Post "Short Rest: Behind the Screens: Pathfinder 2e" by "naddpod"

Ryan McMahon

I would love to hear these characters

soyyyyyysauce

BEGGING you to play these PCs

Kass

The crunch is so satisfying- I played PF 1e during the 4e drought and it sounds like 2e has a lot going for it. Very cool!

Adrian

Pleaseee play pf2e

Sedona

Still early awaiting this mixed bag!!!

Rotem Cohen

Just saying would love to see a one shot!

Heavy Harry

When is this happening???????????? WHEN!!!???!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

James Dolezal

I was started playing some Pathfinder 2e myself so I am hungry for some good actual plays in the system and would love to see a NADDPOD mini series or even just a one shot!

Nina Rudd

hi! i’m people and I am interested!!

Alex Kelly

Scarl sounds like a Goblin version of live action Shaggy from scooby doo and I love it!!!

Logan

PF2E is my favorite rpg system, and I'm glad to see y'all taking a look at it.

Mike C.

Every time I’ve played P2E, I’ve found it super anti-roleplay and boring, but that could just be the people I was playing with… I’m hesitant to get back into it

Jacob Ibarra

I’ve been obsessed with P2E lately, I hope y’all do a mini-series or more! Already in love with these characters!

Geoff Guy

Love it!

Dalton Davidson

Any news on a Pathfinder mini-series or even just one shot? Would love to see the two crew jump into this system. Has a lot of roleplay potential that is difficult to capture mechanically in a system like DnD

CENTSTARR

Honestly I always thought Pathfinder was an anti-roleplaying system. I hate boring dungeon crawls. But Ya'll have made me feel like there could be some fun here.

Richard Hanton-Rutherford

I'll absolutely listen to and enjoy whatever they make, but if this is going where lots of us assume it is, Pathfinder feels like a step in the wrong direction to me. Absolutely nothing against the game or people who play it, but for a show like NADDPOD you want less crunch, not more. If they're seriously looking at other options I'd be more excited about Savage Worlds (and I'd be interested to see what Powergaming Emily makes of a system with no classes where character advancement is totally open) or PBTA.

Rain

I can't wait to see more Behind the Screen episodes! Would love to learn more about other table top games overall. Also if you guys ever decide to do a mini Pathfinder campaign, I know I would love to see it ❤️

Scrap

Seconding the ICON recommendation

Tyler Gob

Personally love the idea of a Pathfinder mini-series! 🤓

Danny

if you were looking at other systems for future Behind the Screens episodes, i think you guys could really sink your teeth into ICON

Danny

i'd been meaning to learn p2e for a while, and this episode was exactly the intro i needed! thanks emily!

Marlon Skutnik

You guys inspired me to take a look into pathfinder for the first time, and im hooked! Ild love to see the dungeon docent and those three wonderful misfits in a session (or a miniseries, or...)

Victor Zayas

OMG Emily! you did so good explaining P2E! I been trying to learn for some days now but no luck! Hope you do a part 2 once you learn more :)

Nicole Jordan

If anyone is curious about the inspo for Skarl’s voice I don’t know Warcraft and was able to find these gems https://youtu.be/en-kmYqEEbc https://youtu.be/2CKz1-gr3vo

Mr Matthew Raisbeck

Can't wait to see some NADPOD pathfinder content

Sara

I would listen to some Pathfinder one shots. I care more about your fun personalities than exact systems.

M Weisberg

I absolutely LOVED this episode, watching people building characters is so inspiring and exciting! It’s perfect for both players and GMs and frankly anyone who needs to make characters for any reason—writers, artists, etc. I would LOVE for this to become a whole new series the way Dungeon Court did.

David Pazmino

Would absolutely love to hear a campaign for pf2e I've been super interested in swapping over to it with my group.

Phoenix

Absolutely wild neighbor energy! You could call this party a cul-de-sac haha. Bring back the Dungeon Docent! Promote her to Dungeon Doctor after doing all this research! (Also if anyone says anything bad about the way Emily said Shadenfreude I'm going to force you to read the names of small towns in upstate New York)

Phoenix

Emily is truly goated with the sauce, busting it down PF2e style

Qudaci

Will Caldwell draw this party on the next stream please? : )

Zac

Yes plz

Archimedes64

Pathfinder 2e definitely has a bit of a different vibe, but definitely excited to see these little freaks in action!

CaseOPictures

I’m really digging this, hoping to hear more! I love learning the new mechanics

Morse

I got invited to join a Pathfinder 2e game and this is what finally pushed me over the edge to join the Patreon. DOITDOITDOIT

Sebastian M.

I would LOVE to hear more of this ragtag crew of weirdos! And thank you Emily for taking the time to learn and then teach us Pathfinder. I was always curious what it’s like, this was really helpful. Could easily imagine a mini arc like hot boys or oops all monks, but also much more, if you’re angry with wotc and would like to switch to another system. I’m down!

