[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 7737076, member: 17607"] If PF2 can't really do Theater of the Mind, then they're going to have a hard time getting people to put together the kinds of streaming games that are helping to make D&D 5e so popular -- Dice, Camera, Action uses a virtual map, but only to set the place, not with virtual minis or any kind of tactical activity, and Critical Role doesn't show a battlemap at all. A critic could argue that nothing prevents Pathfinder folks from making a streaming game (and some [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/comments/6b9j46/streaming_pathfinder_dos_and_donts/?st=jekibc9v&sh=125d2443"]already have[/URL]), it's telling that the first DO from that linked article is "know the game, because every time you have to look up a rule its time you're not spending interacting with your audience", and the first DON'T is "don't have some really knowledgeable players and some newb because the knowledgeable players will end up playing the newbs' characters for them" then you have some idea why there don't seem to be any existing PF streams that have the kind of visibility of the ones I note above. I don't think PF2 has to be streamable to be an acceptable upgrade, but given the popularity of 5e streams, I'd be shocked if the Paizo folks weren't asking themselves if there are ways to make PF2 more stream-friendly. -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
