AngelaWe had our Pathfinder 2 game on Saturday, and it was fun! This was our opening session for book 2 of our adventure path, so I thought we were going to be in for a bunch of exposition and would not see much action. Instead, we had a big encounter!We were traveling toward the town of Greengold, and when we arrived at a beach, we saw Plague Barges that were headed for shore. We had heard something about these types of boats while we were on the road (barges filled with undead), but I had no idea we would run into them so soon!We ended up fighting Shadows and a Graveknight who was mounted on an undead dragon. It was a dangerous fight and our wizard died twice. He's a very good sport about that (he's someone who thinks it makes the game more fun if someone gets knocked into the "dying" condition - he's like that when he is the DM as well). But I was able to revive him and we were eventually victorious. I had a few rough turns where things were NOT going my way (we were in an area that was hit with Entangle, and when I tried to unentangle myself I made it worse and got immobilized), but overall we did well and I got in some satisfying hits. And we sank the ships while they were still in deep water, so they could not harm the living.I like fighting the undead because as a cleric, I can hurt them while healing allies. Very convenient that the game allows that.We'll be among a lot more elves now, so the next time I level I'm going to have my character learn to speak their language - right now she only knows Dwarven and Common, and it's going to be pretty limiting. It could take a while - we JUST leveled. Maybe I can buy something that will help with translation until I can get there (like some scrolls so I can cast whatever they are calling "tongues" now?).I kind of like something I discovered over the weekend - Pathfinder has names for wands that don't match the spell name that powers the wand. The names are pretty cool. But I wish they would make it a lot more obvious or easier to cross-reference those things. It's pretty easy to guess that a Wand of Hopeless Night is "Darkness." It would make me a lot happier if it was easy to figure out that a Wand of Mental Purification was "Soothe." Or that a Wand of Purification" is "Cleanse Afflication" OR "Clear Mind" OR "Sound Body."I do like the wand names, though.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaming</a>

AngelaI played a game called Boxes that a friend gave me - it came in Humble Bundle and they didn't want it. I enjoyed it - it's very much like The Room series. Less solving puzzles and more noticing things that you can manipulate (and therefore open hidden compartments to find the doohickey you need next). It was pretty.We also played our Pathfinder 2 game on Saturday. The Husband made me a nice cheat sheet about the different types of healing my character can do. I had been meaning to make one and I just hadn't because it's more complicated than I wanted to deal with.I think he thought I was exaggerating, but when he started writing it out, the other gamers who are Really Into This Game System started contributing and he realized just how many weird little things I have to take into account when figuring out what to roll for each type of healing. I felt vindicated, and also really thankful because the card he made is helpful in keeping it all straight.We fought a Big Bad Guy this session, which was exciting. My character didn't do a lot, but that's okay - I kept everyone alive and managed to keep the Bad Guy off-balance (he had to spend an action to move every turn because of me).Also the floor was lava, which was funny but also terribly inconvenient. I was really glad I had memorized "Fly" before we got into that fight.We finally defeated The Big Bad Guy and now we have located the tomb that was the whole point of this module. We didn't actually go in and look for whatever McGuffin we're supposed to find (or maybe we're supposed to leave something there? I can't remember now). That will be next week.It was fun and also satisfying to reach the big battle in this module of the adventure path. It was a tough fight, but we figured it out. And then I healed everybody. Using my handy-dandy cheat sheet.(edited because I had "role" instead of "roll" for some reason)<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a>

