Oh, and I suppose I should mention that if I make the determination that I "need" that modern FRPG design, I'd be looking at converting 5e to pulp fantasy. With AS&SH & ACKS, the work is done for me (the appeal) but being based on older rules, I wonder about "seeing the flaws" (the concern).

I’m an avid Pathfinder 2 game master, recently converted from PF1. It’s facilitated some of the most exciting and dynamic scenarios in my 35+ years of gaming. However, I’m almost exclusively on the GM-side of the screen and, silly as it may sound, playing the Pathfinder Kingmaker CRPG...

Just wanted to say thanks to you and the Chronicles crew! Your podcast was amazing. At the time you folks were in full swing, I was just getting back into active RPG play by introducing my kids to Pathfinder. All of the content was great, but in particular your designer interviews and your...

Gods & Magic and next months Gamemastery Guide can't come fast enough.

Except, the PF2 item level system, isn't a "loot drop" system. As I outlined previously.

Sigh. No, it's not. Either it's been described poorly or your projecting biases on the description. Item level is a tool for providing GMs guidance regarding the impact treasure can have. For GMs who want to give "meaningful treasure", it ensures that a GM has enough information before giving...

I just got my books yesterday. I don't know where you're getting your info from, but I'm a PF1 diehard and I'm LOVING what I'm seeing in PF2 so far. Mechanically, it seems a wholesale upgrade of PF1 without losing PF1's ability to have rich character customization and tactical combat, rules...

That looks AMAZING!

Sadly, a hard pass. I see little of the Warhammer that I fondly recall and a lot of "what if Iron Kingdoms was turned up to 11"...

As a 10+year Paizo customer, PF1 diehard that is now eagerly awaiting PF2, Starfinder player and GM, and PF GM who doesn't run his campaigns in Golarion, my view is the opposite. Pathfinder (& Starfinder) are where it's at, and Golarion and the APs provide an (optional) environment in which to...

Holy crap! That looks amazing!

I'm part of the PF1 base. Actually, I was part of the 'PF1 Forever' Brigade. I'm anxiously awaiting PF2 as the changes they are looking to implement look as though they're reworking fundamental aspects of the d20 engine for the better. Given that PF2 appears to be easier to run and promises...

Check the Ultimate Wilderness FAQ: https://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1hj The Shifter got several significant corrections in it.

Different strokes, different tastes, etc. Savage Worlds isn't for everyone, so no worries if you don't like it. However, the game plays fast. If you're saying it doesn't, I'd say that's a user issue rather than a system issue.

Same & same! It's a great system!

The biggest surprise to me was that it funded in 6 mins, is at $191,406 in less than 24 hours and doesn't have a shout-out on the main page!

Rumors & speculation only at this point, I believe. Nothing official has been announced beyond the Starfinder Beginner Box which was the big Starfinder announcement at Gen Con. I do think it was rumored that in one or more of the panels, a starship supplement was cited as a logical supplement...

Actually, they can. Just like if a +4 sword drops from an opponent slain by 3rd-level characters in PF1/D&D. The level is there to clue everyone in as to appropriate power level but nothing prevents the item working when it's picked up. There is a certain amount of handwavium involved -...

You do realize that FantasyCraft is "very much a D&D game" too, right? The intention of "bringing up other games" was to provide information you might find helpful. Play whatever you like. And the way NPCs work in Starfinder, and will likely work in PF2, I DO find to be easy. Oh, wait....I...

I see. But what you are calling "super-cluttery complex" I see as "rich and tactically satisfying". Paizo stated "making NPCs will be easier" as a design goal. They didn't say they would build to the kind of disparity you're seeking, but there are other games that do go that route...
