I don’t always like D&D but when I do I prefer the adventures. Stay salty my friends.

I mean yeah I suppose you could argue that’s similar. But not all abilities require hope in DH whereas in E33 everything costs AP. Hope feels more like something you will hoard then spend while AP is just your basic resource. It’s an interesting thought nonetheless.

Hey yall I’m looking to fill at least one or two more slots for my season of ghosts game. As of right now we have three players and it makes the games a bit inconsistent when even one person drops out. It’s probably the best AP that I’ve read. Newbies welcome!

Hey yall so a video I helped research FINALLY dropped after like a year. It’s something brand new for DnD shorts but I think it came out really well. If you want to see more stuff like this please give it a watch and share it around:

The Grick only had 3 hp left so there was still a chance with two d8s for the spell that the psychic rolled two ones. We had him roll and all held our breath as they showed up as a 12!! I decided that since I didn’t factor in that unique bonus it was ok to retcon this once. What an insane wild ride!

08.07.2025 02:42 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

The next turn the Grick brought him down and I officially declared it a TPK. We were all devastated and in shock. But as we talked about what we could have done different one of the players (who else but quasit?) pointed out the +1 buff they got from the shrine upstairs hadn’t been factored in

The players all knew the psychic couldn’t survive another round with this thing so it all came down to this last roll. It has an AC of 19 and…the psychic rolled an 18 x.x. Used a hero point…and it was even worse.

Suffice to say things were looking bad. First the Druid goes down and then the champion, leaving just the psychic to go mono-a-mono with this thing. The psychic managed to do some serious damage to the Grick until it had only 3 hp. The Grick somehow managed to miss all its attacks

Two of the players are brand new to pf2 and they just leveled up to level 2. At the beginning of the dungeon there is a level 3 Grick. This is considered a moderate encounter for their level. Problem was my players were rolling like dog water while I got three nat 19s on three separate turns

Ok I had the WILDEST session of PF2 just now. I’m running a three person adventure of Crown of the Kobold King for my Planescape players and we very nearly had a TPK

Hey yall so I’ve been approached by some folks who want me to run kingmaker in #Pathfinder2e for them. If that’s something you’re interested in (like really interested in) please repost this post so I can gauge interest. The module for kingmaker is hella expensive so I want to know if it’s worth it.

Whew that was a lot! Hope you all enjoyed though. This was a wild series of events that my players just unfortunately rolled poorly on. Let me know if you like these longer arc recaps or would prefer session by session.

in "Apocalyptic Fire" as the humans tried and failed to fight against the Vrael. He wanted to prevent that. He wished they could be friends instead of enemies but hoped their journey to the Isle of Despair would teach them some hard lessons. He claimed there would be no trial. Then left.
