The iconic witch's face looks far too benevolent - almost doll-like. Something about the aesthetics of 2e is just very unappealing to me. Brown-ish colour schemes for the books and consistently awkward, garish art imo.

Is this actually being developed? I think it could be incredibly useful and would be keen to pick it up. I've been enjoying your Character Codex series.

Yeah, maybe. Hadn't really considered that. Always thought it was more of a wargame property. Thanks for the suggestion. Will look in to it.

I was quite excited for Starfinder when it first released. However, I'm finding, as with the latest iteration of Pathfinder, the pre-written adventures are not grabbing my attention and I do not have time/inclination to write my own. I'd like something a few shades darker than the official...

It happens every time WoTC release a new book, according to these review round-ups.

It must be somewhat exasperating for Paizo that the most online buzz they've managed to generate since the release of PF2 is from this change in terminology. Nobody ever wants to discuss their recent Adventure Paths in such depth. Or at all, it seems.

To be clear, I'm not upset by Paizo changing language in their game as they deem appropriate. I just find it unusual which aspects of the game require application of real world contemporary social mores and which are exempt from such expectation.

Well, perhaps I should have phrased it as "a central conceit" then. Apologies for careless use of the definite article. My point stands, though, that we seem oddly specific in which aspects of the game we deem inappropriate.

Then why is so much design space given over to combat and combat abilities?

The whole sensitivity to language and the offence it can cause sits very strangely with games where the central conceit is killing others.

Every one of these review round ups I've clicked on here for a new WotC book has the overall grade somewhere in the range of A. Whether reviewers are being disingenuous with this rating or not, it's not really helpful, making it difficult to identify the stand out releases. It does appear...

I used to love Paizo adventures too. However, I haven't been interested in running/playing one of their adventures since Ruins of Azlant in 2017. None of the recent Pathfinder releases appeal and, sadly, I do not feel compelled to purchase any of the Starfinder adventures either. Something about...

Awesome. Ever since I was a kid I've daydreamed of being a fairly effective wizard in a land of high adventure.

I'm almost the complete opposite. I find the 5e section of Art and Arcana to be by far the least riveting. The early - mid period stuff is fascinating.

I'm not sure either. As I mentioned, I haven't read any of the new material. However, I have seen the comment made semi regularly online and thought it could be relevant to the choice of tag.

I've seen a number of comments online that suggest the setting has a markedly different tone between the two editions. Personally, I haven't read any P2 setting material, so do not know if this is an accurate claim. However, it could explain the P1 tag. The OP is interested in the original...

Awesome. I'd love a Julzakama card. That guy's great.

I'm currently running The Skinsaw Murders. It's pretty dark as written, and is good for our current group with little need for embellishment or sanitisation. My last campaign was set in Irrisen, and that was very dark. But that's the only way to run Irrisen IMO.

Agree. Voted 3.x, which I figured represented PF1. I haven't really bought any "D&D" style gaming material since PF1 went OOP. Still have 1000s of hours of material left to play through. Not being a big fan of the current iterations of the game (either PF2 of D&D5,) is saving me a fortune.

I title sessions. Usually nothing terribly inspired, often just the chapter of the module in question. Players can see the titles in the session synopses I post on our FB group, although I doubt they often pay much attention. Current campaign: BO:01 Attack on Sandpoint BO:02 Catacombs of Wrath...
