They would be foolish not to. With multiple Star Trek and Star Wars movies and/or series slated to come down the pipes in coming years, the market for SF-oriented games will only increase. This said, there's a lot more money in video games than in TTRPGs.

A while back I was looking online for these, for the errata and expansions to the old, old boardgames White Bear, Red Moon and Plains of Prax. So glad I need look no further!

Not enough information to help. PF1 or PF2? The wizard is retraining her class??? Assuming this is for PF1, all your answers are here. The short answer is yes, everything derived from her class is lost and replaced with the new class features. I didn't think you could retrain your first level...

Note that in PF2, it is a "fighter feat" so only characters whose class is fighter or who multiclass into fighter can select this feat. I recall that before PF2's release, there was talk about any class being able to select cross-class feats, albeit at a higher level, but it appears that now...

I started in 1974, migrating from Chainmail to D&D. Later, when AD&D came out, our group switched to C&S (Chivalry and Sorcery). Then late in the 80s life took me away from RPGs for close to 20 years before I returned to DD3.5 via Neverwinter Nights in the early 2000s, then the new group...

Thanks for the report. My experience with players has been very similar - even players who are initially skeptical about PF2 have come around and are now enthusiastic. Let me confirm that Dave was quoting from the PF1 rules, where drawing a weapon was a move action. This said, he's still right...

Capn, since I quoted from the middle of the other thread, and cited several of your examples, it seemed to me you would understand that I had indeed read it. You ask, "why have an action cost if you never pay that cost?" That and your further examples show why Recall Knowledge used in combat is...

Sadly, after a few interesting comments, that other thread devolves into what one poster called "pomp and overwrought hand wringing", so I can't say it goes very far in encouraging thoughtful discourse. This said, in actual play, so far, we haven't encountered any significant problems with...

Well, Capn, I've followed a number of your threads, and I just don't see the problem with the PF2 rules that you take exception to. 1) Recall Knowledge is an adequate mechanic for putting more information in the players' hands, what's lacking is clear guidance on how extensive that information...

Actually, the RPGs that I find the "most medieval" in flavor and feeling keep the powerful catholic church in the setting, instead of catering to dozens of fantasy gods. Both Ars Magica and Chivalry and Sorcery placed the Catholic church inside the in-game society. This would probably be harder...

The typical way to add just a dash of spellcasting in PF1 is to dip one level of a spellcasting class, like wizard. This will give you cantrips and a couple 1st-level spells, but more importantly the ability to use all wizard-oriented magic items like scrolls, wands & staves without needing to...

IMHO, that would have to be a separate normal action, since the PC would be in the air during the ogre's turn and fall to the ground on the ogre's turn as well. Or you could make in a two-action sequence. It would certainly be hilarious. You can do this easily enough by placing traps, haunts or...

With that yardstick, you could claim that PF2 is like any game that you wish to mention. I think the jury is still out on talismans. The original idea was to make "scrolls for martials" and at that, at least, they have succeeded. Whether of not I'd spend gold pieces (cough, cough) or silver...

That's precisely the reason why I decided to publish a series of tutorial adventures for PF2. Now also available in French. PF2 has a number of mechanisms (initiative, stealth, poison, etc) that are different enough that a DM new to the game needs a little guidance. I'd love to see a beginner's...

This is a great thread - lots of great laughs in there. Some RPGs go for a stronger medieval vibe... but DD (and DD clones like Pathfinder) are not amongst them. Ars Magica tried to situate magical fantasy in a strong medieval setting. pendragon did a good job of projecting players into the...

PF2 isn't like DD4. No healing surges or per encounter powers. The Paizo boards aren't knocking PF2. Far from it. It's true that there are at times heated discussions there - people don't agree on how many hands you need for the Battle Medicine feat (the rules are unclear) and many don't like...

Jeff, you're not wrong. But at the end of the day, PF2 has to stand on its own 2 feet. It's a completely different game system, and I feel like even the folks writing adventures for Paizo need time to adapt to the new culture. Take powerful adversaries, for example. Foes that are 2-3 levels...

DrivethruRPG takes 30% off the top - if it's exclusively sold on their site. For me, the frustrating thing with 3pp work is not being able to use Golarion lore in any way, shape or form. When I write an adventure, I'd like to have a robust setting behind it, with gods, nations, ethnic groups...

If I have understood correctly, you can craft anything up to your level in a week, in this alternate system. Multiple items as long as they total to your level. I didn't see anything about batches for potions or whatever. Why is it always a week? Shouldn't something take longer, the higher...

Surely a low-level adventurer might want to craft arrows during an adventure, say, a few hours each evening. This should be possible, but given the 4-day lead time in the current PF2 crafting system, it isn't. If you're comparing Earn Income with crafting to see what advantages are accrued for...
