Podcasts about Pathfinder

The crew venture forth into the big boss arena and find conspicuous looking items tying everything together.

Our featured guest tonight is Austin Bourdo of Pathfinder Pipes. He is an Army Veteran having the highly specialized role of Pathfinder. (Find out what that is on the show. It's super badass cool.) Austin is a father and husband living in his native Wisconsin. He does social work full time and makes pipes part time. It all started when he found his grandfather's pipes, started smoking, and he already had a lathe for bowl turning, so making pipes was a natural progression. At the top of the show in the Pipe Parts segment, we will continue the virtual tour of Brian's pipe collection with two estate Comoy's pipes that have a great background story.

The crew sort out the most difficult puzzle they've ever faced, and stare deep into the void. Editors note: The primary machine for episode editing was put to rest while working on this episode so any issues with individual tracks were not simple to work out. We appreciate your patience.

From pizza to invisibility puzzles and rogue mechanics, Episode 3 of Other Worlds takes you on a whirlwind ride through culinary hot takes, heist mechanics, and the joys (and pains) of Pathfinder 2. In Episode 3 of Other Worlds, the RPGBOT.Podcast team serves up a delightfully chaotic mix of culinary hot takes and deep tabletop RPG insights. Randall makes a chicken Caesar abomination. Tyler admits that he enjoys pineapple on pizza. The pizza talk eventually turns toward more tabletop territory, but not before a quick anecdote about a friend with a professional pizza oven makes everyone jealous. Ash shares his experience playing a wizard and highlighting the fun and challenges of illusion magic. The group previews plans to explore illusion mechanics in more depth in future episodes. Discussion then turns to game mechanics, including the balance between free archetypes and dual class builds, the importance of managing action economy, and how subclass complexity impacts gameplay. The group emphasizes that building characters with narrative depth enhances both player experience and storytelling potential. The heart of the episode centers around the challenges and joys of running heists in tabletop RPGs. The hosts dissect session structure, the importance of player agency, and the need for improvisation when things go off the rails. They dive deep into puzzle design, stressing that puzzles should be solvable, intuitive, and satisfying—too much complexity can lead to player frustration or overthinking. Clear communication and thoughtful design go a long way, and incorporating player feedback, especially through tools like “Stars and Wishes,” can help refine future sessions. Combat encounters in Pathfinder 2 also get a thorough breakdown. The hosts explore the pitfalls of solo monster fights, creative ways to keep encounters engaging, and how action economy can make or break a battle. They also touch on podcasting-specific challenges—long, drawn-out combat sessions can be hard to follow in an audio format. Misunderstandings about rules, such as how the Rogue's Cunning Action or bonus actions work, are addressed, with a focus on how even small confusions can disrupt game flow. Wrapping up, the group looks ahead to the future of RPGBOT, reflecting on community engagement and the mysterious potential of DiceGoblin.net. They share personal stories and humorous moments from recent sessions, emphasizing that fun, friendship, and a bit of chaos are at the core of their shared love of tabletop games. Whether it's arguing over pizza or spell slots, Episode 3 delivers a mix of levity and insight that captures what makes the RPGBOT.Podcast such an entertaining listen.

Using a unique action-selection system, players produce and deliver cloth while contributing to the construction and decoration of the city's buildings. The game features dynamic scoring phases and strategic planning as you carefully plan out every turn. We enjoyed it then, but how about now? Sometimes we will find those games that are just so basic and fun that we wonder how we missed them back in the day. That is the case for Skyjo, where players aim to have the lowest score by the end of the game. Each player starts with a grid of face-down cards and must carefully swap, reveal, and discard cards to minimize their total points. This is the game wish I had as my daughter aged to replace Rat-a-tat Cat. Thanks for listening and be sure to grab your Strike Gen Con Tickets if you are headed to Gen Con this year.

