Wandering Adventure Party

It’s been a loooong time since I’ve played FInal Fantasy 7. Like, probably 25 years now. Maybe 20. But definitely before I permanently moved away from home. It’s one of my favourite games of all time, but also, one of the hardest for me to revisit. I’m at the City of the Ancients now, and I’m finding myself woefully unprepared to handle it.

@moondog@meow.social There is no community on the Internet that more firmly treats Water Finds a Crack as a play guide, rather than a warning to designers.

Going to second everyone else saying “it’s not your friend’s character”. Roleplaying games have this nasty effect of attracting people that are focused on doing things “the best way” – they see the games as puzzles to solve – but what the best way of playing is is not a singular thing. And people have this weird tendency to also conflate things that seem similar. Here, I suspect your friend is telling you that you “need” to target all of the different DCs: Fortitude, Reflex, Will, and AC. This provides you with the most flexibility as a caster, and the highest chances of actually getting the maximum effect out of your spells. Because of this, a lot of the online discussion around magic users in the game has actually focused on optimizing your ability to target all of these – because, again, the discussions are dominated by people who want to “solve” the game. But if you’re OK with partial successes and playing the character in a way that feels the most organic to you, you should do that. The game is designed so that you don’t need to be hyper-focused on optimizing your choices. But if your friend isn’t ok with you doing that, then you should start asking them why they want to play your character for you.

Includes stat blocks for 20 original monsters in multiple game systems, with design notes, and accompanied by splendid old-school illustrations by @jencmars.Make your players go "NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE"!

#SimplyPF2e No. 65: Seek. If you have creatures hiding and taking pot shots at you, this is a good way to increase your chances of finding them. Remember, you likely won't be able to find them if they have an effect such as Invisibility on. #Pathfinder2e #ttrpg

Simply PF2e No. 24: Bulk. Here's a link to the Bulk Conversion for Different Sizes over at Archives of Nethys for those of you playing Tiny or Large ancestries https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=257.#ttrpg #pathfinder2e #pf2e #SimplyPF2e #EOG #EldritchOsirisGames

i got to run some games again, finally!gm vacation was way too long xDwe continued our campaings of #SeasonOfGhosts and #QuestForTheFrozenFlame respectively, and they're both going well very different vibes, but in a way, they are both about keeping your loved ones safe ^^ or at least that's what we're focusing on gosh, it feels so good to be back! #Pathfinder2e #pf2e

@hostilearchitecture Ah, yeah, that makes sense. In my case, a PC took it as a Dedication feat, so I'm guessing it won't be quite as "bad" as it could have been if it was his full class.

Wild, people talk to me with an alarming frequency. Maybe Haligonians are just uncomfortably chatty.
