PF1.0 is still there for you

ST is good out of the gate. I found it just fell off hard after S1. Hat’s off to the marketing team though. They saturated the internet with gifs and image macros and even managed to get a meme template generated.

This show is still going?

If you’re a Catholic cleric you should. Comparative religion and the study of other faiths and faith traditions is essential to seminary studies as well as the practical education of the ordained.

It’s fun you think that people in this region trying to kill each other will ever stop.

Not really, yes the US is a net exporter of oil; however, the refineries in the US can’t process the type of oil the US produces. So, America exports sour crude and imports sweet crude.

There’s a lot of value to telegraphing this particular set of operations as it gives Iran time to move any high-value targets and prevent out-of-control escalation.

We wanted 21st Century Sherman in Texas, not in Gaza.

The host nations for these military installations sure as hell don’t.

Lawfare, as usual, has a more in-depth article than any of the major news outlets. You can very much see the expertise on display in their work.

Ukraine’s inability to establish complete air superiority is what is making Russia’s ability to sacrifice its own people in droves a viable strategy and tactic. NATO (and the US specifically) has spent decades ensuring that it can establish complete control of the skies within a few days of the outbreak of hostilities; when you have air superiority in a theater, waves of infantry and massive amounts of artillery just turns into targets for air-based weapons platforms which cannot currently operate in Ukraine due to Russia’s ability to maintain its AA systems. These AA systems are a non-issue in a NATO conflict due to the money and time which has been poured into developing stand-off munitions and stealth platforms designed to cripple AA and even detection systems.

Israel was able to execute the Bekaa Valley Turkey Shoot forty years ago because of NATO (US) weapons platforms and strategic vision. Ukraine is unable to establish air superiority because they don’t have enough of the former.

I don’t really count “instead of x you get y & instead of A you get B” as a new class.

That’s fair, neither does Pathfinder 1.0, those are archetypes.

There is truly more variance.

I simply reject this statement wholesale.

This was more meant for people comparing 5e & PF2e

It makes sense in this context.

PF1.0 fixed fatal flaws in 3.5e. There is a reason it’s often called 3.5+, 3.5.5, or 3.75. PF1.0 does in fact have more classes, archetypes, and prestige classes than base 3.5e. 3.5e is, IMHO, the best version of DND for people who like crunchiness and are willing to deal with major feat and balance issues. PF1.0 is the best version of DND for people who like crunchiness and don’t mind feat bloat and mandatory feat paths for specific builds; it remains my favorite TTRPG.

Solid work. Chinese imperialism must be resisted on every front.

Top level comment is dumb.

So, it doesn’t really apply at all to the US?

Really? You want the Supreme Court to determine which political organizations are ineligible for participation in the democracy?

China has more than 370 ships and submarines, up from the 340 ships they had in 2023, according to an annual report, opens new tab released by the Pentagon in October, making it numerically the largest navy in the world.

Notably absent from this paragraph is tonnage, capabilities, and seaworthiness (Chinese carriers keep killing their own sailors and needing to be towed back to port). Be better, Reuters.

Strong fact-based argument, pal.

Defense spending prevents wars.
