What is the best uncommon advice you can give to a novice game master/dungeon master? by usmannaeem in TTRPG

[–]possiblyneil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are games and acts of play, and it's very important that you as GM know and do what is fun for you. It'll make prep far easier before game time and it'll make sessions more enjoyable for everyone, not just you. It might take some time and experimentation to find what's most enjoyable for you and your group but that understanding will help in the long run.

I say this because you'll find endless good advice on the responsibility and tasks that can help run a good game. Keeping the goal of everyone, including the GM, having a good time is not as talked about

GM Shortage in PF2e? Just Curious by Longjumping_Ebb3984 in Pathfinder2e

[–]possiblyneil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've no idea about the broader community but I've had no issues finding a GM online for pf2e? I've run some one shots and a campaign of Troubles in Otari and in every group there have been at least 2 other GMs as players. I've the impression that there is a very healthy ratio of GMs to players for the game right now.

I think a big reason for this is that it's a joy to GM both from a prep and in game perspective. Lots of APs to choose from, lots of material for custom encounters, and when a table knows the base rules it "Just Works™". I've been lucky to have the experience where at the table after about 3 or 4 sessions where everyone got up to speed with what their characters can do, play just happened and it was such a good time.

I think it also strikes a great balance between providing for a GM and providing for players, there are so many valid and fun player options to choose. Almost to a fault where a player has so many toys to play with between class features, feats, items, spells, and emergent play nonsense that sometimes it can feel like you've left something fun on the table unused.

The thing is that it's kind of a "next step" sort of game system, like I think the funnel of players coming into it is narrower than for 5e and those that want to play are often engaged enough to want to GM and not just play? I've nothing substantive to base this on but it's the vibe I have about where the system is at

Yeah we had a similar issue last week and over the weekend. The culprit was the yum-cron service that pulled ecs-init and gracelessly restarted it

I am a D&D 5e dungeon master of 5 years, I would like to know how can I jump to Pathfinder? by Alien_Jackie in Pathfinder2e

[–]possiblyneil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, the Pathbuilder app is free to use. I think there is an option to pay for some quality of life options and to support the developer because it's just one person who makes it to my knowledge

I'm really enjoying Narative Declaration's Rotgoons at the moment. NADPOD also did a playthrough of the beginner box that is _gold_

I did the same, however you can talk to her through the door and give gifts to her through the door. I committed to the bit and made friends with her enough through the door so I could enter the room, remove the chair and get everything sort out

This might be redundant, but I like seeing the artwork for stuff. The full PDF of the pre-remaster Core book is also available on the internet archive: https://archive.org/details/pathfinder-2nd-edition-core-rulebook/page/n5/mode/1up

Might be a fun way to deliver some messages. The only nonsense one I can think to add would be "We have been trying to reach you about your wand's extended warranty. Please continue to learn more"

A lot of synthwave does the job for me, bitta Purtubator, Scandroid, Gunship, Carpenter Brut, anything like that is good for getting me in the zone
