I'd like more stuff for the Spirit Monger Necro that actually involves spirits, haunts, etc. So far everything seems to be themed for the bone or meat Necromancer. I'm sure Paizo will include stuff like that in the final release as they usually limit playtest options for testing purposes.
I could see Dark Archives getting a remaster and the remaining parts of Secrets of Magic being folded into another “magic” book. Secrets of Magic would require an extensive rewrite whereas the Pactbinder is two pages. I’m thinking that both books and the four classes in them will be folded into another “magic” book or something like that.
Reddit and/or Discord.
Paizo have stated before that their main priority as a business is to be successful enough to continue telling the kinds of stories that they want to tell. Paizo being a positive force in the industry and a part of a rising tide that lifts all boats is a part of that priority and in my opinion the part that makes them successful. Paizo only come considers themselves to be in competition with themselves to make Pathfinder the best TTRPG it can be.
Not to linger on this, but I truly cannot imagine a funnier reason to quit the game than "they renamed some creatures". Like, gosh, I like catgirls too, but I don't throw my books in the trash when it takes me an extra half-second to find them. The humor wears off and my time is far too valuable to waste on people who throw foaming at the mouth tantrums over any/everthing.
I think the only way Achaekek can get killed is if he gets a girlfriend.
The fluidity of familiars made me wonder if a familiar even needs to look like a real world animal. Could I have a familiar that looks like a cross between a dragonfly and a python or opossum and a fox? Basically an amalgam of multiple creatures whose form is cosmetic only and doesn't necessarily mean they have any specific abilities. I could live with specific features requiring specific abilities according to the base animal's form but it seems cooler if my BatMonkeyDingo could have wings but not have fly today. Maybe having the familiar morph new features depending on abilities chosen for each day?
Late to the party but thank you so, SO much for this.
An extra friendly yellow skittermander wearing the tailored attire of an Abadar Corp Salescreature comes by to make an announcement. "There's popcorn available from the Abadar store! You can order it Akiton-plain, Castrovellian Chocolate, Triaxian Treacle, Apostae-extra salty, or Zo!-style (it's the cheesiest!) If you like sugary popcorn aimed for the adventurous eater, we have a deal through Olli's Option bar for sweet popcorn dipped in just about every taste you can imagine! Just order it in advance of the Drift Crisis, otherwise we cannot guarantee our delivery dates!" No Absalom Station Salt & Vinegar?!
Those are all excellent suggestions. I suspect we'll see some of them in the game sooner than later. The Eberron setting had spell guns or wand guns that were essentially wands in a gun shaped holder. (Wands don't work like that in PF2E though.) I also don't see a need to keep everything gun shaped but don't want to go into the overwrought flanges and spikes on ALL THE THINGS like most fantasy weaponry tends to have. I was thinking more of something shaped like a Star Trek: TNG phaser or the staffs Ra's troops used in the original Stargate movie, less gun-like in shape but still "guns." I'd have them still do kinetic damage but use "magic" instead of bullets and gunpowder. I like the idea of magic rail guns! Something like the HV Penetrator from the FEAR games. It launches big bolts that can pin the target to walls. A magic gun that does something similar would be awesome. The hobgoblins of Oprak are heavily invested in alchemy so guns of all stripes would be a perfect fit for them. The cool thing about pepperboxes is that they existed for every type of firearm from matchlock to flintlock. I think they'd be a great part of Pathfinder iconic look. As an aside, The Dishonored series are a lot of fun if you like sneaky, stealthy games. You are rewarded for not killing everything but you and there are many ways to go through the levels. You can usually catch them on sale on Steam. Play the first one and all of the DLC or parts of the second one won't make sense. The Death of the Outsider DLC wraps up the series perfectly. The world-building, especially the magic system, is what really sells it. The games are a few years old but they still hold up well on modern systems. Happy gaming!
I'd like more information on how to adjust loading times to make revolvers and magazine fed firearms work. I'm not really all that concerned with absolute balance against other weapons. And off the top of my head:
For Starfinder 2E I'd like to see a 640 page core book.
TL;DR:
Uh, that already happened. A parallel question is whether a significant number of Pact World citizens want to be like the Vesk and would welcome as liberators.
Wow. Just downloaded the PDF for this. It's huge - both in page count (over 300 pages) and PDF size (176M). It looks to have about three times the content of previous Lost Omens volumes. I can't wait to dive into it.Yes. City of Absalom will be huge too. KEEP 'EM COMING! This book is absolutely amazing. The layout, the level of detail and the world-building are absolutely top notch. It really puts the bar up there.
I would like themed books that cover:
For Golarion specific:
Starfinder needs replicants. I've thought about just reskinning androids or using the one's from Interface Zero.
The Ranger is at least as much the primal fighter as the monk is occult, and Barbarian gets a taste of that too. I'm not saying that there's not space for a more heavily primal-themed martial or semi-martial class, but I don't think the "occult fighter" slot is filled all that well either. The Hexblade from 3E is the only thing that comes to mind that would fit that mold. I vaguely remember a few third party classes that also used the debuff/hinder mechanic on a fighter frame. It would be a neat design space to explore.
Broad Arc is not listed on table 1-2 "Weapon Upgrade Costs" on page 17 of the Starship Operations Manual. What would be a fair BP cost multiplier to upgrade a starship weapon with the Broad Arc special property? For reference: Broad Arc
I also would like a book like this. I'd like for it to cover things like starting player run organizations like guilds, businesses, etc. I've always wanted to play a game based around setting up merchant houses like the Medici and establishing trade routes than span continents. The kingdom management rules coming in Kingmaker would be a great place to start for Game of Thrones type campaigns and I'd like to see them really lean into that!
I doubt we'll get an Arcanist class, flexible preparation was pretty much the whole point. That's pretty much it. The only other thing they had going for them was spell exploits and burning spell slots to fuel spell exploits.
The worse part is going to be the cleanup if the villagers survive because now you have a corpse that weighs ~1270kg (2800lbs) and is roughly as tall as a two story building laying in front of the gates. That's gonna get ripe really fast. An elephant has ~450L (120gal.) of blood. A dead giant is going to start leaking a lot of blood all over the place as soon as it expires.
