    Pathfinder Beginner Box Review

    Well even a 16 wouldn't be so bad, a pretty basic fighter should be hitting that on a ten or more, i suppose it's not the easiest to hit but not in the realms of super high difficulty. As for character creation, it's a little more involved than 5e as there are more decision points, and some...

    Pathfinder Beginner Box Review

    I understand about the lack of mobility, that is a problem, but needing a 12 or 13 to hit seems a bit out, as I remember the rats are AC 15, having a plus 2 or 3 to hit seems too low, I would've thought stat + proficiency would give you much higher than that

    Pathfinder Beginner Box Review

    I've looked at the rats encounter in the beginners box, and it doesn't strike me as a tpk waiting to happen, on paper it looks at most a moderate encounter, however we all know that things rarely go as written. I believe a way they could improve it is to remove critical hits from the encounter...

    D&D 5E (2014) Unearthed Arcana: Gothic Lineages & New Race/Culture Distinction

    Well it's taken another small step away from being a system I will go to as my default, it's simply becoming too homegionous for me, heading more down the story telling system route and not a game, it's not a bad thing just not to my tastes.

    Pathfinder Beginner Box Review

    I'll caveat my comments by saying I've never run an official pf2e official adventure. I'm running my own sort of beginners guide as we had a 4 month hiatus while I got up to speed with foundry vtt, and I'm using the official guide for encounter building. The group I'm DM'ing for is far from...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New D&D Book: Candlekeep Mysteries: 17 Mystery Adventures [UPDATED!]

    I'm really excited for this, as I find these type of adventures more difficult to create than dungeon crawls, also as I DM PF2E the fact that adventures that aren't so crunch heavy are easier to convert, it should make it fairly easy for me to drop them into my campaign. 👍

    Worlds of Design: What the Future Holds for RPGs - Part 1

    As I get older the more I drift away from video games. I don't dislike them, but its rare one truly gets its hook into me these days, I think the big releases are becoming very formulaic, and although they are good games, I often feel I've been there done that. I used to spend my free time on...

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    The more and more I think about it, the more I think the book of Fett will be season 3, it fits in with the way Disney does ensemble pieces, we get Mando, then Fett, followed by Bo Katan, all leading up to the grand finale of them teaming up to free Mandalore

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    I adored that, yep you can pick plot holes in it, but for 50 mins I felt like childhood me watching a new hope for the first time, I'm a pretty cynical person but that left me awestruck.

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    They had the location of moffs ship, which they didn't before. Did it invent the problem, I suppose it did, but isn't that what stories do? Invent problems for the protagonists to overcome? Not the greatest episode by a long shot, and I think this is where the episodes short running time and...

    D&D General Kender PC, Yes or No?

    Yep Played in DL as a Kender, and have run both a DL and spelljammer campaign with a Kender PC, always been great games and at no time did the Kender spoil the game. A lot of issues people have with Kender I think are more due to the reason @Dioltach mentions, they give players who already...

    Yep Boba Fett to die, and Mando to end up with the ship (renamed of course)

    Paizo A question about Paizo/PF adventure design

    It seems to me that different systems have a different amount of flex inherent to them, so something like PF2 you can get away with two extra guards arriving and the party coping, anymore than that you are straying into TPK* territory. Maybe 5e has greater width so maybe 6 guards can turn up...

    A supposedly great thing that I'll never watch again- Great media that left you cold

    WotC ICv2 Has A Theory That WotC Will Be Sold

    Or they could've gone for hasmat which given the circumstances we are in would have been appropriate 😉

    I so wish that mimic chest was available in the UK, it's awesome! Sadly out if my price range if you add the shipping cost and taxes from the US

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    A big part of the appeal of this show for me is that isn't lost or GoT, I'm fed up of endless plot twists and questions that never get satisfactory answers, I enjoy it's simplicity, to me it tells a story in a style that feels like star wars. They tried all the overreaching plot arcs and...

    The mandalorian [Spoilers]

    I think in a universe where ships fly in space like they're in an atmosphere, where a magic power exists and space stations the size of planets fly around, believing that a near human species ages slightly differently is one of the easier things to get my head around!
