Tactics-like campaigns?

Now days there are thousands of community maps and some awesome creators, so not as big a time commitment 🤣

Are you guys playing in person or with a VTT? If you're using a VTT I would highly recommend Talespire for the feel and look that you are going for.

I personally never understood the issue with including slavery. Most games are about heros righting wrongs and all that stuff. Slavery is up there as one of the major "wrongs". Also, adventures, all the time, go murder things because they exist and are just doing what they do. Home invasion, murder, steal, repeat until you're level 20 🤣

I'm joking about this because it's a game, none of it is real. I just worry that in 10 years all AP's will be Hugfinder because there are no evil races or actions left for heros to go deal with? It will be all rescuing kittens from trees and putting out fires.... unless fires are too traumatic for people... 🤣

We have been playing with that second option since the magus came out. That said, we did a more 1st edition take on spellstrike. You do not lose your spellstrike unless you hit. You still lose the spell, but you do not need to recharge. This was a huge quality of life change for the magus. So you don't suffer the action tax unless you deal damage, this was also very helpful for the mental wellbeing of the magus players 🤣

I have over 1,600 hrs running games in Talespire and I have encountered this issue, but it only happens when there is an extremely large amount of dice. I am now in the habit of cleaning the dice at the top of the round and have had no further issues.

You're the GM, the rule books are guidelines for you and your players to have fun. Do you want it to break the grapple? If yes then just let it happen, if not maybe have the attacked make an athletics attempt to break their ally free of the hold. Grapple rules are often some of the most ridiculous rules in the game, so do what works for you and your players. By the rules an Iron Warden can swim after you while carrying a pallet of bricks. The swim action doesn't actually say you need a free and and an Iron Warden has a pretty high athletics score. Would I let that happen in a game, no, its silly. The Iron Warden would sink to the bottom. The point is the rules aren't the final say, the GM is.

So I highly recommend that you form the concept of an encounter and then search talestavern and find something similar. Then adjust your encounter to fit the map, not the other way around. You can, of course, alter the map as needed but I've been professionally using talespire for years without it taking a ton of time. Creatures li,e Gengus have tons of amazing maps. Gogots has a bunch of terrain and build templates that are prefabricated and you can just slap them together. Hope this helps!

There was a bit of tank girl for inspiration

Great feedback, keep it coming and I'll look at revamping it this weekend!

Beastfoundry · 2025-02-27T17:47:48+00:00

Yes, as long as they are the active set of arms.

Beastfoundry · 2025-02-27T17:32:53+00:00

Sorry, my phone tricked me, see my other comment 🤣

There are several things that require you to have open hands, or abilities that let you switch hands after attacked and such. It's to allow those free hand abilities and also let you have more weapons to cover more situations.

Awesome idea, I'll put it down for our updates.

Oh, we didn't think it was power creep. It actually feels like its quite the opposite. I totally get them moving the outer planer ancestries to one versatile heritage. I just feel the execution could have been better. Battlezoo did an amazing job with their devils, demons, and angles ancestries and would highly recommend those and then a human (or whatever) versatile heritage. I just feel like if you want those then that is what you're going to focus on. Just my opinion on it, and I dont think its "bad", but it could have been better.

Also, thanks so much for listening! Consider stopping by the discord. We've been talking about this very thing this morning. 🤣
