  1. I just watched that video and ran over here to post it if nobody else had. OMFG. This is just ... this is huge. If there was ever a way to give a giant Fornicate You to WotC, that was it. They basically said "Yeah, everything WotC did with their license? We're doing the opposite." And the fact that Paizo is willing to go to court to back up their assertions ... the fact that it's being written in such a way that they absolutely cannot go back on it, even if they change management or get greedy ... I had the same reaction NoNat1s did when he said there was no actual SRD/copyrighted (copywritten?) mechanics in PF2. I know a lot of people who will be relieved to know there won't be a PF 3 or PF 2.1. It already kind of felt like D&D was on life support after One D&D and the OGL fiasco, but I think Paizo just pulled the plug on it. Slaying the Dragon, indeed. I wish Paizo and its allies the best of luck in this.
  2. My Father In Law asked me which was bigger, a quarter or a third pound burger, in a Hardee's once. It took all my willpower to resist asking him if he ever forgot how to breathe.
  3. Already on my standard spiel. I also mention how HERO works for any genre, as I've seen a number of 'I want to use 5e to play this extremely not 5e game' posts like Sci-Fi or Low/Gritty Fantasy. Hmm. Thinking about it a little, I'd say that the rules for HERO enable both players and GMs, where the D&D rules seem more to restrict them. DnD says you can't do X (say, cast Fireball) until you're 5th level, and know how to cast a bunch of other spells. Hero? "I know one spell, Fireball." DnD: "My character can't get superhuman strength without several levels and/or a magic item." Hero: "My demigod started with a 40 Strength. I can juggle cows." Expensive if you're using NCM, but possible.
  4. I've been more or less evangelizing Hero System over on Reddit since The Obnoxious Gouging License 1.1 came down.. Admittedly, I've no doubt most 5e refugees will flee to Pathfinder 2e, but I like to think I'm doing my part. I'm specifically drawing attention to things HERO does well that D&D does poorly, especially the 'have you ever had a character concept you can't make work in D&D? You can do it in HERO' concept.
  5. FINALLY gaming again on a semi-regular basis, so I feel more comfortable taking up space around here. Okay, yeah, it's Pathfinder 2e, but I'm working on it. ANYWAYS. Scene: Someone is stealing baby stegosauruses from a herd. The PCs have tracked them down. I go for an Intimidate check, despite having no idea what it is we're facing (yay, blown Recall Knowledge checks). Miko; "Hey, Creature! Leave those kids alone!" All-told, we've been playing about 5 hours leading up to this one. One member of our party has been throwing sling bullets at things, or moving into melee and swinging a sickle around, all to absolutely no useful effect. Our fighter takes a MASSIVE crit that nearly takes him down in one shot. Her turn rolls around ... That player: "I'll cast Magic Missile." DM: "You can cast spells?" Player: "Uh, yeah, I'm a witch." DM: "You hadn't cast a spell in so long, I totally forgot." (Casters in PF2 have infinite-use cantrips. There's no logical reason she shouldn't have been using those.) "There's an ancient saying passed down through dozens upon dozens of generations, from parent to child in my homeland, a phrase of undeniable wisdom, to be used in a situation such as this. That saying is KISS MY FURRY BUTT."
  6. There's a bar near my house. It takes me five minutes to walk there, but an hour to walk back. The difference is staggering.
  7. Yeah, clumsy title. Anyway ... if you've got Absorption usable as a Defense, does it stop functioning as a defense if your Absorption is maxed out? E.G. Character as 20 base PD and 10 Physical Absorption As Defense. He's absorbed 20 points of incoming BODY ... is his PD 20 or 30 from here?
  8. Hopefully there's no such thing as quantity time in Alabama.
  9. So, Trump's just had another person come to his defense ... Vladmir Putin. Does this constitute a 'stop helping me' moment, getting an endorsement from one of the most corrupt dictators on the face of the planet?
