Character creation in Pathfinder 2e is like walking into a fantasy bakery: everything looks amazing, you want all of it, and somehow you leave with a perfectly balanced character instead of a chaotic pile of half-baked ideas. In this RPGBOT.Quickstart episode, we guide you through the PF2e character creation process step by step without analysis paralysis, spreadsheet-induced panic, or accidentally building a wizard who can't read their own spellbook. Pathfinder 2e Re-Releases! Just in time for cozy dice rolling and awkward family game nights, RPGBOT is re-releasing our Pathfinder 2e episodes for the 2025 holiday season! Whether you're onboarding new players, rebuilding old characters, or finally convincing your D&D group to try PF2e, our Quickstart Pathfinder 2e series is coming back to help you start strong and play smart. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Quickstart series, we break down Pathfinder Second Edition character creation from start to finish, helping new and returning players understand how PF2e builds characters that are flexible, balanced, and deeply customizable. We walk through the full process: ancestry, background, class, ability boosts, skills, feats, and proficiencies, and explain how each choice shapes your character's role in the party. The discussion focuses on how Pathfinder 2e character creation differs from other tabletop RPG systems, emphasizing player choice at every stage without overwhelming complexity. We explain how ability scores are generated, why feats matter at level one, and how proficiency tiers influence long-term character growth. Whether you're building a frontline fighter, a cunning rogue, or a spellcaster with a carefully tuned spell list, this episode gives you the tools to make informed, confident decisions. If you're new to Pathfinder Second Edition or helping others get started, this episode serves as a clear, approachable character creation guide that sets you up for success before the first initiative roll. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e character creation is modular, flexible, and highly balanced. Ancestry, background, and class all provide meaningful mechanical benefits. Ability boosts replace traditional rolling, ensuring fair and effective characters. Feats at level one define character identity early in the game. Proficiency tiers shape how characters grow over time. PF2e supports strong character concepts without trap choices. A solid character foundation makes learning Pathfinder 2e much easier.

Happy holidays! On this festive episode, Ginger takes us all the way back to medieval times, where folks celebrated their winter celebrations with turkey legs and torturing peasants on spiked wheels. First, we talk Good King Wenceslas, the dude behind the beloved Christmas carol, its surprisingly bloody end, and forays onto Ancestry.com. Next, we discuss Les Bal des Ardents, a hell of a holiday party involving fire, being on fire, and the subsequent apology tour. Featuring Ren's mom, DJ, and the plot of Office Space.Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

I had planned to take this week and next off but I can't leave y'all hanging without your fix on Christmas! This week I'm bringing you a special mini fix episode about the Christmas Truce of 1914. This remarkable ceasefire that happened spontaneously all along the Western Front during the first winter of World War I has shocked and inspired the masses ever since. But despite tons of eyewitness accounts and tangible evidence like letters, autographs, and photos, there are many who refuse to believe that the Christmas Truce ever happened. So, what do you think? Is this actual history or merely a myth? Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: Imperial War Museums video "How Did the Christmas Truce Happen?"Imperial War Museums "The Real Story of the Christmas Truce" History.com "The Christmas Truce"Institute for Economics and Peace "The Christmas Truce""Western Front Companion" by Mark AdkinForces War Records by Ancestry "The True Story of the 'Christmas Truce'"Shoot me a message!

Text: Matthew 1:6; 2 Samuel 11; variousTheme: We tell people to not play “the victim”. But what if we are the victim? What can we learn? Where do we turn? This week we'll look at life, when we're not in control of it all, and see just how we can honor God in the midst of it a difficult situation.Memory Verse: 2 Samuel 11:26 (NIV) When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49534825

