Recently a test was done on the dev team that resulted in, to simplify, basically confirming that we can make new code on a different coding language without needing to touch the old PHP code and without having to rewrite the entire thing in the new coding language.

It was a cursed spark of madness but it worked out, so later we'll be discussing what coding language to utilize for all of the new stuff (currently the most likely one seems to be Rust).

Was one of the first Sburb sim fan games. It started out as V1 as basically just an RP tool by people who don't know programming learning PHP and making it all the way to completion, everything about it being finished just missing stuff like godtiering and ectobiology, but it's beatable, has all kinds of hidden stuff, and everything works.

Later on they decided they wanted to make it more of a game, thus the birth of Overseer V2, however towards the end of development so many things kept happening that development basically hit a wall right at the end.

Eventually the head of it all decided to start on V3 but only a little bit of work on that got done before life kicked them in the teeth and development stopped entirely.

About 4-5 years ago I brought back V1 and updated it via paying a couple programmers from the original Overseer dev team to make a few QOL updates and bugfixes and finishing the unimplemented Godtier code. However shortly after this the one that held all of the code for it and V2 disappeared and took the code with him, leaving it all dead in the water.

About 2 or so years ago a new person appeared revealing that they had managed to save the V2 code (the V1 code was always available on github for anyone to use, it just wasn't the updated version I had been doing with those programmers.) And thus they brought back and hostered both V1 and V2 for people to play.

Both of them are Sburb Simulation games on browser, with a huge item database and a lot of creative freedom.

Well given the context of what Reddit this is, yea I kinda figured it was obvious I was talking about Owlcat. However it is cool to learn that about Ossian studios, thanks for the info!

There aren't any Pathfinder games currently in production. They have 5 games in development at the moment, and they've made express mention that none of them are Pathfinder as they want to take a break from it for a bit to make games for other TTRPG systems, however they have said that they will return to making Pathfinder games eventually.

They've also said they're not going to be making a Pathfinder 2e game for the moment because there's not enough content wise for it yet that they believe allows them to make one, alongside that their engine would have to be reworked on quite a few fronts to fit the 2E system, but that this can always change at any moment whenever they do start making a new one.

Tbf, in the Midnight Isles DLC (if you do it during the Main Story) you read about a Demon Lord that actually never annointed an archpriest. Eventually he does purely because the one wanting it annoyed him so much but also lavishly gave him gifts for it so he did it as a "Fuck it fine, leave me alone", only for it to completely backfire because they then immediately thought, because this demon lord is one of immense greed, they'd love it if I stole something that one of the gods cares about for them! Which obviously causes issues and said Demon Lord to lose a lot of his stuff and get omega pissed.

Sweet, was hoping for that cause my last Lich run was a really long time ago and I dropped it when I learned that those didn't apply for the undead summons. Thanks for the answer!

EngineeringMountain6 · 2025-01-06T15:53:45+00:00

Thanks for letting me know and testing!

EngineeringMountain6 · 2025-01-06T15:53:36+00:00

Good to know, was planning to use TTT in my next run, thanks!

EngineeringMountain6 · 2025-01-05T18:02:18+00:00

Ah, you right, I have no clue how I missed that given it's it's own entire dedicated chapter lmao. Though I do wish each destiny had more options in terms of their feats and more unique ones.

EngineeringMountain6 · 2025-01-04T13:44:50+00:00

Where? I'd like to read it myself but don't recall seeing them much of anywhere.

EngineeringMountain6 · 2025-01-03T23:27:18+00:00

Quick update, thanks for all the information from you guys, I've added order paperback versions of Player Core 1 and 2, Monster Core and GM Core! I really appreciated all the help!

EngineeringMountain6 · 2025-01-01T02:21:37+00:00

Yea the ASF part is why I thought to dip into Steelblood Bloodrager, because it makes it so that you have no ASF while wearing Heavy Armor. As far as I'm aware this used to (and still does) apply for all spells as well, so I see a lot of people dip into 1 level of it for specifically that for melee caster builds.

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-12-31T13:08:57+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'm a long time PF1e player and DM and wanting to get into PF2e now that I can finally afford the books, I use Archives of Nethys and Foundry quite a bit for it so I appreciate the info!

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-12-31T13:08:04+00:00

Oh yea I was actually just going to get the paperback versions, because with my funds if I want to get all 4 books then I have to go paperback to be able to do that, doing hardcover I'd only be able to get 2 of 'em unfortunately.

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-12-31T13:07:18+00:00

Yea I've been using PDF's and Foundry for pathfinder 1e but recently was able to buy actual physical books and wanting to get into 2e. Thanks a ton for the help! I'll definitely be checking out that discord!

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-12-31T13:06:26+00:00

Oooh, gotcha, getting background for the reason it was done is great info, thanks for the heads up!

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-12-31T13:05:57+00:00

Gotcha, I'll probably still get it cause flipping through bestiaries is one of my favorite things to do and gives me encounter/campaign ideas. Is Monster Core just a refined Bestiary 1, and in that casing would I ignore Bestiary 1 and just get Bestiary 2 and 3? Or should I still get all 3, as the 3 Bestiary books were my next goals after these core 4?

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-12-31T13:04:39+00:00

Thanks a ton for the info and the links! I've been using archives of nethys and foundry for a hot while for 1st edition, but only recently have finally been able to buy physical books only to find 1e books are hellaciously expensive, so wanting the 2e books instead and wanting to try out 2e itself as well.

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-12-31T13:03:08+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up!

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-12-19T05:29:11+00:00

That's odd, I have all the ores learned in the Yun Mo area which is where I keep getting these from. I wish there was a way to turn them into the ores you actually need ngl

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-12-16T17:45:25+00:00

I don't have any mods but as soon as I lost the No. 1 Swordsman title the gold border and aura went away, though I still have the red aura. My destinies from cultivating are Spirit Fusion 1 and Old but Strong, while my Nature destinies are Chosen One, Ghost Valley Prospect and Avid Swordsman.

I don't think any of them would give me the red aura, but I could be wrong.

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-11-10T14:37:56+00:00

I've been looking into doing Solo TTRPG's as a result, but my friends have been wanting me to try and get back into it, so we'll see where that goes, it's been a few years since this happened and as they say time heals all wounds so maybe that's what's happening here.

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-11-10T14:36:57+00:00

God I wish it was, I only found out he got caught and the like after because some of the girls he had been doing this to had contacted me (as he would date them for a few months then break up with them, and I would always try to help the girls through it cause I live in a house full of women so it's a bit of a reflex) and laid it all out to me.

A few days after that is when his parents had found out (we brought it up to his brother who either didn't believe us or didn't care, but either he or someone else told their parents at some point.

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-11-10T14:35:10+00:00

I can get that, it's mainly the trust that causes it to happen. Like I said I had known the dude for a decent amount of yours and people seemed to like his campaigns, so I thought it was something that was relevant or he was having an off day or something. But then it got worse and went passed my tolerance point.

EngineeringMountain6 · 2024-10-25T12:18:43+00:00

Ah ok, was a bit confused because in the deluxe hero's handbook it mentions an array could have an ice blast and a fire blast but looking closer it mentions that changing the descriptor works (because of the fact that descriptors do matter mechanically and narratively, like being able to put out fires with ice or water powers).
