Title kinda says it all.

I have Foundry so that’s sweet. Oh yeah, and don’t be afraid to recommend me some obscure ones as well as popular ones.

Let’s see… I like Star Wars, Appalachia, labor movement, Star Trek, the Pathfindner games by Owlcat, Warhammer 40k (syke! but I may get into it due to its increased popularity recently), Arthurian legends, Lord Dunsany, horror, foreign shit (like, foreign novels, foreign games, foreign everything), Chinese stuff, Chinese web novels, etc.

What else, what else… Pluto and other space shti? Eh, idk. Africa, non-European fantasy, noir, neurodiversity/autism, desert fantasy, weird fiction, Gothic literature, Nintendo, dwarves, Ottoman empire, pirates, tropical settings, OMORI, ASOIAF book series, Assassin’s Creed (ig? back then, but i don’t know about now as I haven’t played the recent ones), history in general, sociology, Elden Ring, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, anything like the upcoming Dolmenwood TTRPG, and I guess anything like the Enclave TTRPG.

No to: more Viking shit (Viking shit seems to everywhere and I hate it), Orientalist two-dimensional shenanigans, “you can be the bad guys in this setting… even though they’re technically the good guys now but with a dark aesthetic to them!,” Numenera (I hated the video game), Game of Thrones TV show, zombies, Bethesda Game Studios, and, err, yeah, I’ll leave it at that.

So yeah, now that you know what my interests are, how about I dox myself, yeah?

Okay, look down to see what I look like:

lol jk

Okay, gimme your recommendations, of any kind, but mostly of anything that might pique my interest (based on the, well, interests I posted above).

    I do want at least some physical copies. It’s just not the same, you know? Without physical copies, I mean. And yes, I’ve consider Pathfinder 2e as well. Increasing queer writing in it? I like the sound of that. I’ll save the link you gave me as well. What is Foundry pf2e, btw? And what does “imu” mean (I’m just curious)? Yeah, I could use all the Pathfinder 2e PDFs as I like to collect them, though I would like some physical copies too.

      Also regarding the setting of Golarion and the increase in writing quality in second edition, check out for example the book “Knights of Lastwall” which has badass undead-fighting knights like Clarethe Iomedar (nonbinary) or their badass mother Kalabrynne Iomedar (trans woman) who’s on the cover :

      Another personal favourite is the minor god Alseta who is literally the god of transitions, including gender transitions : https://2e.aonprd.com/Deities.aspx?ID=30

      There’s a lot of little things that are gradually being added and the younger writers, designers and freelancers or Paizo are very queer.

      Damn I meant hmu as in “hit me up”, woops.

      I meant the PF2e system implementation for Foundry VTT since you mentionned it. It is one of the best, if not the absolute best, system implementation on foundry. Complete, great character sheets, lots of great automation, very motivated and active community, and now Paizo (the pathfinder people) sell modules and adventures as Foundry modules. The community, and the stuff on Pathfinder infinite or drivethru for example, also tend to sell their stuff as a Foundry module on top of the rest. There’s some really good 3PP stuff for pathfinder 2e now, like all the Battlezoo/Roll for combat stuff which is basically Paizo quality, and has wide popularity (a lot of people use it on foundry and there’s even options for it in Pathbuilder).

        Yeah, I was, like, thinking “why does she miss me?”

        Anyway, this all seems pretty good. I have Foundry and I’ll soon have the core books for Pathfinder 2e. Sounds good. Thank you!

          I’ve made a 3GB .zip of ALL the PF2 pdfs I have, I’m sending it in PM.

          Anyone else interested I can send it to you as well.

          If anyone also has PF2e PDFs, I’m looking to complete some stuff. I only have the adventure paths up to around Quest for the Frozen Flame and beyond that it’s incomplete or absent. Same for modules, it’s been a while since I searched for the latest ones.

          I’m subscribed to the Core and Lost Omens line which is why I have all of them, and I pass them through something to remove my name/email/account info. If you have some PDFs I might be missing please send them to me I need the collection to be compleeeete.
