    Heroic Fantasy and TTRPG: The Relative Utility of Common Denominator Settings

    Discourse in the 'larger' tabletop roleplaying space is often concerned with what sort of stories or types of game play a given system is good to emulate, and inevitably these discussions often pare down into very mechanical examinations of those systems and how they intersect with particular...

    Pathfinder 2E Healing as a Playstyle in Pathfinder 2e

    One thing I've been catching myself thinking about lately is how well Pathfinder 2e handles healing as a playstyle, for one thing its very useful to have someone actively on it dedicated to it (or for multiple someone's to pick up smaller forms of it) for taking on encounters on the upper end of...

    I got the write up here! Those are some very choice Witch Buffs, and I like the replacement for spell school wizards, my first thought was that True Strike is spoiling to be used as a first level Battle Magic take, since it is inarguably on theme.

    Thinking About the Purpose of Mechanics from a Neo-Trad Perspective

    Pathfinder 2E (WIP) Secrets of Old Pandora, Drafting my vision for a Pathfinder 2e West Marches

    So I was thinking about it and I realized that my upcoming west marches campaign (which is still a good 5-8 months out) would probably be of interest to some of the users here. This document is a work in progress, and mainly functions as a place for me to store my ideas, work through some...
