I promised I wouldn't cry ;(
I can't speak for Jason. But the more people who message him on social media about it, the more he may feel inclined to do so. We're glad you like the maps though! Love how you guys do this. I am not a streamer but its things like this that set Paizo apart as an awesome company. Thank you, we appreciate it! When I first got hired here I really wanted to give up and coming streamers something they could use. And I'm glad that we as a company was able to give something. It might not be much, but it's a start of more things to come.
We hope to see you live on our official Twitch Channel at 2 p.m. Pacific on April 8th.
Looking forward to Band of Bravos! Will you be using a battle mats? We'll be using Roll20 for these shows due to all of us working at home. Jason Bulmahn might be using his own hand drawn mats. While Amanda will be using flip mats when able.
Hey everyone! Due to the virus affecting everyone, some shows on the schedule may be canceled at any moment. We prioritize our content creator’s safety over their productions as we all deal with the current pandemic. We apologize in advance if plans abruptly change from what’s scheduled here.
For those wanting to make your own monster, here are our Pathfinder 2E monster creation rules. link.
We haven't put Arcane Mark on the Tuesday slot as we have it reserved for another show and other reasons that are in the works. Once we get those details ironed out we can adjust them back on there.
Sorry folks! These updates are on a template, and sometimes the communication on what should be updated or not gets misread. Will get it fixed!
BOOOOOOOOOO!
How dare you say that Vesk art is creepy! He is so majestic and handsome!
Cool! This should hold me over until I get it in my own hands. Is it me, or does it seem like everything is coming so slowly. I guess I'm just used to getting three different things to look at every month. A lot of folks were on vacation, including me. And people are now coming back after working so hard on Starfinder and Pathfinder. They needed it too, they're champions in my eyes. But due to New Years' and people's schedules, we had to delay some things. We should be back to normal next week!
For those who use the phone app as I do and have issues getting it pulled up. You can go to the apps menu - skills and games - and then you search for Starfinder. Make sure the app can gain access to your phone's microphone and you should be set to go! Also this week for Starfinder Wednesday we will be doing a livestream talking about Starfinder on Alexa and answering your questions! And for those in the future land reading this, you can always check Paizo's Youtube Channel for the livestream VOD on the youtube channel.
One of the things I'd love to see is people asking their favorite media outlets to give Pathfinder Second Edition a chance. As a lot of folks base their future plans off what their audience and others are wanting. That'd help push the envelope a little bit. Also, I'm glad to hear a lot of you enjoying PF2E so far! It has been warming our hearts internally.
Hi bud! This question would be best for its own thread maybe. But I can give you a quick run down on how things are set up here. We use 4 Lumix G7 Cameras for Live Play setups. And Lavalier Microphones to capture our players. Although in general, I recommend actual microphones on studio arms for table setups. As your viewers will usually prefer good sound with crusty video than good video and bad sound. So for the microphones, what I've been using recently are the Shure SM58s microphones. We like to use these for our panels due to how great they are on stage due to sound not being picked up that much for whatever is behind them. Mostly due to their cardioid dynamic range. This helps a lot when you have a very busy office! As for the button pad I used. It's an Elgato stream deck. You can use it to switch scenes and do tons of stuff with XSplit or OBS. In the future, we should have an entirely different setup for our streams. And I will be more than happy to make a guide for potential streamers once we get it all set up. But overall my pointers are to focus on is:
2. Have your players and yourself be genuinely excited and have the capacity to show it on stream. Excitement is contagious! And people like to see you having fun! 3. Play like people can only see you. But explain things if they can only hear you. If you get a natural 20 on your die roll. Give out a cheer and state that you got a natural 20 plus any of the modifiers that go with it! Even if you fumble and get 1 one, be sure to express that it's a bad situation for your character. But in a fun way! With those 3 points, you can grow and adapt from there. Sorry for the word vomit but I hope it helped a little bit! And best of luck.
For future reference, all stream topics will be revealed every Monday via our blog posts if our tech team can get to them. Holidays and such might delay blogs to Tuesday. And any questions for that week's topic can be referred to here. And I apologize for not getting you folks in the loop sooner. Tons happening internally! As for why this thread was moved. It wasn't my call and I've no idea either. But whichever helps things stay organized!
I feel like Ikyulus may have something to say to you, Payton, about his absence from the KoE cast list (also, Jeremy is an awesome player and deserves his chops too). I have no idea why he keeps being left out of the list. As my internal document has him right here. I'll double-check with the tech team and see what happened. Thank you for spotting that!
Sorry! It's not the Lost Omens. That's just me messing up. I apologize for the confusion. I've been looking over the Lost Omens books all last week. So I've apparently been putting it behind every book mentally for some odd reason. LOST OMENS TOILET PAPER COMING SOON!
Sorry! Another typo in the blog. We'll be talking about the Advanced Player's Guide playtest. Not the character guide. Must of had the other books on the brain. Sorry! Edit: It is not in the lost omens line. I just made a dumb and assumed the wrong thing! Sorry everyone!
