So this is just me kinda testing the waters based off an earlier thread.

Let's say someone with an admin tag who's username starts with R runs a PF2 game. What would you like? Are you wanting an established adventure? Something more bespoke?

I would usually line up the privilege of choosing what to run to the person volunteering to run it. Ideally if you wanted to put more of a focus on potential smutter-y you're best bet is probably going to be something more urban focused, for which... I'm pretty sure there's a handful of Pathfinder campaigns for just that.

OK, let me try to add a bit more coherency to my desires with a series of fun questions for any applicant!

1) What is your experience with PF2? All comers apply, but it helps mt to know if I'm dealing with newbies, or more seasoned players.

2) I'm likely to run a lower/medium smut game - Smut can and probably will happen, but it might be mainly player driven as I'm not usually the type to run horny monsters. Will that be an issue? Also I can't exactly cater to every player kink/want.

3) If you are familiar with the PF2 adventures, or are interested in any of the major PF2 campaigns, let me know & let me know which ones. If we do a published adventure, I am highly likely to be inclined to run Season of Ghosts.

4) If I use the free archetypes houserule, will this be an issue for you as a player?

5) If we don't use an official campaign, would you prefer to use Golarion or a more bespoke/custom made setting for an adventure? I will likely have player participation if we use a custom setting as I probably don't want to do 100% of the work myself.

6) Are you looking for more combat & door kicking, or something more social heavy?

7) Would you have an issue with a Discord server for this game & easier communication?

8) Most of my aesthetics will likely be based off of anime or similar media & aesthetics. Will that be a dealbreaker?

9) Is there any issue with using pathbuilder to build and store sheets for you?

10) PF2 is highly reliant on a map with a grid to represent more tactical play and it doesn't play well with theater of the mind as a system. As such, it's highly likely that we'll need to have some sort of map or VTT For the game. The VTT we use will primarily be used for well, maps. The main game will be played & posted on BMR. Will this be an issue for any potential players? The main one I'm looking at is Owlbear Rodeo, but if I do run, I'll try to use whatever the group wishes to use.

I dunno, I'm kinda feeling this out a bit, I definitely know I need to give a bit more information on what I'm running or would like to do thoughhhhhhhh.

Not Sure if Rise of the Rune Lords was redone for PF2 but that would be fun to paly. Or the King Maker adventure path not sure of its name
 
1) What is your experience with PF2? All comers apply, but it helps mt to know if I'm dealing with newbies, or more seasoned players.
  • New to PF2e, not new to TTRPG. Have 20 years of experience under my belt in the hobby in general.

2) I'm likely to run a lower/medium smut game - Smut can and probably will happen, but it might be mainly player driven as I'm not usually the type to run horny monsters. Will that be an issue? Also I can't exactly cater to every player kink/want.
  • Smut won't bother me, look at what site I'm one. However, depending on the group, I may not participate in said smut. Just depends on the group. Much prefer monsters that aren't horny, though.

3) If you are familiar with the PF2 adventures, or are interested in any of the major PF2 campaigns, let me know & let me know which ones. If we do a published adventure, I am highly likely to be inclined to run Season of Ghosts.
  • The only Pathfinder AP I know personally is Rise of the Runelords (which I believe is PF1e only and I just completed) and Kingmaker, which I am gearing up to run myself. Season of Ghosts sounds awesome and well timed.

4) If I use the free archetypes houserule, will this be an issue for you as a player?
  • Do not know what this means. Based on a quick google, I don't think it'll be an issue?

5) If we don't use an official campaign, would you prefer to use Golarion or a more bespoke/custom made setting for an adventure? I will likely have player participation if we use a custom setting as I probably don't want to do 100% of the work myself.
  • I know some about Golarion, but not enough that it won't still feel like a fresh, bespoke setting to me. So honestly, here I am indifferent.

6) Are you looking for more combat & door kicking, or something more social heavy?
  • A decent mix.

7) Would you have an issue with a Discord server for this game & easier communication?
  • None at all.
8) Most of my aesthetics will likely be based off of anime or similar media & aesthetics. Will that be a dealbreaker?
  • Nah, my last game my character had anime transformations. I'd feel right at home. lol
9) Is there any issue with using pathbuilder to build and store sheets for you?
  • None that I can see, I'm actually glad you mentioned this. This is really nifty for a PF2e noob like myself.

  • Owlbear Rodeo is fine by me, only other VTT I know of and use regularly is Roll20 and I hate it.

I've added a quick and sneaky 8th question after some thought, I may add more questions down the line.
 
