Fae: A GLoG Race-as-Classis “We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.” - C.S. Lewis Faë: You are a creature of the wilds, a spirit given flesh, an ageless being ever striding through the hidden places.

A more polished version of this ruleset is available here . For posterity's sake, this post will not be edited, as a testament to the creative process. What do I like about PF2E? Glad you didn't ask, because then I'd ramble for a bit. I'd say things like... Action Economy! It's so simple, everything's just an action, but you can only do three of them! No nonsense about move action, main action, bonus action, all that tripe, it's just action! We love it! Crit Ranges! Exceed the DC by 10? You CRIT! More Crits! More Crits are good! Until the monsters crit... but regardless! CRIT! Diseases! Tired of dying by a spear trap through your posterior? Why not die slowly and painfully over the course of weeks!?

  A GLoG For Everyone The plan is simple, profound, and idiotic. We play GLoG. Characters are built using a simple, compatibility-focused ruleset, found here . Absolutely any published GLoG classes are welcome. Gamemasters add their dungeons/adventuring locations to the map, and state when they're available to play. Players schedule with the GMs, and show up at the designated time. GLoG is played. After the session, the party returns to town, gains XP for GP, and may purchase gear, carouse, etc. One player writes up a report in the style of a newspaper article, so the whole server can learn what happened. The GM updates their dungeon as they see fit, and the whole cycle repeats. That's it. That's the plan. If you like that plan, you can join here . EDIT: Like this guy did. "Distributed Campaign Style"
