Because there's been some talk about not having enough content creators in the #Pathfinder2e space on Youtube I'd like to raise my hand and submit for your viewing my video on basic encounter design for the system.
Not begging for views but the numbers encourage more of it.

Cam is an awesome human and game dev!
As this horrible year draws to a close and my big plans of getting enough consultant/design gigs to replace my steady full time income haven’t really manifested I’m asking for a little help.
I’ve got a couple of paid gigs I’m working on but if you’d like to contribute in some way see next message!

I was on a routine expedition with my family when we met the greatest earthquake ever known.

After receiving a full pardon from the governor I found a great deal on a trailer in Malibu and just haven’t had a good reason to get a real job yet.

1000% agree.
"concisely describe a game to let them know if it is for them."
This was my entire methodology when I was a games retailer. "Selling" doesn't work, if you convince someone to buy something they aren't actually into, you're more likely to turn them off of games entirely.

One fun thing at Pax was describing The Wildfire Trilogy. Many people upon hearing the pitch were left cold. Not a problem, because for those who it was for, you could see their faces instantly light up, and they very consistently bought it thereafter. But the buying wasn't the point...

Ooooooo
Blood of the Covenant is a game about mercy and justice, about trying to uphold conflicting ideals, about authority and power and how we use it. Angels guide a lone knight through a quest, oaths are made and broken, and the sword hangs over it all. Available in playtest edition now.
Blood of the Covenant - Playtest Edition by Owl Knight Games, by Jennifer Adcock
Guide a knight on a holy quest, balancing oaths to kings and gods, mercy and justice.
