The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is LIVE! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
I've been running this game weekly for a while now, here's what I would personally like based on my play experience:
The Aid and Recall Knowledge actions are too vague, disincentivizing players from using them. The system does an excellent job with most other skill type actions, these are two...
The reaction isn't unearned, honestly. Asking to re-buy things being met with skepticism is a healthy response. I like PF2e a lot, but I wouldn't fanboy for it so hard that I would buy literally everything despite little added value.
That being said, I don't think it's a blatant money grab...
That's understandable. The rules will all be online for free anyways, and they've already said they're letting Rulebook subscribers opt out of these books which I'll probably do. The rules changes look 99% for the better, but I would rather not spend another 120-200 on what is basically a...
I've been a Keith Baker fan since I was a kid. Eberron is, bar none, my favorite setting, and his continued influence is what keeps it relevant for me. It would break my heart a little for him to leave it for good, but I can't fault the guy, he's poured so much of his being into a work he...
Depends on what you mean by fighting it.
If you mean fighting the claim that 1.0a can be deauthorized, that is for the courts. Paizo already made it clear they're ready for that battle, so it will happen, just in a way that we can't influence.
If you mean fighting to make Wizards realize...
There is the opportunity cost of having to take an Archetype's Dedication as a feat in and of itself, but there are ways around that (an Elf heritage and a Human feat respectively). Archetypes in 2e are more like a very light and casual version of Prestige Classes in 3.5, in that you exchange...
I do not watch any personally, but I see this question asked a lot. Someone just started a reddit thread with the same premise, I'll link to it since the comments already have a bunch of recommendations.
Arguably, the only things they're putting in the CC are things that are indefensible as copyrightable material anyways, such as "D20 + Modifier" or "Attack Action" concepts. This is entirely for generating headlines that sound good to stop the rampant bleeding of D&DB users.
This is a boondoggle to distract from the deauthorization of the OGL 1.0a, which they aren't backing down on despite having no ability to do so legally. They also have a ridiculous "VTT Policy" packaged with this.
This whole thing is one massive distraction.
How much of the OneD&D survey data is parsed to balance the game is irrelevant to the OGL conversation. Them using written feedback in some capacity, and them utterly ignoring or manipulating the OGL feedback, both of those can be true at the same...
It's amazingly stupid they're still gunning toward that conclusion when a new open license is already in the works to replace it. What features does this new license even contain that gives WOTC any advantage at this point? They're letting go of revenue reporting, royalties, license...
The TTRPG community should collectively be thanking Linda for the journalistic integrity needed for these issues to have been treated as serious in the first place.
It's going to be down to personal preference. My advice would be buy the Pathfinder 2e Beginner Box while it's cheap, run it, and then decide as a group how it compares. For what it's worth, the 2e scene is about to explode as it's flooding with new interest and new creators, so if being part...
