Today Sam, Ryan, and Tyler explore smaller towns on the Golden Road! Join them as they talk drug dealing gnomes in the tunnels under an oasis, cities brought to the bottom of the sea, and an empires wealth stuck in a trapped tomb!

Somewhere in Golarion, a tiny halfling cleric stands on a battlefield declaring that war is bad and violence solves nothing. Seconds later, he charges into combat with a hammer-and-sickle-decorated glaive, threatening to enforce peace by force. Meanwhile, a dragon-worshiping kobold is handing out experimental body modifications like coupons, and an undead enthusiast is one bad day away from becoming a lich because dying once was already one time too many. Somehow, this became a cleric episode. Show Notes This week we tackled Pathfinder 2e Clerics from levels 1 through 10 and quickly discovered that none of us had any intention of making wholesome heal-bots. Instead, we ended up with a collection of morally questionable short kings dedicated to violence, dragons, and undeath. Before diving into the builds, we spent some time discussing Pathfinder's deities, faiths, and philosophies. Ash walked through the Laws of Mortality philosophy, which somehow manages to oppose religion while occasionally becoming just as fanatical as the people it criticizes. Randall immediately embraced the concept and created a pacifist war priest whose solution to conflict is apparently more conflict. Ash also shared details from a new Starfinder campaign involving amnesiac characters trapped aboard a failing space station, creepy recordings, reality-bending horrors, and accusations of stealing ideas from Randall. Ash clarified that any theft was actually from Knights of the Old Republic II, which is apparently perfectly acceptable. Once the episode officially started, we built three very different clerics. Tyler embraced undeath through Urgathoa, focusing on survivability and refusing to ever experience death again. Ash created a dragon-obsessed kobold devoted to Dahak with enough fire and draconic abilities to make every problem look flammable. Randall built a tiny anti-war field medic whose philosophy boils down to peace through overwhelming force. Along the way we discussed doctrines, domains, divine fonts, Battle Harbingers, favorite weapons, and why evil gods consistently seem to have the coolest toys. By the end of the first ten levels, we had accidentally assembled Team Fun Size: three short clerics with deeply questionable life choices and entirely too much confidence. Key Takeaways Pathfinder clerics are extremely front-loaded and gain many important features at level 1. Faiths and philosophies offer interesting roleplaying options but usually provide fewer mechanical benefits than traditional deities. Warpriests gain armor and weapon advantages while Cloistered Clerics focus more heavily on spellcasting. Divine Fonts are far more flexible after the remaster because they no longer depend on Charisma. Harm-focused clerics can become surprisingly durable through self-healing and temporary hit points. Domains provide powerful focus spells and can dramatically shape a cleric's playstyle. Battle Harbinger and class archetypes show how Pathfinder 2e can radically alter classes without creating entirely new ones. Short ancestries apparently became an accidental theme, resulting in Team Fun Size. Randall's anti-war cleric demonstrated that ideals and practical solutions do not always align. Ash's Starfinder campaign premise proves that creepy space stations never go out of style. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

We've done our best to be a thorn in his side for a while now, and he's finally decided to pluck us out.

Brace yourselves, adventurers! In this week's RPGBOT.Podcast, we take on our most dangerous quests yet: planning a charity live stream without burning down the kitchen, deciphering the D&D 2025 release schedule without a map, and surviving the wrath of YouTube's algorithm. They'll explore the secrets of NPCs, the motivations of villains, and why humans are always the worst. Along the way, there's talk of Starfinder 2E, remastered treasures, healing potions with pizzazz, and a bold pitch for restaurants where the chef makes all the decisions (because who needs a menu?). Tune in for laughs, lore, and the occasional internet meltdown. It's chaotic, it's hilarious, and it's everything you didn't know you needed in a TTRPG podcast. Links 2025 DnD Release Schedule Article Malancon (affiliate link) Cosmere RPG Tom Segura, apparently? Mike Tyson, too The Hangover Steinhardt Frieren Summary In this laugh-filled episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts embark on an epic journey across the wild landscape of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), charity initiatives, and personal cooking struggles. First, they unveil their ambitious plans for an upcoming charity live stream to support victims of the LA fires, sparking debates about whether they should risk their lives (and dignity) attempting to cook live on camera. Spoiler alert: delivery food might save the day. From there, the conversation shifts to a whirlwind tour of the 2025 D&D and Paizo release schedules. With a lineup of new adventures, remastered classics like Treasure Vault, and the highly anticipated Starfinder 2E, the hosts dig into what makes these releases so exciting. Naturally, they poke fun at D&D's sometimes baffling naming conventions (seriously, how many "Vaults of Something" can we have?) and share their thoughts on how remastered content enhances gameplay. The episode also features a deep dive into the art of storytelling in TTRPGs, focusing on villains and NPCs. The hosts stress how NPCs are often the unsung heroes of great campaigns, offering insights on the upcoming NPC Core Book and its potential to empower game masters everywhere. They explore the importance of giving villains relatable motivations, lament the frequent role of humans as the ultimate antagonists in stories, and share clever ways to weave NPCs into complex narratives. For lore enthusiasts, there's a discussion on the Lost Omens line and its connection to Golarion's rich history, alongside teasers for upcoming adventures that promise to explore bold new themes and settings. Meanwhile, the release of Starfinder 2E is hailed as a major milestone, with the hosts eagerly anticipating its innovations. As the episode unfolds, the hosts delve into the challenges faced by content creators in the RPG community. They discuss the ever-shifting algorithms of YouTube and how these changes impact D&D content creators, while also emphasizing the importance of diversifying across platforms like Spotify. The hosts champion independent TTRPG creators, urging listeners to support their work through purchases and sharing content. The discussion then takes a creative turn as the group brainstorms unique mechanics to enhance TTRPG gameplay. They draw inspiration from Baldur's Gate 3, suggesting fun twists like using healing potions in unexpected ways or designing environmental effects to create more dynamic encounters. All this is wrapped up in the hosts' signature relaxed and humorous tone, sprinkled with tangents about their struggles with cooking, internet connectivity disasters, and their wish for restaurants where the chef decides the menu. It's an episode packed with laughter, lore, and a lot of love for the TTRPG community. Whether you're a player, a dungeon master, or a content creator, this episode has something for everyone—plus plenty of ideas for making your next game unforgettable.

Waves break across the bow of a newly-stolen pirate ship, sailing through a tropical archipelago known on the world of Golarion as The Shackles. Here, a good pirating crew can make a name for themselves that will resound throughout history. With any luck, this pack of ragtag misfits will become one of them. Ignis whips the crew into shape.
