Yeah, I can see the advantages but I enjoy the clean math of PF2 too much for that tbh. There's so much material to work with and it's all so balanced. I don't mind reading that all either, I actually read the core rulebook for PF2 cover to cover over a few days when I first got it because I was enjoying it so much! Everything just works, but it's definitely a bit more crunch than is necessary for people not running long complex campaigns. On that note, Shadowdark is a really fun system if you wanted to check something out that's more robust than Mini6 but still super simple rules that are quick to pick up.
Arguably, however, that’s something the GM should have been aware of when going into a system like DnD or Pathfinder and been prepared to raise the stakes to entirely different kinds of challenges.
Which is the point I was going to make! I still say it's on the GM to properly calibrate the story and/or player powers in the scenarios you outlined but overall I agree with you. I just think if a GM is trying to tell a very specific story/narrative then they should outline when each power rise occurs but that enters into railroading imo. Which at that point my advice would just be to write a book if they want THAT much control over the narrative since the players would have very little agency to alter the world around them. That's just not fun for most players I've ran games for, they always want that extra agency to get wild and as a GM it's always fun to see the unexpected and it keeps me on my toes.
GMs! Let your party be powerful if they figure out creative ways to achieve that power! It's more fun for everyone!
As a GM this has always irritated me about other GM's complaining their players are too powerful. My dude, you're literally omnipotent. Your players cannot be too powerful, because you are all-powerful. Just throw bigger baddies at them. You only have to worry if one player starts getting way more powerful than the rest of the party. Then you either have to make sure everyone is cool with that asymmetrical dynamic or buff everyone else up to their level. But a party cannot be too powerful, it's just a lack of GM creativity. /rant
Edit: Dear GMs, downvoting this won't make it less true. Relax your grip on the narrative and you'll be surprised how much more fun everyone has.
It's unironically my favorite horror movie, there's so many references to other horror films for those familiar it's insane. Such a fun watch every time!
You seem to think he is a mastermind with a superplan.
Holy shit you are blind if you think Trump is a genius
Where the hell are you getting this idea from? Why are you implying that in order for him to be a fascist he has to be a genius with a super plan? Did you miss my initial comment you replied to saying he was too dumb? Most fascists are in fact, quite dumb. That's typically how they end up being fascists. He's a fucking moron, who happens to be a fascist.
It’s an important political issue because the GOP made it into one.
The hell it is, by that standard we should be talking about Jewish space lasers and and Hillary's emails. You can ignore their rage when it comes to things that don't have real consequences, like this. This is a bad click bait article and isn't worth sharing.
Biden said in a statement to People magazine: "This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter..."
I agree, Joe. I don't give a shit about your family just your policies that affect our lives. These articles are so useless. Shame on you Jeff, get it together.
Yes, as opposed to his super progressive stances he's had up until this point... He's always been a complete fascist, thankfully for us he was just too dumb to fully capitalize on it while in office.
I appreciate somebody in the comments actually knows how our government functions. The Dems have a lot of stuff to make up for and there's more than a few really shitty corpo stooges but they've legitimately done a lot of good with what they had to work with. If we get another election like this past midterm we should see great things. Thank you again, Gen Z. You really turned out this past election cycle.

Completely agree, neither one is right or wrong it's just what's best for each table.
I've heard about Dread but haven't had a chance to run/play it yet! I'll move it up on the list, thanks for the suggestion as well! 😄
Happy gaming!
