Hello!

This is an interest check for a PbP demo of Pathfinder 2nd edition. The adventure is "Torment and Legacy." Designed for about an hour face-to-face, it will likely take a few weeks of PbP.

4-6 players. Pre-generated characters will be provided.

An overview of the 2nd edition rules will be provided.

In other words, you don't need to purchase anything to play.

As you're already on the Paizo forums, I'm assuming you're not new to RPGs—maybe you're a Pathfinder 1e or Starfinder player curious about the new system—but if you are, you're very welcome to join.

Disclaimer: I myself am fairly new to Pathfinder 2e (aren't we all at this point?) and GMing. I've recently completed a Pathfinder Society Quest which you can find here and I think it went well. Ultimately, I just enjoy Pathfinder 2e and would like to introduce more people to the game.


I'd be interested in giving 2e a try on here. Any specifics you are looking for?


I’m definitely interested, would love to give 2e a shot

I would be interesting in playing. After about a 10 year hiatus from gaming due to career and family, I find I have time and interest to get back to rolling some dice. I have recently invested in some PathFinder 2nd edition material, but would still consider myself a noob to this edition. I typically learn better by playing and would be available to post at least once per day. I would be open to playing any type of pregenerated character, but I have a soft spot for Barbarians and Sorcerers.

Thanks for the consideration.


I'm back from a break from playing PFS & SFS and this interests me. Thanks for offering to run it.


Happy to see some interest.

As for specifics, being a demo, this is pretty open and first-come-first-serve.

The ability to post at least once per weekday and once per weekend would be ideal to keep things moving.

So folks can start thinking about it:
The pregen classes included in the demo are: Alchemist, Champion (2e version of a Paladin) Cleric, Fighter, Rogue and Wizard.

While Paizo has made pregens of other classes available elsewhere, these include a nice reference sheet for the characters' abilities that seems tailored for new players.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Are these pregens online somewhere?

Interest in order would be: Fighter, Cleric, Champion, Rogue, Wizard, Alchemist, but will play anything.


I've uploaded the pregens here. I've also added a link in the header to them as well as to the Second Edition Quick Rules Reference.

I'll have a post going over the basics of the rules when we begin, but the reference is there for those who want to take a look and for use during play.


I'm drawn to the Alchemist, Rogue, and Champion, but I'm happy to choose last and play anything.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

I'll play the Human Fighter, unless someone else really wants this character.


I was incredibly turned off from 2e by the playtest, but I've heard that the final release actually turned out pretty decently, so I'm interested in trying it out!

I'd be most interested in trying Wizard, Cleric, or Champion.


I'm most I tested in rogue, then champion. Only the wizard would be out for me as I've played that one before, but if someone has to choose first I'll take rogue.


I would love to play some 2e! I haven't had too much of a chance as of yet. I'd be interested in Champion, Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Alchemist in that order


Hello!

New to PF2, not RPGs though. Looking for a way to ease into PF2 and this looks like a great opportunity. Haven't done a traditional pbp game in a long time, but I can easily commit to daily postings.

Willing to play whatever, I'm just here for a good time.


Expressed interest so far:

J Scot Shady - Rogue
dwilhelmi -
Mioki - Fighter
Caro Cogitatus - Alchemist (Rogue, Champion)
Dαedαlus - Wizard (Cleric, or Champion)
pyropaki - Champion (Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Alchemist)
Frag Pulf - Any

That's 7, so I'll leave recruitment open for a bit. If we get any more folks I'm willing to run two tables since it's a short demo. In the meantime, if anyone needs to drop out, just let me know.


I'm down to play anything - looks like Cleric is the only one unclaimed, so I can claim that


Consider me interested, especially using a pretend to make the transition easier :-)


Okay, we've got 8. I've set up a second table.

The following can stay here:
J Scot Shady - Rogue
dwilhelmi - Cleric
Mioki - Fighter
Caro Cogitatus - Alchemist (Rogue, Champion)

The following can go here.
Dαedαlus - Wizard (Cleric, or Champion)
pyropaki - Champion (Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Alchemist)
Frag Pulf - Any
Spazmodeus -

On both tables, I've added some intro text from the demo to the discussion thread. It's written for the absolute beginner so some of it will be stuff most/all of you already know. You'll see I replaced some text about criticals with text from the Core Rule Book as there's a mistake in the demo. I also made a small edit to the sheets for the Fighter and Champion as they had a armor check penalty to a couple skills they shouldn't have.

