It seems to work for long term gaming just fine. Is anyone actually presenting that idea of other games as being particularly difficult? I think what is being expressed is the idea that D&D is, and has long been, the sort of gateway to the hobby. The entry level

Based on where it is at now, clearly Black Flag has been in the works for much longer than the OGL crisis. The point appears to be that they were using the OGL to hedge their bets by having a completed 5e based game to act as the core for their setting materials in case OneD&D strayed too...

You keep assuming that because there is something not working at your table in your games that there is something wrong WITH PATHFINDER, and that is not necessarily the most logical assumption to make. No sir I have not, I have pointed out flaws in your reasoning and suggested that your...

Those are all anecdotal pieces of information, and almost all of them personal anecdotes about your LGS, your PFS chapter, your campaigns. The other is just guesswork on your part

At a GenCon still slightly contracted from pre Pandemic years, that still doesn’t tell us much. An anecdote and an anecdote don’t fall in love and birth a baby fact. Paizo’s reduced presence in the Ballroom may have very little to do with interest, it could be a decision based on the success...

That knowledge of course goes against Paizo's statements about their business where they indicate that their bread and butter is the sale of campaign books. AP's are what fuels that company and they make no bones about it, nor have they ever. So you're not quoting "knowledge" you're guessing...

They claimed it was a successful launch at the time, so clearly they were unconcerned with the unsold copies you saw. Really? You have sure and concrete insight into sales data in this hobby that famously does not report or aggregate such data in any means approaching accuracy? Or are you just...

You are aware they have continued publishing both core; Adventure, AP and Lost Omens books since the line launch in 19, right? They didn’t publish three books and stop. Dark Archives just came out LAST WEEK, and there will be a lot of players at GenCon who haven’t had a chance to purchase that...

Fair point, I was more mentioning that there is a portion of the player base that never even touches them at all. I've never played PF 1 or 2 using a VTT

A great point. Let's not forget that the initial PF player base was entrenched 3.X players who were frankly unwilling to change. Though a portion walked away, a lot of those players stuck with PF2. They can very logically be of an age group still preferring to play in person. I know because...

Sure, but with the knowledge that there is a better functionality at Foundry that group could logically be smaller without it meaning anything about PF2's success. To say nothing of the fact that there are 14.9% of Roll20 Campaigns listed as "Uncategorized" and 11.5% listed as "Other" Any...

Pawns have indeed been cancelled, but both the Bestiary line and Alien Archives line were intended to be replaced with a differently structured product that provides Bestiary/Archive material alongside lore, new Ancestries/Classes/Archetypes, new spells, new gear, and occasionally pre-built...

We have “Read. Your. Posts.” and more than one of us have provided data that counters the assumptions you are making about data that in no way says what you are drawing from it. Maybe stop with the “my opinion is the objective truth” stuff and look at the totality of what has been said by others

How can a sales ranking that aggregates sales data from FLGS, independent and chain bookstores and Kickstarter to create an indication of quarterly sales NOT be a demonstration of the games performance? What do you think indicates how well a game is doing if not copies of the game itself being...

A single statistic from Roll 20 shows you a trend about Roll 20, not necessarily a trend about Pathfinder 2e. Stating that a flawed metric like that has more value than a sales figure is bad information literacy. Looking at the Orr Report you could in fact conclude that Call of Cthulhu continues...

I really don't see how a report that shows how many campaigns were created on a single VTT platform is somehow more reflective of a games overall status than a quarterly sales report. Sure, we don't have hard and fast numbers to show how many sales those numbers actually represent - but being...

Justin L: Okay guys thanks for coming to todays staff meetings about Discord handles. I've decided we have to make sure we represent ourselves accurately to our fans. In that spirit I've chosen to use the name of Tolkien's Lucifer analogue from the Silmarillion. Michael Y: Excellent, I was...

I don't know that the Orr report and Reddit engagement really gives anything approaching a clear picture of how PF2e is doing. The Orr report only measures engagement on a VTT platform that is not the preferred VTT of PF2 players, and contains a HUGE uncategorized group of games that could...

RancidLord announces his leanings fairly clearly. LaNasa using the name of the primary villain of Tolkien's legendarium is equally as telling

I'd say that internships are typically short term solution, but then - so was Michael's tenure in his position.
