I can't believe they spelled his name right for once.

Pathbuilder doesn't enforce most restrictions. It doesn't know what your GM is being flexible about, and it doesn't want to get in the way of how people play the game at their tables.

Oh good! Does this mean the government's also going to protect my stock portfolio and guarantee those investments always succeed, too? Because if so, I should start having a stock portfolio!

If it's still 9 months away, there's no real reason to announce it publicly before the Christmas season. The fact that the original Switch's sales are flagging is not a reason to announce, since it's not launching in time for the holidays. Its announcement isn't going to spurr Switch 1 sales.

When it's announces will be entirely deoendent on when retailers need to know launch details. Once it's outside of Nintendo, they'll have to announce things publicly or risk losing control over the narrative.

Weirdly enough, language largelt evolves independently from other species.

That's so sad. The people who have tried to move to making Pathfinder content got bludgeoned back to preaching the one true way of D&D by YouTube's recommendation engine, too, meaning that there's very little high production value PF2 content.

I can recommend Mortals & Portals, as an actual play.

And 4 first party monster books with so many dragons.

What it's really lacking is dungeons.

Creepy is almost too specific. Too harsh. It's too "out of line". People are surprisingly sensitive to that kind of thing.

But "weird"... Weird is fuzzy enough to get away with. It's non-specific. It's the sideways head-nod or glance to "creepy's" direct finger point. People know you mean they give you the "ick" when you say it, because it comes with the body language that communicates that, vs that which communicates "quirky".

"Weird and unsettling" is an accurate phrase to describe these people, and I don't see much overlap with how people talk about me at all. And they've been calling me weird for 35 years or more now.

It's entirely campaign dependent. If you're in a campaign where the challenges are overwhelmingly PL-1 or greater enemies on standard flat, dry surfaces, there's no reason to play with niche gear.

But the rule books are big toolboxes, meant to provide the tools necessary to run any kind of campaign you want. One that involves hanging out on a lot of ledges? Squeezing through narrow passageways? Dealing with geographical Hazards during combat (note to self: run more combats on ice)? Fleeing from enemies regularly? Then yeah, having that extra DEX on your skill rolls might be more valuable to you.

"The government needs to stop people from doing a capitalism, but it had better not stop anyone from doing a capitalism, that would be tyranny."

"We increased supply! That makes prices go up, right?"

They try to convince us that Jeremy Renner is funny, and we fall back!
