So many great contributors to a fantastic book! Jessica that Euphoric Loop is a great addition for charms. And if y'all don't stop by Materials Changes when in Absalom, you're making a mistake!

Kendra the alchemical foods are a delight. We need some mundane recipes to simulate I think!

Yvonne the fulus are amazing, and really add some great roleplaying opportunities! I hope people learn more about their true cultural place in the real world.

I could go on and on, but thank you all!

Those maps! Those beautiful images! The bad ass fights! The threat of the amber die! OAD is back!

Welcome Karee! 100 hours is a true accomplishment!

So glad I got to see you, Adam, and Theodora at PAX Unplugged.

So excited for more updates!

It was an amazing final episode. The fear and threats were real, but so was the glory! Looking forward to season 2!!!

Great blog post! You're right about those high numbers! 2E really can pack a lot in and keep you going or take you down! Very energizing read through and always appreciate the beautiful pictures the team takes! I'm so very envious considering my team has gotten very busy this autumn so we haven't played much more, let alone our Strange Aeons game. Thanks for sharing Order of the Amber Die!

Thank you Order of the Amber Die for tracking everything with such detail! Great snapshots!

Wonderful first post and outing with the Pathfinder Playtest, Order of the Amber Die!

I'm shocked you didn't have any character deaths! I really thought my players would escape unscathed, but maybe it was the last of hero points that got one done in. Our human monk who excelled against Drakus fell to centipedes after they came back a third day to 'clear up' the rest of the Ashen Ossuary. I also dropped numerous characters below 0, though at least 3 of those were the barbarian within the same encounter. Try as the Cleric might to heal him, I brought him down!

Love that goblin alchemist mini!

Question for the DM and Sajan: with the flurry action did you do the two Strikes as 0/0 or 0/-4? We did the 0/-4.

Thrilled we'll have your updates to follow! Thank you!

Hi all!

I'm starting the playtest with 5 PCs tomorrow so I went through to expand the encounters to accommodate this. I didn't want to add only to existing encounters to avoid overwhelming the PCs, especially with the players new to the system and also because it's hard to do so considering level 0 creatures are considered party level -2. There aren't any creatures considered party level -1. I chose to make 2 new encounters by adding to a non-encounter room and a hazard. For the third I did make an encounter harder. I added 4 goblin zombies to the motivation room, another quasit to the purification to the fountain, and an air mephit to the Choking Sands.

I hope this helps others, but also if you modified things differently let us know!

Here's the breakdown below or here's the google doc I'm using:

XP building:/b] denotes XP to add or subtract for handling 5 pcs based on page 21 of the Bestiary
[b]Total Extra XP for 5 players: 160

A1. Slimy Cistern - Trivial
Sewer Ooze 1; XP building 10

A2. Mudchewer Central - High 1
4 Goblin Warriors (0); XP building 20

A3. Vermind Den - Severe 1
6 Centipedes (0); XP building 30

A4. Motivation Room - NEW High 1
NEW 4 goblin zombies (0); XP building -80
After a hero examines one of the intact bodies and starts to step away, the bodies rise as zombies from the corruptive negative psychic energies that have built up here from what Drakus has done.

A5. Fungus Bloom
Mindfog Fungus - Hazard 2

A6. Purification Fountain - High 1 NEW Severe 1
2 Quasits (1); XP building 20
NEW 3 Quasits (1); XP building -40

A7. Goblin Headquarters - Severe 1
Various Goblins; XP building 30

A8. Room of Ruined Repose - Severe 1
6 Skeleton Guards (0); XP building 30

A9. Choking Sands - NEW Low 1
Sands of the Boneyard - Hazard 1
NEW Air Mephit (1); XP building -40
When the sands are released, so too is the Air Mephit that was bound here to protect the shrine. It attacks anyone that remains in the air or tries to continue on into the shrine. It is immune to the Sands of the Boneyard as Elemental do not need to breathe.
Note: Normally this would be a Trivial threat but due to the combo with the Hazard, I made it Low.

A10. Befouled Shrine - High 1
Drakus (3) Dire Rat (0); XP building 20

A11. Pharasma’s Sanctum

A12. Drakus’s Lair
Poisoned Lock - Hazard 1

Welcome back Paizo blog! Love the little guys! Looking forward to picking up some of these for Strange Aeons that I'm starting next month.

Also hope all are well rested after Starfinder and Gen Con!

Hm, what's the iconic shifter?
