This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How many are actively playing Pathfinder 1E, and intend to keep rocking that ruleset?

I have all the 2E on order, and await a chance to find out if it was money well spent or me investing in a bunch of books I will throw on ebay a couple weeks later.

In the meantime, I have all my core 1E books + I've been grabbing all the pocket editions because I Gotta Catch Em All!

1E has served me well over the years, not going to quit it anytime soon (even if 5E is the only game in town around here for most....sigh.)

I read on their forums that someone asked if the Inner Sea series of books would be getting the pocket edition treatment and from the posts they are probably not going to do pocket editions of those. They probably plan to do 2E version of the books. I can definitely see 2E versions of Inner Sea Gods and Inner Sea World guide being released. Inner Sea races is not a bad book just more fluff on some of their iconic races, buy either used or online.

Where I live now the PF group I was in crashed & burned. I looked around and all the long running PF groups I knew of poofed into the wind. That's fine, lots of home fixing needs attention.

Where I'm moving all the PF groups seemingly poofed as well. 5E seems to be everywhere. AD&D1E/OSR-friendly groups there, though.

Talked to a guy where I used to live and he mention PF faded as well.

PF2E can get stuffed. Looks like I'll be back in the OSR-saddle again. Maybe try to get a group into Castles & Crusades. Maybe ACKS. If not, I can live with (A)D&D.

Quote from: Kevin197;1087414Long time pathfinder fan here and I've been totally turned off by the thing mainly by there new art for the iconics which (IMHO) looks much worse than the origonal versions except for 1. What has really pissed me off is the way there handling critasism of the new art (Apparently any critique of the female characters is shaming of real life women). Which in the case of the only updated one I like the sorceror Seoni is especially jarring or to paraphrase Archer "Yes because thats why you put Seoni in her origonal outfit to  highlight her intellect."

Just so everyone can see what I'm talking about

And Seoni old vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/pathfinder/images/2/2a/Seoni.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080602020008http://

And new paizo.com/image/content/PathfinderRPG/20190509-Seoni.jpg

Wow, they've managed to make their iconics completely sanitized, "G rated" and completely free of any possible sex appeal by covering them all up and removing any possible curves lest anyone possibly be offended.  Yikes, the Paizo folks really are terrified of offending anyone, aren't they.  Ugh.  Fucking disgusting.

Seoni was a hot thang in PF1.
I need you to roll a perception check.....

Removing even the hint of curves from the paladin's armour is quite funny.

But I'm most struck by how the faces have become wan and drawn. They're not having a good time. They look miserable now.
They look like SJWs.

It's funny, even Disney princesses are allowed to have curves.  Pathfinder iconics aren't.  I've been to the message boards there and on rpg.net.  It seems like bizarro land to me.

The funny thing is the people they are now trying to market towards have already turned on them if the whole nonsense about Folca and Jessica price's shitstorm tweets are anything to go by.

The first is the normal barbarian.  The second is the barbarian after she's been attacked by a wight and got part of her soul sucked out of her.  Pale. Colorless, and lacking skin on her bones.  

It's like the artist doesn't even want to do take these notes from editorial but he "needs to eat". (It's the same artist for both)