In this sixth episode of Season Ten, host Andrew Martin meets New Zealand-based genealogist, author, storyteller and 'story listener', Simon Young. He hears how Simon got hooked on family history after a brown envelop was handed to him, and his thoughts on where the genealogy community may go next.THE LIFE STORY - DR. JAMES LINDSimon has chosen to tell the Life Story of his 5x Great Grandfather, Dr. James Lind, who was born in 1736 in Gorgie, Edinburgh, Scotland.By 1766, he'd joined the East India Company as a surgeon, and two years later earned his Doctorate after completing his dissertation in marsh fever (malaria). However, James was somewhat a polymath, and surrounded by other polymaths in Edinburgh at the time. He missed out on a voyage with Captain Cook after asking for too much money, and instead headed to Iceland to study the stars.He also mentored Percy Bysshe Shelley, and this clearly left an impression on Percy who wrote James as characters in some of his work. James was also perhaps an inspiration for Percy's wife - author Mary Shelley - who it's said, was inspired by James when she wrote Frankenstein, after one of James' 'scientific' tricks was to electrocute dead frogs so that they would twitch and jump, as if brought back to life!THE BRICK WALL - WILLIAM and HANNAH SMITHYes, that's right... Simon is asking you to help him find some ancestors bearing one of the most common surnames from Britain - Smith! Simon knows that his ancestor George Henry Smith was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1859, but he has no further information about his parents William Smith and Hannah Smith (née 'Dardin').  When George Smith marries in the 1880s, his father is named, but the marriage takes place in New Zealand. Simon doesn't know if George's parents were alive, went to New Zealand, or stayed in Australia.Can you help him find the correct William and Hannah Smith, parents of George Henry Smith?If you think that you can offer Simon a research clue or idea, then you can contact him via his website, or alternatively send us message and we'll pass it on.In the meantime... Simon is happy to accept Andrew's offer of help, but has a few questions first....- - -Episode Credits:Andrew Martin - Host and ProducerSimon Young - GuestJohn Spike - Sándor PetőfiPharos TutorsAdvance your research with a family history course from Pharos Tutors.Support the showThank you for listening!

Constance grew up believing she shared the same father as her siblings, though she always sensed something was off. Decades later, an AncestryDNA test and unexpected messages from strangers unraveled the truth—leading her to her biological father living just 20 minutes away. Their emotional first meeting, the highs and lows of building a relationship at midlife, and Constance's journey toward grace, understanding, and identity make this a deeply meaningful NPE story.Constance can be reached via email constancethenpe@gmail.comNPE Stories PatreonNPE Stories facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/NPEstories

When Dani was in eighth grade, she watched her grandmother wash and braid her own mother's hair. In that moment, she was witness to a ritual passed on through generations of Black women.Join me as Dani Allen, Senior Director of Talent Acquisition at Ancestry, shares her family's journey from the Deep South to Wisconsin during the 1930s and 40s as part of The Great Migration. Together we explore how her grandfather's search for work in the auto industry led their family north, the tumultuous marriage that nearly ended in tragedy, and the newspaper clipping that finally confirmed whispered family stories.From her great-grandmother's striking blue eyes and the meaning behind hair care rituals, to her weekly Zoom calls with her 90-year-old grandmother filled with freshly discovered stories, Dani reveals how intergenerational connections shape identity and preserve legacy. She shares how these discoveries help her two-year-old granddaughter understand the resilient women whose strength flows through her veins. Dani's story reminds us that family history isn't just about the past. It's about the bonds we nurture today that will live on in generations to come.〰️

This episode with Dr. David McCarty-Caplan touches on so many profound and heartfelt areas, carried by the radical vulnerability, honesty, and compassion he brings to the conversation. David generously shares about his reunion with his Colombian birth family-- first on his own, and later with his children and partner. We explore how his kids embraced reunion and modeled openness, curiosity and love with his family, and how their presence and perspective helped guide and teach him throughout the process. David also reflects on his identity as a Jewish Colombian adoptee and his powerful work community building with and for Jewish adoptees of color.  Dr. David McCarty-Caplan BioDr. David McCarty-Caplan (PhD) is a researcher, educator, writer, and consultant whose work sits at the intersection of identity, belonging, and social justice. Born in Bogotá, Colombia and adopted into a white Jewish family in the United States, David's life has been shaped by questions of race, family, and home. These experiences continue to inform his passion for helping adoptees and their families navigate the complex layers of identity, racism, and connection that often accompany adoption. Drawing on his background as a social work researcher and educator, David brings both personal insight and professional rigor to his work with organizations, communities, and families. He is especially interested in how people and institutions can create spaces where all feel seen and valued. David lives in Los Angeles with his wife and their two children, ages 12 and 10. As a husband, father, and adoptee, he is continually exploring what it means to nurture belonging — in his family, in his work, and in the broader world.https://www.shadesofbelonging.com/Co-Hosts: Nari Baker & Robyn ParkMusic: Mike Marlatt & Paul GulledgeAudio Production: Frederico Soler FernándezArtwork: Dalhe KimListen on: iTunes & SpotifyInstagram: @laboroflovepodcastSupport via Venmo: @laboroflovepodcast

What if your family's pioneer past looked exactly like your favorite childhood TV show? When Lisa Elzey discovered her great-great-grandfather's story, she realized she'd been watching his life every Monday night on Little House on the Prairie. Complete with homesteading, hand-hewn cabins, and a white beard down to his belly.In this episode, Lisa shares how a purple-inked memoir written by her great-grandmother's half-sister unlocked the story of Johann Heinrich Seba, a German immigrant who arrived alone at 18, hacked through Minnesota wilderness for a mile and a half in a single day, and became so beloved his community lowered flags to half-staff when he died. For decades, Lisa and her mother searched for his origins in Germany, writing letters to archives and scrolling through endless microfilm reels. Then in 2016, a single search on Ancestry revealed not just where he was from, but a family secret hidden in Lutheran christening records that changed everything they thought they knew.Discover how one ancestor's story can bridge four generations of women, why a steeple clock matters more than any antique collection, and what happens when patience meets the right record at exactly the right time.〰️

