Well, I found the backstory interesting/engaging, and the present- NOT interesting/engaging (based on the Author's own words) if that helps clarify things. I want something that is engaging at both levels or at the very least engaging in the present/at the table. This is why I would like to see...

Are you saying it's supposed to be generic D&D type setting? Or are you saying the author is not telling the truth about what the book is about? I am only going by what information the author has given me in his interviews- which is a backstory I find interesting but a present that sounds like...

I don't think people are understanding what I am saying- Dark Sun would interest me because it's nowhere near a typical D&D setting. Not the same old races, not the same old environments, not the same old magic, not the same old monsters, not the same level of "technology", not the same old...

IDK- but those were Mercer's talking points, not mine. Thus why I am looking to see what else there is-if anything,

I have not read the book-so I cannot say for certain what is in there however in the present day- Nations at War/bordering on a war with lots of grey area- Post Gygax GH, BM, FR, Mystara and Eberron. Crashed flying cities - FR, Golarion, You can even get crashed spaceships in GH, BM, and...

Former PF1 players who jumped into 5E, and now a few years later need "more" without going back to the PF 1 "mess" they left behind? I cannot imagine that is the only group- but I am sure that was taken into account. As I've stated before- I think PF2 seems more like the game Jason always...

Xanathar's Guide To All The $hit You Complained About That Wasn't In The First One

It was. And there have always been 3PP supplements for CoC- since 1982. Theatre of the Mind Enterprises anyone? Grenadier minis wrote a book, nd plenty of others. Wasn't Delta Green originally a 3PP product? (still may be?)

I'd like to see PF2 succeed as well, and I was very much looking forward to it thanks to Oblivion Oath (though at times combat DRAGGED ON WAY TOO LONG) I'm not into Golarion, but I am interested in the system- despite the comfort of familiarity with the 3.X/PF system PF1 is too cumbersome at...

If that's the most interesting bit though, that's more of same type of thing TSR did with a mass of product in the '90's- wannabe novelists writing gaming products that sat on shelves (at the store, and home) It's entirely possible to write up a setting with minimal backstory and have a more...

I spent some time over on the Paizo boards this morning going through threads in the 1E and 2E forums- The following items seemed to stick out to me. 1) People wishing Paizo well, but sticking with PF1 because they have so much product and don't want to convert (or at least not for several...

I'm not usually into posting masturbation/self quoting but something came to mind :D The magic items Matt speaks about, and one of the new magic types draws heavily on past ages- The artifacts were the weapons/items of ancients of great power. One of the magic systems allows you to draw upon...

IDK if anyone else mentioned this-(and I don't feel like dredging through 500+ posts) but the D&D Beyond yootoob channel has a bunch of videos discussing things in the book including the crunch. From what Matt talks about the setting doesn't really capture my imagination - he speaks...

I am also a Pastel Gatekeeper

You are correct- and thanks for the FYI. 154 items came up when I searched. Most of it is the SOS typical of PF/3.x (player facing crunch), but I did see quite a few adventures in a casual look-see. Several of the companies producing these are familiar to me/I've heard of (Rogue Genius, Sneak...

Check out Runequest- While the classic (and once again core) setting Glorantha in the current RQ is high magic/high mythology, the core systems from the RQ 3rd edition (Avalon Hill), the Mongoose versions (MRQ1 and MRQ2- now called Legend I believe), the Design Mechanism (RQ6 and Mythras) or...

Context matters- I did vote bad thing. i.e. boring, lacking creativity, etc. When I use it, It's usually in the negative. Just like when I use "vanilla" to describe something that is not food. Boring, bland, ho-hum, nothing special, etc, Interestingly enough, I don' t use other flavors to...

Who, and why?

Making fun of him? Not sure where I said anything of the kind- you are reading something into my post that is not there.. As I said though, it is an akward post from a business perspective.

Did you ever use/try the PF Unchained three action system previously?
