youtu.be/cTD4JCCIM9Y Ever wanted to play a Large PC? Feeling scared by the online discourse about how they're bad? Worried your GM will make things too hard? Never fear! Large PCs are great. Quite frankly, I’d say Large PCs are MORE UPSIDE THAN DOWNSIDE!! #pathfinder2e #dnd #ttrpg

www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VtJ... Draconic Codex looks so good! I don't think I could get through all of these dragons even if I GMed once a week for the next 5 years straight. #pf2e #ttrpg #pathfinder2e #dragons

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMl2... Is Vision of Death a good spell? Does it keep up with Synesthesia? Let's get into it! #Pathfinder2E #TTRPG

Just got done playing my first level 1-20 campaign ever, in any TTRPG! I guess I’ve peaked… #pathfinder2e

youtu.be/XaQub28PnPo?... Part 3 in my series of converting #Dnd #5e characters to #pathfinder2e! I also go in-depth into how martials look and feel in both games, and the differences between the two games’ Action economy, resource systems, and level-based fantasies.

Tired of seeing people go “Knock is broken in #DnD5E and not broken in #Pathfinder2E, so utility spells suck”? Here’s a video to throw at ‘em. (There are of course nuances to this, but I ain’t getting into that in my 58 remaining characters, all that’s in the video.) youtu.be/LZLUPSRm4Wo?...

Time for some actual factual Mathfinding folks: youtu.be/0U1oZSc5aK0?... Been a while since I’ve done a deep dive into #PF2E’s math like this! #TTRPG

youtu.be/4qxeiyL6DvI?... If you’ve ever been tired of how Vancian (and pseudo-Vancian!) casting works in #Pathfinder2E or #D&D, check out Team+’s newest release: Magic+. Here’s my deep dive into their take on resourceless magic: Essence Casting.

I have amazing #ITeachPhysics and #TTRPG news to share! Adventures with Emmy (AwE), a STEM education tabletop roleplaying game, has been AWARDED FUNDING by the National Science Foundation. In AwE, mathematician and physicist Emmy Noether invites you to learn science by exploring imaginative worlds.

Here’s my #Pathfinder2E Guardian review y’all! youtu.be/4dtlZbQC1us?... This class is CRAZY good. Awesome defender, amazingly thematic Feats, and a great playstyle that’s underexplored on the martial side of things in Pathfinder. Paizo did a banger job.

#Pathfinder2E folks, make sure to hop on and catch this stream! www.youtube.com/live/Fw-ybaE... In about 1.5 hours from now (at 9 pm EST), we’ll be having a Bronze Age one shot. @akesslerrpg.bsky.social GMing, with @swingripper.bsky.social, @thrabenu.bsky.social, Time2Dice, and myself playing.

@paizo.com stop releasing good Wizard options, I don’t play enough #PF2E to keep on playing Wizards over and over again! The War Mage Class Archetype is such a banger, it’s everything I would want out of this class fantasy. youtu.be/WWbaHYW7hWQ?...

Guess what folks? Y’all’s favourite math nerd got his hands on a Battlecry! review copy! youtu.be/EsAAUwEdDdQ?... Today I’ll be talking about what’s likely gonna be my new favourite class in the game!

July 25th, Myself, @mathfinder.bsky.social, @swingripper.bsky.social, @thrabenu.bsky.social, and Time2Dice will be running a Pathfinder One-Shot in a homebrew setting showing how you can have a Bronze-Age game. Come check us out on Swingripper's Youtube Page!

Scheduling really do be the bane of every gaming table. We started playing #DrawSteel in February… We’re about to have session THREE. It’s been a third of a year!!

youtu.be/6SpEQp4XuwE?... Blaster casters part 3 is FINALLY here, and much like the Attack on Titan season finale I have literally no idea how much time things take and I’m gonna be splitting it into multiple parts and an OVA. #PF2E #TTRPG

Part 2 of the converting #D&D to #Pathfinder2E series: today we’ll look at the Cleric and the Druid. And boy do I have some OPINIONS about the Druid… youtu.be/GhlxBOWK2Ys?...

#Pathfinder2E is a jazz concert. #DrawSteel is a heavy metal one. I will not be elaborating.

I have some… very strong opinions on the #DnD #5e Druid… youtube.com/shorts/qusWE... I think #Pathfinder2E overall does a much better job filling out the nature mage fantasy.

I’m starting to recognize why Recall Knowledge (and Intelligence in general) gets so underrated in #Pathfinder2E (with Int being underrated in d20 RPGs in general). The problem is that when things go poorly because of a lack of knowledge it’s “invisible”. This is not true for other ways of 1/X

Today for something a little different than my usual. youtu.be/rvFmU6floTU?... This video is for #D&D #5E and #5.5E players, helping you convert your characters to #Pathfinder2E. Hope you enjoy it!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPt4... Who wants to watch me make a very flimsy connection between #MagicTheGathering and #Pathfinder2E for 2 minutes before ranting about PF2E tactics for an hour???

youtu.be/Te2Mf847Xnc?... Becoming a real teacher is too much work, so lemme just grade some #pathfinder2e casters instead.

Poll number 2 before the blaster evaluations video: youtube.com/post/Ugkx26J... Who do you think is the LEAST good blaster of the 11 I evaluated? To be 100% clear, none of them are bad blasters. I didn’t evaluate a Maestro Bard’s, all 11 builds were capable blasters. Which is least good?

