Is Finder a sacred cow?
They don't seem to have announced a winner yet, but "Legendary Roleplaying Game" seems to be the clear leader in the poll.
Winner for what?

There's a lot of properties and products already called "Legendary", as well as a couple of small RPGs with similar names. Seems like it wouldn't have good searchability. OTOH, it is their company name, so maybe it's a good match?
I would have expected Newfinder to be called Legendary RPG, if they want that to be their flagship. Meanwhile Corefinder would be called Corefinder.

New official name for Corefinder. Check the link in my last post before the one you quoted for the poll.

I really do love the "Corefinder" version of weapon focus, I can't wait to see their version of weapon specialization.
Yeah, I do like that added bonus with the weapon groups.
A biiiiit late, but dotting this. xD

Hope some new previews will be out soon.
I do wish this one was more active. I am not a fan of the format of the "Corefinder" site.
Well the place that there is a link to on the first page.
Do you mean the Legendary Games Discord? If so yeah, it's a chatting tool far more than it is a long-form discussion solution. That's what forums are for (heck, even reddit would be a better way of letting people speculate and wishlist features). Discord is awful for compartmentalizing discussion and especially awful at retaining previous discussion. Scrolling up a channel's chat history to see what people were talking about two months ago is a nightmare.
They also have only a sole text channel for Corefinder discussion, which definitely doesn't help.
Yeah, discord was the word I was looking for.

After a hiatus for a hundred reasons, the previews once again MUST FLOW!
I've queued up five previews looking at skills and skill uses by the dynamic David N. Ross! Check out the first one right here for Sleight of Hand!
You never saw it coming... :)

I can't wait for more previews...though I will have to wait for them to be available for me;)

Not a fan of treat wounds being able to be used once an hour. Any group with a decently trained medic can easily be at full hit points every day, never needing magical healing no matter how badly injured they are that way (using magic healing in combat is a different story). I'm not even sure why long term care is needed with the level of hit points curable by treat wounds. Even a max Con barbarian could have all of their hit point restored in a day of having their wounds treated.
I'd suggest a cap of only being able to have your wounds treated 3 times per day (which could unlock abilities or traits which could increase this).

...never needing magical healing...A feature to some, though I understand your objection.
Even if I were playing in a game which never needed magical healing, I wouldn't want to play in a game where you could pretty easily be fully healed every day without much challenge. You wouldn't even need a legendary medic to do that, as long as you could reliably hit DC 20. Assuming that you can take 10 as PF1 allows, then having a +10 to Heal skill isn't hard to do by level 5, at which point it's automatic. You can quibble bout what the cap should be about how much non-magical healing you can have in a day, but I still think a cap should exist.
I am fine with being able to treat wounds once an hour.

A few things. First... everyone's feedback is valuable. So while I'm about to disagree with you, I'm listening, and typically so is Legendary Games.
Second, remember that right now everything is subject to change. These are the ideas and proposals LG has. Actual playtesting may render them unworkable.
Those said, Burger King. Some people like McDonald's and some like Burger King. Me, I like Burger King. Using hitpoints as a longish-term challenge factor against players has - IMHO - always been a poor choice. It leads to encounter balance that's impossible because the designer never knows what the health of a party might be. Obviously it's not a fatal design flaw or the 3.x system wouldn't have flourished. But it's still silly. I'm 100% okay with players being able to get their PCs to full health after an encounter has ended. Making it take a while is great, because it does allow a DM to optionally put the pressure on during that cooldown. But it eliminates the random senseless campaign-ruining deaths that come from "well, let's just check this closet before we rest" behaviour. How are players to know there's a party-level-plus-two encounter in that closet?
But seriously, this choice is the result of lots of voices asking LG for pretty much this. Is there disagreement? Absolutely. Is this what's going to get released? Maybe. Is your opinion valued? Also absolutely.
Just know that no matter what gets printed, it's after careful consideration.

That's all fair and good, but to extend your analogy, I prefer a casual sit down restaurant and hope not to get either BK or McDs (though given the choice, I'd pick BK also for what it's worth). :)
The kith traits sound interesting.
I can't wait to see more kith traits and some kin trait stuff.
1)How about quick draw for wands as well.
2)Fractional BAB?
3)Caster levels stacking, I take it you mean multi-classing?
4)I agree
5)I agree
6)I agree
Anybody else having problems getting on the discord all of sudden?
Still can't get onto the discord.
Still can't get onto the discord.
No issues. here.
Must be on my end then.
A new preview showed a cantrip that does 1d6 + casting stat mod to damage(fire). I really like the buffing of damaging dealing cantrips.
Looks like the Profession skill has gotten a big boost and also craft skills are now part of profession.

Is Appraise a part of profession too?

Wow, been a while since I posted here.
So far there have been many previews focusing on spells and rituals so far.
I hope they get to backgrounds and show more stuff for kith traits.
I am not sure what we will see after spells/rituals.

The project is still cranking along. Just taking longer than expected due to an abundance of Real Life and competing imperatives. Still working though and hope to have it together for a playtest by the end of summer!
