It is the 42nd Towel Day.
I would assume D&D 5e players across all platforms they have data for. WotC wouldn't really be interested in anything else. If a company only focuses on selling products to its current customers, then in the long run, it will see a declining number of customers. To counterbalance that, they seek new customers. So your assumption that they're not interested in data about non-customers makes no sense. The rest of your post is your personal assumptions and conclusions, unsupported by any data, and really just showcases your personal opinions, without any relevance to the actual experiences women have in gaming. This thread is for moms and other female gamers to discuss their experiences. Dismissing actual data about how women experience games* is not only off topic, it borders on a baiting derail. *(since gamer culture is full of slang I'm not certain they are actually measuring the same thing across cultures anyway)
Find your towels. Tomorrow is Towel Day
Threads get lost here very easily. Can you link me Luis'?
Thanks
There's a long discussion in the main PF2 forum about this topic in general
Although several of those categories are highly subjective, so maybe I have. Currently neuroscience does not have the tools to label people's emotions accurately just using brain measurements. So if you want to do research about how people feel in a situation, the only good tool is to ask them. Which, of course, is subjective data, not rigorous laboratory cause-and-effect research with a null hypothesis. It's pretty clear that people respond differently to the same situation based on their current stress levels, previous experience, and other situational factors. At this point, the best data available is what people tell you they felt in that situation. Sometimes when people express those feelings, there's actual gaslighting ("the thing you think happened didn't actually happen") and other times there's negating of their feelings ("that thing happened, but you shouldn't feel that way when it does"). It's helpful in getting a better picture of people's comfort level in a situation if people are free to express those feelings without being shut down.
You will get codes from Humble Bundle that you redeem on the Paizo site. If you want to send a code to someone else so they can redeem that set of items, you can do so. IIRC each level of contribution gets you one code.
Just how mad is the world going to further get?! Remember those songs and stories about the extinction of the dinosaurs? At least that bad; but with the dinosaurs killing each other as the meteorite falls.
There's some age and gender stats graphics at the top of this article that might interest people. I wonder what group they're talking about? That page doesn't indicate who was surveyed: North Americans? Europeans? World-wide? Attendees at GenCon? Video game players like the previous articles? WotC customers? It also doesn't indicate how many people answered the questions, or how many people declined to answer*. Can you provide a link to the actual results or a description of the research? Age and gender percentages about an unknown group of people are hard to interpret. All I could find is that the graphic was provided by Wizards of the Coast. *This is an interesting data point because of the other research that says that 77% of gamers who are women mask their gender when playing. I wonder how that affects their participation in and responses to public surveys.
Updating thread with new rules text. Link?

Another survey of women gamers, this one showing that 59% of them mask their gender when playing online, to avoid harassment. The research was done to help brands improve their market reach, and has some specific advice to on how to do so.
One I've seen come up in other Humble Bundle offerings just popped up again on the blog thread Can I choose Bestiary 2 or 3 for the physical book since I already have the first Bestiary?
If the event/gathering does not involve any staff, dates, or outsiders, then the ability does not apply.
Now we aren't going to be at the physical showAnd so the question remains - why was this announced two days *after* the window closed for attendees to roll over their Gencon badges to next year. In an earlier post, someone said that they were able to roll over their badge after this announcement by dealing directly with GenCon. If that's what you're worried about, I'd suggest making that attempt as soon as possible.
I feel like Apsu, Isis, Ma'at and Trudd are probably the easiest to follow, but Apsu and Trudd are racial a gods (are they restricted...? "Are they restricted" is a question that depends on your choices about which games to join. If you want a character that is legal for Pathfinder Society, then yes, there are restrictions. Each god has certain restrictions on the alignment of their followers. PFS also has restrictions on what alignments characters can be. You'd have to be sure that the god you chose allowed followers of an alignment that is also allowed in PFS. If you are playing in home games or non-Society public games, then the answer is "ask your GM". They are the person who will have the final say over which gods your character can follow. And, for story reasons, they might not allow a character from one part of Golarion to be a follower of a god from a different nation or region.
