I’m normally very tired of the system war nonsense, but this was pretty funny.
Ok, but swap out A5e instead of pfe2. 🤌🏼
A5e
Never even heard of that before. Looks neat, though.
Cool. I see they use Azora Law and O.R.C. like PF2e.
And my reasoning for not switching to both is the same. “The programs I rely on for creation and collaboration aren’t there.”
Just wondering what programs you’re using. I’m always looking to improve my work flow.
As someone who has never been able to get into DnD I never realized that pathfinder is different. I always assumed it was a sub-company for wotc.
I always assumed it was just an official setting for continued 3.5 games. I only learned early last year that it was from a different company.
But Pathfinder 1 was basically just 3.5 in a different setting.
Pathfinder 2’s it’s own thing, like if the designers of 4e had a chance to try again. Because, uh, that’s a lot of what is actually is.
I would like any recommendation for things that would make pf2 easier. I love the system and I am currently playing it I have the books and read them. I used nethys and watch YouTube videos explaining the rules. But when I am playing it is just so much to keep track of in my head. I am really looking for a remastered cheat sheet or something to put on my dm screen and the best way to keep track of all my players stats for when ever I need to do a secret roll. (Doesn’t help that I am currently swamped with work and try to spend as much time with my family as possible as well)
Try a Pathfinder 2e character builder like Pathbuilder. The character generator on Demiplane is also very nice and has all the automation bells & whistles, but you need to buy the books for most options like in D&D Beyond.
How do you prefer to track things? Other than trying to track things entirely mentally.
I’m still trying to learn how to take orderly notes as a GM, but I find just scratching things down in my notebook as conditions and the like crop up effective. And when tracking in combat, I use a grid to track rounds, with HP in the cell, and sub-scripts and super-scripts to track negative and positive status bonuses, respectively.
Things end up looking like the periodic table.
Though, really, it’s the players responsibility to actually keep track of their buffs and debuffs. I just track to remind myself to ask them.
I also haven’t bothered to give a damn about any of the remastered rules yet. I print off spell lists from pf2easy, and players are responsible for knowing how their abilities work. I’m just there to determine whether they apply in the given situation.
Also, what things can you get away with just not tracking? I dropped most secret checks right away, because my table didn’t like them, and it gave them something else to burn heron points on. It takes away the element of being unsure if you’ve been spotted or not, but there are other ways to inject that back into the game.
disagree in the 4th option lmao
How do you not own what you buy with dnd? Are you leasing your books, minis, dice, character sheets, etc?
reasonably sure it’s a reference to D&D beyond and buying the books on there.
Probably. Just not a fair comparison
Well, we’ll see how 2024/2025 plays out.
Not because they haven’t screwed people over yet, but because that’s a comparison of dndbeyond to pathfinder, not a product that sells digital Pathfinder source books. It’s comparing apples to oranges. As I mentioned in my first post, you can just buy physical books for dnd and the point is moot.
And my point was, though I admit I didn’t state it explicitly, that the current signs point to WotC limiting their physical book offerings going forward.
Ah did you try
