So this is a reminder that table 10-4 exists (and should be the default for non-leveled tasks). As characters levels up, as long as they are at least trained, they become increasingly better at most skill based tasks.

There are more possibilities: perhaps you are using the wrong gamemaster “tools”/skillset with pathfinder 2e? If other dnd derived games may be successful run with skillsets A, B, and C and Pf2e may be successful run with skillsets B, C, and D, you may have trouble running pf2e despite being a...

So I just finished my Legacy of Fire game session and since I was logging in anyways to upvote @Philip Benz (thank you for sharing your experiences btw), I figured I would give an update now instead of in a couple weeks. First of all the maps: I knew that almost the entire session was going to...

I’m stuck at home with a migraine so have an update: Out of curiosity I calculated the combat times for my last five sessions. My average combat time is about 31 minutes, median is 24 minutes, and the maximum was 86 minutes (the pugwampi nest). Here is the list of combats if anyone is...

Exactly this! What happens when after defeating the giant spider, you say to the players: you hear the sounds of many, small feet coming from the corridor to the north! After attempting to identify what exactly what is approaching via the sound of footfalls alone (and failing), do you...

Everyone can write shorter, better more concise rules for a rules heavy, medium crunch game like pf2e… right up until they playtest the material. Then it turns out that half the people read your nice concise rule completely differently than you intended and the other half encountered some edge...

Good news, that is not how Follow the Expert works: You may be conflating it with the Quiet Allies skill feat which is used in combination with the Follow the Expert rule to prevent situations like this.

I know I shouldn’t feed the fire but … since it’s topical: this video by Seth Skorkowsky explains the very basics of how to do it in a system agnostic way as tip #3 (with illustrations and a skit; his reviews of modules are also super helpful and well worth checking out).

So it been a while, and I figured I would update about the games I’m running in case anyone is interested. Legacy of Fire We played our second session of Legacy of Fire last week. In this session the players started tackling the monastery and cleared most of the first floor. This session was...

That is a great idea; unfortunately we are far behind you (and I only play in person so I don’t prep or need VTT stuff). My group is just about to leave Kalabuto (where they played through a mashup of Carrion Hill, N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile God, and Dawn of the Scarlet Sun); and since I...

I love talking about my games, so I figured I would post a (long and rambling) update because I GMed the first session of Legacy of Fire yesterday! It was a bit of a rocky start because the game store was hosting an event and my map press got lost in the mix and we couldn't use our normal room...

Thanks for the suggestions on adventures. I will look into them when I have money (I just dropped over a hundred dollars on all the pf2e releases). And now for a long, rambling, stream of consciousness game update: I did run my jungle game on the 4th of July weekend. I had one less player...

First of all thanks for all the suggestions! I looked through the reviews and I will probably save necropolis for mummy’s mask (if I ever get around to running it). I will be acquiring the other two to look at as soon as my wallet recovers from the seventh :) I am also going to use the faction...

The system doesn’t matter: I’m converting to pf2e anyways.

In addition to my take on Serpents skull for PF2E, I am still running kingmaker (pf1e), though it’s finally reaching its conclusion. I have decided I don’t like the mass combat system so I am going to swap it out for die, men, die! From REIGN and see how that goes. I am pretty worn down by the...

In regards to retreating: In pathfinder 2e, when playing with dynamic dungeons, success isn’t guaranteed. So the PCs should plan for failure (proper preparation prevents poor performance). Come prepared for the dungeon. Hire hirelings and give them signal whistles and elixirs of life. Have the...
