At what point does the need for something like this to be a "+ thread" veer into acknowledgement of a bog standard edition war, do you think?

I pretty much agree, it's probably the best game on the market right now, in terms of DND-likes (humorously, including DND) though I do find it funny how the Pathfinder forum on enworld is mainly made up of people who don't seem to like Pathfinder but are constantly flirting with running it and...

Catching up a little on the conversation, if for the sake of Starfinder you did happen to keep going with the game, and reviewing your other comments in the thread, my main advice-- only if you're sticking with the game, if you've got your heart set on switching systems go for it; would actually...

Yeah its kind of interesting-- there's a lot of games that are much 'simpler' to run face to face, particularly with that emerging as such a huge value in the indie scene over the last 10-20 years or so, and the OSR, but PF2e is easier to run f2f than 3.5/4e/pf1e were, and I have first hand...

Its ok analog, I run it at the library as our second table, but I do miss my VTT automation.

It does sound like you prefer much lighter weight games, I've heard good things about Fabula Ultima if you don't necessarily want old school flavor to go with lighter rules.

I usually play spellsword tanks in video games-- I think its because I ended up falling in love with the tank role, but was very much obsessed with wizards as a kid so spellswords present a happy medium. Magic has undergone something of a populist revolution over the years-- the means of...

For me, being a bit younger than most of the board, spellswords were everywhere just like regular Fighters and Wizards, and it usually wasn't a matter of getting both-- it was either so firmly integrated that they just kinda fought that way to be equal to fighters and wizards, or everyone/almost...

The depth of the disinterest isn't super relevant, the sitting down at the table and the emerging conflict with the other participants is. There's no level of disinterest that warps the social contract around it, just levels of interest that preclude the formation of that contract. Tolerance...

Its also down to the players themselves, some players are more tolerant of differing play styles than others on a very basic level.

This thread is kind of interesting to me because I don't feel like 5e was built to cater to younger players, I'm 30 and it feels like it was built to cater to someone older than me and the 20/30 somethings that make up my extended playgroup and 2024 feels like as small a step toward something a...

Just chiming in with love and support, I hope things get better, and I also want to second the general sentiment that yeah, there's no sense in running games that are ultimately harming you-- you deserve to feel appreciated when you run games, and to feel like they're a fun part of your life...

I'm actually doing wood/fire myself, I won't get a proper heal until Dash of Herbs later (right now, it costs my target actions and a free hand to eat my fruit, like a potion) but Timber Sentinel is very worth it in terms of filling the same role, especially since its a deterministic reduction...

They're both pretty sick, I think Guardian really needs tuning more than anything else, they have to polish up that catch-22 to really make it shine.

Usually what happened in practice is that unless there was a time crunch, we'd establish what kind of healing our characters were capable of, and then full heal with the knowledge that we most certainly have enough time, actually counting it when time is short as a minigame. If you know for...

That makes sense, I spend a lot of time in exploration and downtime mode too, so for me it's kind of both.

Both, Medic Dedication uses Treat Wounds but benefits Battle Medicine somewhat as well, Elyessa can life boost someone every 10 minutes so in a lot of situations she can just full heal the party, while Nolder's healing just all works out of combat too. I'm thinking primarily of the in combat...
