edited a pf.conf file today, for the first time in ~8 years 🥲
#PF
A Wizard (Necromancer) who finished medical school without tracking to become a Cleric, their staunch disapproval of the Gods preventing them from ever bending the knee, and never being spiritually open enough to accept the Druidic paths.
They become a Necromancer out of their failure to use arcane magic to heal or raise others, living with a deep disappointment for themselves and their creations, as they hold no misgivings about what they've made or done, rather than the trite disillusion or wilful ignorance that typically comes with these tropes.
They yearn to find a way to heal without requiring the bit and the bridle and the yoke of the Gods. Surely, somewhere in the Arcane, there is a way to knit flesh and bone, to draw the soul back to the body, to restore that which once was, without resorting to this foul mockery of life?
They are also, like most medical professionals I've ever known, grimly practical. Foul mockery of life though they may be, bodies that can't be resurrected/healed aren't really being used by anyone anymore, so why waste them? Maybe there's some rebranding that can be done as well. Get rid of the stigma and all that.
Some great legs on this idea, especially if stepping outside of D&D5e/etc. PF2e would be a GREAT system to explore different directions for this character.
I use mainly pillowfort for my posting in recent few years. Even though it’s a small team behind it, and it’s still wip feels, I prefer it over there.
Things I personally like with pillowfort:
-Actual privacy control over your own posts, (and yes you can edit this later on too).
-Being able to customize your fort/blog with bg color and such.
-Nsfw art is allow, and there is a nsfw filter.
-Is rather good lgbt wise, and personally never seen any hate speech, big drama or harassment in there.
-They don’t sell your data and such.
-The pf staff and such are very transparent about stuff, and feels very easy to reach them compared to elsewhere.
-Able to make and join community of whatever interests. (I personally love there is actually environment for worldbuilders/own characters/ fantasy type of artists and such in there).
-Is more closer to older internet vibes, no algorithms, less stressful, less outrage, no constant bots pestering you. Just feel more chill like this.
Things I think should be improved in there:
-Better funding solution, so they can still stay afloat (they do want to plan to add paid post promotion thing eventually, as well gift subscriptions option).
-Searching, search could be even better.
-Any way to bookmark posts (bookmark is on their list of things they want to add though).
-I sometime would like having option to toggle to a grid version at times, specially when searching, but I don’t think that is anywhere near the point will happen
I truly hope pillowfort can stay, I come to really like that part of the internet.
(Btw, I feel cohost and pillowfort are very different sites, both vibes and functionality, so I do not feel either is replace of the other. I feel cohost is more open for shortposting and silly whacky posting, while pillowfort vibes are more long posting more presentable feels?. I just tend to prefer more presentation for my art blogs).
Like, Pathfinder was originally created as a sort of unofficial continuation of D&D 3.5, and so 1e is compatible with 3.5 (and 3.0). But 2e isn't compatible with 1e, which defeats that purpose. So why? What need does it fulfill?
