I like this alternative. I find "soul cage" and "soul vessel" to be a little boring. Not so much that I would cry havoc into the dark night sky... My initial opinion on this was "tempest in a teapot" and didn't really understand the controversy. This thread has informed me and I now feel I...

The best money to be made in the industry is NOT working for someone, but publishing yourself. The barriers are somewhat lower these days. There are too many open games out there and content creator programs to feel bound by the "big companies". You would better off in the DM's Guild than trying...

It was a fun romp, lots of emotional character interaction, and tons of action! The aliens were amazing, terrifying, and wicked. Seriously, someone leveled up their CGI skills on this one. Superb stuff. The plot has holes the size of Pratt's smile. Some seriously questionable choices and...

You forgot "sparkling". :-)

Your starting premise is flawed. In your opinion, it has a long list of flaws. However, in practice, I think your expectations are flawed. Reading through your recent list of posts, and the list you added here, it's obvious that PF2 doesn't play they way you want. In fact, I believe D&D 4e is...

All d20 systems are eminently hackable. I get the problem statement but what would you do to fix it (in your mind)? Maybe give magic-focused foes more at-will abilities? Increase DCs for those abilities (maybe by increasing the linked Attribute)? Maybe just lower attack bonus and AC by a certain...

Also, if you're not up to mapping, don't forget about the HUGE selection of VTT assets on DTRPG. I'm a cartographer and I still leverage DTRPG to find something quickly. You can also buy assets on Roll20 and download them to your computer. I'm sure other VTTs allow the same.

If the answer is "no? Is no more anecdotal than your evidence... Someone told you they don't read all the feats. So there you go. Is it common? In my experience - no. Most players don't read the whole book. Many players read only the min required. The build masters like to read everything...

So - PF2 combat and game play don't seem terribly complicated to me. I've been at this 40 years now and I GM games like GURPS and HERO. There are not a ton of complicated procedures (maybe figuring modifiers to a roll having the potential for most "points of handling"). What is unfortunate is...

I've been doing this for a bit, let me recollect; 1) I once had an enormous army of orcs with awesome flying barges setup to "encourage the PCs to go another way". Yes I was young. This was one of my first campaigns. The PCs kept marching forward. I captured them, and tortured them, and then...

The glaring issue with armor making you easier to hit thereby making you more susceptible to damage has been addressed. The Armor Penalty now only impacts your movement and Agility-based actions. I was not really familiar with the system and I'm intrigued by the idea of using Abilities as a...

HERO 6e post-apocalypse (Torg, Rifts, and Cthulhu write a screenplay with Christopher Nolan directing...). The setting is a home-brew creation of a brilliant mind and GM. Having a blast playing in it. I'm running a Stars Without Number sandbox where a lost colony, facing the destruction of...

I played in a virtual game this weekend at Con of Champions. I really enjoyed it. The cards are fun and add cool ideas or roleplaying opportunities. The combat was fast. The system is not overly complex, with lots of options. Cool pregens out of the book which shows devs play their own game. The...

Yeah, Thanks for the posts people! I sincerely appreciate your thoughts. As an aside, like to point out that "secret rolls" are not new. GURPS has had them for decades. Many other games too. I noticed that Paizo pulled in some cool tricks from other games and it's super cool of them. They also...

Still recruiting players!!

Ouija Board. Lowest latency, funnest results.

Wow. The title of this post is somewhat misleading, no? Probably should have been "Paizo shills own AP in GM Section and I don't like it". I give extra kudos to @Kel Ardan for including the content I was expecting in the thread... 💖 So, anyone else have actual GM experiences with the game...

Looking for regular players in Seattle, WA for a SAT game 5 - 11pm. The setting info is still being cobbled together from my brain --> Explorer Corps You can learn more about MSG here --> Metro Seattle Gamers - Metro Seattle Gamers (I have several slots available on my group membership and...

1) Create a Core D&D with a little more crunch ala HERO. Medium crunch, not as number heavy. This would be the foundation. 1a) Publish the SRD of the Core online and free basic no-frills PDF so designers can make new things for D&D that are easily measured against one another. This should be the...
