Just a joke, Paul. This is for sure a response to the resurgent popularity of D&D brand D&D. Pathfinder had a large market share during the 4e days. Must have shrunk.
pathfinder can only improve, just like 4e could only improve. 3e was 18 years ago.
as a person that plays pathfinder I really hope that the new edition streamlines this somewhat. I'm pretty sure that at least 10-15 minutes per session is spent trying to interpret a rule, of which there are many, and of which even more are ignored.
My first reaction was "hey they're copying 5e!" but some of the action stuff that they're doing could be interesting? E6 is awesome though Bryan Mullins, hits the sweet spot for those kind of mathy build games and actually being able to play them.
The Pathfinder 2.0 story was the last thing I saw before leaving Facebook and so many reactions amounted to "why does Paizo have to be a business and make money though? That's not fair to me!"
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
First I heard of this. I actually like things about Pathfinder, just not the game itself. Maybe that'll change.
ReplyDeleteSomehow someone will posit that this is proof that the OSR "won"
ReplyDeleteThere's already been skirmishes with the Starfinder faction. Pathfinder purists HATE any kind of streamlining!
ReplyDeleteLaser shots fired!
ReplyDeleteI miss the simple days when we frolicked in green fields with only 48 character classes and 52 races

ReplyDeletesomeone tell me about starfinder's grappling rules
ReplyDeleteBryan Mullins I had no idea the PSR had already started! Now we need old-school Adventure Paths like they had in the early 2000's.
ReplyDeleteOSR vs Pathfinder? Aren't we actually looking at a Pathfinder offensive vs D&D5e?

ReplyDeleteOops. Sorry for being dense. :/

ReplyDeleteI'm still giggling at "Pathfinder purists," Jay Exonauts.
ReplyDeleteGood god... imagine the horror of owning the complete library of all 637 Pathfinder books, only to witness the rise of Pathfinder 2nd Ed.

ReplyDeleteFucking nerds, nothing changes
This was a pretty good overview of P2, as it exists today.

Mike Overbo Oh, it could get much worse. D&D4 was terrible to me.
ReplyDeleteMay the odds be ever in your favor.
ReplyDeleteJason Bell, I'm reasonably certain that the state of tabletop RPGs will never get worse than the 4e period. I hope those days are behind you.
ReplyDeleteNow we have so many choices, besides the always-present "don't upgrade"
All my dreams have come true.