Ooooooh this is a good one. youtu.be/YiVMotbfnrU?... Here’s my favourite. The big thing is how the show makes GOOD use of the mage (Sypha), showing off her creativity as both a solo fighter and a supportive character. Felt very much like a #pathfinder2e fight to me.

Who do you think is the best blaster caster in #pathfinder2e? Answer at my poll below, or respond to this thread! youtube.com/post/UgkxoIe...

Probably the cauthooj 2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.asp... This thing’s Reaction is a menace. It punishes parties for being too reliant on melee AND punishes parties that like Reaction spam all at once.

Hoooo boy, accidentally made a video that was gonna be a one-off, and somehow it’s gonna be a 3-parter. youtu.be/Y0_XF1rXE8o?...

Had my first solo boss fight in #DrawSteel yesterday! It was enjoyable, but I think I can confidently say I still prefer #Pathfinder2E boss fights. With the obvious big caveat that the former game is still in playtest and changing!

Breakout Con is finally here! I’ve fully booked up this weekend with back to back bookings lol. Come say hi if you’re around!

Spellcaster MYTHS: youtu.be/CwjyCo4Hjko?... Where we talk about why assuming enemies will succeed their Saves actually leads to you misevaluating spells!

In today’s video (youtu.be/WUeRHk42qgw?...) we talk about how to prepare spells without running into the pitfalls of preparing spells poorly. #pathfinder2e #ttrpg

About to play my first session of #DrawSteel in roughly two hours folks! I don’t think I’ve been this excited looking at a new TTRPG since I first looked at PF2E 2 years ago.

The #D&D 5.5E Forgotten UA has a few cool subclasses but MAN it’s making me wish they’d actually gone through with their idea of “multiple classes can pick this subclass” from the Strixhaven UA. It’s so upsetting that only Fighters can be Purple Dragon Knights or only Paladins can have 1/2

The other day in @paizo.com’s Curtain Call AP, we were tryna convince an NPC to join us for the opera, and the person had terrible impostor syndrome and wouldn’t join because they thought they weren’t worthy of working with the director. My character tried to logic it out for them and point 1/2

Sometimes I wish life were simple enough that you could just go down to the local town bar, the bartender would tell you about the local turbogoblin raid or something, you and some friends could save the day, and then you’d be financially secure for the next two years. #pathfinder2e

I taught an afterschool middle-school class Pathfinder and D&D for 7 years, and I have yet to make a video saying overall what Pathfinder 2e is. So here's my long-overdue summary for the complete newcomer (or to someone who's checking it out): #pathfinder2e youtu.be/2kD_myoY5P4

youtu.be/DY6z9Hzargk?... My “fundamentals” video from right near the beginning of my channel just became my first video to break the 5k views mark. When I started the channel I just figured I was a dude rambling, wasn’t expecting this sorta reception at all. Thanks a ton everyone!

youtu.be/U_ge_b1k_XI?... Today, we talk about a variety of complaints about Recall Knowledge, how much validity those complaints have, and what GMs and players can do about them.

I just learned that apparently the D&D 5.5E DMG and Monster Manual have completely removed monster creation guidelines and are telling GMs to just reskin their monsters instead. Why even make a Dungeon Master’s GUIDE if you will not include such crucial guidelines to help newbie DMs?

Phantasmal Calamity is very quickly becoming my favourite spell in #Pathfinder2E. Anytime you face like 5 or more foes, the ability to trade 1d6 damage lower than a Fireball to carry a small chance of fully taking an enemy out of combat is INSANE.

Mine is that a LOT of players who think combat is unfun and boring and unengaging, and feel that it grinds the narrative to a halt, would feel differently if 5E’s combat wasn’t their primary reference. The game makes combat feel like a mediocre obstacle rather than a fun part of the story.

My two #pathfinder2e games resume tomorrow and day after, my #D&D 5.5E game resumes at the end of January, and I think a #DrawSteel game happens in February. We are so back.

One of the subtlest consequences of Pathfinder sticking to Vancian (and pseudo-Vancian) spellcasting while trying to make a balanced game is that… spells aren’t balanced against one another, and I think they aren’t even meant to be. SpellCASTERS are balanced against one another (and the rest 1/X

My immediate reaction when someone complains to me about #DnD 5E.

I think a lot of folks coming in from 5E/5.5E have a lot of trouble with this due to the “bounded accuracy” math of the former game. #Pathfinder2E isn’t meant to be like that at all! Yes, if your Wizard has Trained Athletics and +0 Str, they’ll still eventually reach a level that they’ll be able 1/X

- First two TTRPGs I played were D&D 5E and City of Mist. - City of Mist never really hit the spot for me. 5E (and 5.5E) I played for probably 1000-2000 hours, but over time my problems with it inflated. I’ve happily moved on to Pathfinder 2E. I still have one 5.5E game, but it’ll be my last.

Just finished up the Winter Mathness stream and I have… thoughts on how Mythic impacts #pathfinder2e casters. Guess I have a good topic for a first video in the new year!

The #DnD 5.5E Artificer playtest coming out so soon after the #Pathfinder2E Runesmith playtest is making me extremely grateful for the way Paizo designs class fantasies. For example, the Artificer in D&D (both the old version and the UA one) just kinda hand waves their magical effects as being 1/X

It also can be hard because the 5E community is SO MUCH larger than the communities of other games. When the OGL exodus happened (of which I was a part of), it was a tiny blip for the size of the 5E community, but to the Pathfinder community it was an overwhelmingly large number of players 1/3
