Why Should you Play Pathfinder? | Throw the Dice

[@alexandersvideopicks8735]

Best game ever. Pathfinder 2 is a nod toward simplicity, like 5e, but for GMs, worldbuilding, story building, backstories, and versatility, this is it. You can play with many rules, classes, spells, and have a complicated game for old hands, or just a few of those and run a pretty streamlined campaign.

[@tempo1889]

Just started playing this by a co-worker. I have never played Dungeons & Dragons or anything like that so I'm brand-spanking-new to all this. Looks like it's going to be a good time though. I am a Half-Orc so I guess I will see how this thing plays out.

[@HollowTale]

I hope it goes well!

[@tempo1889]

@@HollowTale it is extremely confusing for me you have points for this yet points for that subtract a point for this role certain dice for that. I'm basically just doing what I'm told to do.

I started playing tabletop rpgs by playing Zweihander the grim and perilous RPG with my cousins and recently I have my eyes set on Divinity original sin 2 tabletop RPG. and now KZbin recommends this! Truly today is a great day.

[@HollowTale]

Ooh! Very nice! I have been playing/running zweihander for a while now as well. I love it! Really gives me flashbacks to Warhammer fantasy RP 2e!

Can you do this for pathfinder 2e

[@jessmontgomery3454]

My group will likely never stop running 3.5/pathfinder. P2 hasn't really drawn us into it yet. But we dabble in various other systems but always come back to pathfinder.

[@ilfurlano1228]

why am I watching this ? I already play PF

[@xFlareLeon]

Because everyone and their dog is gushing over 5E and decries Pathfinder as 'too crunchy'.

[@NA-AN]

@@xFlareLeon Ouch...

[@barnyfraggles]

Because everyone needs a reminder of why it's the best

[@Attilathepun]

My table runs 3.5e but we throw in Pathfinder content every now and then. We LOVE the backwards compatibility. I just started a Homebrew campaign last week, one of my players rolled up a Pathfinder 1e character (Magus)

[@robertellison4049]

I have only got the beginners box but really like Pathfinder unfortunately don’t have anyone to play the game with and need loads of help to creat characters and so on but I still love this game

[@HollmanOrtizBuitrago]

Pathfinder 1 sigue siendo un excelente juego.

[@Tectonix26]

I'd love to give the new pathfinder playtest material a go! ;)

[@malonemalo]

@Scott Whatever They went 5e part 2, electric bogaloo, and failed to see that people that want to play 5e will play 5e, meanwhile, people that want to play 3.5 or PF 1e will have no new material for it.

[@khyrodon]

Pathfinder will always be special to me. Started playing 3.5 with A group which fell apart but I wanted to continue the story, then found pathfinder and wanted to try it since it offered more opportunities to people who different races, instead of hampering half-orcs who weren’t combat classes. Tried the latest DND system but doesn’t seem to have the same Pathfinder did. Would love to get back to this again , even if I’m a player again.

[@alexsgamingshow2474]

This was a great synopsis video! I plan to run a campaign where all my party members become Gods after taking the Starstone Test! :D

[@alecmullaney7957]

This was really well done dude

[@HollowTale]

Thank you! Really appreciate that. Hope it helped or at the least entertained!

[@GameNotesGN]

Finding this channel very useful thank you sir

[@HollowTale]

No worries at all! Thank you for tuning in! Hope you enjoy the videos!

[@hjkljhhkl]

My real only gripe about pathfinder is late lvl when there are so many buffs being cast. Haste, good hope, greater magic fang, bardic performance, bull strength, blah blah blah... makes it difficult to keep track of every buff you have and then yo add it all up on top of your roll can slog the game

[@calvinhayman7597]

Can you talk about the dark herresy game 40ks rpg it’s so different from most games it’s truly unequ

[@HollowTale]

I can certainly take a good look at it! I will need time to run it/read it but once I am more informed I can do a video on it for sure! Any suggestions on where to start reading from book wise? Just the core?

[@calvinhayman7597]

Hollow Tale check out ego queen Alexis she is actually playing a game and she streams it every Sunday on her channel. There’s also a large backlog of episodes.

[@HollowTale]

Sounds like a great place to start! Thank you! It won't be too soon as I have a few videos planned but after I've had time to research things I will definitely make a video on it! I do enjoy the Warhammer universes!

[@Tectonix26]

I've heard some awesome reviews about the system, I take it you'd recommend it too? I've tried out Deathwatch and Only War, but I hear neither of them are as praised haha

[@Artemisthemp]

I really wish Pathfinder had something simular to DDB since I would really like to try a Kitsune but learning the rules is a bit hard with the limited free time I have.

[@VeylmanTheRock]

tldr: First time playing, bad at talking (especially on the spot). Does this limit my choice of character because I have to act as them? (grunting feral Orc vs articulate Gnome witch) I've been approached by a friend of mine to play Pathfinder 1e in a group with him as DM (this is both our first time playing a tabletop) and what gives me the most trouble besides learning all the information is the decision on which character to make. It's not like I don't have ideas but I feel like I can only play the characters I'd be decent acting as. I'm not very good at expressing myself in spontaneous ways (at least not without resorting to my already limited vocabulary and speaking skills) and that feels lke a prerequisite to have, since pretty much all the game is interacting with other people and in character. There's also the fact that I have pretty bad social anxiety (if I didn't know any of the people I'm playing with I wouldn't even agree to playing) compared to most people and acting in front of them without preparing my sentences beforehand is the worst case of being put on the spot for me. I'm prone to overthinking and since this is all our first time playing maybe we don't need to act in character yet but It takes me a long time warming up. I'm confident I can play a convincing feral orc but I'd also like to play a female gnome witch with a bit of an attitude and smarts (grunting vs eloquent) Maybe you can ease my worries a bit (or anyone reading for that matter). Love your videos!

[@jdogtag567]

Three years later and with pathfinder 2e out, are you still playing pathfinder 1e?

[@thegenxgamerguy6562]

Would love to play this but we have no friends to play with. We're only two.

[@F2t0ny]

That's possible if you're both very into character and roleplay but difficult if not as without the need to discuss plans with other players, a single player can sprint through content.

[@doodleslordoflowiq9199]

If pathfinder is a 7/10 of complexity is there anything you would say is a 10/10

[@connarcomstock161]

Pathfinder + Elephant in the Room + Unchained Action Economy + Third Party Content

[@connarcomstock161]

It's GM, not DM in PF.

[@30noir]

Who have run* not who have ran.

[@omgddd]

disliked just because i feel that you didn't read/play Pathfinder Unchained. It does not expand the game. It's a different game, incompatible with the other books.

[@NinePillar]

Still the best. DnD has become a pansy glorified Disney Marvel system while Pathfinder 1e remains complex, customizable, and deadly.
