Have Fun and Play

2020 Year-end wrap-up

In this episode we close out 2021 recapping the end of our Pathfinder 2e chapter. But first we dive into the Animal Crossing New Horizons 2.0 update. After a long dry-spell Nintendo drops the biggest update the Animal Crossing community has ever seen. With thousands of new items, recipes, songs, and mechanics from the expansion, Animal Crossing promises to bring lots of joy heading into 2022. Meanwhile, in our Pathfinder adventure the team managed to escape captivity in the outpost while it was under attack from mysterious forces. Unfortunately the party ended up killing some informants who may have had information on what exactly has been going on, and why the party keeps getting attacked by weird squid-creatures. What does Pathfinder have in-store for 2022 and what does the party have to look forward to as they begin a new chapter in the adventure?

Pathfinder 2e Secrets of Magic - with Luis Loza

In this episode we welcome Luis Loza back to the podcast to discuss our unfortunate encounter with Redcaps, as well as all of the incredible goodies for spellcasters in the Secrets of Magic book. Myron has been pouring over the 70 pages of new spells, looking for the perfect new additions to Chester’s somewhat dubious repertoire. There are all sorts of interesting new spells like Cast Into Time, which can send creatures tumbling through time only to be snatched back into their timeline, while being dealt some damage along the way. Or perhaps your group may have need to summon a Kaiju to help in your encounter? There’s incredible variety just waiting to be unlocked on our character sheets. We also spend some time recounting how the party is doing with the Redcap encounter (not so well), and Luis has some sage advice on how to deal with the nasty creatures. Luis does take us to task for leaving the path and heading into the forbidden forest. The game is called Pathfinder afterall, so perhaps that was not the wisest choice the party could have taken. We’re not quite sure how we will survive the encounter, but perhaps if we follow Luis’ advice we’ll have a fighting chance.

The Return of Lore and Recaps Galore

In this episode Myron gets hype about My hero One’s Justice 2 - a cool fighting game based on My Hero Academia characters. The crew recounts a banner evening of gaming which resulted in Myron striking out in Can’t Stop! And we wrap up discussing our latest Pathfinder episode. Not only did the party encounter Lore again on our travels, but we also came across a group of Redcaps. It seems that the party may have stumbled into a bigger challenge than Tom intended. The question is, will the party be able to survive the blood-thirsty Redcaps and continue on their mission?

It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just the rules.

In this episode Tom and Myron debate the merits of Avowel, the online version of Wordsy. Wordsy is a spelling game for folks who can’t spell, but Tom was less than impressed with the online implementation which apparently only accepted correctly spelled words. Meanwhile, in Pathfinder with Chapter 1 now closed we look forward to what Chapter 2 has in-store for our adventurers. To begin we all got to level up to fourth level and pick some new goodies for our character sheets. Myron picked a cool animal companion for Chester, Anna got some new buffs for the party, and JT is still unimpressed with what the Rogue class has to offer. While the players were all preoccupied updating their character sheets Tom was busy creating the newly won guildhall and guildmaster - Reuben. Surely Reuben’s introduction to the team will harrold new adventures for the party as we begin Chapter 2, titled Along the Unbroken Branch.

New Beginnings

In this episode we discuss what might be next for Animal Crossing and our Pathfinder adventure. E3 came and went without so much as a mention of Animal Crossing New Horizons, and the fandom let Nintendo in on their displeasure. The topic was trending on Twitter and Nintendo actually issued an apology, promising new and exciting activities in future updates. All the loyal players are still waiting, but for how long? In Pathfinder, with Fifi safely delivered and the guildhall secured, our Chapter 1 adventure has come to a close. We take some time to talk about what our characters are looking forward to in Chapter 2, and try to get Tom to spill the beans on what he has planned.
