The art has been a miss for me too. It's particularly noticeable when they "reinterpret" 1e covers e.g the Core Rulebook or the upcoming Advanced Player's Guide covers both look decidedly worse than the original pieces on which they are based to my eyes. The Deck of Many Worlds looks like fun...

On my preferred RPG site, RPGGeek, there seems to be zero interest in the new edition. There are a large number of PF1 PBFs currently running, with new games starting up every month. I think I've seen 1 PF2 PBF start up since it was released. Of course, this is only one website and I'm not sure...

I started with the BECMI sets in elementary school before moving on to MERP and Rolemaster in middle school and high school respectively. Then I left the hobby for a long time before returning to play 3.5/3.x/PF. Tried 5e when it released but ultimately decided 3.x was my preferred system for...

If you spend three actions to move in PF2 you can't run and fight either, though? Also, no need to be so snippy.

In PF1 you can run 4 times your speed. What makes PF2 "much more mobile"?

I agree with you here. But, worryingly, they're not particularly positive re: P1 either. It seems to me, each faction takes every opportunity to dump on the other's game preference. I think this situation must be a real worry for Paizo. Gamers in general really need to relax and let people...

I agree the graphics look cool. Brown on "bone" brown is just not a colour combo I've ever wanted in a dice set.

I wonder what the P2 design team's fetish with brown is? First they had that fugly brown character sheet, now these beige dice? I have a few sets of Q-Workshop's PF AP themed dice, but I don't see myself getting these.

I haven't really liked the art too much either. Although, I admit, I haven't seen much of it. At a glance the PF1 Core Rulebook cover looks much nicer than the new edition. I don't like the orange/red tones. Reminds me of the fugly 5e PHB. The dragon looks odd to me. The iconics look odd.

You might have been checking the Pathfinder Society sub, which I've never visited. r/Pathfinder_RPG is the primary Pathfinder sub. It currently has 782 people online. I've never seen it as low as 57.

Starfinder could be used to run derivative Star Wars adventures but, as you say, why would you when there are so many actual Star Wars games available. The Starfinder setting is much more flexible and diverse than you give it credit for. Personally, I don't like Star Wars, but I'm very much...

Yes, understood. Sorry, my comment ended up slightly irrelevant as I decided to cut my final sentence where I noted my three PF1 pocket edition purchases contrasted with zero products being purchased for the new system. A lot of the online negativity around PF2 makes me cringe, tbh. I didn't...

The PF1 pocket Core Rulebook is such a great product. It makes referencing something at the table so easy. Personally, I've bought three copies this year. One for myself and two as birthday gifts for the other two GMs in our group.

If you enjoy Nidal, check out this YouTube channel's Nidal lore video. This channel's production is really top notch and it totally deserves far more subscribers than it currently enjoys.

That's interesting. Do those 1e Core Rulebook sales include the Pocket Edition? Completely anecdotally, I am noticing a distinct enthusiasm gap for the new edition in my immediate circles. I play with one group face to face here in Japan. It consists of 6 members, none of whom have bought any...

I like 5e's art in general, but I hate the Player's Handbook. Too bright and garish. All that red and orange is painful to look at. I think the Elmore BECMI covers are probably the pinnacle for me - could be nostalgia, I guess, but I just love those covers (except maybe the "I" cover.).

Hmm, take from that what you will. Personally, I'd say neither of those books are 5 star products. Re: Pathfinder, I have noticed a lot of people posting overly negative, one star reviews online for a range Paizo products in general, based on their reaction to Paizo's inclusivity (or "SJW"...

I think there has been Alien Archive 2 and 3 and Armory released since Pact Worlds if my mental timeline is correct.

I'm looking forward to this. I haven't felt compelled to pick up a Starfinder hardcover since the Pact Worlds setting book, but this looks really good.

Paizo does produce stand alone 64 page modules for Pathfinder. Not Starfinder, however.
