Probably way too late, but they didn't give us a playtest or earlier preview, sooo...
Honestly, simple rule that would solve most of the discontent about caster changes. Without it being in the book, it won't get into the Foundry rules, which is how I imagine most people play online.

Thanks for the insight. I’m going to take that idea and run with it. The lore is really awesome and your work is stellar. My group decided to head to Caliphas before taking the Sellen River to Cassomir. They went to the Maiden’s Choir and I seeded some stuff about blasphemous claims by the Old Cults that vaguely hinted at the cycle.

There's a LOT in this one that reveals things that I've had in my head about the mythology that haven't seen print or even really been hinted at. (The original plot/draft of the "Strange Aeons" adventure path had the PCs learning some of this during the course of the adventure, but that went a different direction when I was moved off that project to instead re-do Curse of the Crimson Throne, alas.) Super late to the party, I know, but I’m running Strange Aeons in 2e and I can’t help but wonder at what kind stuff you originally planned. Was it relating to Yog-Sothoth and the info you shared here?
I can't help but feel this won't sit well with potential new players; having to buy two books just to get access to the core classes seems kinda skeezy, especially for Paizo who are often praised for being less greedy than competitors.

Due to a lot more interest in Paizo and specifically 2e, old threads are getting attention, especially ones like this. One of my players shared this to me asking about VTT's and using it as an argument against Paizo/Pathfinder. Even early 2021, FG and Foundry were both good ways to play Pathfinder 1e & 2e, and Starfinder.
Roll20 is better than Foundry only in its ability to sell official 5e products. Saying there are not good options for Pathfinder/Starfinder in VTT, even in early 2021, is a flat out lie. FG and Foundry for for Starfinder/Pathfinder were, and still are, both better than roll20's 5e support. (I used roll20 for years, then FG, and now Foundry. The only purchases I regret are the roll20 ones. Broken PHB features that were promised when it launched are STILL missing or not working as advertised, several years later. They even refused to refund me within a week of purchase despite the product not having even 50% of the features they promised; top guys!)

OK, I'm perhaps Paizo website impaired XD Just realized I can "purchase" the PDF for $0 because of the Foundry module purchase I made. TY again team, this product is great.
The iconics are part of base PF2E system. You should have no trouble importing them from the compendium named 'Iconics' and giving them to one of your players. You may want to adjust the encounters by adding 1-2 NPCs if you want to keep the difficulty the same. / Guess my brain was in slowpoke mode. Thanks for the info, there are so many compendiums in the Foundry module it is a little overwhelming tbh. My year plus 5e game doesn't even come close XD
Well worth the price. The quality of the module is great, the little touches to make it more user friendly and better intergrated for Foundry usage are superb. The moduel does a very good job of guiding the DM by providing information that teaches them how to run the game without resorting to dumbing down the rules, a problem a lot of begginer sets from other systems have.
Honestly, Foundry should have this advertised on the front page of their website. Unfortunately, their PR game is terrible, and it is difficult to even find the module on their site. If I didn't have an interest in Pathfinder 2e already, I doubt I would know this was even released. That's a crying shame. I'll be running this for my 5e group in a couple of weeks, once they have dealt with a pirate king in their current campaign! We plan to switch to 2e once we've wrapped up our current campaign in a couple months. The only real complaints I could make is that it isn't well suited to larger groups, and the purchase and activation is a little convoluted[it would be nice if I could just buy it through Forge/Foundry and have it activated on my account automatically].
Very pleased with the product. I already had high hopes for it after seeing the trailer, and I was not disappointed. In fact, my expectations were exceeded in every way! Great work to all those involved in making this happen. |
