Welcome!

So for those stumbling in here for the first time or sent here via a link, I'm Tyler and this is my blog for teaching my players the Pathfinder gaming system and my houserules modifying it, and the rules to everyone else who might be interested. I'll probably be modifying this piece as I codify the greater visual key to show off what posts are what but for now, I hope you enjoy the content and that I hear from everyone who is interested.

Review: Awesome Ancestries: Galactic Species, Vol. 14 - Cloud City Bounty Hunters,

Image
 So, I've been following Far Distant Futures since their Doomed Denizen book, arguably one of my favorite new books in the 3rd party 1st ed space that I wasn't working on. Bryan's attention to interesting and novel new mechanics for ancestries that define them through what you can do with them without over powering them has been a standout of his design style, and his recycling of the action symbols idea from 2nd back into 1st is a perfect update from that system back to ours, and alongside his commitment to no AI art, has had me constantly coming back for more. And with each one of these I've picked up, the more I've started to learn that, when FDF decides to do ancestries, it's definitely worth it to pick up a copy. So, when I realized he was doing Star Wars tie ins, along with other scifi properties from the past, I knew I had to check in at least a little and see what's happening, and, long story short, I was not disappointed.  Now, before I get too deep...

Pathfinder Epilogue, The Best of the 3rd Party pt. 1: The Weird, Niche, and Wonderful

So, with Pathfinder 1st edition coming to a close I think it's time to take a look back on some of the best stuff to come out of the 3rd party stable over the last 10 years. The list of books that has come out in the last few years alone has been truly staggering and as Paizo lays 1st ed to rest and players and GMs look to snap up 3rd party content to fill the void I've compiled this... "small" list of content to help out. So whether you are a GM looking to fill that aforementioned void of new content for your old system or a group looking to add some great weird or unseen content to your game while you wait for 2nd ed to catch your fancy or whatever check this out. And if you're one of those people who gets overwhelmed just looking at the SEA OF STUFF that is the DrivethruRPG shopping list, don't worry, this is to help you guys too. This first set is a lot of great content I think of that I love but might not get noticed amid the sea of heavier hitters I ...

Ability Scores: A Description

As stated previously, Ability Scores are broken down into 6 categories that represent the various physical and mental powers of your character and every other creature throughout the game. Now, I know some people can get confused by these so I feel like it's best to go over each one to get everyone up to speed and working from the same definition of each of these going forward. I cannot tell you the number of times I have seen problems at table come about because 2 people have differing definitions of what Ability X is supposed to cover. So, without further adieu, lets get into it. Physical vs. Mental:  Each character has 6 Abilities that can be broken down into 2 groups Physical and Mental. Physical Abilities or Stats, are abilities that are meant to represent your character's physical abilities such as how strong or nimble they are or how hardy they are and ease with which they can shake of diseases. If your character has superhuman strength or get's crippled and is lef...
