Id love to. Unfortunately, every time I ask I dont get anything helpful from my players. Me: "What would you like in the game and setting?" Them: "Oh...I dont know... stuff?" Me: :rolleyes:

How about your favorite quotes from crappy movies?

Could be relative. It took me a very long time to grok 3E and later PF1. All those years of experience have paid off in my being proficient in running/playing it. Perhaps that exercise has taught me to roll into PF2 more easily and understand how it works. I definitely think if I started with 5E...

Well, if we are sliding the goal post to level 1-7... Right from the get go you have move action, standard action, free action, swift action, attack of opportunity action, actions im probably forgetting about actions in PF1... You have class, multi-class, archetypes, feats that encompass combat...

Hmm... Yeah variable BAB, iterative attacks, etc.. of PF1 is way more complicated than the X/-5/-10 system of PF2. I read your posts on PF2 and I just don't understand where you are coming from.

Yeah, I dont really get folks thinking PF2 is equal to or even more complicated than PF1. I think the denseness of the ruleset and reputation of PF1 give a false lead into the PF2 is complicated idea. At launch it was obvious that PF1 had tons more content, but PF2 is now 6-7 years old and...

Finished Steal. It was a fun contemporary noir story.

Yes, my friend that works for FFG and now Asmodee said they got a license to cover all the game types. That was some years ago though so I have no idea about development in the last 5-10. This I have no idea. I wouldnt be surprised at all if Free League and Modiphius couldnt make it work...

The x-wing mini game and BGs and CCGs made loads more money than the RPG. Im not sure there is an interest in licensing out the RPG, and then the Bgs, and then the CCGs., etc.. All those being under one license is likely more attractive. So, thats another hurdle for RPG companies to get the...

Ones that give you a much better IP license deal than SW surely. There are other considerations too like making a bespoke system with a few expansions as Bladerunner has. Im not sure SW fans would be ok with that, or the license contract could pay for itself with such little development...

Im sure they thought twice about it too. Free League is the biggest one and im sure they have an entire division to working out the deals. Deals that are likely better than SW as far as IPs with legs go.

No, but there is a certain math im sure where it stops making sense. Depends on what the license deal contains. There is also the time clock where you could have the IP pulled from you. I think companies are thinking twice before engaging in these kind of deals these days.

Each month has a topic. Darkness in dungeons, DoaM, Adventuring day, martial caster disparity, etc..

I like the framing here. I was just thinking about how I like the core mechanics to be complex and/or deep, and everything else simplified (opposite of D&D). I gotta quibble with PF2 being more complex than PF1, because I really dont think it is. PF2 is a dense game, that benefits greatly from...

Results might be skewed since some posters think this is a thread about Harry Potter :)

I went with an 8 if 5E is a 6. My goto fantasy is still PF1, but I also stand by Traveller, which is a deal simpler. I can appreciate streamlined and simpler games if they are efficient at what they set out to do. Oftentimes, they lack depth, which makes the experience too thin. However, some...

Yeah I’m not sure where the 5E reskin will set records confidence comes from. There been many imitators and even straight SW versions of RPGs and they never really take off. They do collect small hard core fan bases tho.

Thats a good list!

So, like a quarter inch?

I’m in the don’t care about crafting at all club, so complexity should not be there if you want to include it. I love the idea of ritual casting being an adventure itself. This is a place I wouldn’t mind complexity.
