Is this available through Paizo or just SJG?

I honestly have no idea what Type40 is or what they do or what this means for PF/SF based on that corporate-speak press release. Same, but there is a link Apparently, they make things. Could be cool.
Side Note: The mention of kobolds and devils has reminded me of the brilliant and hysterical Mr. Pett's adventure "The Devil Box" from Paizo's run of Dungeon Magazine (#109). Great Stuff! and I just dug out that issue and it has an amusing forward from a younger Mr. Jacobs serving as associate editor back then. : )
I've always had a soft spot for kobolds and love the Paizo redesign. I was running a kobolds-only party through the Iron Gods AP on the boards (To KoBoldly Go!) pre-2e. We got about halfway through the AP before covid and other things derailed it. I just loved the idea of kobolds getting their little claws on blasters and explosives, but they were disappointingly well behaved little scamps in the campaign. It helped that there were all sorts of aliens and non-standard humanoids for allies.
WoW! That's nearly double my number. That's impressive : )
Great News!
I truly did not expect PBP to languish during the lockdown, but yes, I think a new era of virtuality has presented more options and the end times have meant lots of life changes for folks. My PF1 PBP game that I've been running like 10 years(!) is still mostly going, though the future is uncertain, so i've kept a toe in PF1, but my new game groups are all DND 5e. Thus, I haven't really played PF2 other than here and it's just a lot of work trying to recall how Mikos works. I am totally enjoying this game and group, but it's another barrier to posting for me. I feel like I'm having bandwidth issues as well. Sadly, I think this is an opportunity for a clean break for me, too. Thanks so much for running Nomad Sage and I have truly enjoyed the company of my fellow adventurers. We'll always have Minkai!
I still can't get in on my phone, but notebook is OK.
Ahoy DW! It's been a few years since we last adventured together. What do we have for ancestries so far? Looks like bird and halfling? I think I may try kobold. I get the impression that they're pretty common in this world, no?
Oy, I'll give 5e cleric a try. Don't know much about Midgard, but Arcane domain sounds OK if you want someone St. Helba specific.
Looks like the last Paizo update locked a bunch of folks out. I'm just getting back in. If anyone can read this but not login, try clearing out all the Paizo cookies from your browser and you should be able to get in. Hey Scranford, don't know much about Midgard, but I'm pretty open for a 5e game. I'll check out the thread.
Hmmmm, I got locked out after the Paizo update the other day. Anyone who can see this, but can't login, try clearing all your paizo cookies off your browser before signing in.
Same here. Two players, maybe 3, just disappeared from one game. I think that campaign's over, sadly. It was fun. All kobold party made it 2/3 through the Iron God's AP. My other game has two players that are overwhelmed w work, family, holiday season, 2020, etc. so we may just take a break. That game is going on 10 yrs so hopefully we'll keep her going.
huh, I guess the thought may have been that the victim could readjust their grip on their turn, but that's weak. I would have thought that a success knocks their weapon to the ground and a crit success allows you to grab the weapon in your free hand. Wasn't that like a monk class feat or a feat tree or something in 3.5 or PF1? SO nothing happens if the victim goes right after you? I'd prob house rule that the effect remains until the end of the victim's turn so at least a success gives an attack penalty for their turn.
what are we talking about here?
I think the big basic change is that everything just keeps scaling up as you gain levels. That makes sense to me in the consistent rules sense, but grates on me a bit style wise. Everything ramping up so far beyond mundane levels just feels more like a superhero game. I like grittier low-level action. and why does the difficulty of skill checks suddenly become beyond reach. Joe the commoner can't climb a wall today bc it went from DC 15 to DC 30 when the PCs reached mid levels. huh? EDIT: now that I think about it: is it just DC 30 for the PCs and still DC 15 for the commoner? DCs scaling with skill levels would make more sense. yeah, I still don't know PF2 that well. just too much going on.
Yeah that Electric Grasp wasn't really my thing. Was there an update, suddenly my spell DC and attacks are way up. I think I made the same mistake. I didn't realize that I was still using the beta release or whatever it was and not the final released version. That did clean up a lot and I understand the system better, but I'm also just not recalling pretty basic rules. I don't know if it's just too many variations in my head or I'm just getting old :p
"In order to defeat evil, you must become evil." I think that is also a Paizo thing. I love their material, but I think every AP has some quandary where you have to ally w a lich, harpy, demon, what have you.
It's been a while since I played these (ran Feast, played in Brinewall) but recall that they are both excellent and a bit tough (esp Feast finale). I'd say, yes. Level up.
Anyone else getting the subject message when trying to add items to cart? Yes. Same here. Clearing my cache worked. Thanks.
Will this volume have a full article/gazetteer on Katapesh?Nope. We did an entire book on Katapesh, and it remains fully usable from the flavor side of things if you want to expand on this adventure though. Dark Markets remains one of my favorite PF books. Big recommendation.
yep. that's the one I use for PF1 and they're really good at getting in the updates.
Congratulations on the stellar tadpole!
Oh, we didn't beat the spider's stealth? What was the "7" we were rolling against? I'm just trying to understand the mechanics.
