War of Immortals: A Review for Pathfinder 2e
Hello Travelers & Tourists!
Recently, Paizo sent me a Review PDF of the newest book for Pathfinder 2nd Edition - War of Immortals (which is releasing next week at the end of October)! I want to say a huge thanks to Paizo for giving me this opportunity to review their new product! However, as always, all views expressed in one of my review videos are entirely my own. Paizo did not attempt to influence this review in any way.
In this video, I want to dive into what the book War of Immortals is all about - and talk about what you can expect if you pick this product up! War of Immortals covers a lot of ground: discussing the death of Gorum, the start of the eponymous War of Immortals, the event...

Hello Travelers & Tourists! Today, I have a weird, off-the-wall build that was inspired mostly by my brain's inability to read.

    I was hoping that instead of "some of the content that is Game Master facing is the kind of content that players shouldn't be reading, because if they do it could kind of destroy the mystique of the game" was instead going to end "because IT WOULD OVERLOAD AND OBLITERATE THEIR FEEBLE, MORTAL MINDS". Oh well.

    I like the Android Ancestry with the exception of them having to breathe air. This makes them closer to Blade Runner type synthetic androids than machine androids since in many a SciFi movie an android is able to traverse the vacuum of space or a toxic atmosphere either to help or harm organic lifeforms. Very surprised they don't even give a feat that gives this ability. A feat for a hour of breathable air is just silly. This very much breaks the immersion of being an artificial lifeform.

    Given that Paizo is moving away from what made it popular, which is dramatic heroic fantasy, I much prefer the PF1 version of Dragons Empire / Tian Xia. Today, Tian Xia is presented to us as a travel brochure, with rowing contests of smiling people and happiness. Full of whimsy and cutsie. Gone are the representations of stern samurai courageously facing the threat of a dragon, or shinobis who are about to fall on unaware adventurers. The target audience now are the Critters and Gen-Z gamers.

    Personally I just wish this revision... remaster... whatever you want to call it had a proper name to set it apart and prevent confusion, and that this name was printed clearly on the covers of these books. "2.5 edition" sounds perfectly find to me, but if someone wants to make it a lower decimal, sure, whatever you like. "2.1 edition" still works to set it apart. The rule changes aren't as minor as some have put it, at least to me. Things like ditching alignment are unique and interesting changes to really set it apart with it's own identity even better, but not insignificant. A lot of people are calling this "2E remaster" now, and that's fair enough. That'll work to set it apart, but much like how everyone's now calling the new D&D "2024 edition", it would help a lot better if the related companies just had that distinct name printed on their books. It makes it so much easier for new players to shop for things like this without getting confused and buying the wrong edition thinking they're getting a good deal.

    Great topic for a video! A couple reasonable hungers for a mummy would be "wealth" or simply acquiring more loot and treasure to keep in your tomb. Another good fit would be "revenge", with the mummy PC being compelled to curse and chase down some NPC that entered their tomb. Both fit well with typical adventurer backstories, while having a unique flavor.
