Do the undead eat? Obviously, they don't have to, but the old zombies legends have them consuming brains while ghouls eat pretty much anything alive. Do the undead get weak if they don't eat? I agree, it is a neat thing to consider. If they do require some sort of food source, that makes the...

I don't care what world you build, one absolute law that will not change is that population depends on food. That is not going to differ in any world. Until a civilization is large enough to have people for both food production and specialists for anything else, it will not progress very far...

Of course it doesn't respond to the same development pressures. The fantasy world is just that, a fantasy. There's no way it could actually exist because the dominant species would have a mastery of magic and be long lived. These fantasy settings are made to include many different possible...

It is not the firearms as long as they remain in the early development stage. It's the steampunk stuff crossing over into the medieval setting that I dislike.

This sentence contains the essence of why I am not thrilled with this book at this time: In what appears to be a recurring element for recent Paizo books, Guns & Gears starts with an excellent introduction that addresses the mechanical and thematic issues that come with introducing guns and...

The history of mankind is one of migration of peoples. Some of the earliest walls were about protecting settled peoples against nomads. The important thing to understand about walls is they cannot do much on their own. It takes humans to man them in order to make them effective. Also, keep in...

Great article! I am really looking forward to reading this book.

Increasing AC, HP, ATK roll modifiers, etc., all are part of the character progression. Were we to eliminate those, character growth would be reduced significantly. I get that Arneson and Gygax were miniature wargamers, but I'm pretty sure Gygax or someone realized that character growth was...

Great news! Still some work ahead of them, but this was definitely the right thing for Paizo to do.

I was already planning to read this book. The review has made me want to read it even more. Thanks!

I am running the Pathfinder 2e adventure for my FLGS who participated in the program this year.

I think it is great! As for Paizo not recognizing it, they might not get a choice.

That is because some people want 2e to fail, so they keep saying it is a failure while the evidence is overwhelming the exact opposite. Gee, I wonder who else is saying something happened last year that obvious did not happen when examined with factual evidence? Ah, edition wars. We'll always...

Most PF2e is done on Foundry. 2e's sales are excellent which shows the fan base was not split apart. Some diehards are sticking with 1e which is perfectly fine, but since 1e sales were declining Paizo had to make a decision about what their future would be. While this report shows one thing...

I thought this was a major move in the right direction by Paizo regarding how areas outside the Eurocentric regions will be treated for Pathfinder Second Edition. The description of the Mwangi Expanse from a native viewpoint has been a very welcome breath of fresh air. It makes me anticipate...

Thank you for sharing this with us. As my own age keeps increasing with every trip of this rock around the blazing nuclear bomb in space, I am constantly reminded of my mortality as well as those who have inspired me during those trips. I only got to play RuneQuest one time and I greatly enjoyed...

I would not be surprised at all if Starfinder made a significant edition change in three or four years to the 2e three action economy and math system for play while retaining all of the current lore. If there was a way to convert current SF characters to the new system, I think they would have...

Since so much 2e stuff from the last quarter has now been released in July and continuing into August, let's see what happens with the next quarter's report. This is also a reminder that shipping issues are causing problems in the industry right now which could be affecting the sales that drive...

I would say Pathfinder did not dip at all. ICv2 does not include internal company sales directly to the consumer and Paizo has a very large subscriber base. The report is a nice snapshot of retail store sales as that is the market the publication is for, but as for the overall market, it has...

I think we may see a dip as people are able to do more this year than last year, but on the other hand the ones that picked up dice and entered the TTRPG community via digital means are still rolling the d20 while I am seeing my players at my lodges who did not play in virtual space return to...
