Where can I pre-order the audiobook?

I can't make the live streams! Some one ask about a character sheet redesign for me!!!

Really excited for this! I am also in love with the name.

I have a feeling the moment my players hear the word "slaves" they are not going to to want to friend the cults. I wonder if they are just going to kill everything.

How would you all remove the slave aspects?

I am the player btw. So if you have questions I will answer.

I ran an encounter with this very situation in my playtest. Definitely ran it as they are immune to almost everything with some flex for targeting specific elemental weaknesses.

Kineticists definitely hated this fight.

me. I was the Kineticists (2 in a party of 4) and golems are the second worst fight. Hate them. Kill all of them. They need to go extinct.

Question about the Lady Michellia entry. Is this meaning to imply she is a triplet?

After her older twin sister, Imrizade, fled Absalom before the twenty-first birthday that would have seen her handed over to the Onyx Alliance Michellia was substituted as the family’s generational sacrifice, beating her twin Eleanir as the eldest by a matter of minutes.

So the three would be:

Am I just reading this wrong?

What if there were no discount for PDF? What if the PDF was the same as the price of the book...

I can only speak for myself, I would stop buying them. The difference between the PDF and the printed book are the costs of printing and acquisition (shipping, etc.). The price of the PDF should simply be the printed price less the printing cost. Some PFDs (Lost Omens) are already over-priced.

Sorry for responding so late but I wanted to address a few things with my idea. Yes...there is a lot of cost with the manufacturing but personally? I think I am buying the content. I want these spells and this art and these classes. I want to support the creators and the company I love! I also think they could do cool stuff with it! Make the PDFs linked out. When a spell references another book, put a link to that book. When the PDF says "see page 39" you click and go to page 39! By giving the them more money they can make the PDFs truly special. The people who work on these books are pouring out their creative content and we should be paying a "fair" price for them.

Also I was saying that you would still get a PDF with a physical sub. I get the AP sub because I want both the PDF and the physical book. However, I don't want a large amount of hard covers. I don't have room for them. So I have to wait for them to be available on PDF and then remind myself to go them. This is easy for me because I am checking in every week but still. To have a digital sub would be wonderful and making it the same cost as the physical copy just makes sense to me.

Can I secord (or third??) some more cosmetic merch? I cannot tell you how much I want a hoodie with a kobald on it (or more goblins).

I know there is always talk about a digital sub but that it is not a possibility due to relationships with store. I get that but what if the PDF came out at the same time as the books and cost the same a well? (I said this is a diff thread too). So much effort goes into these books! I have no desire for physical copies but I would 100% pay the hardcover price for a PDF. I feel like being priced the same - there is less "competition"

This maybe a tangent but...What if there were no discount for PDF? What if the PDF was the same as the price of the book and you could have a physical sub (get PDF for free) or a digital sub (pay full price)? Then would that still hurt FLAG business? I would love to pay full price for the PDFs actually.

I just don't get why its big deal to ask why? We want Paizo to stand out. We want them to be the best right? I think it is really dodgy how she was fired and this is a time for us to ask Paizo to be better. Sara Marie was the person a lot of people DID know. She modded these said forums. But in the end I just thing the community is asking Paiso to be better and have outlined specific ways in which we want to see it.

Thanks Heather! I will try to be better :)

It doesn't need my voice and isn't going to get it.

this is just stupid... you posted on this thread my friend....with your voice......

additionally, i really dont see why it is a problem to say "this firing sounds sketch...we want a 3rd party investigation"

we are doing this AP now and we love it!!

True. Although it does mention that their power at the end of book 6 is "increased". I do like the idea of a colony and educational steps. We are just finishing book 3 but I was prepping for the future.

We find out in book 2 that Aroden took the Aeon Orbs from the Xulgath. That is one of their primary motivations for revenge. In Book 6, under the entry for the NPC Kirosthrek is says the following.

The heroes may feel they owe the xulgaths some form of reparations for Aroden’s theft millennia ago, and Kirosthrek is willing to entertain reasonable offers to benefit her people, in lieu of the aeon orbs. The details and repercussions of such an arrangement are beyond the scope of this adventure

I wanted to see what ideas you all had. I know my players are going to want to do something. They may even want to give one of the orbs away. What ideas could I (as the GM) propose?

Where can I check what is being shipped? I should have 3 or 4 APs coming my way ( the last one I received was March) but I don't see anything in my pending orders. I did confirm my subscription was still active.

I am wanting to record me reading some of the tales that have been posted to the blog. Is this covered under community use? What about sections from the Lost Omens books? I just thought it would be nice to have a different way of reading them.

Hey! we just put out a new episode about common game fallacies and tropes.

You can listen to it here or where ever you get your postcasts!

I printed the entire section and some from the toolbox too (weapons and spells). However, I did put blocks over the spoilery bits. There aren't many but I didn't want them to see the chapter names and there was a paragraph in the beginning I covered.

First session was last night but it was easy for my PCs. One of them was a "ringmaster in training" but when they planned for first show they did it as a team! it was perfect!