The time is finally upon us! This week's Pathfinder Friday (Oct 25th) is all about the Pathfinder Second Edition ERRATA! Join the designers as they talk about what major things have been changed with the Errata due to the amazing feedback from all of you! You can find more information about when and where the stream is here.
Hey fellas. I'm glad that you're engaging in discussion. But this thread is to leave questions about the next shows topic. And to repeat our message that we don't typically answer super-specific rules questions for various reasons. We encourage you to bring those types of discussions to the rules section on the forums. As a reminder, this Friday (Oct 18, 2019) will be about the Gamemastery Guide if you do have any questions about the upcoming book.
This weeks Pathfinder Friday (Oct 18, 2019) will be all about The Gamemastery Guide! We last did a preview of what's coming in the book with Logan Bonner in the past. But I feel that people wanted to know more about it. So our new Pathfinder Designer, Lyz Liddel will be joining Designer Mark Seifter in going over the Gamemastery Guide. Specifically the sections Lyz herself worked on. So feel free to leave any questions about the Gamemastery Guide, or any questions for Lyz herself, so we can ask some of them on stream!
This Pathfinder Friday (10/11/2019) will be about the factions in the Lost Omens Character Guide. We will be joined by Designer Mark Seifter, Developer Eleanor Ferron, and additionally Developer Luis Loza. You get three folks this time ready to take on your questions about the Lost Omens Character guide. Do you have any questions for them to answer on stream today at 4 p.m. Pacific? They'll be focusing primarily on the factions in the book. Such as the Hellknights, Society, Firebands, and so on. But I'm sure we can elaborate a bit more on other sections of the book.
For those wanting the scribbles we did for the creature companion stream. You can find it here.
I hope to see you all live this week!
I missed the Twitch stream, will the Sep 27 video go up on Youtube at some point? Here is the video. I apologize for its delay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1J6STHSrig Now what's in the pipeline for this week and beyond? This Friday Oct 4th at 4:00 p.m. Pacific we will have Creative Director James Jacobs & Developer Luis Loza sitting down with you all and showcasing the top 10 big lore changes that have happened between Pathfinder 1E & Pathfinder 2E! Next week for Oct 11th we will then have an overview of the new Factions your adventurers can join or even destroy in the new Lost Omens Character Guide with Mark Seifter & Eleanor Ferron!
That's Starfinder LEAD DESIGNER for Joe Pasini. Sorry Joe!
We usually put the VODs up on youtube a week after. Also, I apologize folks. I just got back from Twitch Con! I got to meet several of you there. And it was an absolute blast meeting you all! Now what's in the pipeline for this week and beyond? This Friday Oct 4th at 4:00 p.m. Pacific we will have Creative Director James Jacobs & Developer Luis Loza sitting down with you all and showcasing the top 10 big lore changes that have happened between Pathfinder 1E & Pathfinder 2E!

Then for Oct 30th we will be showcasing the rest of the Character Operations Manual and showing folks how it can assist your playing experience!
To note we will be staying away from errata and super specific rules questions for now. The reason being that if we answer them on a livestream, we aren't in a position to double check and research if our answer to a specific rules question or a solution to an erratum is correct. And if we answer incorrectly, I'm sure people will highlight that portion of the livestream and then use it, even though it could of potentially be wrong, since they had to make an answer right up on the spot due to the fast-paced nature of streaming. Plus, it's harder to find the answer you need to your question in a livestream than somewhere you could look it up online. So instead the team has been taking a lot of your feedback and questions, and they've been getting the ball rolling on the errata internally so they can distribute it to you guys in an effective way.
Hi folks! I'm Payton Smith, your Social Media Producer. And I wanted to better communicate with you all on what will be going on during your Pathfinder Fridays. Similar to what we do with Starfinder over here. In this thread, I hope to gather questions for our developers to be asked live on stream before the planned date. And to also gather feedback from you all. To see how well we're doing, as well as seeing what you may be hungry for next.

I will do my best to keep this main post up to date with the current events. But encase I'm out of the office to update you all. Please refer to the latest posts further down this thread to receive further information. Currently, for September 27th. We will be giving you a developer commentary on the creation of the Age of Ashes Adventure Path: Cult of Cinders. On our Twitch channel, we recently did a video on Hellknight Hill in a similar format if you wish to see it here. For this one, however, it will be pre-recorded. As I'll be visiting you all at Twitch Con during the time the broadcast would usually take place. So I would love to take your questions about this Adventure Path, and any inquiries about the behind the scenes in this thread to be asked in the coming premiere on the 27th. Remember to catch us live every Friday at 4 p.m. Pacific for Pathfinder Fridays!
This Wednesday will be all about the new Biohacker in the Character Operations Manual! We will be having a system in place to have chat help us build a character using Alien Archive 3 and the Operations Manual. Hopefully, we'll have time for a Q&A at the end. But just encase do you all have any questions for Jason Keeley and Rob McCreary about the new Operations Manual?
