Can Pathfinder 2nd edition catch up with Dungeons & Dragons on Twitch?

March 31, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

At the start of the month Paizo Publishing announced Pathfinder 2. We’ve already asked one question about the timing with “has Pathfinder 2e come too soon after Starfinder?” but there’s an equally important one. Have they left it too late? D&D has had a huge 12 months and that is partly (largely) due to streaming […]

A world in which everyone has a magical animal ally: Familiars of Terra

March 31, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The land of Tir is gorgeous but it is still rebuilding after a devastating war. It’s the setting for Angry Hampster Publishing’s Familiars of Terra RPG. The quickstart rules have been available on DriveThru RPG for free since February. I’ve read and enjoyed them. Familiars of Terra feels like a very different game from the […]

Yo ho ho: A review of Sea of Thieves comic book #1

March 12, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I enjoyed watching people play Microsoft’s Sea of Thieves during the beta. It looked like a proper sailing simulator and the crew mechanic was nice. In fact, I can see Twitch and Patreon perks quickly being used in conjunction with populating a crew. Titan Comics has a comic book from writer Jeremy Whitley coming out […]

Genre Police: Oh The Horror!

March 11, 2018 by Ben Jackson-Ellery Leave a Comment

Over the next few columns we are going to be diving into Horror. While we’ve looked at topics that have bordered the genre before, we haven’t dived right into its black heart. The problem with horror is that it very quickly divides into a massive set of sub-genre specifics. Poe, Lovecraft, King, Bright, Barker are […]

What should Paizo change for Pathfinder 2nd Edition?

March 11, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A week ago Paizo announced Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Geek Native has been talking to gamers about the announcement and it seems some people think Pathfinder 2e comes too close to Starfinder RPG. Some people disagree. Are you a Pathfinder fan? What do you hope to see addressed in this new edition? What changes would you […]