I am on the Dice Don't Die podcast. We release every week with an actual play and then a discussion episodes alternating. Our play is more geared toward new players so the idea of content geared toward older players sounds fun! It might be cool to take a concept then min max the hell out of it. The build a different version that might be more "thematic" then compare the math.

this is amazing! is the bottom flat or do you use supports?

It looks like a few people already have the PDF. Does anyone know when it shows in your downloads? is it when it ships?

I really like this idea Krysgg! Follow up question - how much time does this normally take at your table? I would not want to do something that would take up more then a few min. but I could see this starting out as a long conversation. Once they have done it a few times it then becomes routine.

Wow my friends! This is wonderful news. Thanks for all your hard work <3

Is pf2.easytool.es in violation of copyright? I see they are using things from AoA

This is very cool! I love the theme of it!

I have made some updates and corrections. let me know if any more changes are needed.

For skills: do you have to click the little button for proficiency for them to calculate?

Hey gamers! I redid the first page of the 2E character sheet for my own use. It's not perfect, but the main goal was to be utilitarian while also being easier on my (not great) eyes. Figured I'd post it for anyone who might want to use it.

My attempt

I like it! very clean. my only negative feedback is that melee strikes can use dex or str.

I like it. My only criticism is that I don't like labeling the fields with the levels as I like to be f=more free form on where I put feats and abilities. Really though it looks great.

I modified the sheet so that it calculates proficiency! You can download it here

I modified the PF2 black and white sheet so that it calculates a lot of totals for you. Please let me know what issues you find and I will edit it.

You can download it here.

We got our early review copies from Paizo and have been dying for you guys to hear our take on it! Check out our preview and first impressions video! It's Discussion Episode 7!

Sweet. I'd enjoy an actual play of Age of Ashes.

Same! The GM just got the book last night and is already preping.

With lots and lots of people having the books (except for me; mine are apparently never going to ship), are there any PF2 podcasts starting up? Either just rules discussions or actual-play.

Dice & Slice just went silent after the end of May or so.
Hoping for an Age of Ashes or even converted ones.

Dice and Slice will be back soon after an unexpected summer break! They just recorded an episode last night creating characters with the new rules. They will be running Age of Ashes. We also will be uploading the last episodes with the Karps as well in the coming weeks.

Since it involves several other departments I'm not making any guarantees, but it looks like we're aiming by the end of this week.

Thanks for letting us know and working hard on this!

I know the folks who have this monstrous tomes would probably prefer to not damage their books trying to print sheets and we are only 10 days out from the release of the book.

I bet that the PDF character sheets won't be released till Aug 1st as with the other PDFs. In the meantime, I am just using google docs... Not ideal for me but oh well.

As I was sorting cards last night I do see what you mean by dilution so maybe not all the 0 level cards but maybe the ones from the class decks? I do want some extra variation.

Additionally, I am thinking of putting a sticker over the level 1 basic cards that has a 0 on it.

I am thinking of taking all the Level 0 cards from the other base sets and adding them into the Core set. The rules state that all B, C, and P cards are Level 0. However, the rules also say that a card with the Basic trait is a Level 0 card.

If the # on the card is 1 but it has the Basic trait, is the card a Level 0 or Level 1 card?

Do you guys see any reason I should not add the level 0 cards from other base sets to the Core Set?

My only actual issue with the art is Droogami, I think. Whose PF1 look I much prefer.

I actually love the new art for Droogami! I understand that it is a more unrealistic look over PF1 but has this wonderful stockiness to it.

Droogami is a thicc boi now!

I'm also a little critical of the way Amiri's being described - sickly, on drugs, junkie... like there are no pale, skinny women in reality, right? And they absolutely won't feel demeaned by this kind of talk. I absolutely understand if people don't like this version of Amiri and can see the potential problems with her (although I don't honestly think old Amiri looked like a str 18 athlete either, at all), but let's please tone it down for the sake of avoiding shaming real people.

I agree with you. Her skin does not look sickly to me but it is not bronzey like the PF1 version. She is very fair but her eyes do have a sunken, "have not slept ever", look. That may be what some people are touching on? Also when you look at them side by side the undertone on the PF2 version just stands out more. I think this look is intimidating and powerful. I want to be her friend.

As a short person, I much prefer landscape! Thank you for the options between the two.

If anyone has topics they are interested in us discussing let us know!

I think this is the class I am most excited about. I really like this theme and cannot wait to try it out.

The thing that excites me the flexibility I see in fighters. I know of people who would not play them because they were "boring". There is little chance of them being boring in Pathfinder 2.

However, If your only going to be getting one shot per round (or less)anyway (current gun rules) then having a 17-20/x4 crit becomes less of an issue.

I LOVE the Witch! The one I am currently playing is level 7:

Str: 8, Dex:16, Con:14, Int:23, Wis:7, Cha: 9
Feats: Extra Hex, Imp. Initiative, Toughness, Spell Focus (Necromancy), Imp. Familiar
Hexes: Fortune, Misfortune, Cackle, Evil Eye, Slumber

He is so fun to play! I do mostly buffing/debuffing but have the flexibility to be whatever the party needs....except for being competent in social situations (he is so awkward).

Extra Hex is a feat I would always take. Always. Your hexes are your strength...the more of them you have the more powerful you are.
