The reviewer misspelled the name of the campaign setting. This is EXTRA notorious bc it's the last word of the review. Imagine reading a review about a D&D product that ends with the words "Forgutten Realms". Jarring. The overall piece is not very informative, as well. Definitely hard agree...

Oh, yes they did! Plus, I always bring back that situation when they're about to try something obviously dumb.

An actual conversation I had with my players. Me: This monster is CR 24, you are 5 tier 3 level 8 PCs with half your resources. If you fight it, it will be a TPK. The monster is not even chasing you, it's just guarding this barren area. The party: *Fights anyway and gets killed"

Very good article! Spot on conclusions. Very weird for a couple of reasons that Lewis credited Antoine de Saint-Exupery as, among other things, "Frenchman" (lol) and yet that quote is at the core of what I consider inspired game design. If your core gameplay loop, mechanic or pilar is truly...

"(...)Giants, with their complex societies and often significant power, would similarly be considered more than mere beasts to be hunted for food.(...)" A bit late to the "Are goblin people?" debate, are we?. "For a Beastmaster Ranger, their primal companion is undoubtedly considered family...

For the record, I didn't fail that check. The image put me off so much that I didn't attempt it. But reading it now makes things even worse. "What if Robin Hood but bad" is another room reading fail in the times we live in, I'd say. "The common folk believe themselves oppressed and overtaxed"...

The subject matter for this duology of articles is VERY strange, to say the least! Can't say I didn't enjoy going down this rabitt hole, though. I have to give these classic movies a watch, I really enjoyed the original Conan movies.

An unncesary product, IMHO. Which is a bit sad because Paizo has been putting out banger after banger with the 2e remaster. I just got the last 2 books I was missing this week so I've completed the 4 base books collection for the remaster :D

Love how the women and the PoC look in awe at the imposibly tall and muscular white dude. Someone failed their room reading check.

Some people still saying that eurocentrism "Makes for less dense lore." is exactly the reason why we need articles like this one. Kudos to Lewis for identifying his byases. Great article.

Well, the word of the day is "Titbit". Awesome article and awesome series as usual!

Those metal dice look rad AF. Too bad they are so hard to read! Metal dice are very cumbersome too, IMO. Would love to see a slightly reworked hard plastic version of them.

Very cool article, and I love that you are trying to dissect this issue with such a cold approach! The article itself, as usual, could use with an extra editing pass ("Pursuing this success is a grand hobby and a worthy endeavor to pursue"). My experience and thoughts are very aligned with it...

Really puzzled by this. "A first party VTT for the most played TTRPG in the world" seems like a no-brainer to me. Capitalism gonna capitalism, I guess?

Been reading NPC Core and I love it. Very focused on diversity and working-class people. Another triumph for Paizo who seem to be the only big name RPG company at the forefront on these matters. I also dig what they did with orcs. Very much prefer this approach to the awful and problematic...