Joshua Velo

Y'all talking about Pathfinder is what pushed me to subscribe to the Patreon. So exciting you're willing to give it a look, and seem excited by what you see!

Michael Singer

Emily I’d pay for a once a month pathfinder game tier on patreon if you dm

Some Guy Named Mason

Melora please, bless us with this beautiful, amazing, absolutely batshit trio. Campaign, mini-arc, one shot, ANYTHING, I would love to see the chaos unleashed for even just a single session. And it’d be really fun to see you all try out a soft intro into P2E! Y’all really got me into 5e, and I’d follow y’all to basically any other system if you ever wanted to branch out!

Bryce F.

Honestly I want this to be Campaign 4... but a one shot would be almost as cool

Kaycee Hodges

Like I would like to know what they think about it because of how much they push kobold press

Kaycee Hodges

So I haven't seen any one talking about this but this doesn't have anything to do with the new ogl bs does it?

Shaudel

I need this one shot so bad. I would also be glad to have something similar to this with Star Wars 5e and Starfinder. Emily giving us a deep dive into different systems and Murph playing a weird little guy is what I need.

Fae Tragedy

I have been looking for a new system to nerd out over! Emily has sold me on learning this😍 (also I would LOVE a mini series)

Avery Morgan

I need the one shot

Saikonaut

Awesome characters 👌

Nancy.Art.Music

This is so cool!! I would love to see the shenanigans these characters get up to in this system 🥰

Lucas

Would be a fun one-shot!

Whitney Weltz

PLEEEEASE run this game!! I love these characters!! Also, thank you Emily for all the explanations, it was amazing!!

Daniel Ambrose

I definitely do want to hear them talk about other systems and I think this is a good format BUT... if we don't get a pf2e mini series I'm going to cry

Pokeylope

It's published under the OGL so the entire rulebook is just floating around the net as free as a bird. ( https://minedit.com/pathfinder-2e-pdf/ ) It's nearly 600 pages, but like Emily says the actual rules are less than 40 pages and the rest is content. Admittedly, reading the rules isn't a very engaging way to expose yourself to a new system. I can't think of any podcasts or anything that use it...

Nik

You all need to play this system

Dangerously Dave

Is there some where people (maybe Emily) recommend I start with looking at pathfinder? it seems like such a huge prospect

Asa Miller

GIVE US THE MINI SERIES

ion collector

would love to see a Pathfinder oneshot or even mini series!

S Koster

Pathfinder goblins are the BEST!

Sam Emmitt

I LOVE THIS! Those characters sound fun as can be! I'd love to see what character Emily creates. This has really got me interested in trying pathfinder. Thank you for the fun short rest!

Lilly Anderson

this sounds so cool! please do a one shot, hearing how it actually runs would be so interesting!!!

BrethrenBlev

YALL NEED TO RUN A ONE SHOT

Taj

This system seems so cool and fun. I neeeeed a one shot if not a whole campaign! I feel like this system would really suit Em’s DM style too

Britt Hobson

I was thinking the same thing. What about “Not another actual play podcast” NAAPPOD.

Mj Gonzalez

with WotC trying their best to kill their own games, just imagine "NAPFPod" also please do as much pathfinder as you see fit! id love to learn pathfinder, and id love to learn it the same way i learned DnD, through NADDPod

Micah Edmonds

Absolutely please play this system with these characters. I need more high-pitched Chaos Murph in my life.

Joakim Almgren

Awesome stuff! I would love to hear a one shot

thedragonllama

I am SO down for adventures with this new crew in what seems like an awesome system!

Elle Senn

please do a pathfinder mixed bag!! I love DMILY!

Isaiah

This sounds so amazing. I would love a mixed bag and if it goes well then I would absolutely love an actual campaign of this. Also Phillys Live show was amazing!

Jennifer

Would LOVE to see these characters/more Pathfinder!

Nicole Jordan

Omg I need to see these characters in action! Thank you so much Emily for this delight

Bryce Granger Patton

Definetly would love to seeyou guys do a Pathfinder series. Love your 5e stuff but the PF2e character creation really seems to fit your group dynamic and the style of characters and shenanigans you get up to.

Ryan Lithgow

I am an avid board gamer, and I think that Emily just did one of the most interesting and oddly absent things among the tabletop hobbies: a pitch! So often, the thematic or bare bones premise of a game is presented, which lacks the deep-dive into what makes individual rules beneficial and detrimental. Both the in-depth analysis of what the rules MEAN for the game system alongside the question-response format with the rest of the NADDPOD crew make for a far more interesting understanding of the reasons to spring for or avoid a different game (system). Maybe I should think about coming up with similar pitches for reviewing or suggesting board games. Anyways, I write all this to say, thank you Emily! Allow me to add on to the pile of positive feedback you've been receiving!

jimmy serio

Please play more of this i love pathfinder and more big shows like yours need to explore more systems. Love you guys thanks.