Since there's a holiday coming up in the United States, let's look at December 2nd as a start date.

In the meantime, class choices can be finalized, etc. Looks like this is already covered, but having a cleric or champion in each group might be good idea.


If anyone else would like to join before we start on 12/2, both tables have room for 2.

I've dotted-and-deleted in Gameplay.

Did someone call for a fire-obsessed goblin?


I'm mediocre player of PF 1 (But still like it) maybe I'll be a better player for PF2 ;)

If you have an opening still I'd be interested. I'd take any spot you need for this demo. I'm leaning towards rogue because it's been awhile since I played one in any game, but be happy to fill any niche needed


Hi Ridge. We should have room. We’re looking at starting next week and I’m waiting to see if everyone that expressed interest so far “shows up.” From there I’ll know if we are still good with two tables or need to consolidate down to one. So keep an eye on this thread beginning on the week.


Will do.. and thanks


Table 1 Fighter reporting for duty. At least, I think I did this right.


All right, so...

On table 1, I believe I have Caro Cogitatus and Mioki that have checked in.

On table 2, I've seen Pyropaki, Daedalus and Spazmodeus.

We also have Ridge, an additional player who expressed interest.

So, what I'm going to do is give until this time tomorrow to hear from those who haven't checked in.

If we don't have enough for two tables, I'll consolidate down to one. Right now, with the names above, we have a table of 6.

Basically, I'm trying to balance allowing as many people to participate with getting this going.

Thanks for understanding.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

I would be interested to participate as well if the opportunity presents itself.


Hi Hayato Ken. I can let you know tomorrow morning. If we keep two tables I can add you to one of them. Thanks.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Thanks for your consideration!


Ok. So, we heard from 1 more on table 1 and have Ridge and Hayato Ken expressing interest. We can keep two tables as long as Ridge and Hayato Ken both stick around.

On table 1 we've got: Fighter, Alchemist and Cleric.
On table 2 we've got: Wizard, Champion and Rogue.

No overlap in class, so that's nice if we have to consolidate.

We'll start tomorrow either way.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Nice. We're taking pregens right? I'll look at them tonight.
Always inclined to monk or rogue, but will take a look first.


Yup. There's a link up top to them. The selection is a little more limited for this demo than what is available in PF2e, but rogue is available.

Woot. Thanks for the PM

Hayato Ken wants to play rogue, and I'm feeling flexible as I'm equally ignorant on all claseses with PF 2 ;) so fine by me if Hayato Ken goes with the rogue spot on table one. I guess I go to table 2 and fill in whatever they think they need
Thanks for giving me a chance


No problem. Good to hear from ya.

You heading over to Table 2 works.

Looking forward to getting started.

Do you have any slots left? I could always jump in if you need a filler at a table.

So our table 1 rogue has appeared. Must have been hiding in shadows...

That puts us at:
On table 1 we've got: Fighter, Alchemist and Cleric, Rogue.
On table 2 we've got: Wizard, Champion and Rogue.

Ridge has already headed over to table 2.

So your options would be: Wizard or Champion on table 1 or work out with Ridge on Table 2 between Fighter, Alchemist and Cleric.

Yeah there's room. We're starting tomorrow so as long as you're ready to jump in.

I'd like to do two tables of 5, so see the above post.

Basically it's between you and Hayato Ken. One for table 1 and one for table 2.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

In that case i can just fill any role, which is also fine for me.


Ridge decided on Cleric over on Table 2.

So table 1 has Wizard or Champion.
Table 2 had Fighter or Alchemist.


We're starting. J Scot, Trscroggs & Hayato Ken, now's the time if you're interested.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Is this the thread for table 1 then?
And can i use any alias?


This is table 1, yes.

Table 1 has Wizard or Champion available.
Table 2 has Fighter or Alchemist available.

At this point you can go to either table depending on which of those classes you want to grab.


Pathfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

I'll try champion on table 1.


Ok, sounds good!

Grand Lodge

I'll Fighter at table two. (Err as soon as I know where Table 2 is.)


Cool. It's linked in the post above.

In case it's hard to see:
