    Pathfinder 2E Release Day Second Edition Amazon Sales Rank

    I find it very sad that pf2 is, by all accounts struggling. In a way it's understandable, as a lot of hardened pf1 gamers were never going to jump onboard, and even if they'd simplified the ruleset I don't think they could compete with the behemoth that is 5e It's (IMHO) a very good ruleset...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New D&D Book: Tasha's Cauldron of Everything!

    Not sure if this has been answered, it's a bit of a trivial question, but are the spines of the collector's edition books different from standard? For previous books I've not preferred one over the other so have gone with the cheapest, however I love the alt cover for this.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bad Wrong Fun

    I would add that a DM saying 'because I say so' might not always be as dismissive as you think I was starting a campaign that was a riff on the Draconian creation story, however the idea was that at the climax of the campaign the players would hopefully arrive just to late to stop them being...

    Critical Role Why Critical Role is so successful...

    I do love this idea, but like many people have said it does require player buy in and won't suit every group, taking narrative control isn't for everyone.

    Prisoners

    The reason I ask is that it causes such decision paralysis for the group I DM for, they agonise for so long over what to do that it brings the session almost to a halt. I now tend to have foes fight to the death just to avoid the situation. Even as I DM I've tried to emphasize ( without...

    Prisoners

    So I was reading the thread about the intimidation skill, and it got my pondering, how does your group handle prisoners? It's always been an area o e struggled with, the options as I see it are: Take no prisoners, not especially heroic or 'good' Bind them and take them with you. Seems ok but...

    Pathfinder 2E Is this a fair review of PF2?

    Thank you, that would be fantastic

    Pathfinder 2E Is this a fair review of PF2?

    Probably a bit cheeky but is it possible you could share those flow charts? The rule organisation is my biggest bugbear of the system

    Pathfinder 2E Pace of fighting

    We find it takes marginally less per combat than 5e, but there isn't much in it. I will caveat this by saying we have been playing 5e since day one and PF2 for about 6 months, so we aren't anywhere near as familiar with the rules as we are with 5e.

    Which Non-D&D TSR Game Would You Like to See WotC Revive?

    Star wars most of all please! I so want to do a star wars campaign, but even though the ffg version is a well produced book, it doesn't suit our group, saga probably would but it's next to impossible to get hard copy, and all the other versions seem like they'd need a ton of houserules to get...

    Greatest Sketch Comedy (What's Your Top 10?)

    Coming from the UK, my favourite sketch show has to be the fast show, I'm not sure it was universally popular though

    Help me choose a VTT

    Thank you for all the updates, they've been very useful. I'm pretty much committed to the iPad, for a couple of reasons, physical space at the gaming table is limited, and I can't afford to buy a laptop at the moment For a bit more clarity my setup is a flat screen TV laid on top of the actual...

    Roll20 RPG Usage Stats: Growth Everywhere During Pandemic!

    I think like @Retreater posted earlier that the stats will be skewed somewhat by the availability of resource for a particular system When lockdown hit, I wanted to port my pf2 campaign onto roll20, but the lack of options made doing that and learning roll20 (I'm an online noob) too steep a curve

    Help me choose a VTT

    That is a very good point, and one I did consider, however I tend to have all my notes and monster details in onenote that I flick over to during the combat and I wouldn't want my players to see this. If there was an app that could be shared rather than the iPad screen that could work, however...

    Help me choose a VTT

    Wow, that's an incredible reply thank you. My wishlist is very similar to yours. I will check out the foundry. To answer your questions: 1) this will be for in person play only. I will be continuing my roll20 campaign as the only game when we can't game in person 2) internet access is...

    Help me choose a VTT

    Hi all So I'm not totally new to the world's of VTTs, however I'm looking for people's opinions on which might best suit me. Prior to the CV-19 lockdown our face to face game of which I am DM is a pathfinder 2e campaign and we used the setup of using a horizontal TV to display battlemaps on...

    Pathfinder 2E Secrets of Magic coming in 2021 for Pathfinder

    The only thing that annoys me about this is that it seems so far away! Really happy with PF2 so far.

    The road yet taken; old timers: what is your White Whale setting?

    There are two for me, one is a Warhammer 40k game set during the Horus heresy, but my group aren't into 40k at all so I don't think it would work The second is star wars, I've some great campaign ideas, but the only system I think would work for our group (saga edition) is next to impossible to...
