For me, Jason Bulmahn (Paizo) sums up my feelings with: Pretty much how I feel about all my hobbies. If you're as passionate about what I'm passionate about, then anything else about you is secondary. And it just so happens, from personal experience, this is also the best way to change other's...

@Micah Sweet Didn't realize enough changed to warrant a conversion guide... @Alzrius Google "ACKS System Compatibility Guide PDF", that's the document you want to look through. Looks mostly to be tables with name changes to get away from the OGL.

Pretty skeptical of how good this could possibly be, but that trailer gave me a good laugh so will certainly be checking it out.

I think this is also good practice. I hate to admit it, but when I see a common OSR logo I immediately loose a bit of interest. At a time of oversaturation, the last thing you want is to seem generic. This goes with adding too many systems on it too. If you have Shadowdark, PF2E, OSE, and 5E on...

@Simon Miles Love it! Conveys absolutely everything I want to know right away.

Now that you mention it, I can't recall the last time I saw a generic OSR logo on anything I've bought... Most just say it with plain text or have a cool unique logo. Personally, I'd take the corner banner route myself:

Recommend running an Adventure Path before creating your own (they're all pretty cool and well designed, IMO) and make the beginning of the campaign (first book) just having fun and learning about the system. PF2e is quite complicated and will take time "get right". In the mean time, error on...

I prefer a mix myself. Race/Species/etc are intrinsically different than humans physically which modifies stats accordingly, but Class/Background also plays a part in what those scores are as well. One of the reasons I'm so enamored with the PF2 system at the moment.

I think level-drain is cool as is, but would come up with a fun way to mitigate its effects, such as killing the creature "releases your xp back", lost levels are easier to gain back (4x bonus), or quest to obtain a Greater Restoration. Hate the idea of nerfing it officially or preemptively...

@SteveC Exactly why I wont back until I get to see the rules. Hopefully they'll release a quick-look with a one-shot adventure when they go live.

I wonder if that's why they brought on Shawn Tomkin (Ironsworn)? I'd imagine solo-RPGs need a lot of tables...

I'm especially curious to see the mechanics for handling this!

You took what should have been a compliment and a cool factoid and turned it into an insult... why?

I know I've been critical of these covers in particular, but wanted to take a moment to say I like his work as well and is certainly a great artist.

Ran across the full image of this one and it does make it much clearer what's going on. Apologies if someone already posted and I missed it. Valindra still looks like she's pasted on top a completed picture, but would look cool on the book if they used raised textures. On the other hand...
