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...

Paizo's books are definitely an order of magnitude better than D&D books. Organization wise, inclusion wise, mechanics wise, etc. That being said, this particular book, IMHO feels a bit unnecessary. Just like some meetings could have been emails, this book could have been an errata sheet. No...

Damn, Lewpus invented rolling to confirm crits? Nice! I know it's an extra step, but it allowed to "unchain" the critical hit rules from just fishing for a 20 and in turn created a lot of interesting mechanics for 3e, such as the scimitar vs longsword dilema and the Weapon Master.

"We're making a very innovative monster book." --- Proceeds to increase enemy HP by +75%. Do these people even play the game they're making?

Got an update on this? Very curious to see how the session turned out!

PF2E on Froundry is probably the best non-in person TTRPG experience I've ever had. I DMed a game from lvl 2 to 20 (finished last Saturday) and it was a blast to play. It's also dirt cheap compared to other options, since it's just the single 50$ license that only 1 person needs to purchase...
