Know Direction 306 – Battlecry

Battlecry!, the latest sourcebook for Pathfinder 2e, is full of amazing options, like the new Jotunborn big beefy ancestry with planar connections, the new commander and guardian classes, a leader and a protector, respectively, and a new skirmish system to put your PC in the middle of epic battles. The book’s design lead, our own Jason Keeley, joins Ryan to talk about all of that and more.

However, that’s not all that Battlecry! has to offer. Ryan spends the first segment of the episode looking at four of the new archetypes introduced in the book, and how they encapsulate different ways an RPG option can be good. Then, in the final segment of the episode, Jake from Wisdom Check, himself highly invested in the Battlecry! archetypes lately on his YouTube channel, tells Ryan what he loves about Pathfinder, and what he brings to the community.

What started as one gamer wanting to talk about his love of a game grew into a podcast network. Ryan founded what would become the Know Direction Podcast network with Jason "Jay" Dubsky, his friend and fellow 3.5 enthusiast. They and their game group moved on to Pathfinder, and the Know Direction podcast network was born. Now married and a father, Ryan continues to serve the network as the director of logistics and co-host of Upshift podcast, dedicated to the Essence20 RPG system he writes for and helped design.
