Yeah they have announced it for "later this year" - it will include Bestiary 1,2,3 and blanks to make your own. And they have a nice 3d look

Weird Uncle Dave posted:Why does Organized Play feel like it's so hostile to new players? I'm just looking for a local game, but their own event list is very thin and basically impossible to search by geography. Or they recommend several other web sites, none of which are much better in either regard. The entire system is hampered by the fact that the Organized Play website, just like the rest of Paizo's website, is dogshit garbage. It's an absolute abomination and makes it twice as hard to even know what the rules are, let alone create and manage characters. I keep a Herolab subscription just for my PFS characters just so I can know what's permitted and make system-legal characters (the PFS checkbox in a Herolab character will show you anything you selected that's not allowed). A simple rule of thumb to create your first PFS legal character is just make someone that uses no feats/ancestries/backgrounds/spells/items/etc that have the Uncommon or Rare trait. For finding games, you might consider playing a bit online if you have trouble finding local games (be sure to check your FLGS if you do want local games - they can usually put you in touch with the local lodge if there is one). For online play check Warhorn: https://warhorn.net/games/search?c=64 Like any other group of geeks, PFS is full of people who are happy to have you and will help you get started. The officers are awesome and helpful on discord and in-game so try out a few online sessions and see if you mesh with one of the lodges.

Starfinder really is fun. Just the fact that Ysoki (ratfolk) can hold bag of holding levels of poo poo in their cheek pouches or Kasatha (four armed race) can actually hold/wield 4 things had me hooked early. If it was based fully on Pathfinder 2e and not kind of a 1.5e type of system it would really be perfect

Yes, they are as low as item level 3, are nearly all common meaning they can be found in most towns/cities, and are affordable all throughout a campaign. Staff of Fire is only 60gp

Boba Pearl posted:My memory is fuzzy, but it has a pretty good character creator as well or something? Do you think I could run it like DND Beyond at the table, where they set up a character and it tells them what dice to roll? (I already have a webhost.) Building a character in Foundry is quick and easy, just drag and drop your ABC (ancestry, background, class) and a guided window helps you do ability scores, then drag and drop feats/spells. A lot of players do their planning in Pathbuilder then keep their actual sheet in Foundry (which you can export to a json to move between worlds/servers)

I'd recommend the official Beginner Box module (https://paizo.com/products/btq02eap?Pathfinder-Beginner-Box-Bundle) which makes it super easy to just start running a game for new players with no prep, and the journals cover tons of stuff about PF2e in Foundry and how to use it.

Cool Dad posted:I've been playing a level 6 cloistered cleric in an Agents of Edgewatch game and I'm feeling kind of underwhelmed. The other two player characters are a barbarian and a fighter, so I'm magic support guy. The thing is in combat, I don't feel like the spells I'm using are particularly useful. Magic Weapon was great but now everyone has striking runes. I feel like most of my combat spells bounce off everything we fight, and my support spells are either highly situational or kind of insignificant. My heals are amazing, but casting one useful spell once every combat or two is kind of dull. What cleric spells should I be looking at if I want to be generally effective in combat, either through direct attacks and debuffs or through buffing and enhancing the party? Are there some feats or something I'm overlooking? Cast Down is a solid way to make your amazing heals more fun against undead, especially if you have anyone with opp attacks (Barb and Fighter?). Radiant Infusion also is a cool way to make your heals even better. You could consider Champion dedication if you want to get in the thick of things, or Wizard/Witch dedication to cast better vs.save spells, or maybe Alchemist dedication to have some buffs that come from items freeing up combat actions, and possibly throw some bombs if you start by giving yourself a Quicksilver e: Sorcerer dedication may be fun too, like Imperial or Elemental e2: With only 3 players you should convince your GM to give your campaign the free archetype variant

queeb posted:its my wife so if she's not having fun we'll have to go back to 5e or something, happy wife happy life, haha. But yeah our martals were like, fuckin pirouetting around for panache and stabbing for huge damage, wallrunning and jumping over stuff, and our barbarian went fury instinct and took the 2 action double move/attack feat and was zipping all over the place while raging to smack guys down, both also going for trips and intimidates and just having a blast. So A+ on how good martials feel. As other have said, encourage her to stick with it until 3+, or possibly let her rebuild a spontaneous caster. Also ensure she is getting a wand or stave at level 2 and frequently beyond that. Before she knows it she will be dropping 300 point chain lightnings while the martials miss their attacks

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

Selachian posted:Tachyon Squadron, although that is an "everyone gets their own fighter" game. Paizo's Facebook person made a pretty snippy reply to a post the other day where someone was wishing for SF in the PF2e ruleset - saying something along the lines of "We have said it before, we're not making a new Starfinder; would you care to let us know what it is you want to see from the current system?" so I'm assuming they are not interested in making a new version. But I can hope

kirtar posted:Anyone have a preferred method of cloud hosting Foundry at low cost? If you are a bit of a nerd you can definitely host for free on Oracle Cloud which blows doors on AWS t2.micro, and is still significantly faster than the Forge. The two tricks are (1) waiting until they open up resources to add new free accounts and (2) understanding Linux a little bit. My Foundry instance on Oracle Cloud hasn't incurred a fee for over 2 years and I run 2-3 games a week https://foundryvtt.wiki/en/setup/hosting/always-free-oracle

Finster Dexter posted:I have tried playing Starfinder, and I love the setting, but I can't help feeling like I've "graduated" from D&D 3.5/PF 1e style. I think there's a lot of jank with 3.x games, and sometimes jank is really fun. It's a subjective thing for me, though, and it's hard to go back to 3.x jank when I can play PF 2e or something a bit more refined. My AWS bill was pushing $15 and the Oracle Cloud vm just blows it away performance wise in addition to being free or at most about $2/month if you create and store a backup copy of your storage or something. I still use an S3 bucket for a lot of Foundry stuff but the bill is usually 1-2 cents a month

We only really use crafting for the alchemist to learn how to craft awesome poo poo like dragon's breath potions, for someone to fix a shield, or to affix store bought runes, etc. Although if there's an overland/over water trip of 4+ days the party usually crafts some common consumables to have around. I just charge them a discounted amount in gold instead of requiring they have specific materials. I didn't know about the Battlezoo book having new crafting rules, I thought it was just a bestiary. Definitely need to check it out now.

Disclaimers - this probably has a few things I don't need because it's a nearly 3 year old game of AoA, also I'm still on V10 because I haven't really found a reason to move to 11 yet, and there are several modules that work fine despite having compatibility warnings (GM screen being the most notable)

Proven posted:I think the proper answer for most D&D-likes is supposed to be for the Barbarian to pack a few strength-based throwing weapons, whether they be axes or javelins, and especially at early levels. For PF2E at higher levels, you recycle leftover loot to keep the throwing weapons semi-relevant, or you invest in magic items for mobility and range, like the Extending Rune (https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=1055). The extending rune is hilarious and should definitely be taken more often. The idea of a go go gadget spring loaded weapon stabbing some critter from 60 feet away is too good to pass up for most martials
