Heyo all, I run an after school Tabletop Gaming club for 7th-12th graders. We decided this year to transition away from D&D 5e (2014) to Pathfinder 2e Remastered after looking at the decline in D&D’s quality over the last few years or so.

I’ve been playing and running games for the last 15 years, but PF2e is still relatively new to me. I’ve got the kids starting with the beginner’s box, but after we finish that, I’m hoping to have the kids GM for each other so I can fall back into an advisor role.

I know tabletops more broadly, but not quite the specific eccentricities of Pathfinder. What advice would you give to first time players and newbie GMs when it comes to pathfinder specifically? Easy mistakes, common misunderstandings, that sort of thing?

PS Sidenote: I kinda want to get some prewritten modules for the club for kids who want to try GMing something a bit more structured. Any recommendations are welcome

Hey all. I've been playing for a while now, and I had this idea for a fun faction based on a (until recently) relatively obscure piece of fantasy media. I'd love to make a faction based on the Defilers, Preservers, and Sorcerer Kings of Dark Sun. Here's the problem, I have no idea how to write a mod. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to anything related to it. Conquest of Elysium seems (from a novice's point of view) like a pretty simple game to tweak and play around with, so I thought this would be a good starting project for my first ever mod.

Would a modder be willing to help point me in the right direction to give this a try?

I’ve got a Grimbeard joke I reference often and I’ve been trying so hard to remember which video it’s from. It’s the one where he’s talking about meeting a character, and then it cuts to him going “he’s dead” and the sound of flies. The video does it like two or three times and it made me laugh each time. It just lingers there and it made me giggle. Anybody else remember this joke?

I’ve been playing around with the idea of creating my own domain of dread that also appeals to my love of the Dragonlance setting. At first, I really loved the idea of a gold dragon falling from grace, but upon doing some research, it seems like the common consensus is that dragons as dark Lords somewhat goes against the tonal philosophy of Ravenloft. Fair enough, so I wonder what a draconian would look like as a dark Lord.

I’m trying to think of what kind of evil act a draconian could do that would be bad enough for them to gain a domain of dread. They’re already abominations designed to serve the goddess of evil. How much worse could they really get in a way that doesn’t betray their original characterization?

I’m really enjoying this concept, but I’m a bit stuck, so I would love to hear what you guys think .

Hey all, I hope you don’t mind this little bit of vent , little bit of asking for advice.

I renounced my faith in Christ almost 15 years ago, when I was in high school. The reasons for that were pretty much the usual suspects; hypocrisy, forced into it by family, really weird and creepy habits of the youth group (they tried forcing me to speak in tongues - weird as hell), etc. I got really into neopaganism and found some peace there for a many years. Over the last couple years though, I’ve felt a disquieting frustration with it that’s causing me to want to walk away from this too.

At this point, I don’t know what to believe anymore. I do believe there’s something out there, but I’m so uncomfortable not having some kind of guideline to help me through it all. This feeling of emptiness has left me with that same Christian guilt all over again and at this point, I don’t know what to do, where to go, or who to ask for help.

For those of you who maintain some kind of beliefs after leaving the church, what did you do to find that kind of comfort? Do you have any advice for someone who is very confused and very lost?

Edit: I’m really grateful for everyone here for taking the time to offer some reassurance to a total stranger online. I’m taking stock of everyone’s advice here to see what calls out to me so I can find my own path. I’m still welcoming any further ideas on how I could get started on that path, but seriously thank you guys.