Sadly Jason Bulmahn is currently sick with the Knights of Everflame cold (Tweet at @JasonBulmahn to wish him well in recovering)! So to fill in for today are the ones who helped develop and bring the Ages of Ashes Adventure Path to you, Amanda Hamon and James Jacobs. They will be talking about all the behind the scenes stuff about what went into this AP. And also some cool previous to now sketches of some of the areas. What questions would you have for them about this adventure path and their involvement in it? List your questions here and we will see if we can answer them all at 4:00 p.m. today for Pathfinder Friday! https://www.twitch.tv/officialpaizo. Note: In the future, we will be announcing these farther in advance. This is just a special case due to work sickness.
Dear Journal of Magical Expertise The Barbarian yelled at me for casting fireball again. After ruining her favorite hairstyle & fur pelt cloak. I'm afraid I don't have much longer t- The rest of the journal would be filled with red ink I'm afraid.
To note we will be doing most of the voting live on stream. So you get to interact with us live. Also, I'm going to be leveling this character up to lvl 5. And then I'll upload this character's PDF somewhere so you all can use it in your game or in our new Demo adventure!
On September 13th this Pathfinder Friday (THE 13th OH NOO) Me and Mark Seifter will be going through the Lost Omens World Guide, AND the up and coming Lost Omens Character Guide. And showing new and even veterans how to use these books to make a character. And YOU chat get to help us out on this. By voting on which ancestry and background we'll be using from the Lost Omens books. Along with a class from the core rulebook! For those that may not know. I am still learning Pathfinder Second Edition myself. And these streams have been extremely informative for me personally. So I figured let us show the fans who may be new to RPGs like this how to use these resources. While still giving veterans a look into the new books and systems coming their way! So I hope you help teach me this awesome game from now and to the future. On Sept 13 at 4 p.m. Pacific for this Pathfinder Friday! Twitch link:here..

Designer Logan Bonner and Editor Leo Glass will be sitting with you folks this Pathfinder Friday to showcase what they've been working on for the Gamemastery Guide. They have a lot to talk about. Including the process of designing a book such as this. But I wanted to open a thread to allow folks to ask some initial questions. I can't guarantee that we can answer all of them. But I personally love to keep a tally of these questions so we know how to approach certain subjects in the future. Once more you will find us LIVE on 9/6/2019 at 4 p.m. Pacific on the official twitch page: https://www.twitch.tv/officialpaizo Hope to see you all there!

This Starfinder Wednesday on AUG 28 is all about the Starfinder Society! I'll be snagging John Compton this time to talk about the Starfinder Society and all the awesome things they do. That and due to the developments they've had at Gen Con. We're going to be discussing the First Seeker and the recent developments around that for society players.
Hoo boy sorry fellas! Been super busy for me here. Today's show is about the Attack of the Swarm adventure path! I'm open to any potential questions for our lovely guest, Jason Keeley, who will be joining me!
Hey folks! To answer a few questions. We moved the times back to what you are all use too! Initially, it was due to some scheduling with our co-workers. But things worked out in the end! As much as I'd like to pull it back earlier to give as many of you a chance to watch as possible. Timezones are a cruel mistress, and our schedules internally are ever-shifting to meet everyone's demands for awesome content! As for sending any questions before the show. I highly encourage it! Send me as many questions as you can! I can't guarantee they'll all get answered. But I will certainly do my best!
It's earlier start times currently due to folks schedules around the office. Once things calm down we will try to transition it back to it's old time slot to best fit with viewers times. This should be temporary as we get things sorted on our end.
Heya Folks! Wanted to give you all a heads up that Starfinder Wednesdays will be making a return. Along with Pathfinder Fridays. Some positional and structure adjustments may occur to the show while I still get use to everyone. But I am super excited to meet all of you and show off what the team has been busting their bums for! According to this paper I have, the next show should be on the 14th of August. At 1 PM Pacific time. Sadly no show on the week of my post here. As several folks are taking a well deserved break from Gen Con! I hope to see you all there. And I hope I can make you all proud!
Lali-Ho! Super excited to play through these myself!
Look at those!
Lali-Ho! It's such a pleasure to meet all of you! The past few livestreams we've done about building your character, playing the game, and advancing your hero has filled my heart with joy knowing so many of you stopped by and enjoyed the show! I wanted to remind folks when the livestreams are. So that we can continue to give away awesome swag and answer as many questions as we can for you all before GenCon! At the same time I am also asking for questions from our lovely forums here! These questions will be asked during a spot on the livestream. So ask away for the specific show! The last few shows we have until GenCon is: "The World as We Know it" with James Jacobs
This is mainly about lore, adventure paths, lost omens, and the world if you have any questions about that. "Running the Game" with Jason Bulmahn
This is primarily about Game Mastering, Monsters, Etc. Would love to grab whatever questions you may have for these fine gentlemen. And get as much info out to you as possible! Oh! And I have something VERY Special planned for Jason's stream. So I highly encourage you to show up for it! Thank you all for such a warm welcome. Still getting use to everything here at Paizo! Twitch Chanel: https://www.twitch.tv/officialpaizo
So, Payton, you said in the stream that you're still on Central time. Where are you from? I'm from Louisiana! Sure did dodge the recent hurricane!
Hey everyone! I wanted to thank all of you for such a warm welcome! I'm extremely touched by this amazing community. And I hope to get to know you all in the future! - Payton Smith |
