I apologize; I am pretty certain this is the wrong forum, but I cannot figure out where to put it.

Is there a way to reach out to one of the Pathfinder Infinite creators? For instance, I purchased the ABCDs of Edicts and Anathema. I love this product! I find myself wondering if there will be a sequel now that Player Core 2 is released, but I cannot figure out how to ask the creator.

I am fully aware that there is likely a very large button with flashing lights in the dead center of my screen that reads, "Contact Creator Here!", but for the life of me, I cannot see it. I think I critically failed my Perception check.

This shows up as having a response, but I cannot see said response.

I have no idea where to post this, so if this is the wrong forum, I apologize.

A few years ago, Paizo posted a video where two people were talking about different sources of inspiration for campaigns. I think the video was a Paizocon session, and was run by Jason Keeley and Jason Tondro, but I am not 100% certain about any of those details. The important thing is that my fuzzy memory combined with my weak searchfu has made it impossible for me to find the video.

What I am really interested in is a book they discussed. Of course, I cannot remember the book's title or author, but I remember it being described as a book that took details from real world historical conspiracies (and conspiracy theories) and presented them as compelling plot hooks.

Does anyone have any idea what video I am talking about? Or, better yet, have information regarding the actual book?

I know this is all astoundingly vague, but I have been looking for this thing off and on for almost a year, but every time I just end up flummoxed and frustrated. So, I am turning to the community at large, with the sincere hope that somebody, somewhere can point me in the right general direction.

I am wanting print copies of the four remastered rulebooks. When will the subscription page for rulebooks be updated so that it starts with the upcoming Player Core?

I have built a couple of monsters using Monster Tool over at PF2 Tools. Is anyone aware of a similar tool for creating/converting hazards

Will there be any other rulebooks released during the four books?

I want both pdf and hard copies of the four Remastered books. Is it possible for Paizo to create a subscription for just the Remastered books?

In my specific instance, my players found a key hanging on a peg. Two rooms and one challenging encounter later, they find the lock the key goes to.

In a face-to-face game the players would likely remember the key, as they acquired it only an hour ago in real life.

In my pbp game, the key was discovered just over two weeks ago, and they never remember these types of things.

Should I remind the players about the key? How do I do so without ruining the narrative or usurping their control of events?

No, I did make a mistake. The PC starts with 1 hp, and I mistakenly brought them back to 1 hp later as well.

Thank you for the input everyone!

A PC in my group has 1 hero point, 1 hp, and 1d6 Persistent Bleed Damage. By my reading, at the start of his next activation, he will fall Unconscious and become Dying 1.

Assuming he fails all of the many checks in the next few rounds, just as the PC enters Dying 4, the PC would use his hero point. I know that gets rid of all Dying conditions, returns the PC to 1 hp, and also means no Wounded condition.

Would it also be the end of the Persistent Damage?

I just noticed this while digging through Pathfinder Infinite. Has anyone here purchased this pdf? If so, what do you think of it?

Thre is a mitflit wandering around on some scaffolding 8 feet above the ground. A dwarf PC wants to grab its ankle.

The PC strides 10 feet. Should I require an Athletics check to increase the vertical leap,followed by a second Athletics check to grapple the Mitflit? Or, should I assume the dwarf can reach 8 feet and just go straight to the Athletics check to grapple?

That is a better plan than I had (which is none). Tbh, I never considered carrying a Starknife around to use as "ammunition" for Telekinetic Projectile. Thank you!

I really liked the artwork and story for the 1e iconic Medium.

I was thinking Bard with the Enigma Muse would be the best baseline. I remember there being a conversion guide when 2e first came out that recommended taking Cleric Dedication at level 2, but with more books being out, I think Oracle Dedication is more in keeping with the supernatural and creepy nature of the old Medium's powers. A lot of the details can be worked out from that skeleton.

But, I don't know how to get him to be good with the Starknife. Any advice?

I am planning on starting with the funeral for Lasda Venkervale. He has been missing for more than a year, and is assumed dead. Beforehand, the PCs were each approached by Wrin, who has been reading the stars, and asked them to attend with all of their gear. A small number of kobolds (the last of the Stonescale kobolds displaced by the mitflits) will have been sheltering in the cemetery. Based on my players' conduct in the past, this will likely result in violence, which they will be the only ones equipped to handle. After the kobolds are dealt with, Wrin will gasp in horror and point to the Gauntlight in the distance, which will be clearly lit. Panic will ensue, and Mayor Menhemes (who will be attending the funeral) will ask for volunteers to investigate.

Kind of a mixture of Rise of the Runelords and Carrion Crown.

So just going through it and noticed a hiccup with the map, specifically on A16. The room's description mentions some of the cages being marked to indicate their current occupants, but all of the cages on the map are blank.

EDIT: Should point out this is the PDF and I'm looking at both the map in the adventure PDF and the version in the maps PDF. Both have the cages unmarked.

Has anyone figured out what is going on with this issue? The hard copy book's map is also unmarked.

I love how 2e got rid of the need for a "big six" set of items. I really love how this encouraged players to give their characters "fun" items. But, a lot of the "fun" items from before the edition change have not been carried over. Are there rules to allow for the creation of new runes or items? For instance, is it possible to recreate a Ring of Jumping?

So, as I have mentioned in another thread, I am trying to map out the treasure in an adventure. For a group of level three characters, table 10-9 recommends 2 3rd level and 2 4th level permanent items. What about lower level permanent items? Does this mean that the group should not encounter any 2nd level items? Or are lower level items excluded from the list because they are so "behind the times" at that level that sprinkling a few in would not imbalance things?

