And that’s why every DM must kill the wizards before level 20 when they become immortal wizard kings and create their own magocratic kingdoms and wage war against the other wizard.

[@VentureCaptains]

We ignored the warning signs when they started answering every question with a fireball. It's our own fault really.

[@simonyj]

As the saying goes " Who needs guns, when I've got a wand of fireballs".That's why a magic dead country is the perfect firearms setting.

[@LucaUmbriel]

Because you can learn how to use a gun in an afternoon, while you need years of specialized training to even use a level 1 wand of scorching ray (and even then you have a massive failure chance unless you also have the additional years of training and luck to be a wizard), let alone one of fireball

[@justnick7691]

@@LucaUmbriel Casting level 1 spells only requires 12 intelligence. That's just a slightly above average person. This would be the equivalent doing pre-algebra

[@MalzraAirwynn]

@@justnick7691 Well, not anymore. Now the spell has to be part of your tradition, or you have some other feat to ignore that. So it's be a spell caster or be someone with a rare skill to bypass such restrictions. That said, just as you can't make someone into a wizard with an afternoon of study a proper Gunslinger has more training than a few hours of teaching someone how to point, shoot and clean a gun too.

[@patrickd1968]

I'm really enjoying the pathfinder lore 101 series. My time is precious and this hits the spot. Thank you.

[@nobodie9996]

Hands down, best pathfinder lore source on KZbin

[@ScapyMaki]

You should do Numeria, alien tech and Dominion of the Black!

[@lordsathariel4384]

[@thomasnrgardjohannsen1573]

Ooooh boy. I was afraid you guys weren't making more videos. Glad to see you're back. No other video has provided me with as much inspiration to my campaign as your videos.

[@otaconpunished]

I made a Revolver Ocelot Gunslinger. Rapid shot is fun with Revolvers and ricochets.

[@TheyDarthElmo]

How have i never heard of this part of Golarion? This sounds awesome. Its like a miniature dark sun WITH GUNS! Also whenever someone says they don't allow guns in a fantasy campaign, because its unrealist for them to be there, my imidate question is do they outlaw rapiers as well since they were invented around the same time if not slightly later.

[@lordsathariel4384]

Facts plus am I to believe these people can learn lovcraftian elder god magic summon devils and daemons from hell and abbadon but no alchemy student has accidentally combined charcoal sulfur an a pinch of salt or phosphorus in over 20000 years with multiple species and planets plus outsiders teaching people things for a price like the daemons of war in their citidel definitely run blackmarket weapons so mortals wipe themselves out quicker

[@fearrection4465]

Nidal would be cool to learn about.

[@thetoweroftomes]

Great work as always!

[@PanicProvisions]

I was never even remotely tempted to play a gunslinger... until now.

[@lewis9574]

so glad you are back

[@RykerDavis123]

I love guns in my settings. Keeps things fresh

[@parkerlarson6692]

I opened up a dnd video not expecting solid snake “Kept you waiting huh”

[@HATEPR00F]

I'm so happy you're back!

[@ArantyrDarkhand]

[@carlosn9080]

SIIIIII... TOMAAAAA!!!

[@3rtmann]

Hey Venture-Captains, at 8:50 you mention the Deathless. Is there any information on them? I can't find anything about them or the ritual. Update: Found this curse-of-the-deathless.obsidianportal.com/wikis/deathless-aspect

Fuck, I thought I was being clever with my whole 4 and 9 thing with my magocracy in my own personal setting, guess not.

WHEN DO IGET THE FREKIN GUNS

[@VentureCaptains]

Hey, I told you, you don't get your gun until you tell me your name.

[@LuizOMenudo]

I. WANT. UPLOADS!

[@VentureCaptains]

Hi, they are coming, sorry about the delay. The most recent episode is actually finished, we're just applying the final revisions and adding subtitles. I'd expect it to release in the next few days.

[@LuizOMenudo]

@@VentureCaptains you've successfully soothed the upload beast

[@nobodie9996]

Wow, lost me at pineapple on pizza... because it's amazing 😋

[@bryzzt]

Are the Deathless canon? I have found very little of them

[@VentureCaptains]

They are but there's very little written about them. they are mentioned on page 75 of the inner sea world guide. cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/427271830617980948/888859569097429032/unknown.png

[@bryzzt]

@@VentureCaptains you are awesome, thank you!

[@Izzo-io2ou]

IMO, Pathfinder has the best world and setting. It pretty much has any senerio you want, which I guess was the point. But, one could take any country and build a world around it if you wanted to. Though, I do think PF was a little bit rule heavy, and I've seen systems that have quicker and more "realilist" combat and character building. As far as D&D goes, it's well on it's way to being a dumpster fire, let's be honest, it's been burning for quite awhile now. Is it me, or does it seem to be dumbed down with each new edition? At this rate, like WH40k, it will not be much more then a board game soon, although one you can now play on the 'puter.

[@OtsegoKid]

Dongunhold... They chose gun. The way they're waved around in Golarian, they'd be better off called Dongs.

[@purpletitan878]

Doesn't Numeria also have guns?

[@VentureCaptains]

Correct! however, due to the nature of the guns in numeria (they were found, not created, and the level of technology is far superior to anything avaliable to engineers in golarion) and the fundamental differences in location and circumstances between Alkenstar and Numeria, we decided that it might be better to cover the numerian gunslingers whenever we cover Numeria. Spoilers, it won't be long, Its one of our favourite chunks of the setting.

[@MagaldiMateus]

And thats why mages are locked up in Dragon Age.

[@lordsathariel4384]

And the funny thing is in pathfinder sorcerers who can't control themselves don't get time to be locked up cus they get themselves killed or accidentally summon something that can kill them like look at what happens if a spellcaster plays with time somehow a aeon showing up is a mercy compared to some things a arcane user can unleash

[@BKPrice]

Oddly enough, I don't like guns in my fantasy but I DO like pineapple on my pizza.

[@willorn]

I actually think a minute is too long

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

Mmmmmm . . . pineapple on pizza . . . .

[@theproteanbro5994]

Personally, I find the notion of "Why use technology when you're got magic?" Pretty stupid. In order to cast fireball, you must be a wizard, you can't cast fireball without being a wizard or aquiring a magic item and having use magic device, in the west, most people have Internet Access, but few people are computer programers, as a ruler it would make much more sense to develop a sewage system than the mass public could use and only have a fraction of people actually responsible for maintaining it than to hire a wizard to gate the sewage of the the Astral plane, as unless you're country can expect to have regularly access to wizards that are powerful enough to do this, you'll only be able to maintain this accommodation for the aristocracy which even if you're a tyrant and care nothing of the welfare of the poor, you still have to compete with other countries and you will be at a disadvantage if they have sewers and you don't.

[@batou1468]

judge dredd was a good movie... just sayin...

[@youcantbeatk7006]

Did you just say firearms have a shorter range than bows in this game? What?

[@VentureCaptains]

Indeed! Keep in mind we are talking about early flintlock weapons, which were notoriously innacurate at long range and didn't do much damage even if they hit at those ranges. Bows on the other hand could reach really far when fired upwards in an arc, and the gravity from the fall would actually improve their odds of piercing armour. The main reason the firearm replaced the bow back then wasn't because it was better but because it was incredibly easier to use. Training an archer takes years and the weapons need an incredible amount of strength to draw which not every peasant who ate meat 2-3 times a year had. A gun on the other hand could be fired by a peasant with a few weeks of training as accurately as anyone could fire early firearms, and they were incredibly good at piercing armour at low-mid range. Not to mention they scared the daylights out of horses who were not properly trained.
