KPC_Mammon posted:What about a trash goblin? Her words, not mine. She's just tickled by the idea of being able to rummage through her pockets, pull out a crushed soda can and declaring "Behold! Your weakness!", and then it works. We know it's thematically more complex than that, but that's the image she has in her head.

I think Mammon was suggesting that the trash goblin be an actual goblin.

So when you say "Trash Goblin" do you mean a literal goblin whomst power involves trash (And Ork logic powers, from what I'm reading)?

Trash goblin is a real thing Junk Tinker posted:You can make useful tools out of even twisted or rusted scraps. When using the Crafting skill to Craft, you can make level 0 items, including weapons but not armor, out of junk. This reduces the Price to one-quarter the usual amount but always results in a shoddy item. Shoddy items normally give a penalty, but you don't take this penalty when using shoddy items you made.

I recently discovered two things: The Thaumaturge and a local pagan market. My wife and I went there and I bought a bunch of "spells" in the form of little jars of flower petals, salt, and paper and other odds and ends like crystals and adorable handknit hats that looked charming, in part because I thought they would be good thaumaturge props (and also it was fun to support my local pagans).

Do we have a Starfinder thread? I looked but didn’t find one. A friend might be DMing it and I thought I’d read up and get general advice. I’m mulling some character builds and currently ‘Dumb as bricks bro goes viral for making GBS threads his pants in public, and is now attempting to capitalize on it by live-posting his hijinks and space adventures’ or as the DM said ‘a character literally posting through it.’ Is winning.

My partner's character in the Starfinder campaign we played in pre-pandemic was a boy band member who was going to livestream his adventures while the group was on hiatus. It was supposed to be a happy funtime romp but then we all almost died and the universe almost ended and now he's an emotional mess. Our GM is a monster

Starfinder has great lore, setting, APs, everything.... and it's a good system* that iterates nicely on PF1. It feels like Pathfinder 1.5e, but after years of PF2 it's hard to step backwards into that. I'd buy the poo poo out of Starfinder 2e that uses the same rules and mechanics as Pathfinder 2e. Or even some decent conversions *except space combat which sucks

Starfinder could be a good lower-stakes testbed for developing a game from the ORC rather than the OGL.

It's just hard because if everyone doesn't have their own dogfighters you have to find a way to make a party equally enjoy being part of a crew.

Goons tend to recommend Stars Without Numbers over Starfinder but I could never tell the difference, they're both d20 systems to me.

M. Night Skymall posted:Larger weapons don't do any additional damage naturally. Giant instinct barbarians get bonus damage for wielding a larger weapon than normal when they are raging, and become clumsy 1. When you aren't raging you're still clumsy 1 and do no additional damage. You can increase your size with giant stature, and then titan stature. This just adds reach and changes your token size, and can only be used when raging. It also makes you clumsy 1, but you're already clumsy 1 from the oversized weapon and they don't stack. Admittedly the real reason to go giant instinct is to take the size feats and Giant's Lunge to have reach 20 at level 14. Get the attack of opportunity feat in there somewhere and watch half the room be vulnerable to a swing from you if they twitch the wrong way. You do wind up being -2 AC overall (1 for raging, one for clumsy) so more vulnerable to getting hit back than most instincts, though playing with your ridiculous reach might lessen that risk.

Tachyon Squadron, although that is an "everyone gets their own fighter" game. As for Starfinder 2E, I wonder if Paizo was just afraid of splitting the existing Starfinder customer base, which is naturally smaller than the Pathfinder one. Maybe they'll revisit the idea now that PF2E has proven it can stand on its own.

But I can hope

But I can hope Heh, what I'd like to see from current Starfinder is not having to learn another new rule set when I'm still trying to figure out PF2E. I ran an AP last year and thank gently caress no one in my group wanted a sneaky character because I still don't have stealth figured out. I was really interested in getting into Starfinder because I figured it'd use the same rules but nope. I have trouble keeping things straight between PF2E and dnd5e as it is, adding in a third ruleset that's slightly different to the other two killed any enthusiasm for it for me. I don't know how people who play like six different tabletop rpg games keep any of it straight.

Stealth and climbing in PF2E I find to be inordinately complicated but also it makes sense that they would be difficult, because those are difficult things to actually do.

Some dude on Reddit threw together a little Pathfinder 2e random Ancestry/Background/Class/Dedication combination generator and it’s creating some fun ideas for me. https://perchance.org/i9e96a4id2 For example one of the first results I got was a Gnoll Inventor, w/ Saboteur background and Druid dedication. Which, that dude is 10000% some kind of eco-terrorist and he probably owns.

Anyone have a preferred method of cloud hosting Foundry at low cost? Turns out I can't host locally because of how my apartment's networking is set up. I was considering seeing how putting into the oracle free tier would work, but I've also heard that can be somewhat finicky.
