I love this campaign, and have a lot of ideas to refresh it. Especially with the new rules.

I want 4 dedicated players, Mon, Tue, or Wed 7pm eastern US. Sessions last 3 hours give or take. We will be running on Foundry - no cost to you. DM has the paid account. (Though won't refuse good old DM bribery of pizza or Door Dash certificates!)

Please message me if interested. Include your play style, how long you've been playing (TTRPGs in general and PF2e specifically). I do value nonoptimized characters - flaws make for better RP. So give a few examples of weaknesses you'd have.

Almost have the game setup (Paizo and Foundry not having a deal means importing art is a PAIN!)

First session January 29th via Discord.

Hope to hear from you! Been working on this for months...

Looking for 4 to 5 players for a conversion. I have run it twice in 1e, and have a few changes, so even if run it before, will be some new surprises!

Message me here AND ALSO BY PRIVATE MESSAGE. Tell me a bit about your TTRPG experience, your play style, and what you bring to the table.

Appreciate the interest - I really love this AP and look forward to sharing that with others!

This really isn't getting the scope of the problem, I feel. Bigotry is only one of the problems; the treatment of employees is another that was barely touched on. Many of us also want to know HOW you're going to listen to employees to make the company better. Simply saying you'll listen feels dismissive, as was just stating Paizo's inclusivity mission.

Saying things is one thing. Doing it is another. We want action, not platitudes.

I am just starting to get into PF2e, but I am holding off any further purchases until I see more responses (or a lack thereof) taking responsibility for the work environment.

Jeff Alvarez needs to be held accountable, and resign if immediate and effective changes LED BY JEFF are not taken. And an outside company needs to come in and help right the ship.

Erik Mona also needs to speak up about these issues, not just about how he is sorry his hobby was called out. You are in leadership, Erik - now is the time to show that!

Thanks for this - I am about to start running the AP, and this will speed things up, I hope.

Many thanks to JPSTOD for working on this - there will be a gift card in your future, good sir! Was there a particular one you would want, or just a generic Visa/MC/AMEX work for you?

Paizo Staff -

Could you all do an online set of maps for APs that would work better for VTT? I would happily pay the same price for them as I do for the AP Map Folios. The future of RPGs is virtual, so what do we as fans/players need to do to convince you to give this a try?

I think they might - there is the HeroLab deal with APs, and the Syrinscape deal for music tied to each encounter. Having the higher quality maps that Paizo would start with available to toss onto a VTT (without a grid "printed" on the map, so uses the VTT's grid) would be a nice touch.

I currently use Roll20, but am looking at switching because they do not integrate Syrinscape, and all the options I have found to stream it are at the very best "Meh" quality. If I knew Paizo was going to do pack for d20Pro, it would make my mind up for me - I would happily pay for content thrice (buying the modules, paying for AP soundsets and then VTT content).

I have two map questions:

1) I may just be missing it but... what map is there for the encounter with the Tooth Fairies? And if there isn't an official one, does anyone have any suggestions for what to use?

2) Can someone explain the map for the Red Jills? The description from the module doesn't seem to quite match up to the map provided.

Thanks for any direction - and thanks to Paizo for a fun AP!

While I'm sure that would be very interesting for you, it would be guaranteed to keep me as far away from Pathfinder/Paizo as possible. If I wanted wildly different, I'd buy 4e.

In the end, if I can't play the Pathfinder adventures with all my 3.5 books, I'm done.

Well, one, it is NOT holding on to 3.5 D&D, as much as the 3.5 SRD, then modifying it based on Paizo's direction for their game. So people who are focusing on this as "3.5 D&D" are going to be disappointed to find they DO have to convert characters to the new system. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it, I am in fact the sole hold-out for 3.5 vs 4th Ed in my group. And I am not saying not going to be better, and fix some of the holes in 3.5 - but the PHB from WotC will not be the same ruleset as the final PRPG will be.

James - thanks for addressing my thoughts, and once the final release PRPG is done, I will want to find out about Paizo's submission standards for material, now that the mags have been sucked away - figuring similar, but still.

Maybe I am just jaded, but with WotC doing a retread of D&D, using the same races and classes (for the most part - yes, I know some new stuff, but still...) - why not use that as an excuse to make some radical shifts to new ones? And whole new approach to it, as well.

One of the best things Arcana Evolved (and predecessor) did was to reimagine EVERYTHING, starting with races. I understand this is sort of a line in the sand thing, to hold on to 3.5 as a ruleset, and personally I like that you are doing so!!! But this is also a chance to really show the creative power of your staff, and really shake things up a bit.

I am not saying get rid of fighters, but really - what are barbarians/paladins/rangers except styles of fighters? Why not combine them into one class, with "paths" so to speak, letting players customize as they go? Focus more on feats as the tools to distinguish the character from his brethren, and a bit less on class features.

Same for casters - cleric/druid can be one class, with just different approaches within the class. Same for sorc/wizard, and bard/rogue. Monks... well, I am not a good one to ask about them, because I dislike the class, to be honest. But I suppose in with cleric/druid, just focused more on the mental and physical aspects of the class, rather than the spellcasting.

Beef up feats, with more trees, but also more unique one shot ones, that allow you to truly customize your character. Sort of a hybrid of a class based system, and a "skill" based one (like GURPS).

As for races, create whole new ones - ones that utilize the setting of your world a bit better. At the very least, turn some of the conceits that are just accepted as fact about a given race, and toss them aside, and paint new pictures for them. Elves are effete nature-loving spell-casters? Nope - they are radical guerrilla warriors fighting to preserve the natural order - with a favored class of ranger (or whatever you decide with the above). Halflings are mischievous wanderers? Nope, they are the keepers of lost knowledge, the high mages of the world - favored class wizard.

Is it true d20? Nope - but in the end, it might be something much much better!!!

It looks like iMixes are gone from iTunes now - any chance of getting the lists posted here? I was slowly collecting the right pieces (and have to say GREAT choices, for the most part!!!), but now cannot find them.

Okay, I appreciate the heads up. I will try not to be too much the new-convert to highspeed and remember what dialup was like - so this is actually faster then that!!!

Yay on the upgrade - this is the firs time I have noticed the speed issue, but glad being addressed.

Is anyone else having a problem downloading web enhancements? I have been trying for four hours to get Dungeon 116 and 117 WE, but they a) freeze and do nothing, b) get to 10% in an hour, or c) download in an hour but are corrupted (happened twice!!!).

Just wondering if the servers are slow for others? I checked other sites and downloaded stuff, much MUCH faster, so not my connection.

Is there such a beast already out there, and if not, is it possible to get one? I know it is frustraitng for me to have an article on a given subject *somewhere* in the pile of mags but then to never be able to actually find it is irritating - said irritation only being exceeded by coming across it the day after I actually needed it at the gaming table.

So far, my only solution is to scan in then print out all the ToC for each issue, and hope that I can find the article title quickly. But that is still a hundred pages long - a searchable list by topic would be GREAT!!! Maybe a wiki-style effort maintained on the Paizo boards - so we can add keywords to each article entry in terms of searchable database?