Abonie

NAPFPOD when

ACK

Was inspired by this and the main ep to have a look at the core rulebook (I'd be keen to see both more Behind the Screens and also Pathfinder one shots!), and re nat 20s found this on page 10: "You also often score a critical success by rolling a 20 on the die when attempting a check (before adding anything). Likewise, rolling a 1 on the dice when attempting a check often results in a critical failure" That's literally as far as I read though, so don't know how that would look in practice. Maybe best of both worlds though?

Chloe Grima

Obligatory comment to play pathfinder one shot as a mixed bag or mini series. Also got me very interested in pathfinder. Thanks for the resources too :)

TheEnderKitty1

Rise of The Rule Lords responded in their podcast!

Graf

Joined as a patron because I’m primarily a pathfinder 2 player. The system is amazing, I think you captured the attractive parts well. I think some of the wilder ideas (jamming something in the crocodiles mouth) are not covered by existing rules. I run a lot of games for kids, who are similarly creative, and some DM fiat will probably be required. The system -is- structured to enable it (e.g. any skill/class ability/etc can be used to do anything). So you could use your cooking lore check to try to neutralize a poison (skill vs dc) and it would work in the rules. But the DM has to say it would work (absent some skill feat I’m not aware of).

Qorkle

Got excited enough about you guys trying out PF2e that I subscribed! Fingers crossed for a oneshot. Very fun hearing how excited Emily was, and Jake being a sport about the changes.

Princess Ringpop

I would love to see atleast a Pathfinder one-shot!

Dire Mouse Rat

Just think, if they switch to Pathfinder, they won't have to change the name of the podcast! 😃

Stephanie Beal

This was such a good approach to introducing a new system. I had always thought I didn't want to learn another TTRPG system unless it's something more collaborative or rules-light, but Emily definitely sold me on Pathfinder 2E. Also I love Murph's enthusiasm about getting to play a goblin.

Garrett Durham

I am giving my obligatory comment saying I’d love a one shot of of this.

Harper Quest

I had never heard your podcast (though I have seen a lot of you on Dropout!). I signed up because I'm so excited for PF2e content.

Paul Coley

Here to to say that I'd love to hear you folks give Pathfinder 2e a real go. I expect listening to any ttrpg you folks play to be a good time, but from what I'm hearing this gives you a lot more tools to work with.

Yan Giroux

Seriously, this system sounds amazing! As a D&D purist, I was skeptical, but it's actually not poison lol. Murph hit it on the nose saying that this would be interesting for people who have gotten tired of 5e's simplicity. Please play as these fellas! I'm on board! Also, thank you Emily for all the hard work! Still the GOAT!

Eric Zagar

Bring these freaks to life please!

Sunshine

Got major Patrick Warburton vibes from Jake’s voice (and that can never be something less than a compliment )

Adam

This sounds awesome! Cannot wait to hear more and be apart of the adventure

Kyle Hopkins

FYI Nat 1s and Nat 20s do matter. They decrease and increase the degree of success. For example, if your bonus to attack is high and normally you hit with most attacks but you rolled a nat 1 this reduces the normal hit to a miss. If you roll an attack that missed but you rolled a nat 20 this would make the attack hit. If you roll for a strike and get 10 over their AC this would be a crit, but if you rolled a nat 1 this crit would now turn into a normal hit.

Tristin Lewis

I made a Pathfinder 2e character for my bud's new campaign last night...only took us 4 hours!

Joshua Stadler

I want this so bad. I just made a level 10 Witch that can fight with his hair. The three-action process is AMAZING! Also, the fact that you can choose how many actions to cast certain spells to make them beefier is so cool!

Lux

Full support for the 2 crew. This system sounds dope.

Michael Shoemaker not Schumacher

So, I'm guessing this is in response to the Wizards debacle. I don't think all of theD&D creators are going to have to jump ship, it seems Wizards are back pedaling like crazy. But, if the Two Crew feels that's what they need to do I'm all in! Personally I don't care what system is used, I'm here because you guys are funny and talented people. I'm happy to go with you wherever this journey leads.

Sam Holmes

I want to hear this game!!

Thomas Hegarty

I have been curious about Pathfinder recently and I’m super excited to try it now!! Really excited to hear y’all play these characters!!! Great job Emily!!!!!

Jack Parsons

These character builds really help contextulise the way that gameplay will feel. I feel like my player group would be resistant to change, but the idea of solo seshing level ups to make there characters the way they want is waaaay satisfying in this system.

Cole Carpenter

Pathfinder is a little more tough but I'd trust you four to tackle it no problem at this point

Kyle Morley

I started playing pathfinder about a year ago and honestly I love to see more people getting into it.

