As much as I am loving running Abomination Vaults (see me gushing about it in the “I Feel at Peace” thread), it is a massive full scale dungeon delve that will take over a hundred hours to complete (based on my calculations it will take our group at least 30 four hour sessions) and is...

Some updates: In Legacy of Fire the characters got the scroll they were looking for in the tomb (and a one-shot item, the rod of resurrection, for a PCs personal quest to resurrect his wife, they also found a glass dagger that when used breaks and gives the effect of finger of death in addition...

Played the third session of Abomination Vaults this weekend. My thoughts:I forgot to mention last time but I used the start at the entrance to the ruins opening. However, I used Decuma during session 0 so most of the characters already had connections with each other and the town. It worked...

Due to my new job and losing the last of my original players of Serpent's Skull to real life, I decided to end the AP and switch to a new adventure/AP with the remaining players (and people interested in PF2e but not at starting at LV8). After a vote our next AP was determined to be Abomination...

I don’t know my about the beginner’s box so it might be different using pregens, but I have been having great success using Decuma (got a pdf of drivethru) during session 0. It really works great to pull the party together and kickstart roleplay.

I certainly can! Last Second Sidestep Play when you are targeted by a ranged Strike. The Strike automatically misses. Over here! Run and Shoot Play when you take a Stride action. You make a ranged Strike at any point during this movement. Remembering to breathe is the hard part. Reverse...

At the request of one of my players, I have been using the critical hit deck for a while now and it has been working really well (we use it any time a player rolls a critical hit and any time a creature of at least the players level rolls a critical hit) so I unilaterally decided to try out the...

So my fixes to the adventure revolve mostly about adding three new mechanical structures (shocking I know) in order to emphasize academic advancement, the passage of time, and the adventure paths theme of community. The first structure will be a new advancement system based on community service...

I figured I would summarize and review the next part in SoT. I am not going to compare it to Strixhaven this time because the adventures diverge in structure and I don’t think there’s any useful info to be gleaned. What I am going to do is suggest my changes and fixes to this adventure (in a...

Some thoughts: First, I don’t think the subforum is dead since by the time I can get through the storms that are happening here to an internet connection where I can post there’s been over 55 comments. Second, google is weird about indexing pathfinder 2e videos. You need to search for...

I wrote a summary/mini-review/comparison of the first adventure of SoT and Strixhaven in this very forum. I haven’t had a chance to run the SoT adventures though, still doing prep. Overall, I like the adventure path but I am going to slightly restructure everything past the first adventure to...

(Not sure where to put this, so I chose here because it’s where I mostly post; also disclaimer: I own SoT but I just read through a borrowed Strixhaven at my local gaming store while I was waiting to play battletech and made notes) Since these two Not-HogwartsTM magic-school adventures have...

I ran a one-shot for Halloween that I’m pretty pleased with. It was a conversion of the Call of Cthulhu scenario Cold Warning. It went very well and was a lot of fun. Conversion was easy because the (1920s) Call of Cthulhu is usually very similar in how you set up a pathfinder 2e horror...

This is getting a bit off topic but: The problem people are having in the other thread are that they are playing a system heavily slanted towards Combat as War and are having their characters try to accomplish something difficult without giving any thought on how they can do it effectively or...

To build a retreat system you should first define what you mean by retreat and what you want to accomplish by retreating. So just thinking of my games off the top of my head, retreat can mean any of these things: Backing off to deescalate conflict. The characters ask: are we fighting this thing...

I am apparently super ranty today: The encounter taken is from the Slithering. It is a common encounter. The characters are using basic tactics and playing into their strengths rather than mindlessly moving from room to room. You are confusing this for being very lucky because you are only...

Warning: Three thousand word, barely coherent rant incoming. First: check out this chart of an AP modules breakdown of monsters by level (specifically Abomination Vaults part 2: Hands of the Devil). LEVEL NUMBER PERCENT SUM -4 7 8% 8% -3 14 16% 24% -2 16 18% 42% -1 11 12% 54% 0 17...

I disagree slightly. I have run a fair number of set-pieces and I think PF2e is excellent at running them (especially compared with my experiences with 1e). Speaking of styles/types of play and what the game is good at, though. Here is a rundown of the ways I have played Pathfinder 2e and how I...

So as a cleaning professional I have an opinion on the dust story. Assuming that the janitor was an employee of Paizo and the conversations from years ago are being reproduced correctly, why didn’t anyone get them a vacuum they could use with their bad back so they can actually do their job?

So I normally wouldn’t touch stuff like this, and it’s probably a bad idea posting this, but I figured this might be helpful to others who, like me, can’t figure out twitter. It is my intent to present the allegations concisely and without comment and I apologize for any errors in advance as I...
