someone's re-imagined map of our world where all of the world's oceans and seas suffered from desertification, turning all the countries in the world into a great landlocked mass, it was glorious. Spelljammer! Why can't I play this with Spelljammer?! Sure you can! Just replace any reference to water with space :D Smuggler. Tool Proficiencies: Vehicles (space).

What happens if the 5e supplement outsells the PF2 product? If it's good, it's pretty much guaranteed to outsell the PF2 product. Because there are a lot more 5e players than PF players to start with, and not all of them will transition to PF2. I admit I'm surprised - this is Paizo signalling that they're willing to give up on having their own game line and go back to being a D&D 3rd party publisher. If they're going to do that why bother with a major revision for second edition PF at all? Why not just clean up Pathfinder into a 1.5 edition and dual-stat their books for Pathfinder and 5e?

Aah, the joys of Dodgeball training [emoji16]

Let me get this straight. Famous D&D video game designer of a legendary D&D video game franchise is hired by the publishers of the most popular edition of D&D as the head of a new video game studio for the company that owns D&D... but is NOT working on a D&D game??! Cmdr. Susan Ivanova: "Absolutely nothing happened in Sector 83 by 9 by 12 today. I repeat, nothing happened in Sector 83 by 9 by 12."

PF2 needs to innovate new ideas, cater to a differenf style(s) of play, offer a new narrative, or some combination of these. Otherwise its just another third-party clone. Yes - when they abandoned compatibility (with either Pathfinder or 5E) that's where they're headed. Obviously they're betting on reaching what no third-party D&D clone has ever achieved: mainstream success.

Or what? You're going to knock down my bike? Call me "chicken"? I hear "indian burns" are still making the rounds, but we can't call them that anymore. Sorry, I don't know the politically correct term because I stopped using these schoolyard tactics a long time ago. But challenge accepted! :) You admit you got the joke, which is what I was going for. The category was "Useless Numbers at MY Table". They never meant anything to me, and I have said as much every time it comes up. It wasn't a challenge or a slight, but there's always a "bunch of people" eager to find offense wherever they can. I've not taken those numbers or their value away from anyone else's table, did I? If I had, then you might have reason to complain. But at least I tried to make it amusing. Some people here did get it. So if you took offense, I did mean not mean to give it. But I don't know if that matters to you, or if you're just looking to make an issue of something you imagined buried under a pretty darn good joke....

I'll take Useless Numbers at My Table for $1000, Alex. I'm guessing Mr Lewis believes that his gaming table and play habits are unaffected by these numbers. Sorry, but you must phrase that in the form of a question. No, no, no. You picked a category. I gave an answer. You are supposed to supply the question. :)

I'll take Useless Numbers at My Table for $1000, Alex. I thought it looked like the board from Jeopardy. I didn't expect anyone getting so uppity about it. What's your issue? Balooney, in part. You said it looked like "useless numbers" to you. That's more than the joke about Jeopardy (though the Jeopardy joke is funny), you just look like you're backing off now on that part since bunch of people called you on it. If you call challenging your opinion as "uppity" that's fine, mark me down as uppidity. Now, can you elaborate on why you think these numbers are "useless"?

I thought it looked like the board from Jeopardy. I didn't expect anyone getting so uppity about it. What's your issue? I'll be honest, I was confused at first by your comments. But now ... I can't unsee it. Well played! :)

It looks like Jeopardy. You know, the game show? Whoosh... :-) Got it.

I'll take Useless Replies at My Message Board for $1000, Alex. What is your issue with this, Jacob? Or did you just think your snark was witty enough to share?

I'll take Useless Numbers at My Table for $1000, Alex. Huh?

There is a line between recognizing good long-term business decisions for a company and deciding what you want companies to make for you because you just really want it so bad. On the internet, that line is damn near invisible at times. True. But.... if enough of the fans want something, then that's probably something the companies should make. That the question of conversion comes up even on non-Paizo focused forums every six months should be a gauge of interest. Conversion is easy for anybody to do for themselves. For a company, however, that is an investment of time, resources, and production that could be used towards their own products rather than feeding someone else's. Right. That is true. But.... I'm arguing that the investment is particularly low for a conversion. Production costs are virtually nil for a PDF. The resources are also low, as the art and page assets are done. The InDesign page masters are finished. And the time in regards to the company is best measured in hours rather...

Geeze! Why does everything to do with D&D need to be treated like the biggest surprise ever? https://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Owl_488f3f_634242.jpg Because marketing like that extends the conversation, meaning more people are likely to come across it and get hyped.
