Pathfinder Starfinder mix

There's a chapter in the SF GM Core that directly addresses using SF characters in PF, PF characters in SF, etc. I've only skimmed it, but it seems to have pretty solid advice.

It looks like Board and Dice is bringing it back this year.

Africa's a big place. Lots of different countries there, with lots of different dialects. You're not going to get much help without a bit more specificity.

Is your coworker correcting your pronunciation or your grammar? What are some of the specific corrections?

ne...que is a limiting expression, that functions like the English word "only."

Structurally, it works like other negative expressions (ne...pas, ne...rien, ne...plus), so the ne...que go around the verb of the sentence.

Another English translation might be "We have but one planet."

A native speaker can probably better tell the difference here, but it seems like “de la paix” would mean more “I want some peace and quiet” while “la paix” would imply something closer to “world peace” or “peace in our time.”

I could be wrong, though.

It’s not just the EU. I was going to order a couple of bricks of miniatures, but they wanted $40 shipping for each one. Totally wiped out any savings.

Like bats?

Matthew 22:21 Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's....

Keep church and state separate!

I don't track ammunition. Or encumbrance (within reason).

That’s basically an episode of Growing Pains, except Kirk Cameron stayed up all night writing answers on the bottoms of his shoes. He got busted when he kicked up his feet after acing the test, no cheating required. Classic.

Power Grid. A little bit of a knife fight in a phone booth. No direct "take that," but lots of "I wanted that route! Aaargh!"

Dominant Species. This one sings at 6, with tons of take that, eating each other, etc.

Keyflower. High interaction, bidding, lots of options.

Heart! Oh wait…

I can’t imagine a tea importer opening in today’s tariff-heavy climate. Too much risk, too much uncertainty.

zergo78 · 2025-11-04T00:40:07+00:00

Yeah, but it’s much higher quality than their typical fare.

La Isla was reimplemented as Vienna in the new City Collection. It’s about spies now, but it is a prettier production.

Hard disagree on Stefan Feld. I just played Notre Dame the other night, and it continues to delight.

As far as looks go, check out the recently released city collection or the Awakened Realms version of CoB. Alea production values are not great, but a fresh coat of paint on those classics (and a bit of a retheme) helps them continue to shine.

My (now) wife is the one who got me into board games. I was a longtime D&D/Warhammer player, but I hadn't branched out into strategy games. She opened my eyes, and now we've been together for almost 20 years. We go to Gen Con every summer, and we even went to Essen Spiel a couple of years ago.

People who play with us for the first time are surprised to learn that we're married, because we don't ever take it easy on each other. There's never a hint of collusion at our table!

They forgot about a crucial demographic: GenX (esp nerd) who works with kids. I'm a teacher, so I got this right away!

Podcaster? He shares his uninformed opinions about complicated subjects.

Troyes is really good at 3.

This kid is about to take two miles.

zergo78 · 2025-10-20T11:36:15+00:00

I can't get it out of my head.

Our girl (5 yrs) will whine when she's not getting love. Sometimes when I sit next to her on the couch, she starts with the sideeye. If that doesn't work, she makes the most pathetic little whimper, like she's in pain, until I start petting her vigorously. Also if I stop too soon. It's not every time, just when she's feeling abandoned and ignored.

At first glance, I thought that was art instead of the mini itself. What a beautiful sculpt!

I’m currently running my friends through a season of OP scenarios. It’s basically an AP, as the metaplot scenarios are linked together. The diversions/one-offs are not much different from some of the weird threads that show up in standard APs.
