When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

On the topic of foundry and pf2e, my long time group is finally nearing the end of Runelords (after like 6 years). We are already planning switching to foundry and moving to pf2e with the strength of thousands AP.

I'm looking for a quick easy module that would be good for easing players into 2e (and also help me learn both foundry and 2e a little better as DM). Doesn't have to be free. My main goals are learning mechanics with a perspective of only knowing 1e and moving into 2e and it being short.

Congrats, I've always wanted to get through Runelords.

Thanks to the Lancer Discord, I have gotten onboard the Pathfinder 2e Train.

Actually finding players or GMs is the hard part because people just want to run 1e because "it's more traditional" or "It has more content" or "it's more in line with what an RPG should be"

I like this archetype because the gimmick is that you're incredibly good at sleeping. Also Vision of Forethought looks very good but that's beside the point.

I think finding a GM is way harder than finding a player. I've been part of the r/pathfinder2e discord for months and have applied to join numerous games as a player, but never actually being chosen because all the GMs regularly respond with something like "there were way more applicants than I expected and I can't choose everyone, sorry" because they're getting at least 50 applications to join within the first 24 hours of posting.

As a forever-GM, I've been trying to find a random online game to at least give the player side of 2e a shot and it's been a nightmare trying to find anything, yeah.

"Free rope at will" actually sounds like a pretty handy cantrip for cutting down on inventory requirements along the same lines as Light, but the rest of the viscera theme here is genuinely gross enough that I'd never take the spell. Horf.

I am playing a Forensic Medicine Investigator in Abomination Vaults. For the second level Skill Feat I'm looking at Continual Recovery or Ward Medic. Thoughts on which to take?

Continual recovery lets you get more done in an hour even if multiple people are injured. How good is your front line at protecting people in the back?

It’s basically a choice between downtime action economy and increased pace during active adventuring.

Ward Medic is unquestionably the choice if you’re expecting multiple party members to be diseased basically ever; similarly, it means you can treat a party of 4 in 20 minutes rather than 40. Continual Recovery by contrast will let you heal one person twice in 30 minutes (or even three times inside of one hour), but if you have multiple people wounded, it can take longer to get to everyone.

A lot of that choice then is going to come down to how your table decides to handwave (or not) the passage of time immediately after/between combat encounters.

The one thing that is worth noting, since it is a common misconception, is that Battle Medicine is not Treat Wounds and feats that apply specifically to the treat wounds action (such as Ward Medic and Continual Recovery) do not apply to Battle Medicine and do not affect its cooldown or action economy.

Our cleric in AV took Ward Medic because a bunch of us got diseased on the 2nd or 3rd floor. I wish he had taken Continual Recovery though because I feel like we are always in a situation where people are banged up and it hasn't been long enough since the last Treat Wounds to get treated again.

Asked the GM for some input, and they suggested Continual Recovery since we have 3 PCs out of 5 that are trained in medicine with healing kits. Sounds like CR it is!

I’m very surprised there’s any lack of PF2e GMs, it’s a very GM friendly game as long as you have a reference handy.

I do wish there were more games going on the forums. I have a bunch of things I want to try, especially with Dark Archives out now. And of course the Battlezoo Bestiary stuff, Dragon Ancestry, then the other Ancestries coming out next year and maybe the pokemon trainer like classes. Of course that stuff would not only require a game to play in, but also a DM that allows the Battlezoo stuff, much of which is written by Mark Seifer.

Some of the PFS lodges playing online via Warhorn are basically dedicated tables, and I've found several that are a lot of fun (even some goons!). You can also play a bit of PFS as a drop-in and just ask if anyone's got an AP or other dedicated table happening. I filled up my play schedule this way

Full disclosure there can also be some cringey PFS games, so it's a bit of a crapshoot
