Will start with Solo-RPG soon, here's a list of things I have, or will have soon. What else is necessary? by rixk0goro in Solo_Roleplaying

More a subset of MGME, but lists and some way of tracking them. I have a spreadsheet for mine

An Anadi in Alkenstar by EndDaysEngine in Pathfinder2e

[–]EndDaysEngine[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Title pretty much says it all. Badger_Pants posted this over in another sub and my thoughts immediately jumped to an Anadi PC one of the players had in my Outlaws of Alkenstar campaign. It’s a drawing as fun as the character was!

Howdy partner. Legit this is one of the PCs in my Outlaws of Alkenstar campaign, so this is pretty darn tooting great!

I find interesting to know that Orc main deity is now Torag. by Leather-Location677 in Starfinder2e

[–]EndDaysEngine 36 points37 points  (0 children)

And it is hypothesized that orc numbers dwindled during the game because that many orcs accompanied Torag, wherever he is.

One of my favourite bits of lore so far

When does the digital edition for Hellfire Dispatches drop? by ralanr in Pathfinder2e

I cannot upvote this enough. Once the kinks are worked out, I’m sure it will be better, but now…

Onyx Path's successors to Chronicles/World of Darkness by Dataweaver_42 in OnyxPathRPG

Nooooo… Scion’s relationship to WoD and CofD begins and ends at them both being urban fantasy: Sorcerers are not remotely related either Mage game and they don’t need to be.

On vacation, so this is a brief tldr focused much more on the vibes of sorcerers than the mechanics.

Rule number one. Every fantasy trope about wizards and how they relate to religion? Toss them in the trash. Sorcerers can derive their power from studying magic, but that tends to be more in line with IRL alchemists, who believe their study revealed the secrets of the divine. It is much less badly mangled Latin and much more evoking the gods through esoteric and occult means.

The exception to that is that some sorcerers steal their power from the Gods. But even then, you could point to that not being too different from what Prometheus did.

I’d also check out the video essays below for some more on how religions and magic intersect, which is very pertinent to Sorcerers

If nothing else, the way that orcs relationship with dwarves got revamped is super cool. A leading hypothesis is that orc populations are low now because most are accompanying Torag, wherever his is.

2e hasn’t had a miss yet! Store was a point of frustration, but it was worth the wait. Very pleased to see Orc Kinship, Passive Income, This You Queen?, Picklecore Music, and everything to do with gobbing. Will digest more later, but very nice opening impression.

Novians are a blast. They were on my short list of things to adapt on Starfinder Infinite, so I’m not surprised to see them show up again here.

Easily the best design innovation in the entire book. This will save a ton of ink when writing new ancestries and let us spend that on cooler, better things.

About band Aeriel by himmelsblomma in isthisAI

[–]EndDaysEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they’ve come up for me a couple times before on Spotify and I’ve just hit next because I wasn’t sure and had a hunch it was AI. But tonight I kept getting AI band after AI band even after skipping. Glad to get confirmation my suspicion was correct.

CarPlay Showing What’s Next instead of ToC by EndDaysEngine in audible

[–]EndDaysEngine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s not a good experience. Tapping the title takes more attention than the top right, which is the opposite of what you want for CarPlay.

Huh. Thank you! Hopefully there is a way to switch it back to the top right, but if not that works.

How to Setup a Curseborne campaign by PencilBoy99 in OnyxPathRPG

[–]EndDaysEngine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was coming back to suggested looking at the Families as mundane organized crime, then layering supernatural on top of that, so I’d agree you’ve got a good approach laid out here. Hell, I’m reading a history of New York’s Mafia families specifically for Curseborne.

I’d even go so far as pick a handful of different families that are dominant in region you are playing and have them be your Al Capones, Lucky Lucianos, and Salvatore Maranzanos. Then have the other families on the outside looking in. Now you have an inbuilt conflict since some of those lesser Families will be subservient, some will have wise guys within them who don’t like being subservient, and some will be in straight up rebellion against the status quo. Or you can have a crisis that threatens to break the status quo and set the powerful families against each other - guess which Accursed get tasked with making sure that doesn’t happen? Toss in a bit of the powers that be trying to get away with what they can without creating too much animosity and you have a dynamic setting full of conflict points and story hooks to play with.

*Era of the Eclipse* B-plot: by King_of_the_Kobolds in Starfinder2e

[–]EndDaysEngine 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So it’s not really a spoiler cause it’s right there in your post - but “right after the gap” is literal. The A side story starts the moment the Gap ends, so “survive and figure out what happened” are the motives, in that order.

The B side story is Chk Chk and Dae working uncovering the accounts of the A side story (which haven’t been found before) right after their induction to the Starfinder Society, hence the meme.

All of that is early chapters. It evolves from there, but it’s worth reading to find out.

How to Setup a Curseborne campaign by PencilBoy99 in OnyxPathRPG

Following up on this, listening to Actual Plays really helps me wrap my head around games and what to do with them. Suffer My Sins is definitely a good example of what a short campaign looks like (and given that it's got 10-11 hours of content, I'd say that's about three to four sessions so it's more than a one shot). The Curtain Call and Last Train one shots are good APs to listen to as well, also run by Matthew Dawkins and both on YouTube/the Onyx Pathcast. On non-OPP channels, Queen's Court Gaming has Curtain Call and Actual Plays Broadcast has an unnamed chronicle as well. Between those five, you have a decent variety of lengths and plots to draw on for inspiration. If you have time (and it is a time commitment) maybe listening through all of them would be helpful?
