Pathfinder 2E Release Day Second Edition Amazon Sales Rank

[The-Magic-Sword]

There are only 25,000 subs on the PF2E Subreddit. That's... really not a lot, particularly after two years.

If I'm reading the chart I linked above correctly, we got like those subs in like the last six months. The game itself came out a year and a half ago, at this point.

As a point of comparison, the Pathfinder general Subreddit, which is almost all 1E chatter, has 100,000+ subs, while D&D Next, the major 5E focused Subreddit, has 440,000.

The generic D&D Subreddit has 3.4 million, and the Call of Cthulu Subreddit has 34,300.

While accurate, none of those systems are this young.

I mean, it's grown, but it's still a fraction of the active PF1E community, and smaller than other RPG Subreddits, like Call of Cthulu.

It's not that nobody plays it, or is buying it, but it is not what Pathfinder was, or could have been.

It's nigh two years old at this point, that's not really new anymore. Relative growth is nice and all, but PF2E isn't the new kid in the block at this point.

I don't view it as the sort of product that's defined by its starting market penetration, I see it as a climb, and specifically one that progressively gains more momentum.

But as the Amazon numbers show, the momentum is not growing, in particular, and the hour is late. And the numbers on the PF2E Subreddit have not really surged that much since the playtest, just like 10,000 or so.

Which is nearly double XD

Accurate, I'm sorry If I did insult you personally, it was your players putting you through that sort of stuff (in prior comments as well) that I was criticizing.

None taken. Honestly, I was appreciative to get the outsider validation of what I was going through with how I ultimately handled the situation by dissolving the group.

I've signed up for a few games PF2 Society games at Virtual TotalCon next weekend. I'll get a chance to play and see if I can enjoy the system better with a new perspective. It's also a way to put my money where my mouth is. I've been critical that I wasn't seeing much activity on the Society front, so I wanted to at least show them some support.
Heck, if things go well, Abomination Vaults is getting some good buzz. I might even try that (with a new group) and on Foundry. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
