You can also get the Demo and License through STEAM for those that like to keep their downloads together. As i showed someone this week I recommend that people download, try or watch videos of play before sticking with a vtt. Also the preference depending can vary greatly with GM/Player or to what extent you wish to take your table top experience.

SO I use two modules, Wall height & Levels. It makes it easy to build multiple levels and stairs or elevators going up and down. So, base Foundry for me will have 4 buttons(token,measure,drawing,journal) each of those will have a secondary row when clicked but they are all hover for label and have tool tips that pop up with them. You can also turn off drawing. R20 has 6 and some options under half. I will agree that Foundry has a learning Curve, more so like always for the GM. But I find this as a Pathfinder Player because, like everywhere, priority support is for newer systems. But I had to put in all the codes and buffs for R20. So if you can figure that out Foundry should be no problem to people. I reccommend having them look at the web page for Foundry. There is a DEMO game you can log into as a player. Its PF2 but it will let you see the settings and how the system generally works. There are also games on YT and other people that show around the system.

Its not I have thrown up maps for my at home 5e game, where I use this on my table, while im setting the scene so it only takes a minute or so.

It is 2025 im sure they will invent a transplant soon. But trust me If i can play im sure anyone will be fine. There are lots of players. As long as people are willing to share the spotlight and play the agreed game, rules, i think anyone can play.

Thank you.

I agree, althgough PF1e is on a weird spot now that 2e dropped. but pf1e is still my ol beloved... so many numbers

@@DungeonDex-sk7dk Honestly? i think pf2 is such drastically different game that it appeals (at large) to different audience

So I'll try to do a video about this. You can do a search and see other showing content. When it comes to learning curve, it does have one. But it's mostly as much of one as you want it to be. You can set it up like free roll 20. Put on map, drop tokens and erase fog as they go. If you want to use the token vision you need to make sure there is lights and have to put walls down. When it comes to copying, not that I know of.

I will have a video popping upon 1-21 as an answer to your question and another that is me talking while watching part of a video of me walling in a map for one of my pathfinder games in FOUNDRY. Hope that helps.

@@GMCoblin Thanks

Ill try to remember to next time.

Cool, I have never seen this. I am deff a gamist with narrative pull as a GM. This goes along with how I dont believe that a GM can cheat. I dont make sure that everything is strict with NPC's, not that I want to cheat my players but that I want to give them something good mechanically or give them something narrative wise that i otherwise couldnt do..

So i have not played in a few weeks or so but I moved from the curses for tanking. I use controlling rake instead of shield to help control the pulls better in 2 stars. I use morale boost and focus on collision with with fierce clash. Clash lets me collision prone weaker mobs so I can help stun mobs in an area for dps or just use it to push mobs off bridges for when my shield rush is down.

Yeah> I have 1 game that is 5e, they are super casual players so I want our limited time to be as easy as can be and they dont want to have to learn newer rules. My other groups just stick with PF1. Really, I like some of the things in PF1 and have even looked to it as a way to balance any changes or custom things I have done in PF1 because I view content in PF1 that was not visited again or changed and see how it evolved in their new system in comparison. I do love the PF1 system as it lets me mix in anything I miss from my old 3.5days and has such a diverse creation system that lets you get out as much as you put in to your creation.

That is Foundry. We have used it for 2 years as it is, in my opinion, the best for PF1. There are lots of systems out there and some work better with other systems due to integration but I prefer Foundry. Lets me do field and spell effects, keep track of everything I need, upgrade and create tokens,monsters. I host it on a site called Forge and if you are looking for a Virtual Table Top you should check it out.

@GMCoblin thank you for the reply and for the information!

Thanks. I run into this alot with my LONG time group. Deep RP is hit or miss and sometimes you have to read between the lines on what they as a character would have talked with party members. Its just they come to the game for one kind of release or entertainment and not everyone is searching for the same thing.

@GMCoblin and what they're looking for can change from session to session or even hour to hour. people are complicated sometimes.

And it upholds even for 2025. I play to make more PF1 videos as its what my friends and I still all play. Just had lots of home time with family.