Peter J. Kremer

Whatever it is you want to do, I listen because you're all entertaining people and I enjoy the content. That said, I'm a big fan of PF2E and I'd love to hear you all run through a side quest in it at some point. Have a nice day. :)

Greg Luca

I really really would love to see a campaign with these characters! It would be really interesting to learn alongside y’all so I could eventually bring this game to my players. Love the content and love having Emily as THE host

Connor K

Really fun! Not sure I’m ready for a full pf2e campaign yet but would love an Emily run one shot using this system. Hot boy summer is hands down one of my top 3 favorite dnd things of all time and would love to see Emily’s play system with these outrageously decked out characters.

Morgan

Yes! I need this campaign in my life! We are just now learning pathfinder 2e and super excited for this.

Prince.3ric

Is Jake just that serial killer from jujitsu kaisen that wants to make furniture from his enemies bones? 🤣

Zia-tempany Hill

Are you guys thinking of doing a campaign with those characters? Because they sound hilarious!

xyz chaos

Please for the absolute love of dice Christ play those characters

HellishRebuker the NB DM PhD

Listening to the start of NADDPOD really helped me learn about D&D and got me interested enough to try it myself. I've been really curious about Pathfinder, so I'd be thrilled to passively learn about it while enjoying a oneshot for you guys!

Jonah Wilson

I’d love to see more pathfinder

Triti

I'd love to see you guys try it out! That trio is too fun to just fade away

ShrimplyAwesome

I can’t wait to see these characters in action. I also can’t wait for the reaction when a character inevitably dies from a failed shenanigan, as most of my experience with pathfinder is that it’s a pretty deadly system at times.

Caitrin

Simply could not be more excited to have you jumping into the world of Pathfinder! It’s so so fun and customizable, and could be so exciting to try, especially for the more experienced players among you! Now to combine Pathfinder and Starwars 5e and get you to play Starfinder! 😍

Tyler Sharp

I’m very into this, I would love to hear some pathfinder games. It would be pretty cool if campaign 4 was pf2e, I learned how to play DND 5e from this show so that’s kinda how I would need to learn pathfinder too

RoadDietsRule

I will be trying Pathfinder 2e now

Craig Weatherhead

This was amazing to listen to. Any continued content with these 3 characters and Emily as DM would be awesome!

James B.

Murph’s character reminds me of Junkrat from Overwatch!

Stephen Laster

I'm super excited to eventually hear y'all play some Pathfinder!!!! Pathfinder has been my preferred system since it came out. :)

burnso

Would LOVE to see these characters in action. There was something very organic about these two episodes and you guys diving head first into unknown waters. Very refreshing. I would love to see you try out this and other systems (PbtA? Shadow of the Demon Lord? Whitehack?) as ultimately I just don’t like 5e very much.

Gabriel Miller

been talking to other fans of the pod and everyone is so excited about the prospect of y’all getting into pathfinder. hearing y’all learn 5e in real time was huge for my understanding of the system. if you’re worried about alienating people, know that we’re here for YOU not d&d!

Joseph Niski

This would be such a fun trio to listen to!

Kris White

Just wanted to let Jake know, I played a skald that was a heavy metal bard that inspired rage for pathfinder 2e. PCGen.org is a great resource for creating characters.

Scott

Has anyone ever heard Cask and Bev’s dad on the same pod?

Marilyn Whelan

Would absolutely love to see these 3 maniacs for a mixed bag!

Wyl

+1 for a mixed bag of this gang with emily in the dm seat! this was amazing!

chaoticnuetral66

I hope you all decide to do this as a mixed bag, I'd love to see these 3 in action!

Pagos, Self-Proclaimed Fae King, Now with Real Musical Improv Action

This voice that Murph is using is very reminiscent of Aabria

Rowan T Buck

I'd love to see this as a mixed bag :D

Steven Collins

This sounds amazing. I’m ready for 2 shot or a full on mini Emily campaign!

Mack0Lantern

Emily is so so rad for this and I’m PRAYING we get a campaign

Evan Sherlock-Hubbard

A decade ago I was an avid Pathfinder 1 player having come from 3.5 originally. Later I picked up 5th edition as a way to play with people new to TTRPGs and of course we have a lot of fun, but the way that Pathfinder 2.0 was described to me originally as it came out seemed like it would be a major hurdle to learn, so I had never picked it up because what I had was "Good enough". Your presentation on how PF 2 worked, and the characters that you guys created... It instantly brought back that feeling of creativity and crunchy fun that I'd forgotten Pathfinder gave me. I am absolutely going to be picking up some books on this ruleset, and I would love so much to see these three characters brought to life with the hilarious, earnest soul that you all are so good at creating, and I'd also love to learn the rules of the game alongside you all. I've seen online discussions on the two systems, I've seen YouTube videos describing 2.0, none of that brought me around to the idea of switching systems the way that you guys excitedly chatting about mechanics and characters did.

