    Pathfinder 2E Paizo announced Tian Xia World Guide, Character Guide, and the Season of Ghosts adventure path.

    $80? I forgot how much this stuff costs for non-subscribers. Yeah I got it. It's very good. There is one culture in there that seems a bit "on the nose" as a North Korea proxy, but it's less "copy-paste direct than some discussion of it implied. Once I read it I was fine with it. We've only 1...

    Pathfinder 2E AP Sales numbers?

    That reads like an over reaction. I'd not read so much into things. AV and Kingmaker are very popular right now because they have Foundry integration and pretty recent. Newer APs have yet to come into force as much because the average AP takes 1-2 REAL LIFE YEARS to run for many groups. They...

    Pathfinder 2E AP Sales numbers?

    One thing to note is that a lot of people these days have Pathfinder subscriptions. So there are a lot of sales happening that are just 'automatic'. Since the release of the Gatekeepers AP, I've been mailed / PDF'd every thing Paizo makes for Pathfinder, including the PDF only Pathfinder...

    Pathfinder 2E Healing as a Playstyle in Pathfinder 2e

    In one shots I've also played a Druid and an Air / Water Kineticist. The Druid did not hold up well in combat, but excelled out of combat because I had feats to spare for solid medicine skills even though I did not go down the berry route (at the time I wasn't sure of my ability to have berries...

    Pathfinder 2E Healing as a Playstyle in Pathfinder 2e

    For me I do both. I like healers and I'm playing a Kineticist / Bard right now, that will soon also be a Blessed One. Free Archetype game so I'm going nuts with it. We're level 5, so I only have my first Kineticist heal, but I also have a fast healing ability through bard, and battle medicine...

    How Visible To players Should The Rules Be?

    Interesting. In a very different thread on reddit's PF2E forum I gave an answer to my perspective on this. Over there the question was about power gaming, etc... That got me thinking about how in video games and especially MMOs a very frequent theme is to 'build for the meta'. To build for the...

    Pathfinder 2E The starknife hurts my brain

    At least it's not as bag as a Klingon weapon. But fantasy and SciFi are full of weapons like that that look cool in art but have obvious flaws with 'lack of force multiplication' or 'bad grip' or things like leverage, holding, stability, weight balance, structural integrity, and so on. It is...

    ICv2 Reports Disappointing Year For Hobby Games Channel: TTRPGs Down, D&D Declines 30%

    My YouTube subs only just caught up to this thread existing so I'm a little late to the thread on this one. This has probably been noted already but this almost seems inline with the intentions for both WotC and Paizo. WotC seems to want people to move over to digitial purchases. Paizo really...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder Monster Core

    Anywhere they didn't match their mythology origins (if such existed), which is almost everywhere, essentially can be called setting specific. And anything which didn't have a mythology origin would be setting specific by that very fact alone. I do not know how well the Monster Core creatures do...

    Pathfinder 2E Simplified PF2e?

    I'm not sold on this as an approach to simplifying PF2E. I don't think it's the feats that make PF2E a medium-light complexity game (I've been at this since 1980, so to me PF2E is only medium-light compared to what I recall from the 3.x and earlier days. I consider 5E to be light complexity and...

    Paizo never been in the loop anyone know what is going on?

    Very active game and community. If you look on YouTube you will likely run into a video by some guy saying why he's quiting the game and giving a huge list of problems with the system. Just know that the guy's own players debunked his video - he'd heavily changed the rules, complained about the...

    Pathfinder Rage of Elements Review

    Pathbuilder updated with the ability to make a kineticist. https://pathbuilder2e.com/app.html So people can play around with builds for the class now. EDIT: It's fully out now. In Foundry and Archives of Nethys as well.

    Starfinder Paizo Announces The New STARFINDER ENHANCED!

    Yeah it's going to be really awkward. That said, there are people who still play Pf1E. So there will probably also be people who prefer SF1E. But the market for those product probably just shrank by a major amount today.

    Paizo Announces Starfinder 2nd Edition

    I wish I could like this because I really want "fantasy Sci Fi" but they did everything wrong in the Starfinder setting from my preference POV. I wanted fantasy in space - they gave us all new sciFi ancestries, not tied to any 'fictional IP' I have an attachment to nor even any 'mythos' to...

    Starfinder Paizo Announces The New STARFINDER ENHANCED!

    I hope they do skip it. The printing costs will not be worth it given it's unlikely to sell well. That money should go to other things.

    Pathfinder Rage of Elements Review

    My initial impression was the new class was horribly unbalanced in a too powerful way. With the right impulses you can make some pretty insane builds. People have talked me down from that somewhat. It's likely you can't get all those "right" impulses and some of them are not as flexible as they...

    Pathfinder Rage of Elements Review

    I believe Paizo misread their community when they 'somewhat' "forced" all their casters to be support / utility. You can build around that to be a DPS, but in so doing you're moving against the grain, as even the upcoming cantrip nerf helps to show. Cantrips were, after all, an easy path to...

    Pathfinder Rage of Elements Review

    I don't know what those are. But what the class more or less gives is an 'MMO Mage'. The closest MMO equivalent is probably midway between the Guild Wars 2 Elementalist and the World of Warcraft Mage. BUT that's a reference many might also not have. So... It is basically a 'near pure DPS'...

    Pathfinder 2E Why No Big 3PP Support for PF2?

    This response has an extremely high chance of completely derailing the topic as this issue is one of extreme disagreement in the PF2E community right now. I recommend that if we continue this tangent - it get forked into it's own topic. So PF2E is Vancian Casting. You have x slots per day. If...

    Pathfinder 2E Confession: I Want to Run PF2 But I Don't Want to Learn It

    The secret to Foundry is that it is EASIER to use the MORE mods you add to it. Assuming you add the right ones. Start with: PF2E workbench anything by the mod maker 'Monk'. <--- This guy/lady/team is basically "Mr Magic Hands" for the PF2E Foundry playerbase. Pathmuncher both 'PDf import mods...