You're welcome!

yeah. I mostly play PF1 so support is limited but not bad. . Its more work but its faster than using using sheets and what we have being 1200+miles apart.

@@GMCoblin Exactly, distance is the main reason we are all using Foundry at the moment. Each one of my friends lives in a different location, hours apart from each other. So we put up with the imperfections. Which thankfully get reduced with modules but everything mostly works. We're happy with it.

@Xegethra I have 2 that really love paper sheets. My wife who needs the calculations. But I try and make it worth it by using keys and interactive puzzles and using sight a lot.

My goblins have stolen my mind and left me behind. So now i sit in this chair a GM in forever despair.

I should do a break down of what most people consider needed for every party. As well as some creative alternatives. I have a friend that is BIG into having his bases covered when you make new parties.

LOL. Sorry about that. I just always call PF1 Pathfinder and add the 2 when I talk about pf2.

Yeah its great. And they are changing met shortly with some of the weapon changes, that I think are coming with this month. Not by much but healers for sure.

Say, dont know. Spell, well I didn't even notice that. While the title has been fixed. Thank you. The thumbnail will remain as a reminder.

i got blue gear sns wand and im 3.2k xD

O i know. I started into purple too early when i started and I learned how hard it was going to be i traited out my other blue and decided i wasnt in much of a rush. The build is solid and current pve stuff is pretty easy. I never find time to join in my guilds pvp right now. SO i dont worry. And traiting my mistakes are getting cheaper every day.

O how slow we kill. somtimes. I have to admit im playing around with a 3rd weapon option. Mostly to amuse me. But, to mob when Im solo I use most the same passive and swap in Vampiric, you can grap devotion and wraiths. You will use Touch of despair, corrupted circle, time for punishment to either amp your abilities with enchanting time or single debuff, cursed nightmare and karmic haze. Use curse explosion when you have 3 stacks on touch and most your mobs are cursed, I use chaotic shield defense to help with that. And i use corrupted magic circle. I keep piercing strike for area melee, counter barrier, i can throw in annihilating slash, have used shot at victory(with area addon) and and I have used controlling rake to drag ranged to my group. I tend to not have to use an emergency heal or run out of mana with vampiric and selfless. Groups feel much better than single targets thats for sure. and it has a bit of a setup for the group.

Thanks. So, sometimes it feels too much depending on the group. but this lets me swap some of the defence for their offensive version. And i do have a "Cleric" version, i mostly just add clay. I find either I need the heal because something happens or its over kill and everyone ends the fight at full.

Yeah, great for single target. I have used it before. Also for solo if you switch it to enchanting time it will target you for the buff. I tend to swap several of my skills for things like cursed nightmare and karmic haze or whatever I think ill need coming up. This is just generally what I use recently.

@@GMCoblin I just found out how amazing unlucky cloak is, the more curse stacks the enemy has, the higher damage corpse explosion does.

Yeah my big group is still a PF1 fan, But i much prefer pf2 to 5e. but my only group with 5e I find it easier to play and teach. They are novices to ttrpg. Aside from BG3 for one of them.

just click on compass icon on top right cornenr of the minimap. thats your switch

I also have a keybinding I used for it.

Thanks.

We dont. My guys wanted to stick with PF1. I like some of it, and use to to change, add things. and may use for some custom things in my main game. My group is real partial to pf1 action econ as well.

Thank you. That means a lot.

They are here to help.

Same!

So, thats kind of an issue. There are classes that are arguably better than others. But It depends on what you want to do. I recommend people find what they like, something that sounds cool and see what class fits to that or does what they want the best and go from there. And there are enough rules, archetypes and classes that you can find something that fits. Unchained monk generally is better than regular monk. Core Rogue is worse because if you want something done right, there is a class that can do it better. I have seen T5 classes out dps and be the star of the party. And I have seen T1 full casters just feel like they couldnt do anything. I think if you want a list, we should put a heading on it that says "For this purpose " choose these classes.

