Who can you trust in Westeros?Nobody, that’s who. That’s a trick question. We all know that literally nobody can be trusted any further than you can comfortably stab them with a poisoned dagger.

So far, most of the previews for Pathfinder 2nd edition have focused on characters and what they’re capable of and how they work. But, while for a player, the character is everything.

Your character. If you’re not the DM, it’s pretty much everything you have in an RPG. So, it’s important that your character is built the way you want. But how do you go about making one? That’s an extremely important question, and one that’s answered in this article from Piazo about building characters in Pathfinder…
So, later this week is a holiday for us here in the US. I’ll be taking some time off, so it’s actually really helpful that Modiphius is letting us know about some releases they’ll be having on the 4th. Lets me still tell you about it, while I’ll be BBQing and making things explode. Anyway,…

You’re just hanging out with your buddies at work. You’ve got things going well. When some group of murder-hobos come in and start stabbing everyone! How rude!

Coming up with a world as a GM is really tough. There’s about a million things to try and figure out, and it can all get very complex very fast. It’s much easier to leave that to someone else and then bask in their creativity as you take your adventurers around. Welcome to Tikor is…
