What are your favourite 3rd action abilities? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I like combining Athletics action (Trip, Shove, etc) with Assurance on low(er) level enemies.

What's your favorite piece of GM advice? in c/[email protected]

I can relate. Our group's all time favorite NPC is literally named TBD ๐Ÿ˜…

Good resources for Foundry VTT? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

For tokens on the VTT I use: https://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/ . I'm still experimenting with music but my group usually just throws on a random YouTube playlist.

What app or tool would you recommend for building characters to use around the table? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Like everyone else, I can't recommend Pathbuilder 2e enough! I even paid for it although the basic version does almost everything (with ads). The only bummer is that the app and web version are separate purchase.

Switching from DnD 5e to Pf2e Ressources in c/[email protected]

AoN is Archives of Nethys, the official Pathfinder SRD (1e and 2e), which you can find at: https://2e.aonprd.com/ (also linked elsewhere).

This last bit is, I think, key. I've only dabbled in 5e but that was the biggest change coming from 3.5/PF1e was that it was no longer about optimizing individual character builds but rather playing smart team tactics that change from encounter to encounter. It's hard to make a truly bad character on accident but it can be equally hard figuring out how to contribute during each fight, e.g. you probably don't want to make the third swing at -10.

Recommended Apps? (pathfinder.social)

What sorts of tools/apps/programs/etc do people use to journal or record their solo adventures? I would love to have a fancy notebook and roll physical dice but being realistic I think something I could run on my Android as either a web or native app and handle both dice rolls and journaling would be ideal. I'm currently considering RoleGate since I use it for some PBP games with moderate success but I'd love to hear what other people use or have considered, either as all-in-one or standalone journals/dice/etc to make a complete system.

Ah, very cool! Sounds similar to success with a complication mechanic in other games. I just assumed it was a deck of yes/no cards (along with other randomizers).

Thanks for the mini-review!

Mythic seems to be very popular for this sort of thing, I need to check it out and I love the tarot card idea! I can definitely see the benefit to the slower pacing allowing you to dig in to the rules.

Have you had a chance to use it?

Any Pathfinder players here? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think a lot of us have ended up over on pathfinder.social but the beauty of the Fediverse is that you can join us there (and we can join you here)! Not sure if I linked the Lemmy instance correctly, let me know and I can try to fix it. I'm still new to all of this!

How do you prep your Homebrew/APs? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks so much for the insights! I'm the same when it comes to point one so that's good to watch out for and same for the other two. I'm fortunate to get to play fairly regularly but I'm realizing I have a stack of books I will never get through with my group if I don't do it on my own.

P.S. I love your avatar.
