Running Hell's Vengeance for Pathfinder 1 has been the most fun I've had at the table in a long time. Having to justify murder and looting and all those awful things as the good guys sucks the fun out of the game as presented sometimes, so being the bad guys and skipping that step is good fun.

current least favourite player archetype is the guy who says "my character would just do that" when the action is question is refusing to help the team and letting them get killed.

The only thing worse than feeling a creepy crawly on your skin is *not* feeling the creepy crawly on your skin as it hooks into your nervous system and lets its friends know what you're looking at. For Pathfinder 1 and Pathfinder 2.
![Pathfinder Second Edition stat block
Nerve Tick — Creature –1
Traits: Tiny, Beast
Perception :+7; darkvision
Languages: none; bonded telepathy
Skills: Acrobatics +4, Stealth +8
Str –5, Dex +3, Con +1, Int –2, Wis +1, Cha +2
Bonded Telepathy (occult): Over the course of 10 minutes, a nerve tick can form a bond with a willing creature. This bond allows the nerve to communicate telepathically with that creature so long as it is within 30 feet. The nerve tick can maintain any number of these bonds at a time, and can end a bond as a free action.
Nerve Dampening (aura, mental, occult): A nerve tick dampens nerves in a small radius, preventing it from being detected by touch, even when climbing on a creature.
AC: 18, Fort: +5, Ref: +7, Will: +3
HP: 6
Speed: 10 feet, climb 10 feet, fly 25 feet
Melee [A] pincers +4 (finesse, reach 0 feet), Damage: 1d4–1 piercing
Borrow Senses (mental, occult) [AAA] Requirements: The nerve tick is climbing on a creature; Effect: The nerve tick attaches to the required creature’s nervous system, and can sense through the creature’s senses. While attached, it can take no actions other than to detach as a single action. When the nerve tick detaches, or every 10 minutes it remains attached, the creature takes 2d4 mental damage with a DC 13 basic Will save. The creature is aware of this damage, but does not automatically determine the source of the damage.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k2azqpipnb2fu6e6sfybp5zy/bafkreieieq6zihdccu74rpf56mzc7ilen7y5epm2pdlhkyycqfbbgccn2m@jpeg)

Treishines — Creature 4
Traits: Medium, Beast
Perception: +11; darkvision
Skills: Acrobatics +10, Intimidation +12, Thievery +12
Str +1, Dex +5, Con +3, Int –3, Wis +2, Cha +3
AC: 20, Fort: +11, Ref: +13, Will: +9
HP: 70
Speed: 25 feet, fly 15 feet, swim 15 feet
Melee [A]: beak +13 (finesse), Damage 2d6+5 piercing
Goose Trick (attack) [A]: The treishines attempts a Thievery check against the Reflex DC of a creature within reach.
Critical Success: The target is clumsy 2 until until use an Interact action to end the impediment.
Success: As critical success, but the target is clumsy 1.
Critical Failure: The treishines is off-guard until the start of its next turn.
Limited Flight: When a treishines Flies, it must land at the end of the action or fall.
Steal: A treishines can Disarm using any of its beaks. When doing so, it uses Thievery in place of Athletics on the check. On a critically successful Disarm, or on a successful Disarm against an item that’s already been successfully Disarmed, the treishines takes the item from the target and holds the item in its beak.
Three-Headed Flurry [AAA]: The treishines makes a flurry of aggressive moves against a single creature. With each of its three heads, it makes a beak Strike, Disarm, or Goose Trick. All three attacks must be against the same creature. Each attack counts towards the treishines’ multiple attack penalty, but the penalty does not increase until after all attacks have been made.
Triple Honk [AA]: The treishines combines three honks to make a painful cacophony, dealing 5d6 sonic damage to all creatures in a 30-foot cone (DC 19 basic Reflex save). The treishines can’t use Triple Honk again for 1d4 rounds.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k2azqpipnb2fu6e6sfybp5zy/bafkreid4uxuq4tjeh6vtsl42nufnqvv6fvnxyx4oclws2nwvpikyfrufxq@jpeg)

running a pathfinder 2 game after looking back through pf1 content, one of the big downsides of the new pfs scenario layout is that enemy statistics and tactics are nowhere near each other anymore. pf1 scenarios had monster tactics integrated right in the stat block.

Starfinder playtest Empire's Devoured was extremely rough. Over the course of one single module, we had four tpks (all handwaved away except for the final encounter), two of them to PL+2 hazards that dealt a heap of damage each round and required six successes each to disable.

starfinder society regularly features messed up situations like "game show first contact", "saving a guy from texting his exes", and "the failed skill check that makes you do starship combat instantly"

just TPK'd the group i'm running through cosmic birthday + empires devoured for the 3rd time. i would normally try and swerve to avoid it but its playtest stuff so i figured its better to let it play out and then retcon immediately. some of these encounter situations are just brutal though

Seven similar weapons have been found to date, each on a resistance fighter on a different Veskarium- or Azlanti-occupied planet. Each had a different ironic name scrawled on it referring to disagreements on resistance tactics, such as "peaceful protest" or "marketplace of ideas". For Starfinder 2

last night's pathfinder society ended with me being grumpy for the party deciding to make the (probably) correct ethical decision that had the unfortunate side-effect of me getting to bed late

also seeing people writing severely judgemental posts for daring to like some particular Guy i've never heard of without knowing who said Guy is or why they've been cancelled rules honestly
i never had twitter so im not used to the experience of seeing half a dozen followed accounts all complaining about a type of discourse you're not even aware is happening because it's mostly just one Guy getting mad in another Guy's replies and you've never heard of either of them

being a pathfinder gm is about finding the delicate balance between enemy combantants appearing to behave realistically and forcing them to make massive tactical blunders to avoid wiping the party

pathfinder society is rough sometimes. my open online warhorn game went from 6 signups +3 waitlisted two days ago to only three showing up on the day.
worst of all, its the trains scenario. why would anyone miss that

i have this big idea for a starfinder one-shot where you're doing a heist and whenever there's a section with deviating approaches there's a flashback to the planning room to choose which route to go down. "stick to the plan" is the repeated line.