Naarg

If the goblin wants to chuck bombs around, look into the Alchemist Dedication feat.

Andrick Neal

I want more of that goblin freak

Jay Gar

I miss the side campaigns, I'd love to listen to Emily GM 6-10 episodes of this crew as a side thing! Dungeon Court has taken over the main feed!

Samuel Burris

We definitely need a trinivale esk pathfinder campaign that fills some of the gaps between main campaign eps

Caredwen

This was really fun! I don’t know the first thing about Pathfinder, and it was great to learn. Thanks, Emily, for the research. I would love to hear a one-shot with these characters!

Ron A.

PATHPOD

Roo

So psyched to hear you all discuss this! And as an aside, I had no idea that Pathfinder had FF8-style gunblades! That is wonderful and amazing!

Robert Guilford

Loved both episodes! I’d definitely listen to an arc with y’all playing PF2e

Hunter Wright

Honestly, with all the shit WotC is pulling rn with licensing and pulling the rug out from independent creators, I'm 100% on board with more Pathfinder content. Seems like it would have way more opportunity for shenanigans that the Crew loves to try anyways (maybe Caldwell won't be blown off of towers, or his frog friendship will actually work? Lol).

KennyH

holy shit, Murph's goblin voice was had me DYING with laughter, especially when Emily was reading the stats he was trained in. "Intimidation..." - "I'll KILL YOU"

Sam Fitch

I really look forward to these guys playing something in Pathfinder 2e! Wait until the discover free archetype rules so they can customize their characters even further!

Peydon Bush

Id loooove if y’all did a mixed bag (at least!) of this! Ive never played before and would love to hear it in action, sounds cool as hell

Krysti778

This sounds awesome I can't wait for this!

Ian Vargas

These episodes were extremely fun to listen to and it was cool to see how excited everyone was about the system and character creation! Would definitely be ok with more Pathfinder content!

Nick Neverman

Being a great crafter is also awesome for the transferring runes ability, god the depth you can get into with PF2e characters is so fun

Jacob Leggatt

Wanted to add my voice and say I loved these episodes and would be very excited to see more PF2 content! And also for anyone who wants to try it but is feeling intimidated, the Beginner Box they mentioned is really incredible and has everything you need to play up to level 3.

Obed Pacheco

Yes, please!! So looking forward to this - especially since I'm looking to learn the PF2e as well!

Trevor Rogers

I would love to see a play test mixed bag that would be fucking awesome

SilentFlux

I heard a lot about PF2e lately (for obvious reasons), but I've been playing and running 5e for many years and planned to stick with that because that's what both my players and I know and are comfortable with. The main feed episode this week sparked my interest, but after hearing the character creations on the short rest, I was sold and ended up getting the PF2e beginner's box. I'm a lazy GM and don't like to change things, but Emily's (and everyone else's) excitement was contagious and her explanations were very easy to understand. I've also played SW5e a few times as well and those comparisons helped a ton. Thank you 2 Crew for inspiring this set-in-their-ways GM to try something new!

I love Mike Buch

Hello, so I'm in a campaign that uses a different system than 5e and it's called Savage worlds. If everyone liked Pathfinder I think they would love savage worlds

Ian Hanson

Pathfinder 2e looks sexy 😎

han!!

This is an insane cut but as Caldwell was talking in character voice i could only think of Arte, that dog that owned the curio shop in Webkinz. The voice is so similar

Grimbiliah

I would love a pathfinder campaign, since it would teach me how the system worked at a basic level which would make jumping in easier

Nick Garito

I will pay in blood for a campaign with these characters. Just tell me how many gallons and it'll be done

Lorelei The Succubus and Kyra her busty Queen

Emily this is your chance, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE run a Pathfinder 2e game with Mario characters so you can claim your own characters for Naddpod pool as Murph added DK and Caldwell added Sonic. If you don't hurry then the weird bailiff dude may steal the idea like he steals tuckers scraps

Benjamin Stephenson

I would love if Pf2e (or other system) is used in place as the story that would be created would be awesome. They didn't even touch any of the Free Architype stuff (from what I remember) and there are some fun ones to add in other abilities

Cody McKervey

So we're gonna cancel the current campaign to do Pathfinder now right?😂

Thermovore

I would love to hear a pathfinder campaign. One thing I loved about c1 was yall learnin and foolin with rules. Plus, theres SO MUCH 5e content out there that it’s no longer an exciting system to listen to (yall do amazing but for me its despite the system not bc of it)

JR Lonergan

Please please please play these soon

skyzablu .

