This is deep cut, still felt deeply in Edmonton.

I’m only bothered by the mental adjustment I need to make. Lots of Pathfinder was still D&Disms, and those are seared into my brain for decades now, so it’ll be a bit of a struggle. BUT overall I’m happy with these changes

DCC Day!!! 🎺🎺🎺

I’m a fan of the “illusion of randomness” approach. As long as the area wasn’t massively different, I’d keep using the same pregenerated weather anyway

This is the way!

I’m excited by this, but I’m also not a lawyer or publisher, so most of the details are lost on me. It really seems like 5E going to Creative Commons took a lot of the impact out of this project, but choices and redundancy in the world of open gaming are probably still a good thing

…don’t help the DM at all…

Personally I much prefer a localized campaign, centered around a specific area, than the ridiculous road-trip adventures that were Tyranny of Dragons and Storm King’s Thunder. Both of those felt like they were designed by committee to have the adventure visit as many popular Forgotten Realms...

It’s Windows 10 all over again, lol. They want to keep their existing customer base comfortable while also updating the design and maintaining the revenue stream, so they’re switching to iterative improvements rather than major updates. In theory, there might not be a clear move from 5E to...

I had to Google this to see if it was real. Yikes!

Anything’s a legitimate business expense until you get audited, lol

This guy again? I legit thought this whole saga was already over.

This is an important point worth repeating. It makes a lot of sense for Paizo distinguish PF2 from 5E, given that the whole discussion of “Monsters: To scale with level or not to scale with level? That is the question” is entirely a matter of genre, style, and preference.

Valid question! I would think the Beginner Box is lean enough. But it will likely get a redo within the next couple years, I’m guessing.

Not to dunk on WotC unnecessarily here, but I think you’re objectively giving them too much credit here. Those “early 5E modules” you mentioned? Those were ALL pre-5E products from the D&D Next period (a.k.a. the playtesting gap between 4E and 5E). These weren’t exactly strong support for old...

I love how tactical PF2 is, but sometimes I wish combat was deadlier and character creation was faster. But I might be crazy—an OSR-style version of PF2? It’s an impossible dream.

Ah yes, I forgot PF2 is remaking their dragons to shed that element of the OGL. The classic chromatic and metallics are being replaced with two each for each of the four source of magic (arcane, divine, occult, and primal) for a total of eight new dragons. (This is assuming I read this somewhere...

Word. But kids are the target audience, not veteran gamers, right?

Yeah but based on the info above, it’s not based on the 3.5E Draconomicon, it’s just based on some previously published kids’ books. 128 page hardcover, and I bet it will be digest sized. While it will surely be a fun read, if you’re posting on these forums I’m pretty sure you won’t get much use...

People keep saying “inflation”, but just like with groceries, I’m convinced most of the cause is corporate greed.
