Double post and I can't see where to delete it.

The thing I think that gets missed and I do blame Williams and the board for was the lack of understanding of TSR's cost model. In the end all the Random House deal did was delay the inevitable as it became a backup cash infusion. Overprinting and storage of product in that giant warehouse they...

Plus the 1st printing selling out so there was at least a bit of time where it wasn't as available as it normally would be (sold out at publisher is of course very different then sold out everywhere)

it will be interesting to watch, especially with the different economics of scale going on. We know the player base that was buying product for PF1 decreased over time (Paizo wouldn't have done a new edition otherwise) to the point where it couldn't sustain Paizo. However, Legendary or I think I...

Or there saies are good enough that they need to fill those positions. They are usually pretty conservative on their hiring practices so they don't bring people on until they need them.

I don't think they are doing any reprints other than doing the paperbacks of the books that didn't get one yet.

So first off not a prediction, just that that would be the next data point. And that data point is that the APG is at the moment the top non D&D gaming product on Amazon (and not the weird one off CRPG books that pop up). That would be what I would expect for PF sales from now on they aren't...

I am thinking more like Monsters of Horror, Monsters of the Occult, etc. More of a story type collection of monsters, instead of monsters by type.

Roll20 has the rulebooks and Fall of Plaguestone available for purchase until recently. Extinction Curse and the first Agents of Edgewatch are now availalble. One thing to note is the note in the report that many systems that went down in percentage actually added games. So for example PF1 more...

It is a Troop of Skeletons, the troop rules are in this Bestiary.

I believe they said there would be feats you could take to get the full nine tails, but I got the impression it wouldn't be all of your ancestry feats, but we will find out early 2021.

Thursday at 1pm EDT there is a Paizo announcement Seminar at GenCon Online (Paizo 2020 and beyond), with a Q&A to follow. We should get some more 2021 books announced there.

Victory Points, the idea is that for complex challenges I did one with Investigation Points, where the party was investigating a village for clues. The nice thing is you can do something like the chase rules where each specific thing they investigate needs a certain number of points to...

Not really. You obviously can get your casters to the point where they are down to just cantrips left. Even focus spells allow you to regain a focus point with a 10 minute rest.

Actions and reactions might be the biggest strategic resource for Fighters and rogues. Rogues especially can have a lot of different reactions to choose from each round and only one to use. But as of now, and this can change as new books come out, they don't have as many strategic resources.