Please play pathfinder this sounds so awesome

Emmett Moon

I would love a oneshot or campaign with these characters god damn

Eric Bouchey

Skaarl is instantly my favorite fictional character in all media.. I want an animation of this party!! Lol

Robert Cowdrey

I really hope we get to see these characters sometime soon! My group has been thinking into pf2e due to all the D&D unrest currently and I had a completely different picture of the system and these two episodes made me way more interested.

tophergrace

would love to see a trinyvale type thing on the main feed in pathfinder

Joseph Christodoulou

Definitely looking forward to hearing you guys play this new system!

Arthur Kord

I am so here for more Pathfinder 2e. Also you guys should use pf2easy if you haven't checked it out yet.

Katherine Gwynn

Jake's reaction to Critical Specialization made me think y'all could play Pf2e for "Eldermourne II: The Reckoning" (if it happens). I imagine Hank could do some cool stuff with a guy'sarm! Love to see u encouraging system exploration, great shakeup of the off-week, and really enjoying "Bahumia 2.1: Draggin' it" (WiP).

A.E. Ross

Would love to listen to y'all play Pathfinder! this is my first in-depth intro to the system and it sounds really fun.

Jay Yoder

I really hope y’all do more of these and would love to see an exploration of Worlds or Stars Without Number.

Aiyana

cask's voice is like either the dad or the neighbor from fairly odd parents

Dixon Jonathan

Wow you guys are so fun to listen to. I found your Patreon from the Pathfinder subreddit and I'm unbelievably excited to follow your pf2e exploits!

Aiyana

I Need to hear murph play this character

Caguro

a pf2e mixed bag would be dope as fuck tbh

Bella Poore-Furolo

I’m so here for NAPPOD

Caguro

Not just a gun-toting goblin, but a dynamite-juggling tinkerer with a gun that doubles as a sword. literally the hypest gobo i've ever heard

Caguro

the resources Emily mentioned in the NADDPOD episode are fantastic if you're looking to familiar yourself with PF2e as a beginner (Rise of the Ruleslord, Rules Lawyer, NoNat1, Archives of Nethys), but I'd also recommend checking out RPGBot's introduction into the system on their blog and the PF2e subreddit / discord

Caguro

13th age is goated, love how the designers got rid of the grid-based paradigm in favor of a more "theatre of the mind" approach to movement and range also the Occultist class looks so cool, and the fact that each class is designed in a way to tie your character into the lore of the game from the get-go is really sick

Jeffrey Hayes

Emily running a campaign with these three bozos sounds like a wonderful mixed bag and maybe even a next big campaign in the future!

Caguro

From my understanding, WotR is a Pathfinder 1st Edition exclusive module, although it might have been converted to Pathfinder 2e by the guys over at the Pathfinder subreddit :shrugs: As far as great module campaigns go, I've heard that Abomination Vaults is fantastic for introducing new players, but the go to for dipping your toes into the system would have to be the Beginner Box

Polly Ennis-Theobald

Emily man, she's the fucking coolest. Love all of this research into this game and her builds are incredible. What an amazing person she is

Lindsay Lee

We’re ready, give us the Pathfinder 2e mixed bag we’re READY!!

Basil McDonough

There's some reason i cant put my finger on that made me curious about pathfinder 2e recently, thanks for putting these out at a serendipitous time.

Ron A.

I love pathfinder...just want to say that if you guys decide to start playing pathfinder more FOR ANY REASON I will fully support it.

Megan

YEEES!! I want to see these characters in action already!! XD cant wait for the pathfinder 2e one shot and moooore!! ^_^

Ethan Armstrong

Super excited for this happening. Seeing Emily's system mastery in a system like pathfinder would be incredible and pathfinder really makes DMing so much easier in my experience in how creative you can be while not having to wing it on balance like CR often makes you do. Also the system has such strong support for making good fighters and weird little guys so it really caters to Caldwell and Jake. :D

foster the boneless duck

i'm immediately in love with this crew!!! i really hope we get a little mixed bag mini campaign dm'd by emily!!! i'm so excited for this!!!

Meghan

Fellow goblin lovers! I cannot recommend the short pre-written module called “We Be Goblins” it’s a pathfinder module that goes over the goblin lore, there’s a wedding to cause chaos at, and of course a myriad of fights! It’s a perfect dip into the game but doesn’t take long :) we played it as our first try at 2e and now we’ve been converted for 2 years.

SoupLightning

Literally next mkxed bag should be a pathfinder game

Humble Goblin

The crew should check out "open legend" next, i just started a campaign in it and im loving it so far.

drednauht

I hope they stay 5e. Adding crunch to a radio style drama wouldn't be great. That said, I ran 3.5/PF1 for forever, and get that a bit more crunch can add texture to a RPG sandwich

Big Jazz Band

I just started learning about Pathfinder 2e because of the whole #OpenDnD situation and I can say I'm pleasently surprised by it and by these posts! Can't wait to hear you all play Pathfinder, I've upped my sub to the mixed bag tier so that I can get in on it!

