Become a Pathfinder Lore Master!

Ooh! Lemme at the leaderboards! I can't wait to get a whole lotta questions at least 40% wrong!

(Look, I'm not saying they aren't NOT space-faring fish that threw a rock at us, I'm just saying that it was a really big rock and fins can't maintain that kind of grip probably.)

*awards self 10 points for this "fact", putting me in the lead*

Ooh, sounds fun! Curious what the monetization model looks like, though.

(A little puzzled by the wonky AI logo at the bottom of their site, though.)

I guess I can finally figure out if I'm as good in lore I keep reading too much of :P

Please tell me the five difficulty levels are Untrained, Trained, Expert, Master and Legendary.

I'm gonna be RICH!

Steps:

1) Find a betting site that lets me place bets on keiftu
2) Start a subscription that automatically places a bet when they play
3) PROFIT!

Not something that interest me, but best of luck with the project. Hopefully it makes money, so Paizo can turn around and dump those profits back into Pathfinder books.

Psyched for this game! Will it be updated to officially include the Remaster rules once out?

Waitaminnit. Rules or lore? Will this be all about Golarion’s lore, or Golarion’s lore and PF2R’s rules? Because…they are…different things. I’m not sure knowing how exactly Power Attack works or at what level a Kineticist gets what would make someone a Lore Master.

If this has an option to pick the subject of the question it could be a quick way to come up with random facts for a lore check in a game. Or just learn about an area or subject your interested in.

This feels like it's giving gatekeepers more fuel for the fire. Our community is pretty great, and I haven't seen much of that kind of behavior, but as soon as people can point to an app that empirically says "I know more about this than you" it's gonna be a problem somewhere, sometime. Just thought I'd put that out there.

So they should stop making books and games all together? Gatekeepers don't need a pub trivia night to gatekeep.

Hilariously you're advocating for gatekeeping by implying they shouldn't make this game.

How is having the high score in a trivia game "gatekeeping"? As long as you can buy any Pathfinder publication without proving you have a minimum score in that game, then there is no 'gatekeeping'.

Would Pathfinder be a better game if no one was allowed to know more about Golarian than their GM? Or more lore than anyone else at their table? Do you think GMs are going to recruit players based on a score in a trivia game about Golarian?

Or are you just afraid that some people will brag about their scores in public instead of keeping quiet and pretending they don't really know that much.

This looks like fun! Great for work commutes, ice breakers at the start of sessions, or just for people who find quizzes and gamification a more stimulating way to learn more about the rules and lore!

I truly hope this is just lore and not rules!

Can we get some marketing or developer comment about whether rules are part of the game?

On the Overview page for the link it does say Rules and Lore.

Seeing as how you pick a class and go on an adventure I'm guessing the questions will be tailored to that so it's more interactive rather than simply being a random trivia questionnaire (though I wouldn't doubt if there's options and sliders for this).

Thanks Rysky

Np ^w^

Thank you for your interest in the game !

We will release with the current Core Rulebook but we will update the content once the Remaster is out.

We are preparing some content to share all the details about the game, but I can already say that the game will include both Lore and Rules, with the possibility to tailor the question pool.

More on that in the upcoming weeks !

In the end, someone that got all the answers wrong should know as much as some who got all the questions right.

I don't care if someone brags, I don't care what their score is, I just want to make sure every table is as welcoming and inviting as it can be for everyone, and being told "no you can't make x character" or "no you can't worship that god" because you know more about the lore than them sucks. If it's your gm making a table wide decision, that's one thing, but I've seen my fair share of people being dicks in my time to know this will probably come up.

Yeah and none of that dickishness has anything to do with this app.

I should be clear, I don't mean people are gonna be excluded at the table, nor do I think Paizo would ever put any of their books behind a wall like that. I'm saying there are gonna be people who get shut down at the table, told their voice doesn't matter, and made to feel small because the person telling them that has a higher score than them. I'm not saying the app shouldn't exist, I'm not saying the scenario I listed is gonna be common, just that I wanted to make sure Paizo was considering the ramifications of their actions. I *want* to be wrong, but I felt like it was...

Following your logic Paizo should stop making games, because as I write this somewhere out there somebody is bragging that their Vital Strike Cave Druid is better than anybody else's at the table because they're better at this game.

I got a notification to download it today. It's pretty fun and I found out my lore knowledge isn't great. Enjoying it!