AngelaSaturday we met with our regular gaming group and we returned to our Pathfinder 2 campaign. We had a moment before the game really began where the DM paid tribute to our group member who passed away (her brother). A group of ancestral spirits collected his character as the fulfillment of an ancient pact (we helped a dragon escape in the last session we played, and apparently this was the key to fulfilling that agreement). It was moving and I think it helped her to do it.I miss him and I hope if he can perceive us, he knows we miss him and we were thinking about him.I don't know if it was because of that, but we all jumped right back into our characters and had a great session.It was so much fun! I think this was probably my favorite Pathfinder 2 session that I've ever played in.We found our way into a place that was more structured, like it was an actual building instead of just a big cave. We had some really good encounters - tough but not impossible, and some puzzles we had to figure out, which I like.We had to bluff our way past some guards, which was iffy, but worked. Then we got into the complex and figured out the key to collecting the things we needed to move forward. THEN we found a set of living quarters with food that was still fresh (thanks to magic) and we totally fell for that. We helped ourselves and the ovens started moving and attacking us.One of our party got swallowed by a very hot oven, but luckily our wizard had prepared appropriate spells and our teammate did not suffocate. I broke her out of the oven just in time (the heat damage was stacking up). Then our orc witch (fighter archetype) got grabbed by the other oven. That thing critted him twice, and thanks to the way the rules work, every time he failed to escape, he took a bigger penalty on his next attempt.This time I had the perfect spell - I had Unfettered Movement prepared. I was able to use two of my actions to cast that on him, and my final action was a Heal so he was back up to about 75%. If he had taken another hit before I got there, he'd have been toast.I think the reason I liked it so much was because of the teamwork. The wizard gave people air bubbles and resistance from fire. I had a couple of nice spells but also some good hits, because I could close with the ovens thanks to the wizard's damage reduction. The witch had a couple of nicely-placed damage spells that really took a lot of the rogue ovens' hit points. Once we broke through their armor things were so much easier.We played past our normal stopping time and no one even realized. It was good to get back to the story again, and our host's new table worked pretty well for the maps. He found a mod that let him put "fog of war" on the maps we had, which I think really made it more interesting - we couldn't "look around corners" the way you sometimes can when people are drawing out maps.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a>

Admiral BademeisterHach, wie ich paranoide Spieler*innen liebe! Tipp: Lass' die Gruppe am Anfang eines Dungeons in eine heftige Falle tappen (z. B. eine mit 9d6 Feuerschaden *hust*) und amüsiere dich danach stundenlang darüber, wie sie jede Tür, jeden neuen Raum und jede Instanz des merkwürdigen, mit der Falle verbundenen Symbols argwöhnisch beäugen, großzügig umschiffen oder erstmal auf Herz und Nieren untersuchen - und dabei immer panisch auf ihre Heiltränke und Lebenspunkte schielen. 😄 <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/7D4S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#7D4S</a> <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a>

Admiral BademeisterHeute endlich <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/DivineMysteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DivineMysteries</a> beendet. Immerhin gibts mit dem Covenant "Waves of the Boundless Sea" einen halbwegs nutzbaren Ersatz für die gestrichene "Seafarer's Hope". Ansonsten sorgt die Überbevölkerung Golarions mit Göttern weiter für die Qual der Wahl: etwa 20 Entitäten hab ich gezählt, die einen aquarischen/maritimen Bezug haben. Neben dem Kern aus Gozreh, Besmara, Hanspur, Hei Feng & Obari mischen noch so viele andere in diesem Bereich mit ... Mir fehlen Ordnungsstrukturen. <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a>

Admiral BademeisterBeinahe hätten die KVB für ein <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/pnpdenied" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pnpdenied</a> gesorgt, aber dank meiner heroischen Spieler*innen konnte es heute dann doch noch mit <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/7D4S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#7D4S</a> weitergehen. Viel weiter ins Dunkle vorgedrungen sind die drei dabei zwar nicht, aber immerhin gab's ein paar erste Antworten auf Fragen, die man vorher gar nicht kannte (Recall Knowledge, yay!), man hat Milde gezeigt, eine feurige Begegnung knapp überlebt und etwas zurück an die Oberfläche gebracht, was schon dringend gesucht wurde. Abstalar freuts. <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a>

Admiral BademeisterBin jetzt fast durch mit <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/DivineMysteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DivineMysteries</a> für <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a> und ... meh. Der Band ruft wieder deutlich in Erinnerung, was für mich das Hauptproblem dieses Spiels ist: nicht die Mechanik, nicht der Fokus auf taktische Kampfsimulation, nicht das level-basierte Klassensystem - nichtmal das absurd hohe Magieniveau. Nein, es ist noch immer dieses Setting, in dem alle möglichen Dinge gleichzeitig existieren, die sich oft genug widersprechen und einen unsinnigen, inkonsistenten Metaplot ergeben. <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/pnpde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pnpde</a>

Admiral Bademeister<a href="https://rollenspiel.social/@HeyeBodo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@HeyeBodo</a> Oh, das kann & will ich beantworten! Ich würde gern <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/PirateBorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PirateBorg</a> spielen; das würde zusammenpassen wie Salz & See. Aber obwohl es online viele Borg-Fans gibt, ist das System in der Realität weniger massen-/kampagnentauglich. Also hab ich in der Schule versucht, die Grundidee mit <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Dungeonslayers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dungeonslayers</a> umzusetzen, was aber von den Regeln und vom Spielgefühl her eher schwierig wurde. Da ich aktuell viel <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a> spiele, wäre das der naheliegendste Mainstream-Kandidat für einen neuen Versuch.

