Hey, gang! I think in the old forum I started a thread on this, and I'm flexing my chops getting this Vaesen game going, so I thought I'd revive it here in 2025. Post your tricks to finding players and building your perfect gaming beast here!

Are there players/GMs who would be interested in playing PF2E?

Hello everyone! Excited to have found this community. I’m a new game master and loved the proactive campaign book when I read it a couple of years ago. So, when I found out a sequel was coming, I started googling and came to this site! Woohoo! I have a practical question that I’d love some collected wisdom on: how do you provide just enough information about your world to give players enough to build interesting and informed goals (as if they have been living in that world). Especially if you are using published settings like Midgard (Kobold Press) or Fearun/Forbidden Coast (D&D). Maybe this will be addressed in the upcoming book, or if this was explicitly handled in the first please let me know! Been a year or two since I last read it.

So I recently finished reading through Jonah and Tristan’s role playing book as well as Return of the Lazy DM. Both excellent reads by the way and you should check them out as a game master, but does anyone suggest other books on running games?

Anyone else over-prep here? I'm autistic and CAN'T HELP MYSELF! I designed something like 100 NPCs just to flesh out Constantinople by Night because that city didn't have enough NPCs in the sourcebook. I KNOW I won't use even half of them, but THEY'RE THERE so I know how the city ticks now!
