Yeah, Dark Archive had an actual hidden adventure in it, and Howl of the Wild had some really fun narrative stuff. Honestly more books should do narrative stuff; the old Shadowrun splats that covered stuff like Renraku Arcology or the Chicago disaster were amazing uses of those narrative devices.

When I'm at a physical table? I make note of things and maybe vaguely take heed of what is or isn't lit ("Oh, you'll need to move about the room with the torch to see the entire mural"). For VTT, it does the work for me, which is nice. Playing online has some disadvantages, but it also comes...

Let's do the big one first. There is a difference between "supremacy" and "complete supremacy", hence why I included it. I've never denied that the GM gets final say, but I also think that the GM should be fairly willing to try and include the players in what they want to be included. If your...

Also worth remembering that a bunch of spells are technically legacy content since the remaster. There are certainly a good amount of spells, but many more that haven't been remastered.

I'm sorry, but there isn't any sort of "clarification" from Baker attempting to "correct" anything. He says "if we didn't include it, don't let it stop you from using it". The lore is not the barrier for it, nor should it be. That's the point of what I was saying, but here you are trying to...

Yeah, but Eberron also specifically says it takes multitudes and you can fit in whatever you like, so it's not using its length as an excuse to cut down on people's character concepts, which is the point being made. Adventure paths are scripts, not just lore. And God help me, those generally...

Yeah, I really relate to this. The whole idea that the PCs are in your world going through your story is foreign to me. I tried doing that when I was younger and they just didn't work; it took some time before I realized that I'm not telling my story, but helping my players tell theirs that...

Uh, wow. So this thread is a trip. I had wanted to comment earlier but when I went from the first... 15 or so pages and skipped to here, I had no clue how the heck we drifted so far. Spent the rest of the early morning trying to catch up. Anyways... To comment on the original topic of the...

Powering through isn't mandatory, but I like it because it forces people to still use higher spell slots for those incapacitation spells because, the threat of taking extra damage becomes incredibly real when you double the spell level and the enemy is already at half health. You could...

This would be post-Remaster, which may have helped a bit. But also his luck seems damn good and he edges out crits like nobody's business. I do sometimes wonder if he'd do better if he were using, say, a crossbow instead, but people want to sling guns with gunslingers. Definitely don't see him...

No, not in the Mwangi Expanse. That would be the Golden Road region of Golarion. It's worth noting that several areas of Golarion (Absalom, the Shining Kingdoms, the Impossible Lands, and Tian Xia) have gotten books, which means that the Golden Road is likely to get something in the future...

Yeah, part of not doing it for PCs was to keep things heroic, the other was to avoid bunches of options around it because I was just writing it as quick as possible. I do get the appeal of it and how it can work in the fiction, certainly: even a few levels higher, getting surrounded by a horde...

Hello! It's been a while since I've done this, but reading through some posts and having put my campaign on a brief hiatus got me to thinking about how to spice things up and address issues other people seem to have with the game. And when it comes to issues with the game, one of the obvious...

Yeah. PF2 protects niches. Mages can still do a ton of stuff, but they're not going to be able to take over the single target damage part of things, otherwise you bring back all the problems of the other stuff. I mean, we have a joke at this point about him headshotting BBEGs with massive...

More like they are better at crowd-control than melee-focused builds, but I find that people with weapons typically are better at causing damage than those with magic, which is fine: magic can cause damage, but it's power is in its versatility. Magic is a Jack of All Trades, it can't do...

I don't generally play APs, but it's probably a better change on the whole than not. Like, one of the reasons I'm generally more skeptical of APs done in installments is that I can start a game without actually fully knowing what I'm setting up. There's the possibility that I mix up some...

Wonder Woman '84 It definitely gives him a... unique look.