Negotiating skills. Boundaries. Just say no. If you don't have any open slots, don't create them just for the extroverts. Live and let live. It's not on other people to read your mind or to curtail their own social life. You being unhappy with your ability to set boundaries is not other people's fault. If you're going to whine, place the blame on the right person.
Take it to PMs, folks
Paizo staff closed that thread for a reason: they don't have the ability to monitor it at the moment. It's always a bad idea to create a new thread to get around staff closure of another thread.
Me either. I lived in a midwestern college town (population ~ 100,000) and there was a single gaming store with no in-store gaming. Their bulletin board was the marketplace for GMs and players to find each other.
Did you ever create your own stonemason's mark?
I agree totally with Ruzza The Advanced Players Guide is one of the 7 core rulebooks that have been published so far:
They are setting-independent for the most part, although the Core Rulebook does have a chapter about the Lost Omens setting. The Lost Omens Character Guide is one of the books that gives details about the world of Golarion. So far in the Second Edition, Paizo has published
Which one to buy first depends entirely on how you intend to use it. If you're trying to create a character that is well-integrated into the Golarion setting, buy the Character Guide. If you're playing in a Pathfinder game set in a home-brew world, or if you're less interested in Golarion details and more interested in advanced RPG character building, buy the Advanced Players Guide.
As far as appealing to collectors who are willing to spend absurd amounts of money on their gaming hobby to obtain limited edition items, I suspect the Life-Sized Goblin is an attempt to gauge how big that market is.
Again, maybe this doesn't mean much but for SURE Verdyn and I rarely see eye to eye when it comes to these games but I have to backup their point, again, if I could buy it all in one attractive package $250 USD isn't a price I'd be upset with at all.That's not Verdyn saying that, that was Themetricsystem. Tristan, Person-Man and Themetricsystem are the same person. He's just using an alias to support his primary account's posts.
I know what I like and I'm interested to see if PF2 and Paizo can meet those needs. Then what's there to discuss? Paizo has published three adventures, four adventure paths, a one-shot, nine Bounties, and eighteen scenarios. Surely you can figure out from two years of material whether or not the system can meet your needs. Paizo staff aren't going to argue with you if you decide it's not for you. They aren't trying to please everyone. And if you aren't pleased, it's not likely to change the trajectory of their company. These forums aren't a place to start arguments about whether or not you approve of Paizo's products. This thread looks to me like bait.
or economics. Or society. Or an exact replica of conditions somewhere on Earth. Or at some historic point in time.
Those of us who did get fully vaccinated now have had something we were looking forward to taken away. I'm really glad Paizo decided not to do GenCon in person this year. I'm fully vaccinated.I don't feel like anything has been taken away from me. The vaccine is not 100% effective, so there's no way of knowing whether you're going to become ill because someone who is not vaccinated is at your table. Personally, I'm glad I don't need to deal with the unvaccinated people who refuse to wear masks, and expose me to the virus. I really appreciate that Paizo didn't put staff and volunteers in the position of having to choose whether or not to accept those risks. Obviously my mileage varies a great deal from yours.
What OS, and what browser? I'm using Win10 and Firefox 88.0.1 (64-bit)
The first link currently shows me a timestamp of Sun, May 9, 2021, 06:22 am. That is the date and time it was posted from my perspective, ie Eastern Daylight Time in the US. Converting that timestamp to UTC, it was posted at 10:22 AM on Sunday May 9. Converting that timestamp to JST it was posted at 1922 PM on Sunday, May 9. If you made that post around 7:30 PM Sunday night, then the Paizo boards are displaying the time correctly. What time was it in your local time zone when you made that post? You said 9 pm earlier, so it looks like it might be about 90 minutes off.
Mattel will take back your old toys that are in such bad shape that no one else wants them
Trying to confirm:
Can you provide a link to the post that is displaying the wrong time zone for you?
