    Pathfinder Beginner Box Review

    Sure, you can make sessions on your own and only use the BB rules. Why you would want to cripple your players and limit them to a tiny fraction of the options available to them via the full rule set is your choice. Players would probably get tired of only having four classes to choose from...

    Pathfinder Beginner Box Review

    No. There are eight more classes, 4 more ancestries, 2 heritages, and a ton more class feats, items, spells, etc. in the CRB alone. The BB is just a stripped down set of rules with an adventure tailored to those rules that introduces players to the game itself. It is not intended to be a...

    Pathfinder Beginner Box Review

    You do not need the CRB to play with the Beginner Box adventure or Troubles in Otari. They have even recommended some of the PFS2 Bounties which are short 1 hour long adventures for use with the Beginner Box. You really will want to move from the Box to the full ruleset to take advantage of all...

    Pathfinder Beginner Box Review

    The 2nd Edition Beginner Box is meant to advance players to 3rd level and then transition into the full rule set. More than anything, it is meant to help new players begin play with Pathfinder. The way the box is set up with the rules, players can begin rolling dice within five to ten minutes...

    Worlds of Design: What the Future Holds for RPGS - Part 2

    As a GM, player, and Venture Officer for Pathfinder Society via the Pathfinder 1 and 2 editions, I see a lot of players playing roughly 4 hour sessions with a fairly complex set of rules. I also see a good stream of new players coming to play with us. Most of this is currently online, but we...

    Are You Burned Out?

    I am burned out on running online. I run a lot of games, but I need some live ones to vary things up. I miss that interactive back and forth at the table.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Lawsuit Dismissed Without Prejudice

    How about Joe Manganiello as Caramon? He's older than Caramon would be in the series though. Really need actors in their upper twenties/low thirties at the most.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Lawsuit Dismissed Without Prejudice

    They have reached an agreement is how I read that. I would say we can expect a new DL series to be published at some point in the future.

    Pathfinder 2E Taking20 -"I'm Quitting Pathfinder 2e Because of This Issue"

    I've ran over 120 PF2 sessions in Pathfinder Society and it is a far better game than PF1 was, but that's from my perspective as a GM and player running primarily Pathfinder Society. Cody's video misses the mark by a wide margin. No RPG does what he wants. I thought the silliest part of his...

    Pathfinder 2e Character Chronicles: Matthew Lillard & Paul Shapiro (Beadle & Grimm)

    I've only killed two characters in PFS2 out of 125 sessions. I've had them on the ropes multiple times, but only killed two. Fortunately, thanks to the Achievement Points, players can use the points to save their characters if they want to do so.

    D&D General D&D In The Mainstream - Again!

    Escape for the Isolated | American Libraries Magazine I was told about this article last night on Know Direction's podcast.

    Pathfinder 2e Character Chronicles: Matthew Lillard & Paul Shapiro (Beadle & Grimm)

    This is something that looks to be very engaging for dedicated players. I am going to get the Wizard's book myself.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance's Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman Are Suing WotC for Breach of Contract

    If you think DragonLance hasn't aged well, try Conan, Fafhrd, or Elric. Don't even pick up a Horseclans or Gor novel if you think DL has issues. Very few of the fantasy series have evolved well from their beginnings although I think Shannara by Terry Brooks has done exceedingly well in...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2E's African-inspired Sourcebook

    So looking forward to this book and that AP. This is an area of Golarion that really has only been explored well in Pathfinder Society scenarios. The new Lost Omens books are providing additional depth to their game world which was covered fairly well, albeit unevenly in their PF1 splat books...

    Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide Review

    The Advanced Player's Guide is the capstone piece to the original vision for Pathfinder Second Edition. The PF2 CRB was a whopping 640 pages and Paizo still had more content ready to go in it that they just could not release due to space issues. Everything that was left out was designated to be...

    ICv2's Top 5 RPGs for Spring 2020 - D&D 3PPs In The Chart!

    Statements from Paizo employees flat out stating that PF2 sales have broken all of their previous sales records. I don't know where you are getting your data from, but it is clear that Paizo ordered quite a few more PF2 CRBs for this first print run than they did for the first print run of PF1.

    ICv2's Top 5 RPGs for Spring 2020 - D&D 3PPs In The Chart!

    That is correct. There is nothing to be gained by this exchange.

    ICv2's Top 5 RPGs for Spring 2020 - D&D 3PPs In The Chart!

    The usual blah blah blah. Offer to run a game of PFS2 still stands any time you actually want to play the edition.

    ICv2's Top 5 RPGs for Spring 2020 - D&D 3PPs In The Chart!

    So, once again you have indicated you have not played Pathfinder Second Edition. Therefore, you don't know what you are talking about. You are just a disgruntled PF1 player angry that Paizo made a new edition and stopped producing new content for PF1. PF2 is a great success. They have broken...
