Except they are? They've helped empower the right and created a feedback loop where they absorb all their crazy crap from far-right media, spit it back out, and become big on places like Youtube and other sites. People like Glen Beck, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Yiannopoulos, Shapiro, th...

Honestly it spreads to a lot of threads. I've started posting there again, and my credibility is shot if anyone there spots me here, but eh, it's the Paizo forums. I can't think of many platforms I care less about my reputation on. I really don't get the narrative traps argument that got peddled eit...

There's currently a thread on the Paizo boards called Why are hazards so damn powerful?! I'd link it but I'm pretty sure we aren't supposed to anymore, but I will see if you want a good laugh about how the RPG industry still hasn't made traps work at all in a way that feels fair, balanced, or even h...

I don't think it's anything to get really upset about. Skinwalker is an actual mythological creature, you can definitely make an argument that it's been culturally appropriated from native american tribes (Navajo specifically) as a monster of the week style creature for all kinds of media, so Paizo ...

I'm not certain on letting Hand Razors give bonus skill dice, not because I don't like the idea but mostly because I see having issues selling it to applicants. Now, I am adjusting Dual-wielding, and part of that is going to be making Hand Razors take no penalty for dual wielding them. A Cool stat w...

I suppose at this point I can A). Try to improve melee combat to make Strength matter more than it normally does. Decreasing Melee attacks actions from Complex to Simple is one thing I am going to do for certain, and I'm thinking of making dual-wielding smaller weapons and especially handrazors have...

I mean, I do kind of want people to go full robocop if they want? I'm setting the game in Miami in 2074, so Pink Mohawk is the playstyle that is likely going to result, so I want there to be a mechanical reason to take some of the more pink mohawk style equipment and character options. So things lik...

Oh yeah Hand Razors are also crap...and should probably be fixed for the game as well. A quarter of an essence for what's essentially a knife in your hand...I would have expected something like the ability to put toxin injectors or something on there I mean, if a mid-tier Batman villain can do it wi...

Fair enough on a lot of cyberware being under-powered for their cost. I'm focusing on cyberware because as a first time GM for the game I'm afraid of too many knock-on effects from making houserules, and just inexperience. I was going to change Melee to a simple instead of complex action but I'm sti...

Fixing Cyberlimbs
So, one thing I've seen repeated across a lot of Frank's and others talking about Cyberlimbs, is that in 4th edition they suck, and how Frank tried to fix them but SR devs wouldn't let him. A lot. Reading their entries, I very much agree with them, and am curious as to what people think is the best ...

Bit of a late news spoiler, but according to people with early copies of the GameMastery Guide, Gestalt is now a legal thing you can do in Pathfinder 2e, and the book says that to adjust encounter difficulty for it the most you might need to do is bump the level up by 1, and only if your group is ha...

Not to mention Ares claiming that Damien Knight is both possessed by a Bug Spirit and dead, although there are plenty of hints to him not actually being dead. It's theorized the mysterious EMPs was the Corporate Corp punishing UCAS via Nukes to shut down their tech. Like Trill said a third of the UC...

So, one of the new fluff books for Shadowrun has dropped, and they've essentially fucked over the entire UCAS as a setting. Some key points -Ares' experiments with bug spirits ended poorly, surprising no one and now there's a new breed of insect spirits wandering around attacking people. -The UCAS h...

Ah, I thought all or at least a decent chunk of the traditions that were in SR 5 had at least more differentiation instead of just Voodoo, Hermetic, and Shamanic. I'm personally trying to add some degree of difference to each mostly to balance out Forbidden Arcana, the last SR 5 magic supplement tha...

Factually, SR4 came with a giant flame war that dragged on for about a year. Grognards were upset about variable target numbers, upset about samey magical traditions, upset about wireless internet. The editionwar was big and nearly tore dumpshock in half. -Username17 Taking this here from PF 2E, bu...
