If your gods are typical mythological gods who don't know everything an augury could be wrong even if the rolls are good.

I think the thing we miss a lot talking about bad DM's is a significant percentage of them are new DM's just trying to hold the game together while they figure it out. I don't have any numbers but I bet that 9 percent one would be well below 1/2 that if you take those guys who are just...

about 40 bucks a book. I can afford more but that's my limit unless it just Freaking WOWS me. Otherwise, I'll get a Humble bundle or we'll share a book at the table. I'm well aware that the books I mowed lawns for in 1975 at 20 bucks each may have been more expensive in real dollars back...

I feel obligated to point out not all characters are good and not all parties are good. Though I agree they are the vast majority.

Self correcting is a trait of self awareness and use of intelligence guided by wisdom. Not an alignment trait. Libertarians embrace chaos. They think people will adjust and it will all be ok without rules. Self correcting for your mistakes or to change how you do things to obtain goals is...

One: it provides a framework for god's followers in a system where the gods are directly interacting and giving specific advise and guidance on how to behave. Two: at it's heart the game is structured around conflict it helps a new GM to divide things into groups to help them decide who will...

problem is it leaves the realm of impulse purchase now. Id love to see the number of people that buy one or two but not all three of the quarterly softcovers. I'll be interested to see if they increase profits or not taking out the cheaper option for someone that may only be interested in...

I've never met more than a few of those DM's over the years. They exist but I don't think they are more than a percent or two of the DM population. DM's terrified to stretch the envelope because they've seen other great DM's are far more prevalant IME.

Just killing the weaker damage dealing, generally less important NPC's l, is the definition of clean up crew. Kill the small ones so melee can have the heroic moment with the big ones. Meshes perfectly with the PF2 design focus of all non melee's just being support for melee.

You are so wrong. Drones are what keep the Pentagon up at night. The ones that have scared them the most in the Ukraine are the fiber optic drones that jammers don't detect or stop. The Pentagon is looking at a new world order where anyone can build drones in their garage that are the...

So the new spot for magic is clean up crew? Interesting.

They've been throwing waves of drones at Russia for over a year now. If you dig deep enough the Pentagon has people working with them to learn what they learn to make our drones better. Probably not overblown.

Well PF2e doubled down on its strong group of players that like the game to be more tactical. They locked in the fact that the game assumes all non melee combatants are support classes. Any non melee class will have far more impact bugging and supporting melee than doing anything else. A lot...

Well player "skill" in An RPG is just rules mastery and extreme min maxing. Not really skill. Just putting the Lego's together to achieve what DM hadn't considered. When GM starts planning games to ou think 6 players then an escalation 8nsues that all but insures that the game will lose all...

It's a story as old as time. Armored thing hard to kill till it isn't. Now one infantryman with the right missile or one drone equipped properly and tank is done. . It's got every 1st and second world nation terrified. The Ukrainian are stripping parts and batteries out of totalled electric...

Your players must be easier to satisfy. I've had thieves that want smart sneaky dogs, bards that want performing dogs, etc. etc. I haven't had a player ask for a war dog or hunting dog for a long time.

5 unarmed men with basic training with crossbows and daggers could easily take out a single knight. The knight can't run them down, the knight can only fight when they engage and eventually he'll tire first. That leaves out pits, killing the horse at full gallop, ropes, maces hammers. Picks...

Dogs are hard. You go from Chihuahua to mastiff to Great Dane. You really could do a 15 or 20 page creature manual on just dogs.

Seriously a lot of armor is really overrated. People don't know that knights where like tanks they required support. Men at arms shield men etc. one of the things that eventually killed armor along with guns was that once the men in armor were separated from support units 3 or 4 unarmored men...

The consistent argument I've had on this for years is that you'll have more true believers. When Angels or similar beings are showing up and helping faith is a logical confirmable thing. Also the one that seems to be hardest for people to grasp. active Dieties will most likely strike down...
