If there’s one small tip I can give to everyone getting into Pathfinder 2E: They’re not races; they’re ancestries. Why does this matter? 1) Well, language matters. 2) These ancestries don’t reflect racial politics. 3) Because it’s a different system and we have terminology that we worked hard on.

"What the report finds is that Biden held on to 94% of the people who said they would support him before the debate. For Trump, 86% of people who said they would support him before the debate said they would do so after the debate."

Until November 5, 2024, Votefinder, an election subsystem for Pathfinder Second Edition, is available as pay-what-you-want.
All I ask in return is that you encourage the USA-based players at your table to vote this year.

Hot damn look at that!!

We’re 2k away from hitting the 50% mark for Project Dastan!

They say the hitting 50% by day 2 is a good indicator that the project will succeed!

Not usually one for old wives tales, but why leave it up to chance?

Shall we hit 50% today? 💖

Honestly I'd vote for a cardboard cutout of Joe Biden over the real Donald Trump.

Seven times between 1801 and 1869 Congress changed the size of the court, going from a low of five justices in 1801 to a high of ten in 1863. In most of those cases, as in 1801 and 1863, the size went up and down in order to fix an imbalance or overreach by the Supreme Court. My latest

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Y'all I'm going to be honest. The Pathfinder champion Remaster changes look like a step in the right direction but I don't think they're going to lay to rest debates about how to play them and incorporate them at the table. I guess what I'm saying is Champ-ions will always be polarizing.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.
