I haven't done it for Pathfinder, as I've not ran PF in several years, but currently do it for both D&D 5e and Savage Worlds. It makes things much easier as far as combat management goes. I can only imagine it'd do the same for PF.

So far as I know (I don't do 5e or anything but PF), the only appreciable difference in automation is in character generation for PF is much diminished relative to 5e
If that were true they wouldn't be releasing the adventure path modules and bestiary modules :PQuote:

Any new news about the Pathfinder release? No need for a release date, just some kind of status update is more than enough to keep me exited :)

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not. you know its march right?
Wait, wut?
I'm pretty sure it's going to be released retro-actively 6 weeks ago.

Breaking the flow, this is especially amusing to me as it is the 20th where I am :PQuote:

This is why nobody ever wants to give a release date.
I agree that release dates are a trap... but, in this case, *not* having a date isn't stopping people from kicking the back of the dev's seat and asking if we're there yet every couple days.Quote:

Also, believe it or not concrete release dates get pushed back all the time unless nothing is said until a product is 100% approved for release and everything approved by all parties. Even then delays can surface.
Anyone who followed Bioware when they were good should have been fully prepared for sliding release windows.
We are waiting on some final things over on Paizo's server to get set up and their main IT person was out all last week due to illness. I *think* that is all that we are waiting on for now.
Thanks for the heads up. Hope he will recouperate soon. Really looking forward to this, but i can wait... well, that was a lie :p. But i can endure the wait. Take the time that's needed for a smooth release.Quote:

Is there any way that we could be able to change the maps in purchased modules without having to replace all the pins?
My experience playing around with this indicates you can replace a map with a different one that's exactly the same filename. But if it's a different map with different dimensions and/or a different orientation, then the pins won't be in the right places and you'll need to move them around. I'm pretty sure the pins are saved at specific X,Y coordinates that probably won't be the same spots in a different image.
On the other hand, if all your doing is taking the original image, making changes to it (like removing room numbers, labels, and secret door markers) and not changing its dimensions or the file name, I bet it will work.
This works for campaigns. Unfortunately not for modules.Quote:

Mom is driving right now. I'm sleeping in the front passenger seat until we reach the next stop.
Using google translate, that roughly translates to "Paizo is driving right now. We're taking a rest until Paizo reach next stop."Quote:

So, what is the first thing that people plan on doing with the datasets when they release?
I am probably going to organise an adhoc "we be goblins" game :)
I'm going to change the filter in my furnace.
I'll spend my time going through the ruleset to see what works and what's included. Go through my current mods and figure out what I still need to keep and what I need to replace. Incorporate Rise of the Runelords into two existing campaigns, and start looking at the next module I want to consider.
I know there's a lot of really technical people in here so how about someone close to Seattle give Paizo a call and offer up some pro bono web developer services. Totally worth it if it gets us content by the weekend!
Do you know if Paizo is planning on converting their Pure Steam module for play in Fantasy Grounds?Quote:

Paizo's not doing the conversions, SmiteWorks is. In my opinion, SW will get around to it if the sales of the other PF modules prove worth it. Here's what has been said previously in this thread;Quote:

Paizo does not make Pure Steam. It's a 3rd Party Product.Quote:

Reach out to them, see if they might be interested in a FG conversion.Quote:
