Game Master Tyranius

I'm interested too, but know nothing of the rule base - what sources will we be working from?

Too much going on. I'm out on the play-test - but it sounds fun and amazing.

I can start whenever. The only sourcebook as of right now is the Pathfinder 2.0 rulebook found Here (Link).

I'm interested but I'm not a rules guru of the original pathfinder.

Draka needs a ranged weapon QQ

Checking in

Here is a link to the Playtest thread for those that are interested.

Pathfinder 2E Playtest

I'm reading the core book now, and working on a character. Might be a Monk...

I'm looking forward to trying it out. I like what I see so far. :) Lots of flexibility.

Yea there is a ton of flexibility. Especially once you add in the archetypes that basically allows you to multiclass without as big of a loss.

Sorry that link above is actually to the gameplay thread.

Busy at work. Will try to post tonight or tomorrow. I started post, but got back to back work calls. Will try to post on Aoens tomorrow.

Ugh, work calls D:

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all of the Pathfinder 2.0 choices.

Same here, Draka. I do not approve of what they are doing with skills and skill feats. It’s too complicated. And I can’t figure out how Perception is improved. Is it a skill or is it completely separate?

I feel like it’s going to have the same issues I’m having with Starfinder.

What was that video, Dash? That was something else XD

As a heads up, I will be very busy on Saturday.

That video was an edit of all the hockey coach scenes from a Canadian sitcom called Letterkenny. I highly recommend watching it.

Just realized I shared the wrong hockey sequence (but still funny as heck). Here’s the coach doing his thing. Link!

Letterkenny is hilarious.

Yea I like what they did with the classes but the skill feat thing is a bit weird and can be overwhelming. You almost have to break each thing down and take it one at a time in small steps.

The new Herolab really helps to learn the process as it just gives you only the 5-6 choices you actually have at that point. If you don't have I believe some folks created free pdf sheets to fill in to help as well.

Nice LetterKenny clips Dash! I hadn't seen it before, but it seemed to hit home for our current situation.

I love this jam

I love this jam

Yar. That is nice. Any idea where it was shot?

Nope! The video says "Venue: The Night Cat"

Nope! The video says "Venue: The Night Cat"

I see. I really do.

See?

Checks out.

Hey, it's pretty close to Naked For Satan! If you like murals, you should come check out Richmond :D

I'll post tomorrow evening. Sorry for the inconveniences

Sounds good Draka!

Why did that marrowblight want to die over that?"

Technically she didn't want to die. She did surrender hehe

*reading intensifies*

I can't wait until it starts getting cooler outside. (Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING!!! Haha.) I was out at the park today while it was 93F. Not crazy hot, but I live in Virginia so there's a lot of humidity.

It is insane crazy hot. I'm on the opposite coast (Los Angeles, CA) and it's brutal.

I’ve been working on location (all outside, with minimal shade) in the hills of northeastern Washington state for the last three weeks. The first two weeks saw temperatures of 100+. Only now has it dropped down to the high 80’s.

WHAT?!?! Zane, you live in LA?! Isn't it super expensive to live there? What do you do? Omg, how often are you approached by Scientologists?

We have had a cool front come through from the coast this week so it dropped from 122 degrees down to 115-117. Feels amazing!

Highest recorded temperature here is 129 degrees with the average being roughly 100+ at night.

Still working my way through the armory book as there is a ton of good things in there. Namely the first thing that popped out to me are 2 cool hybrid grenades.

There are now summoning grenades! You too could be your very own space pokemon master.

Also healing nanobot grenades.

We alive yet?

How long will the site be up now?

WOW, that was a crazy outage. Anyone know what happened or why?

They took the week off because the Warcraft expansion hit two weeks ago. I joke

That was one of the worst ones yet!

Oh World of Warcraft ate up years of my life. I was the #1 healing priest on my server before I finally called it quits when the panda expansion dropped. Now the story sounds good again, but I just can't bring myself to doing it again. One large hobby at a time. :) Plus it kind of pushed me into Pathfinder here.

@GM Damn glad it pushed you to Pathfinder! Now you can use it as your major TimeSink! Well, The Zane is ready to keep rocking and rolling. Let's get push posting.

Uh, man, how did that vamp identify Vetch's square in the fog? Man...needs a perception check to find the right square or is it different in Starfinder?

I did a bit more research cause I was also thinking it needed a perception check at first but couldn't find much on the situation. But everyone was going back and forth 50-50. Though in a few spots it mentions tracking and pinpointing an unseen creature. Standing still is +40 and moving is +20 to their stealth for the purposes of the perception check. Locating a creature in plain sight is DC 0 so with moving it would make the DC 20.

Basically I am trying to figure out the DC as surprisingly I haven't dealt with Fog Cloud like this too much and have probably been doing it wrong. Or is it normally against a stealth check?

I am more than happy to roll a perception check and retcon that damage as it makes far more sense but just trying to see if it is a flat DC or if you guys need a stealth check each round you are in it.

I am glad it pushed me into Tabletop RPG's as well Zane :)

Bumping this last discussion point since the site went down since I posted it. Want to make sure I am doing it correctly and looking to hear from folks that have worked with Obscuring mist and perception checks for the DC.

I think of it like invisibility after 10’ out in fog because you can’t see the target beyond that point. At which point I think it’s a perception check to ID the square, just like invisibility.

But I would love to hear from others.

I have nothing to add about the mechanics of the spell. Sorry.
My only thought as a GM is that The enemy has height as an advantage, while the obsuring mist probably also goes up at least 15 feet, I do think that her vantage point should offer some added bonus.

Fog is tricky, but I think Vetch has the right idea. It should be a perception check of some kind to determine what square an enemy might be in.

Yup, I was mainly trying to determine if it was a Base DC to go off of or if you each needed to roll stealth checks to base the Perception DC off of.

I've been watching a lot of stand up comedy on Netflix recently

I’ve only watched the Dave Chappelle shows he did for Netflix last year. Very damn funny.

Any suggestions?

My favorite so far has been Ali Wong

Checking in! :D Warcraft just released the first raid for BfA yesterday! :O

Nice. That first week is always rough. Bashing your heads against the first few bosses.

Just a quick note to compliment my fellow players- great roleplaying and GREAT tactics. While Zane is taunting the bad guy... and it's almost never a good decision to make the GM raise his eyebrows, I do want to compliment the tactics of my fellow players. This DIFFICULT encounter has gone very well considering. That's all because of the fog and the illusion images and ABE putting Lina in harms way.
