    Starfinder Starship Operations Manual Announced

    I love starfinder to bits, but two things put me off committing to it, 1) the level requirements on items, how do I, in a realistic way, stop a low level character buying a high level item and unbalancing the game, it's not like a fantasy setting where shops have very limited stock. 2)...

    Recommend me a Battlemap creation tool

    Thanks for the replies. I've been leaning towards Arkenforge, I wouldn't use any of its VTT functionality as it doesn't run on ipad (as far as I'm aware), however if the map creation side is reasonably powerful and fairly straightforward to use it looks good. I did consider Campaign...

    Recommend me a Battlemap creation tool

    Hi All I was after a little advice. For my game we use a local VTT on horizontal flat screen TV. I have a PC connected to this which runs Roll20 as a player client, then as a DM I use my Ipad pro to run Roll20 DM client this works ok (with a few little foibles), however the difficult I find...

    What's the best RPG?

    I SO wish I could get into FFG Star Wars, I love the setting and the system looks great, however I'm the only DM in our group and they aren't keen on taking narrative control, which in Star Wars puts it all back on me, the DM, and a) its a lot of work b) and it defeats the purpose of the players...

    Critical Role Critical Role: Amazon Orders 2 Seasons Of The Legend Of Vox Machina

    A bit OT but surely Hasbro has to sit up and take notice, CR is one of the hottest properties out there right now, and with D&D going against Hasbro's overall losses, surely they have to be looking at pushing it harder? If that's a good thing is a different question entirely Back to the op I'm...

    Pathfinder 2E Creating interesting solo monster encounters

    Well about the same for both, to be fair on the second encounter the players rolled well, the rogue criting twice.

    Pathfinder 2E Creating interesting solo monster encounters

    Well admittedly I've only had a small sample size, and admittedly could be the result of me coming to terms with a new system, but both fights felt a bit unbalanced, the first one the group almost tpk'ed and if I hadn't fudged the rolls I'm sure they would have. Perhaps I over compensated for...

    Pathfinder 2E Creating interesting solo monster encounters

    They are great initial thoughts, I think using the actions to command his pet Grauladons would be a good start

    Pathfinder 2E Creating interesting solo monster encounters

    Well my first encounter is with a Lizardfolk Tribal leader who has taken over the crypt of one of his long dead ancestors and is claiming to be him reborn. I've originally gone with an Elite Lizardfolk defender with two pet Grauladons and a couple of standard lizardfolk defenders. The party is...

    Pathfinder 2E Creating interesting solo monster encounters

    I think its a good idea< i'm sure solo monsters can be built within the existing framework of PF2, but I think pinching good ideas from other systems is never a bad thing! I like the idea of terrain hazards, and that is something I do use, but it can be a pit passive whereas I've found...

    Pathfinder 2E Creating interesting solo monster encounters

    Hi So coming from a 5e background I found that challenging players with a solo or boss encounter usually went well with the inclusion of legendary and/or lair actions, however with this being missing in PF2 I'm finding making the encounters fun, and the right difficulty level quite...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2e: Actual Play Experience

    So seven sessions into the PF2 campaign now. It started as what was meant to be a couple of sessions for playtesting and the players liked it that much that they've nagged me to continue. We are experienced gamers, our group has been together for over 20 years and we've been played lots of...

    Good 'Plunderable' dungeons

    Hi I'm currently running a sandbox campaign and while I'm handcrafting the locations that are key to the main plot thread, to save time and effort I'm wondering if you guys have any recommendations for dungeons/dungeon levels (or encounters) i could lift and shift from other...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2e: Actual Play Experience

    It may well be a personal thing, I used to really enjoy running 3.5, but as more and more books became available I found it more and more difficult to provide meaningful challenges for the players especially at higher levels. The campaign i'd been running for around a year ended on a bit of a...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2e: Actual Play Experience

    Have played 5 sessions of PF2E, I'm DM'ing for a group of six. We have switched over from 5e, as we've been playing that since release and it was starting to feel a little stale As for the play experience, its going really well, I'm finding DM'ing to be about equivalent to 5e in terms of...

    D&D 5E (2014) amazon.co.uk Descent in Avernus order "Estimated arrival date: October 12 2019 - October 14 2019"

    Amazon have been doing the same with me, its most frustrating, time to suck it up and spend a few more quid getting it from elsewhere I think
