This guy breaks down just how bad the layout of the new PHB is. The cross referencing is non-existent and the subsections seem to go in the order someone thought of them. I’m sadly unsurprised that they’ve not improved on any of these problems which existed in the original 5e PHB.
Wait, remind me again: why are we still buying shit from this tone-deaf, greedy AF corp with a proven record of fanbase fuckery up there with GW?
full disclosure: I haven’t given WotC any money since ~'96, so it’s less a “we” and more a “y’all”, but I meant it in a collective “us”. 😅
Brand recognition, probably. Everyone outside the hobby has heard of D&D but none of them have heard of Pathfinder or Savage Worlds or whatever.
We can change that, though!
Fuck yeah Pathfinder!
Love me some Pathfinder. I’m gearing up for a solo game right now.
Right on! Published adventure or homebrew?
I’m in a group game right now that’s in the third act of Gatewalkers, and my own game is going to be homebrew. I considered getting the Kingmaker module for Foundry since I already have a license - I got it so my friend could GM Warhammer Fantasy RP for us - but my eyes watered at the $120 price tag for the Kingmaker module.
I’m over here subjecting my group to Changeling: the Dreaming.
That’s some defeatist rhetoric that only serves the corpos, friend. “Everyone outside the hobby”? Truly? And “none of them”, as well? Exceptionally inaccurate and clearly benefits the fuck-the-consumer goals of WotC. Keep their propaganda outta your mouth.
I said “we can change that” and I believe that. Let’s start promoting other TTRPGs wherever we can. How is that defeatist?
Let’s not argue in bad faith. The corpo rhetoric section I referred to is clearly not that statement, and said statement doesn’t change the fact that the former is still bullshit that doesn’t help any of us with its hyperbolic broad brush.
I’m not. I just got my PF2e remaster books which show how to do backwards compatible system updates well.
I started a Pathfinder game because I wanted to get away from D&D, and because two friends really got into Dimension20 stuff and wanted to give RPGs a try. I was digging the rules a lot but they’re watching 6-8 hours of D&D content a week and playing PF2E every couple of weeks, and it was just a huge disconnect for them. With Abomination Vaults getting a 5e release, it just seems easier to make the switch back to something my players are more comfortable with.
Now to convince my cousin he wants to run a PF2E game so I can get that bard life going.
That’s so sad. The people who have tried to move to making Pathfinder content got bludgeoned back to preaching the one true way of D&D by YouTube’s recommendation engine, too, meaning that there’s very little high production value PF2 content.
I can recommend Mortals & Portals, as an actual play.
I’m only 4 episodes into Mortals & Portals but will also second this recommendation. Those dudes are hilarious.