This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast is brought to you by Dungeon Flow. DungeonFlow.app – Because your dungeon deserves more than graph paper and panic. In Episode 3 of Other Worlds, the RPGBOT crew mixes magical mayhem with mundane mischief. What begins with a hilarious debate on olives and grooming spirals into a multi-layered roleplaying session filled with stealthy maneuvers, magical puzzles, and mirrored mysteries. The players explore the social dynamics of fantasy bartending, wrestle with illusions and invisibility, and uncover a portal to a parallel world that forces them to confront questions of identity and purpose. With spell-slinging, bug-smashing, and some surprisingly emotional moments, this session is a potent cocktail of humor, strategy, and heart. Act I – Table Talk and Tangents The gang opens with hot takes on olives, hair routines, and stream setups. Voice acting tips and character introductions set the stage for the session. A recap of recent events lays the groundwork for what's to come. Act II – Tavern Shenanigans The party takes on bartending duties in a fantasy setting. Hilarity ensues as they roleplay customer service and drink crafting. Pop culture references abound, and creative drink names fly freely. Act III – Into the Shadows Mechanics of invisibility and stealth are explored in detail. Characters face off against unexpected creepy-crawlies. Players rely on teamwork and clever spell use to stay ahead. Act IV – Puzzles and Portals The party investigates a strange magical lab and an ominous mirror. The reflection reveals a world where wilted flowers bloom—a symbol of deeper truths. Themes of rebirth, identity, and past lives emerge through character revelations. Act V – Combat and Consequence A climactic battle tests their knowledge of illusions, scaling, and bleed effects. One character finds themselves in dire straits, prompting an introspective moment. Post-combat reflection ties the adventure to personal growth and group strategy. Act VI – Looking Ahead The session ends with growing tension around a mysterious shard. Teasers hint at major developments in the next installment. Key Takeaways: Roleplaying & Narrative Themes Character development is central to immersion. Humor and personal storytelling enhance group dynamics. Rebirth, identity, and past lives enrich the campaign's emotional core. Game Mechanics & Strategy Invisibility, illusions, and persistent effects like bleed can dramatically shift combat. Understanding spellcasting and tactical positioning is essential in Pathfinder 2e. Puzzle-solving encourages creativity and teamwork. Meta & Production Insights Streaming setups and voice acting add value to the actual play experience. Pop culture references and inside jokes help build community among players and listeners. Notable Moments The mirror scene introduces a powerful narrative twist with metaphysical implications. Bug encounters add an unexpected physical challenge and comic relief. A familiar face across realities sparks emotional tension and philosophical debate.

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts dive deep into the often-overlooked tool of language in tabletop RPGs—how it shapes worlds, defines characters, and enhances immersion. Whether it's a dwarven curse word, a whispered draconic threat, or a gnomish pun that lands like a rock in a puddle, the power of language can turn a good campaign into an unforgettable one. The discussion explores the practical, narrative, and mechanical implications of language in TTRPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. The hosts share ideas for incorporating multilingualism into your campaign setting, including how dialects, slang, coded speech, and nonverbal communication (like thieves' cant or secret signs) add flavor to your storytelling. They also delve into how languages can be used to gate knowledge, shape factions, spark conflict, and even fuel plotlines. In classic RPGBOT fashion, the conversation balances practical advice with ridiculous tangents, including misused languages at the table, accidentally offensive fantasy names, and the ever-important question: “What does Infernal really sound like when you're mad?” Create Dungeons in minutes not hours with DungeonFlow.app Check out our Best of Season 1 and Best of Season 2 playlists! dScryb – Comprehend Languages (affiliate link) RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes The Maniculum Podcast – RPGBOT.News S2E48 Other Stuff Maniculum Podcast Tuckernut Island Key Takeaways Languages Are Storytelling Tools Languages in TTRPGs are more than just flavor—they're worldbuilding elements that reflect history, culture, and power dynamics.

Pathfinder 2.0 Check-in Whelp, we've had a huge set of podcasts about the establishment of PF2E for Heretic Heroes, so why don't we take a minute to check in on how that's going? What are Buddy's first impressions of the systems? How does it feel in comparison to 5E? Let's get into it! We ended up talking a lot about the tension pool.

Ever wonder what happens when you mix dark gods, self-driving cars, and a dysfunctional team of grimdark misfits with questionable decision-making skills? Welcome to the Warhammer 40K actual play recap you didn't know you needed. Episode Summary In this delightfully chaotic recap, the RPGBOT crew careens through a whirlwind of topics, from the pending excitement of new Pathfinder 2 classes to the mechanized nightmare of self-driving job loss. But the star of the show? A deep dive into the ridiculous, horrifying, and sometimes oddly comedic world of Warhammer 40k: Imperium Maledictum. The gang reflects on their actual play experience, sharing insights on the warp-charged mechanics of psychic powers, the elegance (yes, really) of the d100 system, and the sweet spot between cosmic horror and laugh-out-loud party banter. Standout moments from characters like Scythia highlight how understanding mechanics and leaning into the absurd can lead to both strategic victories and glorious trainwrecks. Also: why your next campaign might just need a healthy dose of paranoia, failed rolls, and heretical banter.

