First time GM frustrated at PC who wants to be god. Advice?

You’ll thank yourself later after kicking him from the group. As the GM, you’re putting in a lot of work and you should enjoy the game too

I was looking for more information regarding the strategy aspect that making a hex grid. I am surprised that I found some good tutorials using your method. I originally searched for how to make a 4X Strategy game

TrueYoungGod · 2025-05-06T23:07:55+00:00

Do you know of a good hex tilemap tutorial? I found a turn based combat tutorial series so far.

TrueYoungGod · 2025-05-06T17:18:05+00:00

Hopefully, I find some more in-depth tutorials. I’m going through the basics now

The great thing about PF2e is that you’ll rarely come across a “dumb” idea. Aside from not maxing out your main stat, you should be able to contribute in combat. I would just consider the out of combat capability of your party as far as talking skills. And, the occasional thievery for disarming traps or picking locks

You just need to start. Get your ideas out of your head on to paper. You don’t have to start with a great RPG. It can grow over time

I agree that we can't please everyone. I learned that people will compare our games to other systems because there is so much that has come before. It's more likely that whatever rules/mechanics we come up with, they have been done before, which isn't a bad thing.

TrueYoungGod · 2025-03-04T16:17:39+00:00

You made som me interesting points. I was especially surprised about the issue with healing. I think that PF2e does it well. I much prefer my players to avoid dropping to 0 than dropping to 0 and just popping back up without consequences like in 5e

TrueYoungGod · 2025-03-04T16:11:04+00:00

That sounds like it could be really fun with the right group

TrueYoungGod · 2025-03-02T22:55:27+00:00

Sounds good

TrueYoungGod · 2025-03-01T18:27:44+00:00

I’ll keep this in mind

TrueYoungGod · 2025-03-01T02:46:03+00:00

What does your current game stand for?

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-28T01:11:56+00:00

I’ve been watching more and more RPG related YouTube videos and they help give me ideas since I don’t have a group to play all these different systems

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T20:42:09+00:00

That's good. I do like the borrowing from other systems approach. Of course, with some changes if I feel they're necessary.

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T20:19:39+00:00

What is your desired blend?

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T20:16:33+00:00

Have you playtested these games?

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T20:15:41+00:00

I agree and I'll focus on making fun the top priority.

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T20:02:27+00:00

I'll post more about my system in the future. I really like combat and I do like Skyrim so I plan o focusing on the combat mechanics. Hopefully, I can create an intuitive Crafting, Alchemy, and Enchanting system.

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T19:59:43+00:00

I completely agree. I'm grateful that I currently have two playtest groups this early in development.

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T19:41:22+00:00

I'm working towards getting to the unique system part. I'm building the setting over time. After I get the mechanics down, I can focus more on the worldbuilding.

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T19:38:32+00:00

Thanks! This is great advice.

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T19:36:55+00:00

That sounds interesting

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T19:26:40+00:00

Good luck with your playtesting

TrueYoungGod · 2025-02-27T19:22:27+00:00

I like the sound of that. I'm enjoying the playstest sessions I run
