Hello! Just a couple quick questions as we start 2e for the first time. I'm a fairly experienced GM but my players are pretty new. Anyway:

  1. Is a 100 sided die fine or do we want to stick to the 2d10 for percentiles?

  2. Has anyone made an Ogre playable race for 2e?

  3. Is there a complete list of the random career rolling chart for 2e? I'm assuming there'd be one in the career compendium but I haven't checked yet.

  4. The Thousand Thrones or Paths of the Damned? Probably not Plundered Vaults, but maybe?

Thanks!

  1. Is a 100 sided die fine or do we want to stick to the 2d10 for percentiles?

It's fine, as long as you are fine with it rolling for twenty years and falling of the table ;) Tho, spellcasters and priests will need several d10s anyways. Otherwise, it's just preference.

  1. Has anyone made an Ogre playable race for 2e?

There is an official race for Chaos Ogres in Tome of Corruption - if you remove mutations it should be fine to go. Though Ogres are on a bit higher power level, compared even to Elves, so there may be some balance issues. I would discuss with the players if they are ok with one of the PCs being just straight up stronger than the rest to some degree before you allow Ogres. Even if they do, you might want to cut the Fate points for Ogres to balance them a bit.

  1. Is there a complete list of the random career rolling chart for 2e? I'm assuming there'd be one in the career compendium but I haven't checked yet.

Yep, it's in Career Compendium. It actually has three master tables - classic one, by class (academics, commoners, warriors etc.) and by enviroment.

  1. The Thousand Thrones or Paths of the Damned? Probably not Plundered Vaults, but maybe?

Paths of the Damned is the more "classic" one. It also picks up where the core rulebook's adventure ends. But ultimitely just read the description and take the one that intrests you the most. I'm gonna add my two cents and say - don't sleep on the Lure of the Lich Lord as well.