When your world's on fire, the schedule's in chaos, and the goblins are unionizing—welcome to West Marches. In this episode, Ash Ely and Tyler “RPGBOT” Kamstra venture deep into the untamed wilds of West Marches–style tabletop roleplaying games. With no regular party, no fixed storyline, and no safety net, they explore how this classic format redefines player agency and opens the door to truly dynamic storytelling. The hosts explain how to build a vibrant, reactive world filled with tension, consequence, and creative freedom. They also share tips for managing the behind-the-scenes chaos: prepping seasonal events, tracking a living timeline, and handling player-driven schedules without losing your mind. Along the way, they touch on the mechanical differences between Pathfinder 2 and D&D 5e in supporting exploration-based gameplay and share some clever ideas for managing treasure, experience gaps, and inevitable player death. The conversation expands to include updates on upcoming Pathfinder 2 spell list guides, their thoughts on reading vs. audiobooks, and why supporting local game stores is vital to the RPG community. As always, personal stories and sharp banter round out the episode, keeping things informative and entertaining.

The world is sandbox-style—no set party or plot—and players choose when and where to explore. Hex crawling and random encounters enhance exploration and inject unpredictability. A successful West Marches world is reactive, with consequences shaped by player choices. GM prep includes world timelines, seasons, and milestone-based time management. NPCs may be unreliable, adding narrative tension and misdirection. The format suits drop-in/drop-out play, allowing varied player participation. Players must prepare before sessions, as they drive the story. Storytelling and Worldbuilding The world should feel lived-in, with visible effects from past player actions. Incorporating pacing shifts and seasonal changes creates depth and realism. Building a sense of urgency can help motivate player decisions. Character death and level gaps must be handled carefully to maintain balance and satisfaction. Creative treasure systems can engage players more than traditional loot drops. System Considerations Pathfinder 2 excels at structured exploration, making it a strong choice for West Marches. D&D 5e is viable but may require tweaks for sandbox structure and time management. Community and Culture The hosts provide updates on upcoming Pathfinder 2 spell list guides. Audiobooks offer a practical way to enjoy fiction while multitasking. They tease an upcoming audiobook version of Randall's novella. Supporting local game stores is emphasized as critical to the health of the hobby. Listener engagement through reviews and shares helps sustain and grow the show. Ash and Tyler discuss personal struggles with reading and time, connecting with listeners on a relatable level. As always, the show mixes insightful advice with humor and camaraderie, the secret ingredients that keep listeners coming back.

Send us a textIn 2003 Shane Hensley and Pinnacle Entertainment released a brand-new generic roleplaying game. The game was called Savage Worlds and it kinda made a splash.The game emphasized speed of play over detail. That may not seem like much today, but at the time it was revolutionary. You see Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 was also released in 2003, which would go on to birth Pathfinder. Steve Jackson Games had 5 years' worth of source books available for their Generic Universal Roleplaying System. The market at that time was filled with games like Hero, Shadowrun, and Rolemaster,In other words, in 2003 we were at the height of crunch in our roleplaying games.And when I say crunch I am not talking about the candy bar.I'm talking about games with rules, hundreds of pages of rules. I'm talking about math, lots and lots of math. I'm talking about tables to cross-reference everything your characters might do. You see at the turn of the century most TTRPG's were focused on simulations. Trying to make the games as real as possible and to do that, you gotta lean hard into the rules.Shane Hensely changed that with Savage Worlds. By focusing on streamlining the systems and making sure your games were moving fast and your players where having fun he opened the doors for massive changes in how we see our roleplaying games.I would argue that Savage Worlds help bring about D&D 5e, Blades in the Dark, Powered by the Apocalypse, Mork Borg, and basically anything today that is considered rules light.I'm not the only one that thinks Savage Worlds is an impressive game.The game received the 2003 Origin Gamers' Choice Award for best role-playing game. Scott Taylor for Black Gate in 2013 rated Savage Worlds as Honorable Mention #1 in the top ten role-playing games of all time.But now I have to admit my own stupidity.When Savage Worlds came out in 2003 I wasn't interested. I saw it as a direct attack against my favorite game GURPS so I lifted my nose and kept playing GURPS. It wasn't until recently that I started diving into Savage Worlds and man did I miss the boat on this one.In this episode we are going to review Savage Worlds and talk about the game, the game system, why it's cool and why you should give it a shot.Mike, when did you first play Savage Worlds?[Kick to Mike]Christina, What about you?[Kick to Christina]
