fav non dice randomization mechanic? (jenga, cards, etc)

It's not a radnomizer, but I'd be remiss to not at least mention that I love how Belonging Outside Belonging games do diceless play (an incredibly simple token economy). The Jenga tower also fascinates me - I dearly want to play Star-Crossed still!

So we know how you feel about the Vindicator, any other Battletech favorites?

the Marauder, Crab, and King Crab all share a broad silhouette that i absolutely adore, while it's hard not to love the Highlander, and the Annihilator absolutely sells the fantasy of piloting a fucking kaiju lol. the Mad Cat is also a classic for a reason

I’m sorry about the robot question!

Favorite robots designs?

character archetype you haven't played (either at all or in a long time) that you'd love a chance to?

on the short list: a privateer captain, a mutant, a character of profound faith, a spy, about eight different kinds of psychic

Thoughts on the new king gizzard and the lizard wizard album?

i only really like Dripping Tap, Kepler-22b, and Presumptuous, but i like them A LOT

Favorite deities or other forms of worship? (From any campaign setting.)

Ilmater, from the Realms, was my first love. I wrote a whole book about how much I like Eberron’s god of change, The Traveler. My big Pathfinder standouts are Arazni, Casandalee, and Kazutal.

what's a campaign you'd love to play/run but probably never will, for whatever reason

i highly doubt i'll ever get to do a full all-of-WW2 run of Night Witches, but my god, what a dream

give us the deets on a beloved PC of yours

bold of you to assume i have any PCs. i haven't been a player in anything other than a one- or two-shit since i was 19 (i'm almost always the GM)

Any advice on running 24xx games? do you just wing the whole thing from start to finish?

i'm doing much less improv than the text assumes, i think, but even my prep manages to fit in one page; my advice is to not roll for everything (let them succeed if it's not interesting to fail!) and make sure you don't fall into the trip of treating combat differently from everything else

How do you feel about dice now that so many games are being run online nowadays?

i've never had the physical dice fetish that runs so rampant in the hobby; the overwhelming majority of my play experience at this point is online, and i'm plenty content with dice rollers

Expectations/predictions for this year's PaizoCon?

my unhinged wildest dreams are that we see a book announcement/playtest for a 2e Inquisitor and some sort of Arcadia book in the LO line! i'd love to be right - but sadly, i think some love to Avistan is overdue in this edition (much to my chagrin, unless it's a Broken Lands LO book)

Dragons?

Any other classes you hope get added to Pathfinder 2e that were in 1e? Assuming they don't get the Oracle treatment

Inquisitor is top of the list; I adore the class fantasy, and don't currently jive with any of the divine options in 2e. I certainly wouldn't complain about revisits to the Medium, Kineticist, or Shifter, either.

Favorite 'classic' fantasy ancestry? (Human, dwarf, orc, elf, goblin, etc.)

I've grown on elves a lot. I love when they're presented as alien weirdos - think the eladrin in D&D 4e, or the elves in the second Hellboy movie - and it makes my heart sing that they're literally from another planet in Pathfinder. PF2 doing such a good job of characterizing the various elven ethnicities has also made me warm up to them further; the three Mualijae nations are each distinct and so much more than most do with "African elves," while I'm dying to read more about both the Vourinoi and the Spiresworn.

I consumed a ton of Drizzt books as a kid, too. Bless Spire and Heart for doing so much to rehabilitate drow.
