As mentioned in the video, I'll do a side by side comparison between Bestiary, Bestiary 2, and Bestiary 3 vs what they decided to do in Monster Core. Do you have any inside information you can share?
Every time you do one of these videos (when something new like this comes out), I absolutely have to watch it. Thank you so much for doing these. I stumbled upon your channel around the time Pathfinders second edition came out and I loved the information you gave on it. God bless.
Thanks for the kind words! I try and keep things "real" and informative while also posing questions. I try to to bridge the gap between design, player, and DM as well.
I like the concept of the Monster Core having a majority of the creatures you'd find in the classic fantasy and use in a variety of areas and situations and then the regional books can dive further into the creatures more unique to those areas. As an example: If I were to create an adventure with themes similar to 'The Mummy' I'd just need to dig through Monster Core and a book like - Lost Omens: The Golden Road for quick encounter ideas.
I am old 54 years old like you I have grown up with this stuff. I dont' get the monster grab and push and things they changed. I don't have the new books, except on roll20. I am whinning about having to buy all new books, especailly the pdfs I bought. Couldn't they do an update like when you buy a DLC?
It's lame tbh. I'm losing interest in P2e big time. It's just book bloat. The system is good but the adventure paths are gimicky. Give me Desert of Desolation, Vault of the Drow. I want to be afraid. The good thing about Pathfinder is ALL of the rules are free on Archives of Nethys, but that website is a huge pain to navigate.
