Earlier this week some troubling allegations came out against Paizo, some specifically directed at me. In light of all of this, I feel that I owe everyone an explanation. To that end, I have prepared a statement and am happy to clarify as necessary. Take care of yourselves. A long letter discussing the allegations. If you need a text copy of this image, @ me and I will get that to you.
I've been asked why it took a bit for me to deliver a response. It took quite some time to parse my feelings on all of this and to take a hard look at myself. Crafting the message took almost a day. I wish it could've been faster, but it was more important for me to get it right.

I can teach you the core concepts and how to play Pathfinder 2E in one thread... so if you are new or curious about the game, pull up a chair and I will give you the basics... 🧵1/12
Character creation is as easy as ABC... just pick your Ancestry, Background, and Class. Each one of these choices will have a few other choices to go with it. What is your elven heritage? Pick a feat to represent a special trick you learned as a fighter. 🧵2/12
Every important statistic in the game is measured by your proficiency (untrained, trained, expert, master, or legend). Whenever you roll a check using that statistic, you generally roll a d20 + your level + an attribute mod + gear (if any) + your proficiency (+0/2/4/6/8)🧵3/12

Just to give you all some insight on how thin things are in the RPG business, in 2 days, I am going to release the PDF and PoD version of a 32 page #Pathfinder2E adventure that I wrote, set in my own personal setting of Eventide! I am not sure this product will break even. 🧵
I have cut just about every corner that I can. I wrote it and I did the maps and layout. Between new, original art and hiring an experienced editor, I spent $2,500. I make about $6.50 per PDF or PoD that I sell (roughly). To break even, I will need to sell 384 copies.
But that does not count my time spent making it. At all. I easily spent 80 hours writing, developing, playtesting, and laying out this adventure. To cover costs and for me to make minimum wage, the number I will need to sell jumps to over 600.

Alright, let me break it down here into a few very simple steps.

Pathfinder 2E Character Creation in 7 simple tweets!
#Pathfinder2E
Step 1: Envision your character!

Flip through the books, looking at the ancestries and classes. Imagine how they might come together to create your PC! Alternatively, draw from fiction or your imagination to get started.

Chat with the group about your idea to make a fun party.
Step 2: Pick your Ancestry

- Record its basic stats and pick your boosts (remember you cannot double up)
- Pick a heritage and record its bonuses.
- Decide upon a single 1st level feat and record its details.

All of these should help flesh out your character image.

Let me talk for a minute about a difficult time I had about 15 years ago, when I realized I had to stop identifying myself with D&D. I suspect many of you are, in some way, feeling some of the same things.
I grew up playing D&D. I went to my first Gen Con at age 11. I spent my teens playing with friends, evangelizing to draw in new players, and working on my own campaigns. It was a core of my teen experience and as I grew up, it became something I used to identify myself.
I started playing in the RPGA in the 90s and signed up to help run the Living Greyhawk campaign in '99. I was all in. When a position opened at Wotc in 04, I applied and nearly got the job! While I did not get it, I did land a job working on Dragon magazine at Paizo!

So, there are a lot of folks out there looking to give #Pathfinder2E a try, and I've been seeing this question quite a bit

Where do I start?

Well, let me help you on your quest, and please feel free to share this far and wide! 🧵1/12 Image
If you're experienced with RPGs pick up the Pathfinder Core Rulebook! It has all the rules for players and GMs to get started, including character creation, playing the game, designing adventures, and even a primer on the World of Lost Omens (our setting)! 🧵2/12 Image
If you plan on being the Game Master, might I also recommend picking up 1 or more of the Pathfinder Bestiaries! Each contains hundreds of monsters to add to your game, from familiar critters like vampires and minotaurs to beasts from our world, like the Leshy and Proteans! 🧵3/12 Image

One of the things I loved about last night's #TalesFromTheLoop game, was that all of the following scenes were added to the plot, but were just as important to the narrative as the main story...
1. Two of the teens went to Echo Base, the local comic book shop, to check out the owner's preview of the brand new Nintendo Entertainment System, and after playing for several hours, they ended up missing their curfew and getting into trouble.
2. The high school bully stole one of the PCs junky servitor robot (that he had salvaged from the local rust yard) and broke off its legs, but after learning that it was not the nerdy characters robot, he was convinced to give it back and chip in a couple of bucks to fix it.
