I’m not nearly as, skeptical about this as I was 5 E and look at how well that’s doing.

In this Box Breaking Matt takes a look at the Starfinder Core Rulebook Collection from Paizio. I like what they have done with some of the races and the look they give to some of the new classes.

Thanks in advance for watching – I know a lot of you have missed the pawns videos, and I’m sorry I haven’t been doing as many of them.

In this episode of Role-Play Ramblings Matt talks with guest Jason Bulmahn at Gen Con 2016 about how to introduce romance into your game sessions.

 

I always have a good time talking with Jason Bulmahn.  This was certainly no exception.  Being a GM for my teenage boys you can only imagine what kind of trouble I’m stirring up with potions of love.

In this episode of Role-Play Ramblings Matt discusses spotlighting. Which is the art of allowing player characters shine at the right point in time for them to become integral to the story.

I have been GMing for about 30 years and I still find this to be one of the most difficult things to do!

To start Season two of Role-Play Ramblings Matt talks about the importance of note taking in an RPG.  He covers who should takes notes and  when some of the better times for taking them are.

 

 

I had a lot of fun filming this episode.  It took me a lot longer than I thought it would to play three people, but I had a blast.  I hope to do more like this in the future.

In this session on creating character Matt talks about the BIG 3, or if you prefer the influences that help your character make decisions.

 

I’ve been having a lot of fun with this and I hope you have been too.

Matt Looks at the Advanced Class Guide for Pathfinder .  It features 10 new classes.   Many of these are mergers that are basically “templated” multi-classes  that are ready for the players to move on without wasting time on too many decisions.  my favorite two are the Bloodrager and the Investigator.  The Bloodrager barbarism with sorcery, while the investigator mixes alchemy with a rogue.  the book also introduces new archetypes, prestige classes, feats, spells, equipment and a chapter on designing your own classes.

 

 

I will be writing a full review in the seven to fourteen  days.
