    Pathfinder 2E I played my first PF2e game this week. Here's why I'm less inclined to play again.

    PF1 fixed one of biggest issues I had with 3.5 by simply using CMB/CMD. The only other major issue I have is when there are stacking bonuses at high levels (which are still there in PF1). So many bonus types.... I think my ideal D&D is somewhere between 3.5/PF1 and D&D 5E 2014 (but certainly...

    Pathfinder 2E I played my first PF2e game this week. Here's why I'm less inclined to play again.

    I'm still happily playing PF1. PF2 veered too much into the D&D 4E-like sphere for my interest. (Which makes it so surprising they went there considering PF1 flourished because of D&D 4E.) But, since there are about 1,000,000 PF1 supplements and adventures, I would not have needed PF2 anyway.

    D&D General Best D&D product of any edition (non-core book)

    Oh - one I forgot: Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue (2E) Jam-packed with coolness. :)

    D&D General Best D&D product of any edition (non-core book)

    My faves (not including core rules): Faiths & Avatars (and it's 2 companions, Powers & Pantheons and Demihuman Deities, 2E - made playing clerics a lot more interesting to me) Planescape Box Set (2E) (And, really, the entire Planescape line.) Encyclopedia Magica series (2E) Ruins of...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    Unlikely. The Wilderlands is much, much bigger than the City State and Environs. (The City State and the surrounding area is all in Map 1 of the Wilderlands. There are 17 other Wilderlands maps covering other areas that are the same size as Map 1.)

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    I'm interested to see what happens with the GG CSIO Kickstarter. As a $145 backer of the failed 2014 CSIO Kickstarter, it would be nice to actually get a refund (if the GG one actually happens and succeeds). I really wanted the Wilderlands full color printed maps that were to come with the...

    D&D General A Quick Peek At Tiamat In Amazon's 'Secret Level' Anthology TV Show

    The closest I can find is a sentence in the 2E product "On Hallowed Ground" which has a sentence that reads: "Her realm, hidden in the hills of Avernus, is a sprawling cave complex guarded by her offspring and her lovers." I'm guessing there's a Dragon article somewhere that precedes this...

    The Knave And The Bold

    I can't see me ever using Knave by itself as a game, but those charts are really, really fantastic for any FRPG.
