Impressions so far: the game is quite fun. It also feels like a fucking clown show.

So there is this World Wound - a passage to the abyss that is littered with demons. Obviously only the most dedicated and zealous holy warriors would want to fight against something like that. We've all met crusading warriors popping-up here and there in many RPGs, but now we can see what they're up to when they really mean business. So what kind of people will join player on this epic quest to the biggest demonic invasions of all time? So, there's a woman who's writing an encyclopedia, she doesn't really give a shit. There's also that Assimar who was too busy having orgies with his butt-buddies to notice that demons are destroying the city. Also a Tiefling who's mostly interested in stealing shit. There is also a mutant boy, an autistic witch girl and a young noblewoman. They just happened to be in town. Finally we have a Paladin girl who stole her armor and is doing this Paladin shit to get popular.

I mean, where are guys like Kheldorn, Anomen, Durance, Harrim, Valerie, Aribeth and so forth? Nobody wants to fight demons for religious reasons or to help people? You could switch the cast of characters with any party-based RPG at random and the companions would fit the game better.


Your crusaders are pride parade carousals. A demon twink here, a literal semen demon there, a confused man pretending to be a woman, some rich thot with extreme fetishes etc etc.

So has anyone figured out how to get to that chest guarded by a shadow demon?
The one in the basement?
Detect invisibility or some similar shit to spot the fucker, and then you need to hit him very hard with weapons.
Don't have anything that works, neither spell nor scroll atm. Worth a bother to backtrack later or is the loot meh anyway?

People ( writers ) should really learn from the best when they are trying to do grimdark and serious games. They should look into Iron Tower games, Battle Brothers, Black Company books, Prince of Thorns, and maybe even Hemingway. Less is more, alas they are paid per word.

People who really want to help are volunteering at their local soup kitchen, knocking on doors for progressive challengers in regional elections, or helping to unionize their workplace. Killing demons doesn't improve society, improving society does.

I hope it's not some sort of a funny prank. I'd hate to find vide a video titled "I got a bunch of nerds to play most pozzed game ever made to the end".

You should have looted a See Invisibility and a Glitterdust scroll precisely on a corpse in the same room you are supposed to fight the sneaky fucker.
Oh, and be sure you have something that does "phantom/incorporeal damage" or whatever it is called.
Like your talking weapon pal or Cammalia's weapon buff.

Golarion is not grimdark or serious. Doesn't matter the setting.
And don't give them any advice please. I don't want Russian fanfic girls giving me their take on Hemingway.

And for Black Company, I fear that dialogue with Wenduag and Camelia is what these writers "believe" to be such content.

They should have continued to write chars like linzi, jubi, nok, etc.

To be honest, this is kind of stupid in the world of working magic and dragons. If you ever read GRRM you might have remembered what happened on the Field of Fire.

He is a mongrel made from Desiderius and Pink Eye.

Thing is, my party is only big enough for one stereotypical do-gooder Paladin Crusader big cheese. First opportunity I get, this bitch is gone. Let her holy-roll some other poor sap's adventuring party, I don't need her help. Hit the bricks, lady.
A suitable replacement will pop-up midway through Chapter 2. Along with another if your following the path of death.

Is this just shitposting or a reference to something that really happened in PnP Pathfinder? I can no longer tell.

This whole game makes me ask myself 1 question: Would I have wanted all the SJWisms in the 1st chapter and then slowly going towards nothing, or have the first 5 chapters cool, and the last 1 full of it?

You guys think Anonymous Wife Scholar needs help? Like, there's actually a "Help! I was kidnapped by Martians and they're lubing up the probe as I type this!" message encoded somewhere in that drivel?
Alas, 4chan brainrot is irreversible.
