Pip Talks Pathfinder 2e

Love dawnsbury. I've got 100% of the steam achievements! 😁 Sure the visuals/production value isn't BG3 level but the combats are genuinely way more interesting!

AMEN to that! I'm a day 1 backer! 😁

Yeah that mod is brilliant! I really hope its successful, overall.

But I want first party support, not mods. I wish more games would go outside of 5e, because what makes 5e popular for a tabletop (eg. easy to pick up rules, light character building) don't make a good videogame

Oh rogues can sneak attack? Well then they get less attacks to make sure they're dealing about the same damage as everyone else.

I hate that "buff one thing but nerf another" mentality.

To be fully frank the fact that 5e limits how often a barbarian can rage when THATS THEIR WHOLE FUCKING IDENTITY AS A CLASS is hilarious and an indication of a core problem:

5e balances the classes by having every benefit have a drawback.

Now #Pathfinder2e can be more complex. Leveling takes more time as you have more options to choose from. Sure that's more "homework" for players. But who cares about that on a videogame where you get to choose the pace?

And tbh it's nice to just have a system where martials don't feel ass.

NGL #dnd5e is a great system for tables that want thin character building or more casual gameplay, but translated to videogames it falls short.

It's an albatross around BG3. Spending 3 levels to get your class' core abilities sucks.

More games should use #Pathfinder2e, it doesn't have this problem

@techconnectify.bsky.social really is the best Bill Nye since Bill Nye.

If you liked Nye in the 90's, I recommend you save this and watch when you have the time (his videos can be longer, but dense with good info & production quality)

Something I like to do while writing campaigns is to offer different sides to align with, or choices to make, and then give rewards based on which they went with. I know that seems so basic but it really helps make decisions feel meaningful when the rewards remind their path.

#Pathfinder2e

I miss living in boring times.

Every day, I'm happier and happier that I deleted my twitter.

Tavern has rumors of a nearby Cryptid
- Wolf head, bat body
- Shark Head, Wolf Body
- Wolf Head, Owl Body

Always Wolf + Something

Party investigates, turns out its a Werewolf Druid trying to use Wildshape to turn human again. #Pathfinder2e #dnd #ttrpg

Also "Hey can I see your initial sketch?" getting met with "I don't do that" just red flags for miles

I just want to support actual talent and get good art in return WHY HAS MODERN SOCIETY MADE THIS IMPOSSIBLE lol

The last image I got was so laughably bad. Like the perspective was off so bad that the left arm was 50% smaller than the right but lead to a hand that was like 20% bigger than the right?

As positive aside; I also got in contact with the guy who drew my book covers ( kitsunekei1 ) and was so happy that some of my old contacts from 4 years ago are still active.

The battle against AI fraudsters can only be won with people you trust at your side

I hate AI.Beyond the obvious reasons; I've had THREE commissions this month fail because the artist tried to pass off something that was clearly AI as hand-drawn.

Was always hard to find exactly the style I want; good luck finding *reputable*

Special circle of hell for those who lie about art.

I really like this! Part of what made me prefer pathfinder 2e to dnd 5e was the 4 degrees of success making roll results cooked into the game and not on the DM to improvise.

Gonna check this system out for sure!

BOOO THIS PUN

(But applaud this magical item, artwork, and overall execution) #Pathfinder2e

(And also the pun it's very good)

Hey thanks man! I'll keep that in mind for when my calendar frees up a bit 😁

I would literally pay the price of the whole game again just to have a dark mode (eg. black instead of green menus & black chats) in dawnsbury days #Pathfinder2e @dawnsbury.bsky.social

Tbh? I think wotc realized that the easiest way to give the players what they want is to hand them a blank page and tell them to fill in the blank with whatever they want.

But "I got my powers from a God Shard that made me a demigod"? GOOD. At least it TOUCHES the world building at somepoint! lol

3.5 / prior & PF2e all required Champion / Paladins to have *some* deity that you serve to gain your powers

5e was like "lol who wants to engage with the lore or READ lets just let everyone make up their own god or have none and get their power from the *strength of their Oath*" which is... bad.

Champion = I dedicated myself to serving my God's Purpose

Exemplar = Oh shit I'm a demigod now. Uh. What's my purpose? OK I'LL DO THAT.

Exemplar + Blessed One Dedication makes for *such* a good alternate version of what a "Champion" is. It almost feels like that "I want to be a Paladin who only gets his powers from his Oath" trope that's so popular in #dnd5e. (though this is for #pathfinder2e obs)

Fire would consume him shortly, but he died knowing he finally got to save his friends.

RIP Dr. Patrick Duvard. Build linked below for the curious! #PF2e pathbuilder2e.com/launch.html?...

Under his breath, he whispered, "Been an honor being your friend, gentlemen." ‪ Blocking the door, he turned back to the Artificer and yelled to her, "I might not be a Doctor, but I'm taking up residence here."

He fired a single shot from his pistol. It missed.
He didn't care.

They did, expecting him to follow. ‪ He knew running was pointless. She was faster than them, and could fire off another spell. So after they fled, Duvard calmly closed the door behind them.

We were wrong. ‪ First turn, the artificer lifted her hammer & threw a Fireball that hit the whole party. Luckily, no one was downed, but everyone was severely injured. Duvard, tired of not being able to heal those he loved, finally knew how he could protect them. "RUN!" He said.
