Being a Pathfinder 2E player/GM and NOT a DnD 5.5 player/GM I often see this exact same discussion, but in the opposite direction. Over in my game we have the balance problem being casters are often seen as too weak. I think both games having the same problem but from opposite sides of the...

I'm for Ncuti Gatwa - though they'd have to drag him away from Dr Who to do it and I'd much prefer to keep him there. My number two pic isn't on anyone's radar. Kymani Marley. Son of Bob Marley - he's a Jamaican actor and musician. He's on my list because Ian Fleming who was the creator of Bond...

This is a weird backwards thread to me. So... I disliked roll20. It has a UI I just didn't care for, and having to buy the rulebooks was weird when I can get all the rules online at archives of nethys free. I suppose the DnD folks have a free site somewhere too. It's also a subscription. And I...

We all have our different preferences. I'm just shy of saying I wouldn't play PF2E WITH free archetype. Essentially the opposite perspective from yours. That's a different topic from this one though. For any of these variants - including the bonus one that more or less replaces how magic...

As others note, we'd need examples of what you consider interesting. I have a perspective that the moment you apply a system to magic it's no longer magical. But that's informed from some years in my youth among occult groups - those looney folks who believe magic is real and have the mood...

I strongly disagree. I come at this from three paradigms informing the stance I'll outline. MMO tactical group gameplay, being a veteran, and the quirky one: being a fan of classic shows like Scooby Doo. Even a civilian informed genre show like 'The A-Team' has elements of what I feel is...

It was the 'mostly' the opposite for me. While I do have a nasty RPGHorrorstory on reddit, tRPGs in general were some of the first times I met / dealt with white people that were not aggressive or violent towards me. That was around high school age in the mid 1980s. It coincided with me moving...

My 'You really gotta have these mods' list for Pathfinder 2E in Foundry would be: PF2E HUD PF2E Workbench PF2E Graphics PF2E Toolbelt. PF2E Assistant You kind of have to have that list or it's just painful to play in your games. PF2E Graphics will want you to get a 'JB2A' mod as well - that...

That has to be one of my absolute favorite mods. Note that it is super configurable. When you first install it it puts spam icons everywhere, a HUD down at the bottom lest, some pre-configured dice buttons, a clock, and messes up the location of the macro bar. And then it adds a second combat...

Pathfinder is a team game rather than a solo game. So there is a lot of value in introducing people as a team and having them work out plans both in and out of combat together from the outset. That's probably the core difference between Pathfinder 2E and all the things I hear about DnD. Granted...

EDIT: I see folks mentioned this guy above by name. Yeah, this here is the first in the series for Lunatic Dice: There's a "new guy" (new to being 'the PF2E Foundry' guy), for the pathfinder folks out there, who's got some really good videos. He's recently done 2 D&D videos also. But he's...

Same answer of 5 I'm on my third attempt to type out why but every time it got so much toxic stuff and noted about sexism and racism that has been a theme in both TSR and WotC that it'd freak a whole lot of people out... That tree's been rotten since the seed was planted. Plus the game system...

Complete impact for me. Many of the things I see changing in D&D 2024 are things I've wanted to see for decades. But I've not made a return to D&D since leaving it in 2006 because the company is just too toxic and the company refuses to do something as simple as let me get a PDF of it...

No official and almost no fan support for PF1E. You can do it manually. I've been working on getting the very first PF1E AP into Foundry in 2E format. There's a fan made import of the maps that seems to have been abandoned. It claims to be a 2E conversion but since it's maker left it after only...

For a group, I search for topics That button on the bottom left, then type into the field, and if it's public join it. For people, message people you end up in a conversation with. Game servers will often have an LFG channel or series of channels, which is where you find people to game with...

Yes. And this brings up another key thing to PF2E combat and what I was saying. Charging them an action tax breaks up that synergy. I'm GMing Abomination Vaults, and this past week I've messed my players up for whole turns by simply having an NPC "waste" an action to close a door. ;) - That can...

Actually for me this is the opposite. It's an example of a consistent rules grammar resulting in less rules checking. Once I get to know how the 'Attack' trait works, I no longer need to look up whether or not something has MAP, what it targets, and a host of other things. That works throughout...

To add to this... a lot of 'boss' fight enemies in Pathfinder will have some 'mega attack' that requires 3 actions. Half the time simply walking away as your third action locks the boss out of using that ability. "I step back" is a meta move in Pathfinder. A counter to it that equally extreme...
