Yeah so my group wanted to start a pf2e game. So I made a goblin alchemist. It just spoke to me. We just finished up hellknight hill. I think that's what it was called.

Quite fun. Right now we're all lvl 5. I'm doing alchemist, oracle, beast master maybe? I dunno. There's alot of archetypes.

We're doing that free archetype thing. Which is kind of just like multi-classing. Which is cool.

Mechanics are fun. Though I do feel like I miss a lot.

Oh its also my friends first time ever being a DM. So it's very by the book. Which is fine. It is funny when I do very out of the box stuff and he's like omg what do I do. Lol

We're almost done with Dungeon of the Mad Mage. The guy that was supposed to run a campaign after this is sounding like he's too busy to run his campaign and the current DM wants a break.

I have Tomb of Annihilation and was planning on running it at some point, but I don't want to commit to a year-long campaign as a DM right now either.

I told them I'd consider running a smaller module from the TMNT books, but then I found Dawn of Defiance for the old Star Wars RPG, so I'm leaning towards that. Neither of those are supported by any of the Virtual Tabletops from what I've found, though. (We live in different parts of the country.) Might just do it mostly theater of the mind style just to do something for a few months to give the other DM a break.

With that said, I started reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl books and they just started a kickstarter for their RPG, which will be supported by a couple of the VTTs...I just don't think it's going to be released by the time we finish DotMM. I'd love to run that, though.

Since our group got together we've only played D&D 5E, so I'm not sure if there will be any friction to running a different system with them, but figure it's worth a shot.

Ohhhh my group just finished tomb of annihilation. Though I changed a lot of stuff. And added in quite a bit that I felt the book skipped.

Spoilers

So it's got dinosaur racing. But it doesn't have mechanics for hoe to actually do it. So I had to make all of that up.

I made up how to travel by map via zeplin. Because again it didn't have mechanics.

I also wrote a back story for the atropal. Because it didn't have one. I ended up looping it into our paladins epic arc. Where it was the dead fetus of a slain God that was betrayed and killed in tthe end room. And he ended up purifying his cursed necrotic energy arm into a radiant energy arm that is also his sword. It's the2nd artifact weapon my groups gotten.

Reddit had a lot of recommendations for fleshing it out a bit. The only other campaign I've run was Call of the Netherdeep, so I'm also considering changing location names and having the story take place in Exandria when I run it. Of course, that makes a lot more work for me editing all the files for Fantasy Grounds.

I do want to run it eventually...I just have too much up in the air right now with work and I'd feel bad if I didn't have time to prep.

I've also told them I'm not letting them roll for stats and I'm not giving them vestiges/epics next time we play. Stuff has just been too easy as we've all learned to play with each other over the years.
