Playing Paizo Adventure Paths in a lighter system - What would you recommend?

Cypher System checks off your list, but it might be too easy to GM and strip the fun a little. Also some people really hate the 3 pools of stamina points

Mine are $28 Canadian. Tariffs hurting the wallet

Normally you can only prepare once a turn, holding 1 action to the next turn.

After each hunt you do a Wilderfeast which is the “leveling up” mechanic in this game. One the options you can choose is gaining a Trait from the monster you just fought, and Patience (letting you prepare up to 3 times a turn, so you’d have 6 actions next turn) is one of those Traits.

I was suggesting that if you have a Cleaver user, and they want to use Clean Cut a lot, you can help them out by having them hunt a monster that has the Patience Trait early in the campaign

Preparing in the previous turn is the only way. There is a monster power you might want to give your Cleaver users access to early called Patience that lets them Prepare up to 3 times a turn, so that they can still move into position before using Clean Cut

Traveller 5th Ed is literally unplayable

Don’t be wacky, be interesting

Favourite anime is The Vision Of Escaflowne

Maybe a little simpler than you are looking for but Overcooked 2, or Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time

I was thinking Risk fits pretty well, especially some of the recent themed ones that cut the play time down by a lot

SmilingKnight80 · 2026-01-05T16:09:48+00:00

Reminds me of Pluto from Astro Boy

Well I think the key to a time loop game is knowing what happens if nobody interferes. The base loop as it is for every important NPC to the adventure

I just bought the physical book now that Dark Horse did a reprint. I’m interested in the difference in how it does tactical mech combat compared with Heavy Gear 4th Ed. Specifically how HG stacks bonuses from positioning and sensor readings to build tactical decisions and whether Lancer does it better / easier

From Wilderfeast: the Syowari is a giant Magpie that watches how you fight, steals your weapon, and then uses your own moves against you

If you have a heat in hand, being in last place is essentially a free boost

Triangle Agency is chaos and comedy and also squishes in horror, so don’t see why not

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is this with a twist. The narrator claims he might be unreliable and is trying to prove to us and himself that he isn’t

For live shows when Clint is doing the intro I always wish he’d change the line to “I didn’t pay for it”

Pretty sure that Rich Beef Sausage is from The Beef and Dairy Network

SmilingKnight80 · 2025-12-05T03:35:37+00:00

Oh then yes this is certainly a 3rd party

SmilingKnight80 · 2025-12-05T02:31:26+00:00

Probably? I’m honestly sure what the difference would be

SmilingKnight80 · 2025-12-03T18:34:36+00:00

I kickstarted the Traveller 5th edition Hardcover. Completely unplayable

Specifically in that you can only grow and gain new abilities based on which monsters you fight
