I don't think I ever saw such a great deal for tabletop RPGs.
Anyone wanna DM?

 

[GearDraxon]

Wow, this is pretty nuts.

I'm totally up for DMing, if people want to play with someone who has never DMed before, and only has experience with D&D 5E! 😀

 

[mrmoose]

For stuff like RPG books, I still think physical volumes, where you can leaf back and forth between pages and books, is preferable, but maybe I'm just old fashioned and have no idea how to quickly navigate an ebook or something.

I mean, worst case scenario you print out the 10-20 pages you might need to switch back to constantly.

I'd be down for some games as I don't have anyone playing around me anymore! I also only ever played 5E, and mostly DM'd actually, which is why it'd be fun to finally able to be a PC for once haha

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I could be convinced to join a game. I'm DMing right now and would love to sit on the other side of the screen without sacrificing the game I'm running with my current players.

I love digital comics and novels but when it comes to this stuff I'm with you. All my D&D and Warhammer books are physical, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. I even use a digital character sheet but still like to have the books on a shelf.

That being said, I'll jump on this deal and get the physical core rules.

 

[Possum Armada]

This is an amazing deal! Thanks for posting. :)

That's crazy cheap, thanks for the heads-up!

Yeah, sequential books I have a much easier time with digital, it's mainly reference books and the like.

Still, a killer deal for sure.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Bought it at the physical tier. I've never played Pathfinder before but $30 for that much content is a steal.

Well the $30 tier comes with a physical core book, which is what you'd mostly be flipping through at a table. When it comes to Tabletop RPG I tend to buy all the core stuff both physical and digital. The rest I tend to prefer digitally because it's usually not referenced outside of a particular adventure - though I'll pick it up physically sometime in the future when it's cheap, just to fill out my book shelves.

The general reaction to Pathfinder 2e is hilarious considering the origins of Pathfinder.

Depending on the app you're using you just set favorites and create list. Then you can easily navigate to certain pages or list of relevant session data.

I did the $30 for the physical book, but Paizo's website sucks. It won't accept my address, so I can't place the order. On top of that, their customer service email is backlogged by over a thousand emails and a month and a half.

I'm glad I selected to have most of the $30 go to charity.

I had to fight with Paizo for half an hour to convince it to take my address. I actually left the order completely and updated my address on my profile, and that was enough for it to keep my address and let me complete the order for the physical book.

 

[Carvel]

I'm knee deep into a 5e campaign and probably won't get an opportunity to play PF2e any time soon, but I'm interested in the rules and love skimming through rpg-books in general. Thanks for the hint!

I had never played a tabletop RPG before (excepting about 2 sessions of Rifts back in high school, so... 1992?), but being in lockdown got me to seek out a game on Roll20, which I've been enjoying immensely.

I tried that that to, but still didn't have any luck. Gave up and just ended up having it shipped to my work. I was worried not having my full billing address would cause it to be declined, but thankfully that wasn't an issue.

Nice. If you donate 30$ you get the physical edition of the Core. Seems like most of these are novels though?

 

[A Grizzly Bear]

Great deal for the digital. I was going to go in on the physical until I found out they estimate shipping to Canada at $30-45.

Good luck. I've been trying for almost a year. Any time I've tried to find a table, in-person or online, people just ask me to DM their campaign because they either got dumped or their DM wants to play.

Yeah, the core rules plus shipping is a lot more expensive than just buying the book on German Amazon :p

 

[Zulith]

Anyone who's played a decent amount of both D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e can give a brief rundown of some of the differences? I haven't looked at Pathfinder since 1e, which was needed at the time after the backlash to D&D 4e, but is there a place for Pathfinder anymore?

 

[A Grizzly Bear]

I'm assuming the shipping cost is USD too since it doesn't indicate otherwise, which only makes it a worse deal. Almost double the price of Amazon or my local store.

Click to shrink...

Yeah. I've been DMing the same game for about 10 months now and while I'm enjoying it I'm also kinda tired of that being my only way of interacting with the game. Finding someone else to run something, ESPECIALLY during the pandemic, is a nightmare.

 

[LuxCommander]

Wow, that is a good deal. I haven't played 2e for Pathfinder, how does it compare to 1e and D&D 5e?

 

[FF Seraphim]

Is there a good site that breaksdown the details of PF2.0 compared to PF1.0?

 

[Mashing]

Damn, that is a hell of a deal. Thanks for bring it to my attention.

 

[GearDraxon]

Repeating the call for 5e -> PF2e insight - I'd love to know what more-experienced people think of the differences and similarities.

 

[PanzerKraken]

So is 2E actually good? I mean for a while folks were like PATHFINDER IS KING, that dethroned DnD and then 5e came out and it was all the hot stuff, and never heard much about Pathfinder once 2E hit.

As a forever-DM I feel all of your pain. It's really hard to find any kind of group outside of my existing 5e group because 1) I'm on the west coast and 2) I can't play until around 7pm on account of work/kids/dinner/etc.. The closest I ever seem to find are games that start at 5pm PDT, which may as well be 2am to me.

I personally think 5e beat out Pathfinder due to how easy it is to pick up and play. Pathfinder just got stupid complicated and everyone I knew who played it jokingly called it Mathfinder. Still you had a lot of freedom in Pathfinder 1.0.

 

[ThiefofDreams]

wow this made my day lol

Yeah for Europe it says "35-65$" which is a joke. Both that range ("it may cost this, or twice as much, who knows?") and the price itself, which is way higher than shipping from other places.

PF2e definitely has more depth of choice, even though it's a newer game. I also think the action economy (three actions and a reaction to spend as you wish) is better, but both games do have a relatively simpler play feel than, say, original Pathfinder or Pre 4e D&D.

 

[Pooh]

Wow, that is a good deal. I haven't played 2e for Pathfinder, how does it compare to 1e and D&D 5e?

Click to shrink...

I haven't played it yet but a lot of people say it's a lot more accessible than PF1e but with a ton of deep character customization options that set it apart from 5e. Anyway I got the bundle and I'm eager to see how it stacks up.

Having played 5e for a few years, it's getting pretty stale tbh. It's like playing in the kiddy pool kind of. Really fun but shallow. Eventually you want to move to the deeper end.

I'm definitely getting this. I wouldn't mind playing with others here if someone would like to set up a game.

For me, I've only played 2 characters, so it feels like there's plenty more for me to explore in 5e.

Paizo PDFs are indeed indexed. It's really great, and I love reading them on my iPad.

So has anyone who actually ordered this pack had their physical rulebook ship yet? Paizo has yet to confirm anything beyond my order being Pending.

 

[GearDraxon]

Last day for this! I just started playing in a Starfinder game online, so I haven't had much chance to flip through the rulebooks, but what I did see looked pretty great.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

My physical guide finally shipped! It only took three whole weeks.

 

[GearDraxon]

Last hour! Sorry for bumping again, but I've been having so much fun in my online D&D 5e and Starfinder games that I want everyone to jump in.

 

[Empyrean Cocytus]

Picked up the base pack for $5. I figured, what the hell.

Any reason for me to move up in level if i'm a total newb to this system?

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Great deal, but I think crunch is out for me. Just combat oriented games are stale to me.
Been running Call of Cthulhu for a few months and it's been amazing.
