They're still not getting the hang of skills. Ultimately, I think for my own sanity I'm going to default to the 2014 way of doing things just so they can write clear numbers on their character sheets. Every single time we make a die roll, it's "what's my bonus? do I get proficiency on this? do...

I voted for "Psion" in the poll and I'm a little disappointed to not get it. Oh well, maybe a 3rd party will make one.

Origins is our go-to "large" con now that GenCon has ballooned to a size and cost I can't handle. Additionally, the tradeshow is held in my state now and generates valuable income in my region. I hope GAMA improves what it needs.

Currently at $2,000,621. Officially crossed $2M

It took nearly 2 years for 5.1 to be released. I'm not expecting 5.2 to be an immediate priority.

So the group's fissure between who wants to have action VS. who wants to keep pursuing mysteries came to a head last session. Both sides started arguing about what is "fun" in an RPG. We had a fight. There was essentially a TPK, but they survived (I fudged it - which I hate to do - but the...

Aren't they making a Pathfinder-inspired board game set in Golarion? My guess is that the Runelords feature in the boardgame.

A nice house rule that would make it go down easier would be to allow different types of movement as a part of the same action. Like, if I moved to the wall and had movement remaining, I could begin climbing it as a part of the first action. If I finished climbing the wall with the third...

The players reached level 2 last session and we spent the last hour leveling up. 3 of the 4 players are getting Combat Maneuvers, so that took some explanation and lots of research. I am curious to see how it impacts the game: the speed of combat, the power level of characters. Other notes...

I have never played with a PF2 GM in person, online, at a convention, in this multiverse or any other, who would have ruled it that way. IME, the way most PF2 GM would rule this is that a brazier spill would have a DC and damage that is connected to the level of the hazard - not the character...

We had a 2-week break from PF2 to play Call of Cthulhu a couple months ago. I really enjoyed it.

From the Kickstarter: "Multiple accessible formats: Accessible dyslexia-friendly PDF, ePub, digital braille (BRF), audio, markdown, plain text with CSV tables, docx, what else do you need?" Really, this is a wonderful idea to make the hobby more accessible. Best of luck to them.

I think that my main issue is that the PF2 system isn't interesting enough to me to last a year, covering the first 6 levels of play. The tactical play isn't enough, and probably no system could be. When we do skill checks, it's just everybody rolling until one of the players gets a high enough...

My mentality of collecting was shaped on FOMO. Now that PDFs typically stay available for purchase for years, I'm learning to not collect things I don't intend to play soon. I recently had to back off on getting Shadowdark and realize that the Starter Set PDFs would be sufficient for my gaming...

Ever sense the pandemic, about 3-4 hours is the longest I can go. Sometimes closer to 2, especially on VTT.

After we get settled in, we have about 3 hours of solid time each week.

To be fair, these are all different groups and systems, each with things I like and dislike. I guess I stick with them because I like the company of the players and socializing. I also hold out hope that I can fix things, especially when I think some issues are due to my perception.

The GM is very strict with the rules, and in Pathfinder 2, those are bad for improvisation, because there are rules for everything. Theoretical example: Say I want to climb onto a ledge to kick a flaming brazier on the surrounding cultists. That's one action to move to the ledge, one action to...

I like the group. And I have talked to him about my boredom, especially with my character. He's tried to respond by giving me some magic items with utility, so I can shake things up. But the thing with PF2 is that such items are so underpowered and of limited use, they barely make an impact.

No. Ruins of Azlant. And the past 6 months, it's felt like a series of side quests working for the colony leaders.