Sand Panda

I use to listen to a podcast called: Pod Called Quest. It was somehow through them (maybe a req) that I found you all, NADDPod. So I for one would LOVE to hear you all play Pathfinder of any edition (or heck, any other ttrpg).

Jacob Edenfield

So excited to hear you're experimenting with Pathfinder 2e. I'm playing my first long-term 2e campaign right now, and you'll have a blast. One thing to note: all those little +2 and -1 circumstance changes really add up. You'll be surprised how often they push something from a success to a critical success and vice versa.

Drew Worth

Everything I’ve heard about Pathfinder made it seem like it was sooo cool, thanks Emily for making this rundown of some of the basics, I’m gonna go out and buy me some Pathfinder books now!

Audrey

I so, so desperately want to see this chaotic and terrible trio play. Please.

Gurl Luigi

you made three actual psychos, legit afraid of this group...

Marianne

As a Riz Gukgak stan, I am ECSTATIC to see Murph play another gun-toting goblin with absolutely no chill.

Xavier

Murph made adc ziggs

Christopher Reeves

I second the motion!

Alana Ochoa

i love it!!!!!! cant wait for u to go into more ttrpgs

This sounds like so much fun! I need this campaign 👏🏿

jbyrd

Jake sounds like the pillow guy.... But I like him

Nathan Amundson

The characters are fantastic and I love how the PF2 system fleshes them out! Love to see more of this!

James Burnett

I would upgrade immediately if this became a mixed bag campaign

Amelia Morgana

Yes please play these characters on a mixed bag!

Daniëlle Clarke

Final Fantasy 8 music intensifies

Faerunner

Loved this so much! I've been wanting to move away from D&D for a bit now cause of the OGL drama and have been considering Pathfinder as an option. This was such a great little demo/walkthrough! Thanks Emily! Would love to see some one shots or better yet a full campaign in PF2e!

jbyrd

"Aannnnd" ☝️☝️

Jareth

I've been catching up since July and I'm finally current with the podcast, this was a real treat to have as my first episode in real time

jbyrd

Mocho man for Merph https://youtu.be/wz-VJl7UkB8

Beau Tran

I'm so excited for somthing new!! Please make this a thing

Maia Selkirk

I'm begging for the return of DMily to guide these delightfully off-putting little men along the path of adventure

Jordon Brown

I want this. I want this so badly.

munch lax

So im stoked for Emily to DM campaign 3.5

Blythe

Amazing! Been listening for a little bit, but had to sign up to hear the Pathfinder builds, and as a pf2 player Emily absolutely nailed it! I will say the math is super tight in pf2e, so a bitter pill for me was the little +1 or +2s feeling a little deflating. But they make a lot more sense when you remember that it's also an increased chance to crit! Also it would be incredible to see Wilmer getting Dubious Knowledge for some monster facts.

Tim C

Would absolutely love to hear these characters and learn a little more about the system alongside y'all similar to how many of us did for D&D

EggBilly

Sword gun is some Bloodborne vibes. Also, adding dexterity to a gun attack is more of a way to show your skill as a gunslinger ie shooting in the chest versus shooting in the leg.

Nesve Fowl

I want a side campaign like trinyvale for this very badly!!

Nesve Fowl

That was exactly what I was thinking!!

Noah James Perito

Jake is playing Kronk

Dominique Kupersmith

Would love to hear you guys play pathfinder! I am super intrigued by the system now.

Jonathan Byrne

This was super fun, I'd love to see you all try the system as I've been playing it for the better part of a year now. Its very exciting to see more people trying out the system and if you try it out and don't enjoy it that's okay as well, still happy that you gave it your time. :)

BombasticBabyOtter

Is the audio sped up for the or anyone else? Having some issues following it lol

Molly

Would absolutely love to hear yall play these characters or even just roll up more characters in the system!! (I'd love to hear one that Emily makes for herself as well!)

Michael Glander

I know you've gotten a couple ideas for one shots lately but please i want a one shot of this including all your confusion figuring out the rules in game i think it would be hilarious

Cathy Lewandowski

Y'ALL. I love this. Please do at least a one shot with these absolutely unhinged maniacs!

Keaghan Yaxley

Very keen to learn more about Pathfinder by listening to you guys play. Do it!

Samantha Wald

truly so much fun to hear about other systems!! i hope we can hear more Behind The Screens in the future about other ttrpgs! and i would LOVE to hear a one shot using pathfinder 2e and these characters!! new systems can be intimidating but i found Emily's explanation and character creation demo engaging and insightful! it really got me curious and excited about learning more and trying out pathfinder!! thank you guys for such a fun overview!!

Patrick C McAuliffe

Or just lean into that it is *NOT* another D&D podcast. I'm here for both

Kate N

This system sounds fun and these characters are SO unhinged, I absolutely want to hear them in a one shot (or more!)

Clever Lettuce

Not Another TableTop Podcast? I'm here for it!