For instance, should all magic weapons at this point be +1 striking and not merely +1? Even if throwing a smattering of +1 weapons in here and there is considered not that consequential, wouldn't it wreck what feels like a much tighter game economy?

Would something like Temporary Tool be a good idea?

I am working on treasure for a campaign, and I want to include the occasional wand. To be honest, I get overwhelmed by the spell lists at times, however. Is there a list or guide somewhere that someone has already compiled of ideal wand spells?

I saw the spells guide over at the Guide to Guides page, and my current thought is to focus on the spells marked as "decent, but situational" (my phrasing). Any thoughts?

I would buy all things Carrion Crown.

I cannot find any rules for identifying poisons (though I am certain they exist and are probably very clearly labeled in the Core rulebook). Could someone give me a nudge in the right direction on this topic?

Thank you!

Silly question, but what are the glowing runes around spellcasters' hands called? I think I remember hearing an official name has been given to them in one of the newer books, but I must have missed it in my reading. A page reference would be awesome as well, if possible.

I am thinking about getting back into running pbp games. I am wondering how most of you handle reactions in 2e games. Back in the day, I would prompt a player for an AoO, and would request my players try to avoid some of the more reactionary classes/abilities in the interest of maintaining game flow.

But, 2e is different. Many classes have some sort of key reaction ability. Plus, reactions are an integral part of the game's rich tactical foundation. At the same time, I think it would be frustrating to have to frequently retcon lengthy posts because a reaction undoes some or all of the actions made in a post.

So, what has been working in your games?

Woot! My favorite podcast is now covering my two favorite APs!

Good luck in this new undertaking! I cannot wait to give it a listen!

Well, that sucks.

Since the company sold us on false goods ("the base set will be compatible with future adventure paths"), I really hope they loosen their restrictions on fan created content.

I know that previously Paizo specifically stated that it was illegal to adapt existing rpg adventure paths into pacg adventure paths.

Now that the game is dead, is it acceptable for us to now adapt rpg adventure paths?

What is a good place to post maps? I can't get rpgmapshare to work.

Curse of the Crimson Throne prominently features a Blue dragon. But there's also a Black dragon in a boss fight in one of the later books.

It has been a long time since I have read it, but I think there is an umbral dragon in this one as well.

I don't even drink and I love this show! To my mind, this is easily the best Pathfinder podcast out right now.

Congratulations!

This sounds bomb!

Here's the last post in the series!

Thank you, sir!

The humble bundle that is about to expire is an awesome deal, but I already have pdfs of many of the titles offered. Is it possible to give the codes for some of the books to a friend, while keeping the rest for myself?

How long do they usually take to activate an account? I submitted a username a couple of weeks ago and instantly received a follow up email that said I had be approved. I haven't heard from them since, and I cannot find an email to contact them further.

Curse of the Crimson Throne is pretty humanoid intensive as well.

I want another horror AP. I would prefer gothic/classic horror, but would still be pleased with cosmic horror.

Why not Zon-Kuthon? Some of his worshippers are cheerful (like Laori Vaus). He even has ties to the outer reaches of the cosmos.

Just popping in to say a "Disney Princess AP," as an elevator pitch for a campaign, is rad.

We could absolutely do this.

And it's not like so many of the stories Disney made movies out of are their stories. All of Grimms' Fairy Tales are in the public domain.

This is pretty much how I view Jade Regent.

I know I am late to the party, but I do have a thought on the Goblin PC issue.

In Curse of the Crimson Throne, almost all of the adversaries are human. Yet, no one would ever suggest not allowing Human PCs for that Adventure Path.

If I recall (and it has been a long time since I read any of the Rise of the Runelords books), there is a tribe of Goblins indigenous to Sandpoint. They dig through the trash at the dump or something like that. Couldn't you just say that none of the goblins involved in the hostilities come from that tribe, which could be the starting ground for the PC?

1) I accidentally subscribed to the stand-alone Pathfinder 2e adventures. I do not want to do this, as I am quite happy with the amazing amount of content I get with my Adventure Path subscription. Is it possible to drop the subscription and the copy of Fall of Plaguestone that comes with it?

I know how I made this mistake. After selecting the six PDFs for War for the Crown series, I checked my inbox. Then, on a whim, I looked at a couple of additional subscriptions. Apparently, I accidentally clicked on a button to initiate the new subscription, then returned to the order. The screen still only held the total value of the 6 Adventure Path PDFs, so I clicked on Place Order.

2) Also, I have Legacy Paizo Advantage. Should that stack with the 25% discount that expires this evening? I do not think it did, as it looks like I only got a 30% discount on the 6 War for the Crown PDFs.

Does this stack with the discount we receive for being a subscriber?

Thank you!

I wish Pathbuilder2e worked with iOS. At least two of the people I might be teaching only use Apple products.

Will there be hippogriffs?

Since I will be running the game on roll20, any tips you can provide will be provided.

I have read the blog posts about playing on sites like roll20. They are great, but understandably they are geared towards people who already know what they are doing, with regards to character creation and game mechanics. Does anyone have a tip for teaching a friend how to play from the ground up in these crazy days?

I have always used a paper character sheet in the past (I know I am a dinosaur), but I think the current situation is a sign for me to upgrade my game. Is there a good, free character sheet software that will assist with character creation and tracking of things like conditions? Barring free, is there an inexpensive one?

Any insights will be appreciated.

Amiri is a great starter character because she is so straight forward.

I hope to hear about Lem next!

Skeletons of Scarwall would make a pretty challenging one-shot. It is practically a stand alone episode within Curse of the Crimson Throne as it is.

I don't own all of the Age of Lost Omens material, but I think the rules for rebuilding and running a castle are unique to this AP.