  1. I've played through (but not seen to finish) multiple Pf2 campaigns, both homebrew and officially published
  2. Nah that's fine by me. I'm more interested in just having the lewd/nude be something that *can* occur, rather than something that *has* to.
  3. I'm good with any. Though maybe don't run the Pf2E conversion of Tyrant's Grasp. That campaign was depressing as hell.
  4. What I'm accustomed to is: G.A.B+Free Archetype+ABP
  5. That's fine by me.
  6. I like a healthy mix of both, admittedly.
  7. Nope, not an issue at all.
  8. Nope, not an issue at all.

A little. Not much.

That's entirely fair. I would like to have opportunity to flex the smutty side, but adventuring is good fun!

No experience there, no comment.

Buffs? I'm chill with that. :p

Custom settings are usually pretty cool, so that gets my vote.

6) Are you looking for more combat & door kicking, or something more social heavy?
A good mixture, methinks.

7) Would you have an issue with a Discord server for this game & easier communication?
As long as the main game is on Blue Moon, that's okay.

8) Most of my aesthetics will likely be based off of anime or similar media & aesthetics. Will that be a dealbreaker?
Not at all.

The main game will be on BMR. I just intend to use a discord for OOC communication, coordination, and likely dice.
 
I suppose a question I have in response is what are you going to allow for ancestries? Just the basics or are we allowed to go into the uncommon/rare stuff?

Honestly for ancestries, I'll be pretty open. I will say for like... If I do get involved in smut, I'm well, probably not going to be too keen on certain ancestry like Leshy, Anadi, etc etc. For races like Kitsune, catfolk etc, I can see them as either kemonomimi or anthro in style.

Same goes for class, Gunslinger and Inventor are fine, and so is Exemplar.

Makes sense... Hmm...

1. Decent. Not huge or anything, but I've played a 2E Kingmaker and a ran a one-shot as GM.

2. As long as things keep progressing, it's cool.

3. I always thought Extinction Curse and the player's running a circus was pretty interesting. I don't really know anything about Season of Ghosts.

4. I can't imagine doing a non-one-shot with 2E and not having Free Archetype.

5. It is nice to have some kind of established world in the background. Golarion counts.

6. Both?

7. No.

8. No.
 
1. Absolutely no PF2 experience.
2. That works for me, I'm more interested in how you run the game.
3. No opinions.
4. Don't know what that means.
5. No opinions.
6. I can do either.
7. No problem from me.
8. I know you, I think I know what I'd be getting into.
 
Alright alright, some followup questions with 1 question being a bit redundant but best asked all the same. (WIll edit both q's into the main question post for future interest)

9) Is there any issue with using pathbuilder to build and store sheets for you?

10) PF2 is highly reliant on a map with a grid to represent more tactical play and it doesn't play well with theater of the mind as a system.

Got premium of Pathbuilder, so no issue.

Neverheard of Owlbear Rodeo, so this'll be interesting.
 
9. I dabbled with it earlier, I can probably blunder my way through making a finished character. Will need to pester you about it some.
10. As far as a VTT goes I like owlbear rodeo. If we're going so far as to have a VTT will that mean we'll have to plan for combat sessions? In addition to play by post?

I'll figure out... something so as to make it workable in pbp format if I run a game. It may be a simple block initiative order (Side A acts en masse, side B acts en masse) or something, combat is always one of those fiddly parts that doesn't quite translate 1:1 from real time format to pbp format.

The intent of what I want to do is the game will be primarily forum based with the discord for OOC chatter/game discussion, dice rolls, and etc and the VTT as just a map where people can see the lay of the land so to speak.
 
1) I have never played pathfinder of any kind.

2) I would prefer no smut in the game. If we want to rp outside of the game, I think that is fine.

3) I know nothing, so would bow to what you want to do.

4) I like your funny words magic man.

5) I don’t know?

6) I like an even mix personally, at least if it is like DnD.

7) No, I wouldn’t.

8) No.

9) No.

10) I like owlbear personally. Only used it like twice for a dnd campaign.

So while I said low/medium smut, it basically means that I don't have any personal interest in making it smutty whatsoever, I suppose listing medium smut was a bit of a misnomer. So I think this shouldn't be an issue.

Basically if players wanna get their smut on that's cool w/ me and I have 0 intentions of stopping yall and will probably tell yall to handle it yourselves but I'm not really looking to GM it out on my end.

Just tryin' to clarify!
 
Okay! I just think that would be awkward lol
 
Also, if potential players have any questions for me, I welcome it. I can be a bit.. scatterbrained and being questioned helps me in so far as thinking up shit goes, I work better under slight pressure.
 
All my answers pretty much match Bunny's here. I have no clue about the system, not interested in smut in a multiplayer game like this because I think it just makes people start to act strange/get fixated and would prefer it to be done privately if it happens so I don't have to be there for it.
