    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder Treasure Vaults (Remaster) Updates A Ton Of Magic Gear

    Not yet, I got the same email you did, I haven't even looked at the start shipping date.

    Starfinder Anyone has insight on Starfinder 2E?

    I think that the answer to that question hinges very heavily on the specific nuance of "PF2E design decisions that you feel aren't the Best Decisions for Starfinder 2e" like some people have said they feel that way, but their apprehension is usually before playing it, or is revealed to be based...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder Treasure Vaults (Remaster) Updates A Ton Of Magic Gear

    It do be like that sometimes, I got jump scared by my Lost Omens sub for Shining Kingdoms the other day, I'd literally forgotten about it.

    Starfinder Starfinder 2E: The Galaxy Guide is out - first book for SF2E

    Possibly, there's a lot I missed on my first run through the book-- I keep finding random feats that give ancestries more than two hands, and I've only recently read enough of Sarcesian to start falling in love with them after finding them a home in my homebrew world, Contemplatives were really...

    Pathfinder to Release Lost Omens: Draconic Codex in December

    I'm hype for the archdragons in draconic codex, the wargamer article confirmed that each will have a big knock your socks off ability to make them memorable. Even if my current game falls through beforehand im feeling the call of high level play.

    Pathfinder 2E Why are all the magic items so boring?

    I like it as both a player and a GM, one of the big reasons is that I never really liked gentleman's agreements to control for optimization in a party, and I really enjoy the whole character optimization side, so the game having a no-nonsense attitude about game balance feels much better-- the...

    Paizo Matt Mercer, Felicia Day Play Pathfinder in Charity Stream

    I think its just her sense of humor and I don't think she really took it too far. I wouldn't say any of the other players felt uncomfortable with it for example-- I think she just had it in her head that she wanted to ham it up.

    Pathfinder Gets A New CRPG...Sort Of

    Its a little complicated, basically Luck has a standing grudge against the Japanese (from what I understand, due to historical stuff) and see's Japanese cultural elements from the space (e.g. fantasy samurai/ninja and stuff) to be racist against other Asians, so was using the concept of...

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    I think there's just fundamentally different dimensions to the concept of dead, but I think the biggest one is more or less which direction the factors are pointed in, in terms of it's community. It's possible for a game that doesn't get new product to be building on a healthy community, but...

    Pathfinder 2E Storm Druid: Animal Companion or No?

    I think it works well, the main piece of advice I can give you is to maximize your total number of focus points if possible as fast as possible because your lightning focus spell is so good but I'm not sure if that's the kind of thinking you were discouraged from. The only anti-synergy is that...

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    To me, it's a standard of discourse thing, most of the time when I see people drawing an explicit distinction, it's usually that they don't want to be held to the standard of a debate, but to my mind the standards of debate are just standards of validity and soundness-- I don't like leaving the...

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    I try not to get into the weeds of "Isn't Debating" and don't tend to approach the concept of debate as discrete from other forms of persuasion or exploration, debate is simply expressing and supporting a position from the perspective of contrasting it with other possible positions.

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    I always preferred the franklin forum model: "all debate seeks the truth" thats what I did in High School, discussion forum of the day's issues.
