Absolutely and we've been using with ACKSII for the last year or so. The two system integrate on a very solid basis.

There are, in fact, a LOT of exclamation points in this newsletter! I probably should drink less coffee late at night.
Today at Arbiter of Worlds, we have so many announcements! So many exclamation points! Second printings, podcasts, softcovers, and more! Link in comments.

I'm excited to share this awesome cover art by @MikePerryArt for Autarch's upcoming Annals of the Auran Empire crowdfunding campaign (link in comments), illustrating a scene from @johncwright2001 's short story "Shadowblade".

@_Autarch_ The Barbarian class in ACKS II has a special ability that allows them to reroll Grievous Wounds Table results. In practical terms that lessens the effect of falling in battle and incentivizes charging pell-mell into combat. An outstanding mechanic.

Sent to me on the Autarch Discord. The ACKS II bard has been a sleeper hit.

"Within its pages you will find men of valor with strong convictions, a road of temptations lined with good intentions, and a clash so disastrous it will reshape the Eracian kingdom for centuries to come." They literally don't make them like this anymore...

Paizo is following the same path as WOTC they are just lagging behind by a few years. We broke from them when their game director decided to call half of America (the conservatives) facists. Long live @trolllordgames and @_Autarch_ for focusing on gameplay and not their personal politics. Not to mention (as I will,) C&C gives a discount to vets!! Bulmahn stated that there was "no space for fascists in our game" and suggested that Vice President Vance should send back any Pathfinder books he possessed if he ever played the game. He even doubled down after he was caught doing this, blocking anyone who criticized his post rather than apologizing for trying to gatekeep RPGs on behalf of his extreme leftist ideologies.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book as a source of rules for body parts and training up youngling monsters. The lairs are pretty darn good too. Kudos to @_Autarch_

My group and i have departed from dnd and pathfinder and found a great alot of fun in picking up and learning acksii. I rather enjoy going from nigh immortal powerplay in modern systems to the much more unforgiving crawl. Plus cleave has been insanely fun.