When I was in college and sharing a house, I switched from orange juice to grapefruit juice. Signs on the OJ didn't work, but no one wanted my grapefruit juice.
I'm curious what criteria you're using for your "objective" review. And what data you're using to measure statistical significance.
Please don't start multiple threads on the same topic.
The PO-leese? Sounds juicy
Paizo can very easily select one person to be the rule czar. That person would have the final say and be able to give direct answers to rule questions. Some may not like what final arbitrations are made, but it’s better than leaving it to player debate. From what I can tell, Paizo works pretty hard to create a collaborative environment and not create "czars". It's not so much a single personality that has created the rule-set as it is a team of creative people working together. DnD, of course, comes from a single person asserting authority in spite of the major contributions of others. It's not uncommon for companies to retain the personality aspects of their founders, and it appears that Paizo choose a more team-oriented approach. No one individual is knowledgeable about every rule.
Oh, bluegrass bands doing covers of songs from other genres is a tradition I give you the rock-opera "Tommy"
Hope it is not blasplhemy to talk about this!:) Wrong thread. This is the product page for the book Pathfinder Lost Omens: Absalom, City of Lost Omens. You need to start a different thread, not hijack this one for something unrelated.
So after the Lost Omens setting book itself, what are the best books for getting into world lore? For geographical and cultural information, my suggestion is to start with the historical information available in the PF1 setting books. The PF2 timeline has only advanced 10 years beyond what has already been written in those books, and any changes (new ruler, break-away provinces) are covered in the LO World Guide. As KaiBlob1 said, the new geographical/cultural books are the Absalom Guide and the Mwangi guide. But Paizo was publishing guides (Sandpoint, Druma) that are just as useful now as they were when they first came out. Pick an area you want to know more about. Check the wiki to see what their sources of information are for that area. Purchase those materials so you can dig deeper into the culture. Remember that Adventure Path volumes often have a gazetteer section about specific cities and small regions. Depending on what you need the information for (character background, adventure writing) those may be better places to look. And if you just want an easy read, check out all of the Pathfinder novels that have been published over the years.
The Paizo Creative Director, James Jacobs, made some suggestions in this thread
For the most part, lore and descriptions from PF1 have not been changed in PF2. The setting only advanced 10 years from the start of PF1 to the start of PF2. So almost anything written in previous regional guides is still true. However, some material that was produced earlier was was written in ways that were thoughtless or in ways that carried over real-world stereotypes and other harmful assumptions. Those parts of the setting have been re-written and continue to be updated. For example, the new book about the Mwangi Expanse announced ( here ) builds on earlier descriptions while eliminating some racist tropes about African inhabitants. As long as you don't use any of the mechanical or rules elements, the descriptive flavor sections will, in general, still be valid.
Charon is on page 128 of Gods And Magic, under "Horsemen"
Naderi is on page 130 of Gods And Magic, under "Other Gods"
What about mentioning things from adventures, scenarios, and Adventure Paths? If the publication is not on the approved list, you cannot use that material.
I did write "No one did any laundry all day" in the pass-on log. Not that anyone is going to care. You missed your chance! "I am the only person who did any laundry today." is much more accurate.
I wouldn't wish anyone a 'Happy Cinco de Mayo' since it's basically a made-up American holiday.
Paizo staff have been posting about the delays since April 12. From the April & May 2021 New Releases and Subscription Shipping - UPDATED 05 / 04 / 21 thread. No news regarding April products yet. I've moved April & May together at this time and listed the dates as TBD. We will update as soon as we know more. Products may also shift around as we figure out the best solution.Posted May 4, 2021
Is the Starstone Cathedral even a place a worship? For which god? Who is the head priest there (which would answer the question about who is the "bishop")? And how is the testing part of the cathedral separated for the worship part, especially to prevent plundering of the worship part under the guise of a test.
The answers to your other questions would be Unrevealed.