A CMO Confidential Interview with Evan Wittenberg, Chief People Officer of VuMedi formerly CPO of Ancestry and Box, Google's Head of Leadership Development, and a Saturday Night Live Page. Evan discusses why HR has become a much tougher position over the last 5 years, AI's negative impact on leadership development, and the similarities between marketing and HR. Key topics include: his belief that every function should have a dedicated people partner; why "the burden of proof" is often higher for marketers; why he always interviews for "learning agility;" and why "doing the job you are hired for is better for your career than trying for "the next job."

Using DNA to discover your pastConversation with Ancestry.com Genealogist Crista Cowan

The genome sequences of Neandertals and Denisovans have provided a wealth of new information about the origins, migrations, and interactions of ancient humans. These genomes have revealed that mixture between hominin groups was common: all modern humans outside Africa carry around 2% Neandertal DNA from a single major episode of Neandertal gene flow, while the ancestors of present-day Asians and Oceanians also met and mixed with multiple, genetically distinct Denisovan populations. Archaeological evidence suggests multiple dispersals of modern humans out of Africa, with early fossils identified in East and Southeast Asia over 50 thousand years ago. In contrast, genomic studies indicate that all present-day non-African populations descend primarily from a single dispersal after ~50 ka, though the migration routes of ancestral populations across Eurasia and Oceania remain unclear. Janet Kelso, professor at Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, shows how using the distribution of Neandertal and Denisovan ancestry in ancient and present-day modern humans can determine when, where and how often modern and archaic humans met and mixed.

India's colonial past under British rule is a significant chapter in its history and a treasure trove for those seeking to trace their ancestry. The British were meticulous record-keepers, and much of their documentation has survived, providing invaluable insights into Indian families during the 18th to mid-20th centuries. Whether your ancestors served in the militia, were part of the landowning class, or engaged in trade, there's a strong chance that colonial records hold the key to unlocking your family's history. These records offer more than just names and dates—they provide context about the social, economic, and political backdrop in which your ancestors lived. But where do you begin?

Michael Jaco brings together Ron and Patty Plumb along with Lewis Herms for a powerful, no-nonsense exploration into one of the most explosive topics of our time — the battle for human sovereignty and the fight to reclaim America's voting system. This conversation exposes the deeper war between human consciousness and the alleged influence of reptilian-controlled power structures embedded in global politics and U.S. elections. Michael discusses the human lineage behind leaders like President Trump, JFK, and Ronald Reagan, and how their rise challenged entrenched dark networks operating behind the scenes. Ron and Patty Plumb deliver an extraordinary firsthand account of what happened in Shasta County, where they led the historic movement to eliminate Dominion voting machines and restore hand-counted paper ballots. They break down the pushback they faced, the victories they achieved, and the exact steps counties across America can follow to reclaim their elections. Lewis Herms adds crucial insight into the broader national movement — exposing psychological manipulation, elite control systems, and the grassroots awakening happening through education, activism, and state-level reform. His work ties directly into the New California State movement, a rapidly growing initiative aimed at restoring constitutional governance. If you're looking for real solutions and real results, this episode offers a blueprint for taking your power back — spiritually, politically, and locally.

From the rolling countryside of France to the forests of Canada and the bayous of Louisiana, the story of French ancestry spans continents and centuries. Families carried their language, faith, and traditions across oceans, leaving a legacy that still shapes the modern world. If your family has roots in North America, especially in Canada, New England, or Louisiana, there's a good chance some of those roots trace back to France. The French presence in the New World is older and broader than many realize — beginning in the early 1500s and continuing in waves right into the 19th century. French ancestry can connect you to explorers and fur traders, farmers and fishermen, soldiers and settlers, artisans and clergy. Each wave of migration tells a different story, but all share one theme: the courage to seek opportunity in a distant land while carrying the soul of France with them...

She reveals why she believes immigration is out of control, what went wrong with the Rwanda plan, and whether Britain can ever regain control of its borders. We also dive deep into what it means to be English, British or Asian-British in modern Britain — from the St. George's flag controversy to national pride, religion, and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Suella explains why she believes strong countries need strong identities, and how ‘human rights' laws have been exploited to block deportations.
