Brute Force

Pathfinder is a heroic fantasy roleplaying game system with a high amount of character customization and progression, published by Paizo in 2009. It was developed as a response to Wizards of the Coast transitioning the D&D genre to D&D 4th Edition, which was seen as a strong deviation from the math-heavy norm from 3.5E. Pathfinder was built using the Open Game License (OGL) to revise and expand upon the beloved 3.5 ruleset.  The system it directly evolved from is Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition The second edition of the game was released in 2019 as Pathfinder 2nd Edition Description Pathfinder 1e is well known for its "crunch". It relies heavily on strict rules, mechanical variation and math. The system is perfect for players who prefer heavy character optimization and customization, focus on tactical combat encounters and a strong ruleset for almost any situation. Pathfinder is proud of it's complexity and very much focuses on it. Boasting a massive library of  spells, classes, and feats, allows the players to build very mechanically different and unique characters. It is also renowned for its "Adventure Paths": epic, six-part published campaigns that take characters from level 1 to roughly level 20. System Overview & Key Features The d20 System & Action Economy Like 3.5E, the core engine runs on a d20 roll plus modifiers. On every turn the characters have a set structure to perform their actions. Mechanically separated into Standard, Move and Swift actions. Archetypes & Deep Customization Instead of relying on complicated "Prestige Classes," Pathfinder 1e popularized "Archetypes." These allow players to swap out base class features for heavily themed alternatives right from level 1. This enables the players an extensive levels of customization when combining with the thousands of available feats to further personalise their unique character concept. Base Attack Bonus (BAB) Martial prowess is measured by a Base Attack Bonus. As this number grows, martial classes can eventually achieve "iterative attacks," allowing them to attack with their weapons multiple times per their turns, although penalties apply for repeated attempts. Combat Maneuver Mechanics (CMB/CMD) The system introduced two systems to simplify actions like tripping, grappling or disarming your opponents: Combat Maneuver Bonus and Combat Maneuver Defense. This created a single, reliable formula to use when performing maneuvers against an enemy. Skill Ranks Instead of a single "Proficiency Bonus" like in modern games, players are given a pool of Skill Points at every level (determined by their class and Intelligence score) to manually distribute across a massive list of skills, allowing for highly granular non-combat abilities. Lethality and "Crunch" As characters level up, the numbers grow exponentially. This means, that by reaching higher levels of encounters, characters and their opponents are dealing huge amounts of damage, alongside with various magical buffs and spells that could instantly kill a character. Planning and tracking situational modifiers and buffs becomes vital for survival.

LegendKeeper is a browser-based worldbuilding application and campaign management tool designed for tabletop role-playing games and creative writing. Developed independently by Braden Marshall and the LegendKeeper team, the platform functions as a collaborative digital wiki and interactive map archive. It is engineered specifically to assist Game Masters and authors in organizing lore, structuring narratives, and tracking geographical locations without the mechanical overhead of a virtual tabletop (VTT). Description LegendKeeper operates as a centralized, cloud-based repository for campaign data. Instead of providing digital dice rollers, tactical grids, or character sheets, the software focuses entirely on documentation and worldbuilding. Users construct interconnected wiki pages to detail characters, factions, and histories, which can then be directly linked to customizable, interactive maps. The platform supports granular permission settings, allowing a Game Master to selectively share specific articles or map pins with players while keeping underlying secrets hidden. Key Features Wiki and Rich Text Editor The core of the platform is a comprehensive wiki system. Users can create formatted articles using a rich text editor that includes slash-commands. The editor allows for the rapid insertion of tables, sub-pages, and formatting structures to organize campaign information in a hierarchical format. Interactive Mapping Users can upload high-resolution image files to serve as maps for their fictional worlds, continents, or cities. Game Masters can drop interactive "pins" onto these maps, which hyperlink directly to specific wiki articles. These pins can be categorized with custom tags and filtered, allowing users to isolate specific points of interest on the map. Auto-Linking and @Mentions To facilitate a heavily interconnected database, the software includes link detection and @mention functionality. Typing the '@' symbol followed by the name of an existing page or character automatically generates a hyperlink. Hovering over these links during gameplay provides a quick preview of the associated article without requiring the user to navigate away from their current page. Whiteboards The application includes digital whiteboards that allow users to visually map out relationships, family trees, or organizational structures. Users can place text boxes, page links, and images onto a free-form canvas and connect them with nodes to represent complex narrative webs. Template Management To reduce repetitive data entry, users can create and save custom page templates. A Game Master can design a standard layout for a tavern, a non-player character, or a dungeon, and instantly apply that structure whenever a new wiki page of that category is generated. Granular Privacy Controls Because the tool is designed for collaborative campaigns, it includes robust permission settings. Game Masters can hide specific wiki pages, map pins, or individual blocks of text within an otherwise public article. This allows players to read the known lore of a location while keeping the Game Master's specific session notes completely invisible to them.
