It won't be available outside the US until mid January. Then only to Canada, Australia, the UK and India. (Taken right from the Blogpost)

Very insightful interview. The idea might be ahead of its time.

That was the goal of most computer games: D&D without any other players. This appears to be more of a choose your own adventure rather than a full blown game, but... It is just a matter of time from here.

I believe he's referring to the d20 OGL model of 3e,3.5e, and Pf1. It's a new system more based around their campaign world than an existing ruleset.

Saying that Paizo couldn't design a ruleset themselves is a bit shortsighted. Stephen Radney-Macfarland worked for WotC before moving over to Paizo. He helped develop the 4e rules as well as Pf2.

I respect your position on your perception of Pf2. There are a LOT of fiddly little bits that don't add up to much over the long haul. I have played most of the iterations of D&D (though ironically not any 3e) and a ton of Pf1. For me the switch is more about a reset of base and options than...

My son and I are enjoying the game, mainly because of our buy in of the setting and the organized play system. PF1 is his first system, but he enjoys 5e as well (weather I run it or not) Most of my PF1 group is switching over willingly and eagerly. We saw lots of bloat in the previous system...

Part 1 is definitely valid. I don't think that part 2 holds water. The Pathfinder Society scenarios are in demand for PF1 and 2. They are not printed and must be bought as pdfs. Having run and played the early seasons of AL, I was not impressed by the quality of writing, editing, or overall...

Give it the slowed condition (removing one of its actions)

The Free RPG Day mods are all 3-4 hour adventures, not quite a simple easy intro game. This is set up to give a taste of the new system without having the players invest too much time: "Sit down for 30 minutes while I show you how this works!" I can do a half dozen of these on a Saturday...

I would have thought that they would have included Amiri to show an impressive crit result on the players hand. I'm not planning on critting the players (at least not with the ogre), just demoing the game. That's the beauty of rolling behind the screen

Going to try to set up demo days with it to drum up interest for organized play.

Quests are simple short adventures, with a taste of the larger game PF2 quest here: paizo.com - Pathfinder Society Quest #1: The Sandstone Secret All 12 core characters at 1st level and a few at 5th Pregens here: paizo.com - Community Use Package: PF2E Iconics Pregenerated Characters

PF1 fixed it: a straight roll + Combat Maneuver Bonus compared to Combat Maneuver Defense. A feat here or there adjusted it, but otherwise, simple.

I don't think they were meant to be taken seriously, especially after the release of "We Be Goblins" This "reboot" of the ancestry tones this down, trying to make them an integral part of the existing societies. It will be a challenge for veterans of the old culture to change how they view/play...

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was running two games of Pathfinder Society and a game of 5e each week. It wasn't the system of 5e that is my problem, just straight burnout. The retreads wasn't the issue. They were good attempts to restat or rewrite an old favorite (LOVED running Curse of Strahd to...

That seems to be a failing of most PC sheets. I'm waiting for more of the detailed fan made sheets that put some of that information right onto the sheet (at the expense of a couple more pages of course)

As a late bloomer to rpg running/playing, I'm not moving from 5e to PF2. I will naturally seek out a PF2 game over 5e. I've run some of the 5e WotC adventures (only Curse of Strahd to completion) and had generally positive experiences. The party composition was almost always the same or had no...

My impression: Good addition to the core classes. It is a good fit for a utility/support character. The changes from 1e are welcome, moving from a limited transmuter type (could use spells that only targeted himself), to a true crafting/brewer alchemist. There IS plenty of room for new items...