I plan on doing some advanced or 3p stuff. The tier list was a from a post I saw recently where someone was too worried about class tiers. I started to post things to get newer people into the hobby. Did eitr, may do something with spheres soon with kineticist videos I want to make.

I love occultist and kineticist. I'm going to do some class build videos for more optimal archetypes for classes. It's one of the things that comes up in my groups when people are looking at what to play.

Agree. My current big game is a custom world, built and changed, from rules to lore by my players and I. We use custom feat and skill rules.

@@GMCoblin Yep. It works great. There are a lot of systems that are fun to play, but I like PF1 the best for that.

Paths are great. The first full one I did was run Rise of the Rune Lords.

I agree. I love it. The danger of the possible death. Where even at higher levels my players know it's too dangerous to be stupid. And I have some friends that don't like the over powered possibility in the game. But I tell them. You get what you put in. Either way the plethora of character possibilities is endless. I can spend my time just making characters.

Pf2 is great. I did not get my main group to try it. We still do pf1. But it is more balanced I think in characters which leads itself to easier encounter creation at levels and the worrying of breaking something when we home brew. Encounters for pf1 for me is more a feel for my party, art. Have no fear I will endeavor to remind you of the seasons long since past as you march forward. PF2 is a fine system. I actually look to it, as a way to see creators minds and progression when I change something or add something in pf1.

@@GMCoblin Your comment about 'feel for my party' is well taken. I found in the 12-16 range (usually my campaigns were running down by 16-17) I had to really specifically build to give my more 'roleplayer-y' players to have a spotlight and not have my more 'min/max-y' players not rule every encounter (social/explore/combat). It was really hard and like any system the players will come up with things that you haven't prepared for.

Bon appetit.

O yeah. There are a few Sphere of power sites out there too.

It's great to have Licensed content inbound and will let people see how Foundry can really shine.

Thanks. I had a lot of issues when I started the videos and have a better mic, that usually dosnt fail me along with video. I am going to revisit some of my earlier videos and probably do some of them better eventually since I Think I can do them better and Originally started this because I wanted to have more PF1 content created.

​@@GMCoblinI, for one, very much appreciate seeing some fresh Pathfinder first edition content on the internet! and I agree that your stuff is very good and deserves to have the best quality so people can enjoy it! thank you for making it!

LOL. its probably one of my kids.

Yeah, Elephant in the room is our most common. We have used str for some characters for intimidation. I will be removing the language feature from linguistics so my characters dont know 20 languages. It invalidates some class features and spells. Also, instant learning of a language can bee too convenient. I say if its something everyone has to have in that niche or if you find that a play style is almost never done then there is something that can be fixed. I talk it over and we try stuff.

@@GMCoblin awesome - many thanks 🙏🏿

It really is!

your channel is GREAT!!

Yeah. I started on 2e and loved 3.5 then pathfinder for how they changed it. I use 5e to teach people and a couple groups i have prefer it but I mostly do Pathfinder. PF2e is cool and keeps to more of the feel but I prefer the old action system, Though I have changed a few things as we have gone, pulling from PF2 changes. In some cases using the direction they went with the rules for a idea of any open holes they left when they stopped PF1.

System knowledge is very much rewarded. This is where another player, my power gamer, and I try to assist any other players with ideas if they want. I try to target everyone's strengths so they can all feel special. My groups are pretty good to not try and step on anyone else or overshadow someone.

@GMCoblin my group can work around it isn’t really dealing with the issue. If it was so simple as everyone do their own things and don't outshine somebody doing their own thing, 5E forums wouldn't be full of balance issues from DMs.

The open material was refreshing. The content is massive and my wife goes through that with the system. So many choices. I'm just glad it's easier to look up stuff than when I started RPGs.

I pulled from it to 3.5 when it first came out. And years later I had a friend that requested we try a total switch while getting back into TTRPGs and I have never looked back.

Thank you. We are big PF1 fans here. You are one of the reasons I started doing this some last year. In hopes of getting others to try and come back to 1st edition. I have found since starting this that we are not alone. There are a few still devoted to 1st and I have even ran across people that did earlier editions of DND.

I LOVE your channel!!!!
