It is the morning before the Call for Heroes. The people of Breachill are already tending to their businesses as usual, even though the general excitement makes mundane tasks easier to forget. And nowhere is the excitement more vibrant than at the Wizard's Grace, the local tavern, where adventurers and curious citizens gather to speculate about the jobs being offered, and about who will take those jobs. The tavern itself is filled with the smell of boar stew and lentils as Trinil Uskwold (Female Human Innkeeper), dressed in her leather apron, merrily hands the traditional dish to everyone in the room. Where is everyone sitting and what do other people see when they look your way? Take this time to introduce as much of your characters as you want and to wrap up character creation. If you have any questions the discussion section should be up as well.

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice... or perhaps comfort? not entirely sure. Two years ago (in 2022) I was still GMing D&D and I decided, with my party, to create a new TTRPG for us to play. I had many issues with D&D and was already homebrewing a lot of it. By fall 2022 our D&D campaign finished and we decided to move to pathfinder 2e, since my system still wasn't ready. After GMing PF2e for roughly a year and a half, and participating in PaizoCon as a GM, I have gotten to love the system. I homebrew no rules, only a few creatures and hazards. But I have continued to work on my TTRPG system. My system is now in a playable state and I have had two sessions testing it. The three people who have played it seem to enjoy it so far, but I can't help but wonder... Is it just a pointless endeavour? Creating a system is a lot of work, not to mention that you are, by default, starving for content when compared to stablished systems. Furthermore, I worry that it is just too similar form PF2e. I know that's fine from a legal point of view, as I'm thiunking of using the ORC licence, but from a design perspective... it makes me wonder if I'm losing my time. I have tried my best to make sure there are unique things about the system. Dice work differently (it is not a d20 system), character creation is somewhat different (with less thing being class / ancestry dependent), there are no attributes, combat uses a more complex version of three action economy, spells being nonexitant compared to PF2e's spells, and so on. And yet, I just can't unsee the elements that make it like PF2e. You gain class, archetype, heritage and general feats, you level up to level 12, you have profficiency levels with your skills, it is a three action economy system, there are four degrees of success, and so on. So I open up the question to you all, is creating a new TTRPG a pointless endeavour?

Hi everyone, I'm a GM looking for 3-4 players to run the two leshy adventures back to back! We would be using the pregen characters for the scenarios, roll 20 for the table and rpg chronicles for those interested in receiveng PFS chronicles for both adventures. That represents 8xp, 8 reputation, 20 Treasure Bundles and 16 downtown days for your PFS characters. Pregen characters would be first come first served and the time limit for replies would be 48 hr (in order to keep things moving). Let me know if you'd be interested so I can create the PbP thread. |
