As others have said, this could be a private head’s up to third parties, which wouldn’t have impacted PF1 sales. And could have given people hoping for good long-term sales to print fewer copies or not invest as much in new art. And really, Pathfinder continuing to release PF1 material after...

Half PF1 on Fantasy Grounds, little more than a third PF1 on Roll20. Twice PF2 on both platforms.

In Roll20, PF2 went from 0.5% of games in Q3 of 2019 to 1.1% in Q4 and 1.2% in Q1 of 2020. Pathfinder itself dropped from 6% to 5% to 4.5%. Although, D&D grew quite a lot in that period, so the number of games of PF1 could have remained steady or even grown, while D&D just grew that much more...

Yes. But also lengthy description of people and places and monsters. Descriptions of what they're doing and acting along with some sound effects. Plus, he does make interesting characters and memorable NPCs through a combination of voices and also descriptions and mannerisms. Characters the PCs...

Knowing a new edition will be announced in a year would have given them the opportunity to cancel planned projects or reduce the scope from big hardcovers to smaller softcovers. Pause the work before investing time and money into art and writing before it was too late. Or even just order smaller...

The tone of his blog posts match his twitter posts, Facebook rants, podcast appearances, and the like. He's not really playing anything up. That's just who he is.

It's not a gimmick. It's not a Colbert Report style persona. That's who he is.

There's not so few people giving advice online about DMing that I've felt the need to support someone who is not only an naughty word, but needlessly so.

I do wish Gygax had consulted a thesaurus and called then "ranks" or "tiers". But, really, of all the silly mistakes 1e made, that's well in the middle of the list.

Until you have a hard drive failure. Which is a thing that has literally happened to me, and cost me MANY PDFs. Thankfully, I had some of the older ones backed-up on burnt DVD discs. Unfortunately, a couple of the discs had degraded and couldn't be read. So the files were lost. And some...

I don't mind. Did the same thing with Pathfinder, paying twice for the book and the rules of HeroLabs. Some give away PDFs. Some require a bundle. Some charge separately. Generally, you need to pay $20 for a digital copy. That's probably the standard. Also D&D Beyond isn't a PDF. It's a...

There was quite a few big PF1 3rd Party Kickstarters launched shortly after the announcement of the playtest, when PF2 content was largely DOA. Like Kobold Press' Midgard setting Kickstarter. It does sound like Paizo didn't contact anyone prior and let them know to hold off on making compatible...

Thinking on this more, I’m not even sure Matt Mercer is still Matt Mercer. The Matt Mercer of early 2016 would be in forking awe of the Matt Mercer of 2020, who now has four years of weekly Dungeon Mastering; sponsors throwing terrain at him; the budget of a hit show to use on minis, terrain...

The regular matches the other books on my shelf. The fancy version diesn’t even match the other fancy versions.

But, clearly, we still need to fix the champion...

Yes. 7hp instead of 2hp. Soooo much beefier. The imp is the beefiest at 10hp and resistance to nonmagical damage. So, a good cantrip or a couple hits. It can take a blow, but it's not tanking any time soon. That aside, what's your proposed change? How have you houseruled and homebrewed the...

Even at low levels, it's barely going to survive incidental damage. Familiars might only have a couple hit points. It's not really something that should be going into combat. Even your 7hp "advanced familiar" pseudodragon. It's a utility/ spying feature. Which assumes you're picking a combat...

None of the other pacts grant a bonus at higher levels, why should the Pact of the Chain? That said, it'd be easy to add some more invocations with that pact as a prerequisite, possibly giving some additional familiar options and/or reducing the cost. Or increasing the hit points and damage of...

Defiling and Preserving. Being able to recover a spell slot by draining life from an area during a rest might reflect this. Or boosting a spell's level (as if casting using a higher level spell slot) by draining life. But then this brings up allowing a mechanical combat bonus for what is...

It could be as many as 320-pages, like Eberron but it could also be as small as Ravnica and 256-pages A Wildemount-comparable 304-pages seems a compromise. Races. Mul, thri-kreen, and goliath/ half-giant. This needs a couple pages on each of those as well as two or three pages on the classical...