Admiral BademeisterErste "echte" Session <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/7D4S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#7D4S</a>. Erstmal viel wichtige Exposition zur Geschichte der Stadt. Der allererste Encounter danach lief für die vier Held*innen viel besser als gedacht & war wohl eher eine entspannte Aufwärmübung, auch dank der neu erworbenen Runen für die Waffen. Gab dann recht fix Goblingeschnetzeltes. Ich muss aber definitiv besser preppen, besonders die zaubernden Gegner. 😄 Immerhin haben sich die Monster Core Token schon gelohnt. Will <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a> gar nicht mehr ohne Standees spielen.

AngelaWe played our Pathfinder 2 game yesterday and it was fun. We actually had some combat this time instead of just the reputation stuff. (Note: anyone writing modules needs to really think hard about that reputation crap - stop throwing in Lores that no one would have - a party of 4 or 5 will never have what is needed and that is an unnecessary bummer).Anyway! We actually came up with a plan for the first encounter and IT WORKED! We sent a couple of fireballs over, and then I sent a Divine Wrath, and after that was done we had very few opponents left to fight. We were not so lucky the next time around - we spotted the group from a distance again, but we were NOT sneaky, our damage rolls were pretty poor, and they had one guy who had some amazing luck and nearly got away from us and almost sounded the alert.I think a couple of guys did end up getting away, now that I think about it, so that will probably matter next time.Anyway, we're trying to sneak around and sow discord in these groups that the current Big Bad is pulling together to try to start a war with Our Friends. I'm not sure how we'll we're doing with that (I don't know if you can avoid the war, or if the best we can hope for is to diminish the Bad Army so the good guys can win).It was fun and I was glad our wizard got to do some strategizing. He likes that and we often just run in.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaming</a>

Admiral BademeisterEben mal in Ruhe das erste Kapitel von <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/DivineMysteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DivineMysteries</a> gelesen: eine ganz nette, aber letztlich ziemlich inhaltsleere Fiktion eines Forschungsberichts. Nur ein Punkt wird dem Leser wiederholt eingehämmert: "Götter brauchen keine Gefolgschaft, um zu existieren." Wird wohl im Setting nochmal wichtig werden. Die restlichen Kapitel mit ihrer Sammlung von Gottheiten sind spielrelevanter, zeigen aber auch wieder die wilde Mischung im Setting von <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a>. Leider kein <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/SeafarersHope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeafarersHope</a> Pantheon mehr.

Admiral BademeisterBevors jetzt ins Bett geht: Ganz viel Liebe wieder für <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/@roland" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@roland</a>, der mir diese Woche das ganz spontan bestellte HC zu <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/WindWraith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WindWraith</a> geschickt hat. Wie immer perfekt & sicher verpackt. Liebe den Begriff <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Wavecrawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wavecrawl</a> jetzt schon und will irgendwann unbedingt mal einen leiten/spielen. Nach dem OSR-Skandal dieser Woche hoffe ich grad sehr, dass es nicht von einem Problemkerl geschrieben ist. Rechts daneben liegt die ebenfalls heute eingetroffene Vorbestellung von <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/DivineMysteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DivineMysteries</a> für <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a>. <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/pnpde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pnpde</a>

Admiral BademeisterHeute gabs die erste Spielsitzung <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/7D4S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#7D4S</a>, ausnahmsweise per Discord, weil die Krankheitswelle grade wieder über uns drüber schwappt. Trotzdem hatten wir drei Stunden lang Spaß damit, unseren Weg durchs "First Adventure" zu suchen. Jetzt sind die Held*innen bereits auf Stufe 4 aufgestiegen, haben spannende Ausrüstung zusammengetragen, sich selbst, die Gruppe und die Regeln besser kennengelernt. Nun kanns nächstes Mal richtig losgehen. Dann hoffentlich aber wieder in Person am Tisch. ⚔️ <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Pathfinder2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pathfinder2</a>

Admiral Bademeister<a href="https://rollenspiel.social/@bohemiaspielkunst" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bohemiaspielkunst</a> Leider nein. Ist die dieses Jahr erschienene Box fürs Remaster. Sieht man auch daran, dass der Monsterband auf den Pawns mit "MC" für <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/MonsterCore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MonsterCore</a> bezeichnet wird.
