I didn't mind Wayne Reynolds' art in the PF1 era. A few of his original "iconics" I still really like. In recent years, however, I'm not finding any of the PF covers compelling. To be fair, recent D&D covers suffer a similar malaise. I assume I am just out of touch w/ current preferences. The...

Gosh. What happened to Paizo's graphic design? That image and font are both incredibly ugly.

It's not really that funny, but Strange Ians really tickled me :ROFLMAO: Running my third session of The Half Dead City after Easter. The theme and old school feel of this module has been very popular with my players.

Covid also destroyed our Runelords game halfway through The Hook Mountain Massacre. Still bitter :D Since then we've just been playing the old 32 page modules, which has been a lot of fun. However, I am now wanting to run something on a grander scale.

Going to be kicking off The Half Dead City this Sunday. With our group's sporadic schedule, it's almost impossible to complete all 6 books of Mummy's Mask. I'd really like to get the first two done, though.

No, I don't think that's correct. There are space otters, magical bear people and God knows what else. I was really excited for Starfinder when the core rulebook came out. However, once The Pact Worlds dropped interest began to cool. Compare that to The Inner Sea World Guide - it's not nearly...

My issue with Starfinder has always been the goofy, cutesy setting and lacklustre pre-written adventures. Evidence suggests, following in PF2's footsteps will make these issues even worse, from my point of view.

I agree with Payn, Carrion Hill is very good. Richard Pett is always fun. You could also run The Skinsaw Murders as a mini-campaign. That was my favourite section of Runelords and would be easy to adjust to a standalone module. For a different flavour at around the same level, Entombed with the...

Haven't had a chance to run a game for a few months. Playing The Midnight Mirror this weekend. These early 32 page modules from Paizo are so good. Very real world friendly. I am constantly surprised there appears to be no market for such a format if the two big players are anything to go by.

I have disliked nearly all of Paizo's covers for their second edition. I greatly prefer these to their 2e Core Rulebook, though. Thank God, they're getting rid of the brown on brown spines. So ugly.

Personally, I wasn't judging the book at all. I was judging its cover. Which I find ugly.

Both Paizo and Wizards have been travelling aesthetic paths that leave me cold these past few years. Frostmaiden is the last major RPG release that caught my eye (the adventure was poor, though) . The last Paizo release that appealed was probably the Starfinder Core Rulebook. These garish...

For my money, Paizo need to enhance the setting of Starfinder rather than the rules. The setting started off fairly promisingly, but got progressively more goofy and gimmicky with space otters, skittermanders etc. The adventures have also been uniformly weak IMO. This problem is also one of my...

That was not my concern with the PF2 witch at all. Also, that has not been my experience in any system ever at any level - let alone 5th. My issue with the witch I played was it felt nothing like a witch. It felt like an archer who was a bad shot. The support options I enjoyed with the PF1 witch...

When I made my first character for PF2 just after it released, I made a sorcerer. After finishing the character, I realised I was not looking forward to playing it at all. Nor was I excited about any of the options that lay ahead. So, I forgot about the game for a year or so. My one experience...

Possibly waiting for licensing fees to fall? I remember watching the first couple of series of The Walking Dead and thinking it would make a good RPG. Now, I feel much less attraction to the idea.

I was pretty excited when I first got the Starfinder Core Rulebook. However, I feel the adventures/setting were always weak. Thus, I never feel compelled to play it. Having said that, I am running Into the Unknown this weekend, as one of our players really wants to try the system. The perceived...

Thanks. Good tip. I would have probably leapt at the opportunity to expand the module a year ago. However, recently, I've been finding the 32 page module the ideal game supplement. Short and sweet. I was very happy when The Dragon's Demand was released heralding the introduction of the 64 page...

Anyway, getting back to the actual topic of this thread, PF1 games ongoing. Hollow's Last Hope was great. A simple little four hour scavenger hunt, but really fun to run and play through. Next up, I'm thinking some classic Richard Pett. Either The Styes from Dungeon magazine or Carrion Hill.

Interesting. I was on RPG hiatus during the 3e/4e late unpleasantness. It was always whispered to be a time of great turmoil, though. I was quite involved with Paizo fora etc. when PF2 emerged. There were certainly some very bitter, melodramatic people who saw the new game as an affront to all...
