I wrote a guide that seems pretty relevant to this topic! It discusses some of the nuances of damage casters in pf2e: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kf_s_8YhoH4MDWH3x42Gk1CyF9-WI2WxZgS5Tx-1GZM/edit?usp=sharing My overall assesment is that they work well and are enjoyable.

My group and I are rather excited for these.

I've actually changed in this respect, becoming less collaborative over time. I used to be more excited by the idea of a world with shared ownership and everyone's tastes represented, but it was just never that fun or coherent, and litigating creative control and tone was consistently painful...

Notably, a kantian would probably lament how other violations of the moral rules create such situations in the first place-- e.g. part of the goal of lying and cheating being firmly unethical, is so you as a person living in a world where people try to be good, aren't lied to or cheated. Kant...

RPGers, it seems to me are more interested in the setting that the story of the movie is selling, rather than reenacting their favorite sort of scenes from the movie-- even in the context of their own characters as the heroes. I think in that sense its less of a murderhobo impulse, and more that...

They aren't formalized and its more of a gradient, but it generally does follow the same sort of curve, I think one difference is that the default setting tends toward higher power levels, so the division between the scale of problems is less important. Its easier to imagine high level...

Characters are stronger by that point if they optimize, but are still threatened by powerful creatures, it's a huge rush of power though, especially if you let them fight things that they fought at a lower level-- when Ancient Dragons are coming into play, it's really fun to fight a bunch of...

In terms of what there is, yeah, third parties do tend to promote there and people do discuss the different variants a lot as well as their own, I got a lot of people's personal hero point house rules when I recently posted a picture of my player rolling double 1s with a hero point lol.

Yup, the biggest PF2e community anywhere too.

- credit to the reddit OP for the chart of course but I thought I'd share, this is stratospheric and unprecedented, the sub is flooded with new players and questions, its exciting times.

I'm not OP, but I actually expected more representation for just about every option on the poll-- a subset of people running for a slew of PBTA games, Cortex, Fate, etc. I actually happened to buy OSE Advanced Fantasy literally five minutes before you mentioned it though, funny enough, it...

I jumped ship to Pathfinder on Second Edition's release (you see me around here mostly for the General DND type conversations that have the overlap), looking at the poll, welcome to the potential new people to my fave system?

Hmm, if you like dnd-esque horror, then Malevolence was good from what I ran before the group fell apart for other reasons, its more polished than plaguestone and is very vibe heavy, it also learns from the hardness of the early adventures and is more moderate in that respect. Its a one book...

Yeah and the leadership did elect to accept the union without them forcing the issue in the end, I think it really worked out well from what we've seen, ultimately the Union is incentivized to make sure the company can operate and no one is under any illusions about Paizo's position in the...

I think there was a fear that they'd get backlash from a more aggressive errata process from gamers who don't want their physical books to be invalidated, and a desire to keep the amount of errata down in general from the perception that a large errata list would make the game seem broken and...

Yeah, they could also find themselves supported by some other interests as well though, walled gardens are big money, or it might just not matter since its not in the tech space in the first place.

Admittedly, I wouldn't be shocked if the goal is to prepare the way for SLAPP suits and make it like Fair Use, where you're technically allowed to do a bunch of things but they have enough of a pretext of wrongdoing to force legal action you can't afford-- WOTC could maintain the legal position...

True, but OneDND doesn't exist yet, and I imagine siloing THAT content off is their goal.

Unless it specifically suggests NEW works can't use the 1.0 license and have to use the 1.1
