Pathfinder 2nd Edition is a tactical, crunchy and highly customizable heroic fantasy roleplaying game system published by Paizo. Originally released in 2019 as the evolution of the Pathfinder system (which grew out of the D&D 3.5 system, as a reaction to the release of the simplified and more video game-like D&D 4E). The system recently received a comprehensive "Remaster" overhaul, which decoupled the game from the legacy Open Game License (OGL), moving it to the system-agnostic ORC License. The Remaster version has updated various terminology and streamlined different conflicting mechanics, the core engine of PF2E remains exactly the same as before. Description Like other d20-based fantasy games, players are an adventuring party that go on adventures, defeat enemies and uncover various mysteries while the Game Master (GM) is in charge of running the world around the characters and is in control of managing any enemies and non-player characters they might encounter. However, where D&D 5E leans heavily on "rulings over rules" and simplicity, Pathfinder 2E has shifted its focus on customization and making sure that with every system balance is maintained. Pathfinder 2E is ideal for players who are more into tactical combat, clear rules for exploration, and the ability to build unique character concepts with a reasonable amount of customization without accidentally breaking the game or worry too much about maintaining balance. The system comes with great tools for the GMs as the system provides clear guidelines and mechanics for most situations, meaning the GM rarely has to invent or interpret rules on the fly to keep the game moving. System Overview & Key Features The 3-Action Economy Pathfinder 2E is famous for their action system. Instead of pre-defined action types, the player can perform creatively distribute their actions how they see fit. Instead of always having a "move action" that the character can utilize or leave unused, the system allows a character to instead use that action as an extra attack. Or instead of attacking, the adventurer can move twice (or thrice, if using all actions). Degrees of Success Instead of approaching "1" or "20" on the d20 die as a critical result, The system considers "oversucceeding" as a critical success. Succeeding a roll by 10 or more points it is automatically a Critical Success. If you miss the DC by 10 or more, it is a Critical Failure. Because of this, every single +1 or -1 improvement feels more impactful and important. Feat-Based Character Customization There are no "useless level-ups" Every single level-up players make meaningful choices by selecting from an extensive assortment of Ancestry Feats, Class Feats, Skill Feats, and General Feats. This creates a situation, where even two characters of the same class can be played completely differently. Reliable Encounter Building The game's underlying math is rigorous and highly functional. An encounter mathematically classified as "Severe" will actually push the party to their limits. GMs can trust the system's encounter building rules completely. Keyword and Trait System Spells, weapons, and abilities have specific traits (like "Incapacitation" or "Fire"). If a rule has a trait, it consistently interacts with the rest of the game's mechanics in the exact same way, removing ambiguity. Edicts and Anathema PF2e has abandoned the traditional moral alignment system. Deities and classes are governed by Edicts (things your character must strive to do) and Anathema (things you must avoid), creating a more nuanced approach to roleplaying.

Rollful is a hosted dice-rolling API. It rolls dice over HTTP: a request carries a formula, and Rollful parses it, rolls each die through a cryptographically secure generator, and returns every die it rolled rather than only the total. It is not tied to any game system. It knows what 4d6kh3 means and nothing about what the caller uses it for, so it suits a virtual tabletop, a character sheet, a Discord bot, or anything else that needs a roll it can show the working for. The formula grammar covers flat modifiers, advantage and disadvantage, keeping the highest or lowest dice, exploding and penetrating dice, multipliers, several terms in one roll, and tags. The response lists every die with a flag saying which ones counted, so an interface can show the die a keep rule dropped instead of hiding it. A GET request handles a plain formula. POST adds bonuses and tags, and a batch endpoint takes up to 20 rolls in one request. Every response and error has the same documented shape, described by an OpenAPI 3.1 document. There is no account and no API key. Usage is rate limited rather than metered. The homepage carries a form for rolling dice straight from the browser. Rollful is powered by the OpenDice npm package, which is free to use directly in any JavaScript or TypeScript project.

We admit. This Update log comes a "bit" late. But for good reasons. We've been busy, busy working on Groupfinder. After all, we reached 10,000 users and the platform is actively growing. New people are discovering Groupfinder and adding their player profiles or using it to look for their games. For your constant and reliable support, we are very grateful. Thank you to all of you. So lets take a look at what were the main updates and improvements in September. Groupmanager The group managing side of the platform is evolving and growing. We have introduced a number of various tweaks and improvements to make it an even better tool for you and your group. Tiles Multiple new tiles have been added to the Groupmanager, allowing groups to add rulebooks, characters and monsters (from Roll20 and D&D Beyond) to the dashboard of your group's page. You have full control over what you find necessary and useful and what makes the manager useful to you. If you like the concept of the tiles but dont see one that matches your need - you can simply build your own and add it to the tiles library. Your Groupmanager dashboard is yours - customize it by adding relevant tiles to your particular group or game. /images/general-media/1792593736_15rGmolf.png Various other improvements and tweaks have been implemented to make the whole dashboard easier to use and giving the GMs more control over what users can have access to and what you want to keep private. State of tabletop We also posted an updated version of our user analysis in the form of "State of tabletop - 2026". Looking at what you are using Groupfinder for - which game systems, what format and how the ratio of players-to-games looks like. It is definitely an interesting read - and anyone curious about numbers and data is more than welcome to take a look and see what conclusions we were able to make. Messenger and chat The messenger has undergone quite a few design changes - making it more modern and user friendly. The initial approach needed proper love and care. We finally got around to refreshing the way the messenger feels and behaves. Including various performance improvements to help make it even better. Getting in touch with groups or players is now even easier and familiar with how the messengers on other platforms work. Player profiles Players can now find the "Additional info" tab in their player profile page. There you can fill questionnaires to determine your playstyle and preferences, making it easier for others to see what kind of a player you are and whether you'd be a good fit for their game. You can also list your previous game history to give you a space to show off all the games you've been a part of. /images/general-media/1792593833_yNKIsawr.png In addition to the Additional info tab, you will also find a "Characters" tab. If you are waiting to play a specific character concept, feel free to show it off to others. Either to better show others what kind of characters you are planning to play. Or just show off characters you've played in the past. If a character you've created has a themesong or music. Add that as well - give the readers the full experience of who that character is. The Library We have redesigned multiple parts of the library to bring everything up to date with the various bits and pieces that were updated in the past. More tools, game systems, creators and events have been added. And you can suggest more for us to add if you feel like there is something still missing. More focus and room has been given to projects to post updates and news for their projects. Either a new podcast episode gets released, a major update to the tool platform or just something to let others know you are still actively working on it. And more There have been other, smaller server-side improvements to make sure the platform stays fast, easy to use and mostly bug-free. And various tweaks in different parts of the platform that, while important and necessary, would eventually make this Update log too long. Some of those updates were implemented in October, some updates that are live will be discussed in next month's Update log. As this log gets posted a bit later than we'd like, it sits in a weird limbo between September and October. But again, thank you for being here, using Groupfinder and hopefully telling others about the platform. Till next time
