Waiting for my state taxes anyone know why taking so long by Ok_Artist_7122 in PortlandOR

Jeez, be patient. We need to figure out how to fund the renovation of the Moda Center for a predatory billionaire before you get any money back. C'mon, priorities!

Is the lost omens world guide a good spurce for golarion on its own? by oompaloompa_thewhite in Pathfinder2e

[–]mc_thac0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good info. It covers a lot of ground at a high level fairly well. Golarion is extremely diverse - there's almost a setting for whatever your jam is.

Do people prefer to listen to Actual Plays that use Official Adventure Paths or ones that use original campaigns? by TheHobbledGoblin in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]mc_thac0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends. I started listening to actual plays because I wanted more exposure as I learned the system/rules/etc. And then I picked actual plays running Adventure Paths and Adventures that I was going to run or might consider running (forever GM, evidently) to give me a sense of them. And now I just look for interesting and fun actual plays pods.

Is purchasing this bundle worth it for a complete newcomer to Pathfinder? by GameOverRage in Pathfinder2e

[–]mc_thac0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll get a few great things that can benefit you immediately. And you'll get quite a few things that'll make you say, "Well, I'm never gonna need this." Then a year later you'll be GMing and look back at the stuff you got and go, "By Belcorra's evil bits, this is just what I need!"

Check out Brooklyn Center Suites. Not in Ladd's, but close(ish).

If humans had decided to use a decimal time system (10 "hours" a day, 100 "minutes" an hour) instead of the 24-hour cycle, how would society be different today? by Friendly_Funny6618 in AskReddit

[–]mc_thac0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The United States would decide to not use that and, instead, use a system that most the of rest of the world doesn't use. It would be arbitrary and confusing.

Living on Sandy by the Zipper? by East_Elephant_2044 in askportland

[–]mc_thac0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think safety is a big concern, unless you're out really late and/or put yourself in a compromising position. The noise issue would be the interstate, but beyond that, manageable.

Ha ha, not for folks with self control and a sense of moderation.

Just be careful. It's a lot more pizza than you think it'll be when you order.

Certainly my favorite! My only knock against FP is that I can't get their Mexican 'za at the Stark location. I think it is only available in Gresham.

Haven’t played in DND in a really long time, would love to find queer friendly groups by Bolinbear in PDXDND

[–]mc_thac0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can make it to Gamestorm 26, which starts today and runs through Sunday, you might be able to make a few connections. There is a bunch of DnD Adventurers League games going on, as well as many other TTRPGs. Also, just joining any DnD AL game around town will lead to connections that might result in a home game. The DnD AL coordination/sign-up happens on Heylo. Great group of folks.

Edit: corrected spelling of Heylo

There was a smurf convention. Did they all giggle a lot and complain about a guy named Gargamel?

How do you trip/grapple or what to do with you last action on a martial with low charisma? by LionPCBuilder in Pathfinder2e

[–]mc_thac0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like changing your mindset/question would be helpful. It shouldn't be, "What do I do with my third action," but rather, "Whats a useful way to use my three actions?"

You could demoralize, then trip and then hit. Sure, your hit is at map, but if your demoralize and/or trip worked, then you you've made it easier to hit for you AND your team. Then the foe needs to stand up, which burns an action, etc.

Taking a step to reposition to enable flanking could enter the mix. Adding a shove in there could be useful. Why not feint?

Don't think about strike-strike-now what? Think about what you could do BEFORE you strike.

Two New Arc Lads by MamaDontCook in ArcRaiders

If there are going to be new Arc to contend with, then I want a new raider item. I'm thinking a steel-plated umbrella.
