    The Pathfinder 2 Barometer! Vote your initial hot take!

    Basically it boils down to whether you like Starfinder and some of the options in Pathfinder Unchained. If you did, you'll most likely like Pathfinder 2e, if you didn't you probably won't. I'm in the latter camp and while I think some of the changes could be good, I suspect there will be more...

    Pathfinder 2E Will Pathfinder 2nd Edition Be Based on D&D 5E?

    From the minimal information we've received so far, it will take a lot of work to convert back to 1e.

    The Biggest RPG Story of the Year?

    AFAIK, Crafty Games still holds the license for Mistborn. FFG holds the license for Star Wars and has been producing SW RPG books for a year or so (it may be longer). My vote is for the Malazan Book of the Dead, though Warhammer Fantasy is a possibility as well since Green Ronin previously...

    Nova Wars Baby!

    Good stuff, keep it coming. I may finally be motivated to paint some of my Sci-Fi miniatures.

    Nova Wars Baby!

    I still review the thread, usually once a year. I haven't run a Sci-Fi d20 Modern game since '07, but is more my player's taste than mine.

    Pathfinder 1E Crafting and Customization

    So it looks like I'll be running a game towards the end of the year if all goes well. I'm prepping ahead of time and one of the activities the group I will GMing for enjoys is crafting. I'd like to add some depth for them and really allow some cool custom gear. I'll be using Making Craft Work by...

    What if?

    If you hew to the on/off switch and rounds per level be prepared for additional record keeping which could be annoying or have a detrimental affect on your game.

    Detecting Spells as They Are Cast--Outside of Combat

    It could be a bluff or sleight of hand check, it really depends on the spell and how you role-play the deception

    Help! How do I post a review

    I have a review I want to post, but when I go to the review section of the web site and click on the category tools drop down list and choose post a new review I'm taken to here and unable to create a review. The same thing happens when I click the new review button. Thanks

    Detecting Spells as They Are Cast--Outside of Combat

    Attempting to hide the casting of spell in plain sight is best modeled using an opposed skill check. The caster would roll Bluff versus the crowds' Perception. If the crowd succeeded all they would know is that the caster is doing something strange, not necessarily casting a spell though they...

    New Iron Kingdoms Pathfinder conversion

    Agreed, the only big change was basing hit point loss from creating items from XP to the GP. Everything else still works the same for item creation. The next version will begin a Pathfinderization of the IK rules so expect to see the Circle Druid and Fell Caller as archetypes, and the Arcane...

    Arcane Archer as a Magus Archetype

    Stop reading my mind, its disturbing. :p

    Adventuring Classes: For a Few Denarii More (now taking requests)

    Courtier/Emissary: I'll echo the concern about the concepts might be too similar to warrant separate classes. Regarding the Courtier, how much will it resemble the Courtier base class from Rokugan/Swashbuckling Adventures?