Fair enough in the initiative actions. It looks PF2 has dropped the surprise round and that makes things a little awkward for ambush encounters. In PF1, PCs roll for perception and initiative and only those that make the perception check could go on their initiative in the surprise round. PF2 melds those rolls so it's slightly different. In this case, I'd prob have made the higher perception rollers aware of the spider as it began to act so they could resolve their action before it went e.g. spotting the hatch in the side of the pit pop open and long, pale arachnid legs dart out. my 2 sp.
I think well be waiting for the complete rules for a whole lot of info. The playtest is really just about testing mechanics. I very much like the change to silver standard. It's something I've toyed around with in the past. The prob with gold standard is that only gold is used. copper and silver become meaningless and platinum is too rare. It's really just a style thing, but I like the more diverse use of coin and more realistic feel imo.
I figured it's more a play on Acheron, the river of sorrow crossed by ferry to reach the underworld.
Drahlneep- did you level yet?
At least the version in seeing in the orig. PF2 rules expands it with each spell action component added: s-touch; s,v- reach; v,s,m-30 foot burst. It sounds to me like the 'channeling ' class ability works just like bonus castings of the heal spell at whichever of these levels you wish. VSM for the old channel effect, but you could just touch some one for a quick 1-action heal.
I see the point on channeled healing getting out of hand. I just had a cleric join a long running game where we just had an Oracle available and it totally changed combat with wave after wave of hp refreshing. If they wanted to nerf that I could see maybe a min 1 channel/ day as the floor with Cha bonus added on, but totally taking a way a class ability based on a secondary stat is weak.
Ditto on the hp. I miss the old one hit 6 hp goblins, but the extra hp for players isn't awful. Goose and Gander, I guess.
huh, well that's just stupid to kill a core class feature that uses an ability which isn't even a key ability. sounds like it's the same as resonance now? not even, bc at least resonance is based on level, right? i'd house rule channel back to what it was. that's just ridiculous.
Didn't see anything specific, but I'd likely rule that it would be an affliction with a Sick 1 result. Interval of an hour. So -1 on all rolls until you make a save attempted after each hour. Max duration of four hours. There is this, which sounds fun: You can spend an action retching in an attempt to recover, which lets you attempt a Fortitude save against the DC of the effect that made you sick. On a success, you reduce your sickness value by 1 (or by 2 on a critical success).

Kaul sees a translucent pale copy of the body below flying up from the bottom of the pit. Even as he begins to shift back, he feels a big push from behind by some unseen hand!
Off to the Crusades! I was actually thinking of a Low Templar type character. Original thought was a Son of Brevoy. Born and raised in Restov. Trained in an Aldori dueling school. Ambitious, believer in causes: first the rebellion against Surtova which was little more than talk, then an expedition to the Stolen Lands which fell apart due to fractious infighting, finally joining the Crusade only to be robbed of his prized Aldori blade on the dangerous West Sellen route. Thrice burned, he doesn't believe in anything now except strong ale and easy pickings... at least that's my thoughts at the moment.
Doesn't it say up to level 13? That's almost another AP there! it could be a little more sandbox though. I'm interested. Maybe a jaded cad-type fighter this time.
Huh. Looking back over the thread, we made decent time until Tide of Honor. That was almost 3 years to get through.
I hear that. Not overly impressed with Dead Suns so far which isn't very, but the GM is putting in a great effort to build atmosphere and the Shirren Beatnik I'm playing is very fun. I def like the 3 book AP approach they'll be taking with SF coming up.
Anyone playing Starfinder? I'm in a PbP for Dead Suns and having a pretty good time.
I always imagined Deep Purple because... that's some HEAVY METAL!
You mean trash woman surprise show up and neegan rescue? Hey, watching the Garbage Pail Kids go down the Dispos-all was good fun. I was kinda hoping Jadis would just disappear and show up down the road as Alpha, but I don't think that's gonna happen. Too bad. Dunno what she's doing with Negan... better be good. As for last night's ep. The bio-warfare ploy was weak in the comic and not all that great here, though the homage to Night of the Living Dead was alright. and although initially WTF? leaving the front door open, they did talk about the heat and having personally tried to sleep on a hot sweaty southern summer night- yeah, you'd leave the door open if at all possible. The Henry thing was full on stupid though. I won't argue there. Woulda been bearable if he'd shot Gregory.
Flaming zombie grudge match! lots and lots of guts! It seems like they're back to letting Nicotero work his magic which is to the good.
After a lackluster first half this season, TWD is bringing it lately. The Question is, Is anyone still watching?
Nice update! I particularly like that new products are front and center and by month. I didn't find it productive to have to dig through the site to see what I needed to buy next... Only gripe is that the font is too small for those approaching bifocal age.
Some of you grognards may remember this sweetie: leucrotta They creeped me out in the day and now I have this to give me new nightmares:
37. A necklace of crawdad claws. 38. A molted spider hat. 39. A skirt of frogs' legs.
I'm working on a solution for next week's game. We'll see how it works. Does it involve SPREADSHEETS?!!! |
