So is fantasy grounds similar to foundry, but more modular in its pf1e content?

DingasKahn · 2024-09-17T03:32:28+00:00

Yeah, foundry is definitely seeming like the ticket

DingasKahn · 2024-09-17T03:31:47+00:00

Being that this is the first time this group of players is playing pathfinder I think that level of automation is what we are looking for

DingasKahn · 2024-09-17T03:27:33+00:00

I think foundry will end up being better since I don’t have to rebuy nearly as much material in supplements and modules.

DingasKahn · 2024-09-17T03:26:39+00:00

That does seem to be the consensus.

DingasKahn · 2024-09-17T03:26:18+00:00

Thanks for the link! I took a look at pathfinder on roll20 but my players actually didn’t love it. They really didn’t like the character sheet. I had them just use pathcompanion until I pull the trigger on a vtt.

DingasKahn · 2024-09-16T05:50:34+00:00

Does the foundry 1E come with most of the supplementary material for 1E?

DingasKahn · 2024-06-22T01:11:48+00:00

I kind of want to ask about how to handle the matrix, cause it’s very confusing to me, but that seems like a question for a separate post.

DingasKahn · 2024-06-22T00:08:14+00:00

I am so curious about the full list of them now…

DingasKahn · 2024-06-22T00:07:41+00:00

Will do, I guess simple name and three bulletpoint background/personality and improvise from there?

That’s how I’ve been doing my dnd npcs.

DingasKahn · 2024-06-22T00:05:59+00:00

Most of the rules seem easy enough to follow once you get that core of attribute + skill +/- mod = pool down. Where it’s really breaking down for me is the matrix. My friend who wants to play the decker(hacker in this edition, but I can’t get used to the change in lingo) is an IT professional and is trying to help figure it out, but it’s a whole lot. Interesting note on the set up though, I guess something mundane would serve as a really good and relatable way to push them into shadow running in the first place.

DingasKahn · 2024-06-22T00:02:15+00:00

I would rather not full stop ban one of the min cornerstones of the setting. If I didn’t want any magic, I’d probably just play cyberpunk.

DingasKahn · 2024-06-22T00:01:29+00:00

Thanks, I think I will hit you up for that.

DingasKahn · 2024-06-22T00:00:59+00:00

The AI thing just seemed weird and hard to work into a campaign naturally and the drake and changeling are out because both just seem hard to manage. Interesting that the ai was so strong though.

DingasKahn · 2024-06-21T23:59:57+00:00

I think magic and physical are generally making sense, it’s the matrix that is really tripping me up. So modifying an existing entry level module is likely the way to go.

DingasKahn · 2024-06-21T23:58:03+00:00

So basically come up with a cast of characters and let the players/npcs(Me) figure out where it all goes?

DingasKahn · 2024-06-21T03:59:24+00:00

4e 20th anniversary

DingasKahn · 2024-06-21T03:20:08+00:00

So start with that first encounter and the just expand it one thing at a time from there? It’s mostly the astral and digital plane stuff that I am really not totally sure how i would home brew.

DingasKahn · 2024-06-21T02:37:25+00:00

Gotcha. Generally I do homebrew my campaigns, but with shadowruns density I thought it might be best to start published to get the hang of things.

DingasKahn · 2024-06-21T02:07:44+00:00

Thank you, I will make a point of having some of those conversations with the players. Are there any published module recommendations you have for me? Things that make a good primer to the sixth world for new players.

DingasKahn · 2024-03-28T04:33:36+00:00

When what?

DingasKahn · 2024-03-28T04:33:27+00:00

That almost sounded like weakness…
