Besides, I meant the guy who wanted to save the scraps so they could turn it into a Roomba smh

#7087

oh
huh

#7088

yea idk what the hell theyā€™ve been doing then cuz it sure as hell isnt new content books

#7089

i like pf2e for what it is the amount of good interesting content is insane but I couldnā€™t fathom trying to learn the minimum needed to play or dm

Iā€™ve stuck with hosting daggerheart and nimble for non-dnd rpgs, especially nimble it does a lot right and is easy to jump into if you know dnd

eh
i have found that the learning curve for me was mostly learning how to work foundry (thanks kyo) so i probably dont have a representative experience

Honestly pf2e isnā€™t too hard to dm, just like, run an Adventure Path (and maybe have Archives of Nethys open on another tab)

It does have a bit more required reading for a new player than like, dnd 5e, but given itā€™s extremely difficult to Make A Bad Character, if you start at level 1 and just choose on vibes youā€™ll be fine

i tried playing pf2e and got tired of the endless systems and subsystems and weirdness i think iā€™m too old to learn things that are new. itā€™s like itā€™s built for the minmaxers.

An advantage of playing pf2e online is that you can use foundry which automates almost everything. Significantly reduces bookkeeping.

thatā€™s rpobably an adventures path thing lets be real

#7096

paizo fucking loves putting in subsystems that are completely unrelated to the actual content

#7097

My understanding is it was created as a spiritual successor to 3.5e so, uh, yeah itā€™s for the number crunchers. I like a lot of what it does though. I like it overall more than 5e, but 5e is considerably easier to actually sit down and play if you arenā€™t using automation software.

No thatā€™s pf1e

Pf2e is closer to dnd 4e

You can tell because pf1e is literally just 3.5.5

There are like, feats and stuff that reference subsystems

I do not think subsystems actually show up in practice to matter enough though

The 4e comparison seems insane from what I remember of 4e, but itā€™s been awhile ig

if it helps 2e is in my mind a spiritual successor to 5e
