    Game Mechanics Which Encourage Character Arc Progression

    Beam Saber's (a Forged in the Dark game of war drama and mechs by Austin Ramsay) Drive Clock mechanic is the one I'm most facing. At creation, your character has a Drive - some major goal they want to accomplish. You add ticks to the clock by either pursuing that goal in missions or through...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo announced Tian Xia World Guide, Character Guide, and the Season of Ghosts adventure path.

    Currently these are all on track for their current releases, but a couple things may release slightly sooner than expected (though the way Paizo spoke about it those may be unannounced things).

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder To Get New Core Rulebooks Soon

    Excited for the class revisions. Glad for the death of alignment, which is a stupid rule that only exists with mechanical ramifications because of DnD. People have been expecting Rogue and Wizard to lose their arbitrary weapon proficiencies for a long while now, so that was wholly expected...

    Collectivism in Gaming

    Nope. My friends are all broke-r than me. I buy a PDF for 20 bucks, bought Foundry for 50 bucks, and we play all the live long day with free or shared resources. You won't even let your friends you're hosting have a few chips or something? Jeez.

    Who Actually Has Time for Bloated Adventures?

    Extraneous encounters will always exist in games where things are written assuming you're using encounter-based XP awards. It's unfortunate. Also, since you're running Quest for Frozen Flame, there is something you NEED to do: Either use ABP, or drop some striking runes yourself in loot piles...

    'Everything Is a Story' Inside Wyrmwood Gaming's Narcissistic Funhouse

    I remember you ranting about how nobody should believe Linda Codega's reporting on the OGL situation on Reddit for similar spurious reasons. Did a newspaper kill your family?

    Player-driven campaigns and developing strong stories

    Bloodtide, do you have anything resembling a fact to back up your take of "most players are too lazy to roleplay"?

    wtf! Chi is based on Hands !?

    Harakiri has no etymological relationship with the concept of qi. As with most of your threads, I'm not sure what you're discussing, and it seems neither do you. Your weird thread about shamanism equating to a lack of education wasn't good either so it certainly doesn't relate to... anything in...

    TTRPG Bundle for Trans Rights in Florida on itch.io (+)

    Gubat Banwa and Fist are also great picks out of this. Plus it finally got me a copy of someone I know's game and TSL.

    Pathfinder 2E Will the OGL fiasco increase third party support for Pathfinder?

    Why would they need a heads up or early access? 1e stuff still was selling well especially when 2e first came out. Why would not having the CRB a month early stop them from making things after it came out? Also, who determines who gets an early copy? Why would this person get to have it before...

    Pathfinder 2E Will the OGL fiasco increase third party support for Pathfinder?

    The game has a healthy 3pp ecosystem. Plenty of new things appear on Pathfinder Infinite on the weekly. The communities working on and collaborating on stuff are bustling. A lot of the "big creators" for 1e aren't even actively making things very often anymore. Legendary is still pumping out...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo: What the Heck? (Amazing and Undefeated???)

    This thread is almost 20 years old. They did end up with a big project, it's called "Pathfinder" and "Starfinder". They don't even have magazines anymore.

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo announced Tian Xia World Guide, Character Guide, and the Season of Ghosts adventure path.

    Minata, an archipelago off the Southwest coast I believe, has some Malay and Filipino influences, but current material doesn't really get in to much Polynesian influence; we'll see if that holds true for when the book comes out, though, as currently there isn't very much about Minata or indeed...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo announced Tian Xia World Guide, Character Guide, and the Season of Ghosts adventure path.

    As a long-time Pathfinder GM, basically no ways. There are people who think that because there isn't grim and gritty ultraviolence like in Paizo's 3.5 days that the game has somehow been "babified", but these people do not usually actually pay any attention to the game.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is it right for WoTC to moralize us in an adventure module?

    loving the concept of characters in a fictional universe having opinions and morals as being "moralizing". grow some thicker skin if you're mad that you're being told "murder is not approved"

    Paizo Paizo PDF rulebook price increases?

    It's hard to pay people when your primary seller is way cheaper than it should be given general book prices. Note that Staffan's link goes to a general restructuring of prices - several things got a little more expensive, yeah, but a lot got way cheaper - 30 bucks slashed off the bestiary abttle...
