Should I be "mystifying" the items in the Abomination Vaults Foundry module? (pathfinder.social)
 

I've never really run 2e before this except for the Beginner's Box, and because I worked that into Foundry myself I mystified all the items. But I see that the AV Foundry module doesn't mystify anything, which leads me to wonder if I should be making players identify items or not?

Obviously healing potions I don't, since they have encountered them enough to know what they are.

What devices do you use for running games? in c/pf2general@pathfinder.social

As a GM:

I host online for friends, so we use digital tools.

  • Foundry, hosted on my desktop computer, with these modules:
    • Dice So Nice, and several skins.
    • Dice Tray, to make rolling single dice easier.
    • Pathbuilder Importer mostly for my lazy players.
  • Obsidian, for when I'm running homebrew. But with the revamping of Foundry's journal system, I may stop using this.
  • Discord for game audio.

As a player:

I have a tablet PC with a pen. I take notes on Rnote (free, open source.) I used to use OneNote which was great because I could search my handwriting, but I stopped using Windows.

Historically, I always used physical dice because I was playing in-person. I did my PF1e character sheets manually by writing on the PDF in OneNote, but for PF2e I do enjoy Pathbuilder to help me plan it out. For actual play, I build my character sheet in Foundry (even if the GM isn't using it for the game) just to make everything easy for me to find.

What kind of official AP would you like Paizo to make? in c/pf2general@pathfinder.social

Every time there's a big Paizo announcement coming up for Starfinder I get far too hyped, hoping for a Starfinder 2e announcement. I love the idea of Starfinder, but having looked at the rules I don't really want to play it until it get updated.