The Lady Of Cram Over A Field Of Daniels

I would love to see these characters in a little journey. You did a great job at taking their concepts and making super unique and creative choices.

ananarama

So interested to hear this as a one shot!

miguel cantu

Love hearing Murph RP a goblin.

Heavy Harry

When?

Maia Costea

This was so fun, I'm definitely stealing counter performance because it's SUCH a TRUE BARD move, so cool! Also context-based initiative as a concept blew my mind! Thanks for making this week's homework, Emily, you're so good at this, I love it! Oneshot would be so fun to hear!

Evan Bartlett

I would kill to see your next campaign played in this system

an_empty_box

Pathfinder 2e sounds sick, and it would be awesome to hear you guys give it a shot.

ptak_sobie

Pathfinder sounds so sick, and hearing our hosts play Pathfinder would be so so sick

stayathomeslug

This was fantastic! Please announce when the mixed bag would be and I would gladly up my tier for that month! I've been wanting to switch to this and try out Starfinder 2e, so thank you!

Rue Anna Faye

We need a game of pathfinder with these characters

An_Armed_Bear

I really like Jake's "Deranged Patrick Warburton" character voice.

ToastyFuture

Love the thought of doing a mini-campaign or a one shot! There’s an ancestry of sentient artistic spiders called the Anadi that for some reason I feel give strong Axford vibes

Milk Teeth

I am absolutely into this system, I desperately want to hear this adventure of wacky little guys

Mad Dungeon Mama

PLEASE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a mixed bag Pathfinder game!!!!!!!! I bet you!!!!

Keynon Kocinski

I think bringing a host GM that is familiar with the system could be a really fun way to explore this system on the show!

Quietvanguard

legit might try out pathfinder with some friends! it sounds super cool

Brian Tatosky

This was perfect timing as interest in Pathfinder is increasing for...you know reasons.... (Saying this as someone who knows nothing about Pathfinder and wanting to.)

Jayce Lugo

This was fantastic, I really hope y’all play these characters soon! If this is going to be a new segment (and I definitely think it should be) I’d love to hear about Call of Cthulhu and Warhammer

Morgan

Absolutely need to see their wacky adventures

Logan Freund

We gotta see these characters in action

Chris Edwards

Sorry, forgot to mention. I would love if "We love to buff but we also love to blast" made it into the next merch bundle somehow.

Chris Edwards

A truly fantastic overview! I've only played a small amount of Pathfinder 1e (but have a pretty high level experience with other TTRPGs) but wanted to share a couple impressions. Hearing that it the intentionality of the system was being to not have to multiclass was a revelation. The little bit I've played seems to give the power gamer (not a pejorative) a ton of resources. Groups I've been in have really been satisfying for the more mathy gamers I know.

Cats

Loovveeeee. Please play these! Especially with what Hasboro/WOTC is doing with D&D, this would be a great pivot!

Kaileigh Rose

Absolutely loved this! So interesting and cool! Would love a one shot or something!

Chris P. Bacon

❤️

Dr. Bearkele

I suggest checking out DnD Shorts on YouTube for quick summaries of how to best fight this, but the main thing is to keep the discussion in the publuc and not in the surveys where WotC can make up whatever results they want.

Reece Kresge

If you guys do more of these I'd love to see you cover 13th Age. That's the system the group of friends I play with are considering switching over to and makes combat seem less sluggish

Daniel A.

Binky Fiasco?

Andrew Albaugh

This was awesome, but I also want to know what character Emily would have made!

Jeremy Tyler

ONE SHOT. Plz n thanks 😁

Nick Wesell

Wizards is going to have a survey for the new ogl. Please let us know naddpods take on it so I can complete the survey in a way that supports naddpod.

Jon Whitehead

I want a Mixed Bag with these oddballs as soon as conceivably possible. I'm so excited to hear this.

DemonLordSparda

Genuinely Tortle Tank seems like a better fit for Pathfinder.

Tre K

I haven’t even finished listening to the main episode yet, but I wanted to highly recommend playing the Pathfinder game Wrath of The Righteous to you guys, it’ll be a great intro to the system and a good way to find out what classes you’re interested in!

Austin Johnson

It will be nice to see pathfinder approached by comedians. My experience with pathfinder was with a bunch of crunchy rules lawyers and it felt like living through all the cases in dungeon court but without the much deserved punishments.

Mr. Satan, the World Martial Arts Champion and the Earth's protector

Oh shit! I am hyped for this. Such a good crunchy system! Seems right up Murph and Emily’s ally due to their enjoyment of 3.5 over 5e

Xacris

As someone that helped playtest for Pathfinder since 2008, I feel so indulgent listening to you all gush about the rules for Pathfinder. Hope y'all have fun, and now I can start submitting my home rules for Pathfinder when you do more Tortle Tanks
