Probably. It think that would definitely help with some of the yo-yo issues we experienced.

Plagues tone has some problematic encounter balancing. It was written while the original PF2 books were still being written and edited. My group found Abomination Vaults to be exceedingly difficult from an encounter standpoint as well. Often we had five players and it the encounters were...

My players roll for hit points. If they don’t like the roll I roll for them. They have to keep mine.

SWADE Nights Black Agents A visit to the underworld.

My players chose Curse of the Crimson Throne in PF1. They will using a 15 point point buy from the PF1 rulebook. The PF1 APs are designed around that so we might as well use. It might lessen the amount of encounter changes I’ll need to make early on. I’m half convinced high-point point buys...

As a series of signposted leveled zones it would work fine. As a random encounter/ procedurally generated game not so much. 4e really want less, more complicated fights. It doesn’t work particularly well with ‘you open the door and there’s two orcs’. It wants big design spaces for the large...

My preference is non-essentials but I do use the Rules Compendium and monster manuals from the Essentials Era. Player facing material comes pre-Essentials. I also give players the feat tax math fixes at first level. The offline compendium is updated with the errata and in many cases the MM3...

Roll20 has an implementation that works especially with the macro generator that is out there. For automation in Roll20 for 4e you use a lot of macros, one for each power. Again there’s an online macro writer, you input the parameters and it spits out the macro. Fantasy Grounds has a good...

4d6-L arranged to taste. If your stats don’t meet the standard array you can take it. Last couple of times though we’ve done poor buy. I’m gearing up for a PF1 game when my SWADE Nights Black Agents game ends in a couple of weeks. I want this to be kinda old school so I may go with straight...

Can I interest you in Imperium Maledicum from Cubicle 7? It’s the new 40k rpg to replace the Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader/Always War games.

Peter F Hamilton’s Nights Dawn Trilogy Simon R Green’s Deathstalker Universe Simon R Green’s Hawk and Fisher books

Typically I want a dungeon limited in scope, strongly themed with dynamic locations interactions. I want to be able to complete it in two or three sessions and I don’t want it to be the focus of the campaign.

There's some things you can do to mitigate the Bennie handout issue. Give them out at the end each scene, or every hour of play, or something similar. The Savage Pathfinder AP's are generally well done. I run a lot of Savage Worlds and I love PF1. Savage Pathfinder has replaced PF1 for me...

There are several active Confrontation groups still around. My understanding is the French and Italians still have an active tournament scene. They are even developing new models and profiles actively. I miss that game so much. We drag it out and play maybe once a year but I still have my...

Tuesday night SWADE Nights Black Agents. Someone else is here too!

If it came down to 4e vs PF2 I’d lean 4e. I think it does the things it sets out to do better, is easier ton run, just as balanced. It needs some corrections. You have to deal with the Feat taxes and MM3 math but after that it’s all gravy. You can Essentials if you want a simpler 4e...

E6/P6 maybe? Lowish level 3.x doesn’t take a ton of time.

Deadlands Night Train backer. The original is a good but brutal adventure. I’m hoping this is just as rough for SWADE.

I’d open my wallet. There’s a gubon the whfrp facebook group who runs his games with legos. I think he’s printing custom parts and pulling from the medieval and pirate sets. I see his posts and am unnaturally jealous.

In a game like this it should probably be the default requirement
