In terms of what there is, yeah, third parties do tend to promote there and people do discuss the different variants a lot as well as their own, I got a lot of people's personal hero point house rules when I recently posted a picture of my player rolling double 1s with a hero point lol.

Yup, the biggest PF2e community anywhere too.

- credit to the reddit OP for the chart of course but I thought I'd share, this is stratospheric and unprecedented, the sub is flooded with new players and questions, its exciting times.

I'm not OP, but I actually expected more representation for just about every option on the poll-- a subset of people running for a slew of PBTA games, Cortex, Fate, etc. I actually happened to buy OSE Advanced Fantasy literally five minutes before you mentioned it though, funny enough, it...

I jumped ship to Pathfinder on Second Edition's release (you see me around here mostly for the General DND type conversations that have the overlap), looking at the poll, welcome to the potential new people to my fave system?

Hmm, if you like dnd-esque horror, then Malevolence was good from what I ran before the group fell apart for other reasons, its more polished than plaguestone and is very vibe heavy, it also learns from the hardness of the early adventures and is more moderate in that respect. Its a one book...

Yeah and the leadership did elect to accept the union without them forcing the issue in the end, I think it really worked out well from what we've seen, ultimately the Union is incentivized to make sure the company can operate and no one is under any illusions about Paizo's position in the...

I think there was a fear that they'd get backlash from a more aggressive errata process from gamers who don't want their physical books to be invalidated, and a desire to keep the amount of errata down in general from the perception that a large errata list would make the game seem broken and...

Yeah, they could also find themselves supported by some other interests as well though, walled gardens are big money, or it might just not matter since its not in the tech space in the first place.

Admittedly, I wouldn't be shocked if the goal is to prepare the way for SLAPP suits and make it like Fair Use, where you're technically allowed to do a bunch of things but they have enough of a pretext of wrongdoing to force legal action you can't afford-- WOTC could maintain the legal position...

True, but OneDND doesn't exist yet, and I imagine siloing THAT content off is their goal.

Unless it specifically suggests NEW works can't use the 1.0 license and have to use the 1.1

I mean, even Stephen and Mark are flabbergasted and practically can't believe it beyond the fact that they have complete faith in the source.

If it's real, I'm sure it's paraphrased to some extent for brevity, but assuming Stephen and Mark are genuine (and I absolutely would, personally), they had no question in their minds that their sources would have the access.

Grain of salt, but apparently there was a leak of the 1.1, posting it here because I think Seifter probably isn't lying about the reliable source. The vod is of a stream, apparently they receive it partway through the show. Edit: The 39-minute mark is when they start talking about it. edit:

Sorry for a little bit of a necro, but on the discussion of backstory driven neotrad play from earlier in the thread one way to integrate character backstory and narrative (in order to satisfy the modern taste) to a megadungeon is to fill (or add to/alter) your megadungeon with backstory...

Yup, it was more just describing my experience of it being relatively easy to adjust to suit the framing, in regards to the intersection of skill stuff and the vp systems. But as for Adventures, yeah, I tend to see published adventures as being more mass market since they need to move volume--...

It's hard to say, I will note that the players coming into TTRPG now are generally informed by video games in respect to their tastes in greater numbers than before, which heavily feature violence as a primary form of engagement nearly across the board, even cozy slice of life farming game...

I'm not sure, I didn't notice it was overly combat heavy in Malevolence, but I don't play a lot of official adventures. I think part of it is that for all we talk about changing interests in the player bases of TTRPGs, people really do consistently like fighting monsters. My group does a bunch...

The PF1e community certainly had people who would see things that way, so its not too shocking. Groups that spend a lot of time on those other things tend to be able to do it anyway (like spending way more time chatting up the provided NPCs), but i think the GM who 'has to' make encounters would...
