    Pathfinder 2E Paizo Officially Supporting Foundry, Free Content Ending

    I complained about the Roll20 content with a Paizo staffer once, and I learned something interesting: the Roll20 implementation was made by Roll20 themselves, and they wholly own it. Paizo can't actually alter or update anything on there. The funny part is that the PF2e community is fairly...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo Officially Supporting Foundry, Free Content Ending

    If I had to guess, based on previous deals with Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds, the Foundry versions will cost the Hardcover price. That's just speculation, mind you, but that's how they've priced it before for the Adventure Paths. As for the rulebooks and token art and whatnot, they've already...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo Officially Supporting Foundry, Free Content Ending

    Man, this hate on the Foundry support just goes to show there's literally nothing Paizo can do to please some people. -Paizo doesn't release paid content for Foundry = Paizo ignores Foundry users and is too stupid to make money. -Paizo does release paid content for Foundry = Paizo is exploiting...

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo Officially Supporting Foundry, Free Content Ending

    I'm with Morrus, Fryguy was doing what was essentially a second job to make Foundry content. And it wasn't like it was free, you had to buy the PDFs. Besides, there is no ban on doing what Fryguy was doing, it isn't like this is a case where Paizo is shutting down fan content. Was Archives of...

    Pathfinder 2E mwangi expanse questions

    Your best source is going to be the book "Lost Omens: Mwangi Expanse", but here's some interesting tidbits related to the miniatures: Some of them, like Walkena and Grandmother Spider, are deities in the setting. Walkena is an ultra-nationalistic undead tyrant that is one of the few living...

    Pathfinder 2E Spellstrike question

    From the spellstrike action: "You Cast a Spell that takes 1 or 2 actions to cast and requires a spell attack roll." Nothing in the language says that the spell being cast must be from your Magus spellslots or cantrips, other sources work just fine.

    D&D General Pathfinder 2E APs for 5E?

    It also ends around level 10. The prospect of balancing and selling original high level adventures in D&D 5e is dicey enough, let alone converting. I'd be interested in seeing a Strength of Thousands AP conversion, for two main reasons. First is that it will pull eyes onto the Mwangi Expanse...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ajit George Talks About Radiant Citadel's Creators

    Because this book is being advertised as boasting solely PoC authorship. It's part of the marketing for this book. If they didn't think it was an advertisable feature they wouldn't mention it, or even seek to make a solely PoC authored book in the first place. Pretty much. Only real downside...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ajit George Talks About Radiant Citadel's Creators

    I get what you're saying, but it's missing the forest for the trees to label this solely segregation. The goal likely isn't to create products whose content and authorship is delineated along racial lines even though the outcome is something close to that. There's a recent vocal push for...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Next D&D Book is JOURNEYS THROUGH THE RADIANT CITADEL

    I don't believe this is correct because it implies WotC is taking community feedback beyond their surveys, or really showing any kind of initiative with their brand and IP. They aren't ignoring us specifically in their plans, they're ignoring everyone that Jeremy Crawford doesn't communicate...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Next D&D Book is JOURNEYS THROUGH THE RADIANT CITADEL

    We got a similar promise from Candlekeep, which did get dark at times but not in ways that are particularly satisfying or engaging. So like many other criticisms towards 5e's approach to lore and world building, I'm of the opinion that it's ultimately due to the deliberately shallow...

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE LIVES! Unearthed Arcana Explores Heroes of Krynn!

    I agree with Barber’s assessment 100%. If anyone asks me why I’m dissatisfied with 5e lore I’m just gonna link this article. Hopefully as the next edition gets closer Wizards will want to hire on world builders worth a damn. Paizo is full of talented writers who would love a pay raise...

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE LIVES! Unearthed Arcana Explores Heroes of Krynn!

    As someone who started with 3e as a kid, Dragonlance is before my time and I know relatively little about it. What would be the big draw to play in the Dragonlance setting rather than FR or Exandria?

    Roll20 Now Has 10 Million Users

    My experience was the opposite, I was already looking for a reason to jump ship when I found Foundry. After years and years of paying a subscription fee to access basic features to see the platform barely improve over it's decade long lifespan I wanted something cheaper that was more...

    The Legend of Vox Machina (Spoilers)

    Just watched episodes 4 through 6, it's a remarkable improvement. The fights have gotten much better, the characterization of the main cast has improved, it feels like the show is starting to hit it's stride.

    Pathfinder 2E PF2 house-rules / variant rules

    I overall like Free Archetype, it does exactly what you say it does, free up character choice for more expression. Not all archetypes are made equal though, and a few of them make me weary of just letting any common archetype get free feats. Beastmaster in particular is egregious; it requires...

    Pathfinder 2E Variant rules for more Hero Point usage

    Something I've noticed in play is that my players feel constrained when it comes to spending rechargeable resources like Hero Points and Focus Points. I want to incentivize them to be more experimental, aggressive and risk taking, so I had some variant rules I wanted some opinions on before I...

    The latter. I don't know where you got the former.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Races: Evolution, Fantasy Stereotypes & Escapism

    I'm not convinced as the body evidence is neither particularly deep or broad. If the major point of comparison is a few words used a few times it doesn't strike me as anything other than coincidence. Perhaps more importantly is that it has to wind back the clock a hundred years to find points...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Races: Evolution, Fantasy Stereotypes & Escapism

    It has been only very recently (the last few years) that I’ve seen this comparison made. The only fantasy property that I’m aware of that makes this comparison deliberately is Bright, and it’s so half assed and awful it’s not worth taking seriously. Tolkien infamously compared his orcs to the...
