I received my PDF today! It looks wonderful. I've only had a skim of some of the essays but there are some beautiful essays interviewing Jennell and her legacy. Teared me up a bit, talking about her advocacy for trans rights and her impact. A wonderful day.

Hell yeah!

You used to be able to set the Humble percentage to zero and give all to charity, but they removed that a while ago. At-least you can set the publisher amount to zero still.

I think Pathfinder, Starfinder and Paizo are in a good place. Let WoTC be the top dog. As long as Paizo treats its workers well and keeps making great products, they don't have to be at the top.

naughty word cancer.

Quite interested in picking this up. Castle Amber surprisingly has way too much stuff in it but I do love the variety in allowing me to pick and choose what I run or not; plus, I'd love to see the original and what Jennell produced, so I am looking forward to picking up the book combo (and...

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 still has a huge community around it, a lot centered around modding - Horn of the Abyss is, in my opinion, so excellent it essentially can be treated as a fourth official expansion to the game and the closest to a modern release. It is not surprising that they...

I 'understand it different' because the way you frame it is not what Paizo actually said, because the way you said it implies that it was the 'changes' in the GSL that caused the issue; that didn't help. But GSL or no, the 4e changes seem like they would have pushed Paizo out of Wizard's system...

That's interesting. Paizo Publishing's 10th Anniversary Retrospective—Year 6 (2008) Forging Our Own Path Quoting a lot from the most relevant article. 2007 does mention the license but primarily focuses on the loss of the magazine license as being the bigger problem, and the 4th edition...

This is not true. The GSL is not the reason Paizo made Pathfinder, it's the rule changes in general. They would not have stuck with 4e and would have done their own thing, at-least initially. All your points combined could have meant Paizo would make 4e content at some point, but Paizo decided...

OK, so I am a younger woman and not married, and I have not GM'd very long, so I hope I am not speaking out of turn. But none of this strikes me as a problem relating to being a Game master. Instead, I think it's a problem relating to how others are treating you, and how much you are pushing...

Guaridan needs a decent amount of work, and Commander could do better to support casters beyond movement, but god damn Commander seems pretty god damn cool so far! I think one of my players will be very excited to get their hands on it and use it until its official release!

I think Treat Wounds work best if combats are being strung together or the players have control over the pace of combat to a certain degree, and there is tension over whether or not they would be healed before the next battle.

Bouncing off this, I do wish there were more spells with Heal and Harm's design and more spells that take one action. The variable usage of actions is a great demonstration of the advantages of the three actions per turn system, both by allowing you to create powerful effects, increase tactical...

I am not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread. The main change I would make is a system wide change, not just for Wizard; it would change skill and roll resolution in general. I would add a four degrees of success system, ala Pathfinder 2e. I don't know what the best numbers would be...

That is a possibility. They have commented on redoing full Adventure Paths before; there are a lot of difficulties that have come up for them to do so. Financial, artistically, and time wise. This is a long summary, but I think useful: 1. It is a LOT of work. While there is an outline, they do...

I'm going to be playing PF1e sometime in the future myself, while I continue to run my PF2e game. I think the fact there appears to be good Foundry support for an old system and the rules are available for free in multiple places online means the game will 100% continue to gain new players and...

Not all new technology is good. The industrial revolution made life unarguably worse for people for a very long time, you know. We may have the benefits of that now... but uh. It was not fun to go through for the ordinary person. It created a lot of displaced, hurt people and in a significant...

You could adapt a plot similar to Halo: the AI was given orders to guard or prevent a disease from getting out, and the only method it has of doing this is to kill any spreaders of the disease and then contain it further. The disease is currently contained, but some other group besides the PCs...

Might be for the best. Often the comments directly on articles can be... extremely rough, to say the least.
