Is Pathfinder 2 Paizo's 4E?

I have found that the best way to get people to play your game is to run that game in public. Even if you sit there a few times at an empty table.
A good game will with a willing DM will attract players.

after that the devil is in the details. Behave politely, be positive about your game, don’t put down other games, run a decent game

and keep showing up regularly.

sometimes it’ll take people a bit to trust you.

and I dont mean trust as in if your a decent human, but trust you won’t flake out.

Where Paizo is astronomically ahead of Wizards is their willingness to go darker. Wizards made Hell goddamn sanitized.

Ok

This, problem is finding a PF2 game to play.

Run them. Play will happen.

Sorry man, not sure what you meant.

You can't try before you buy is the point.

I'm not gonna go and drop north of $100 on a game I might not like.

Their pdfs are a lot cheaper.
The PF2SRD is free.
You would not need to drop that amount of money.

I'd like to see a real quickstart (self contained) or at least something like Hollow's Last Hope (which was tons of fun)

But with the 2RD and the pre-gens in the free encounter they released (I have a hard time calling that thing an adventure) you can probably just purchase a pdf of the new introductory adventure/s and try for a minimal expense.
