Hey there, goblins!  This week, we got our hands on the Dark Archive Remastered (well, a "grubby little PDF" of it). But instead of just listing patch notes—because Paizo didn't give us a changelog—we are doing a deep dive into the philosophy of this book.

We discuss why Dark Archive is actually "eight novellas in a trench coat," why the Psychic is mechanically just a Barbarian for your brain, and the fundamental difference between Arcane (Science) and Occult (Vibes).

In this episode:

What We Played: Robert takes on the Red Mantis assassins in Pray for Death, and Erik struggles through his first high-level Foundry game in Claws of the Tyrant.

The Structure: Why Dark Archive is the hardest PF2e book to navigate (and how to fix your mindset).

Class Deep Dives: The "Load Bearing Walls" of the Thaumaturge and Psychic.

The Weird Stuff: Rumored Cryptids, Living Vessels, and why this book feels like Powered by the Apocalypse smuggled into Pathfinder.
