Where I live - Denmark - a movie ticket costs easily $15. With popcorn and a soda it would cost $20. A D&D book at the FLGS costs $60. I could get it cheaper online but I want to support the local shop and not Bezos. It is only three times a movie ticket. The movie lasts 2 hours. So far we have...

God please stop. It’s not a given right to own D&D books. If you think they’re too expensive just don’t buy them. It’s such short sighted selfishness trying to make a case for pirating RPG books. It’s almost impossible for creatives making a living out of RPG books unless you’re Wotc. I think...

Can you elaborate what you mean here? I am GM'ing 5e (with great success, we all love it), and haven't GM'ing PF2. I have some of the PF2 books though, and when looking at the monsters in PF2 I do feel like some of them seem more interesting.

Yup, that I agree with.

In the Dragon Talk from 20th of november, Jeremy Crawford talked about this, and did mention that a lot of feedback was about how the Archivist was "stepping on the Wizards toes".

Just the fact that AoA isn't available (yet) on Roll20 should be enough for the players to understand that you guys need to change AP. Hope you will get it all sorted out.

Because of Tiamat, Strahd, Acererak, Volo, Eberron, FR, Ravenloft, etc: so many iconic monsters, fiends, settings and what not. Not many other RPGs have so much lore and fluff (with some exceptions like CoC and WFRP). Because of DragonTalk, Critical Role, How We Roll podcast etc. Not many other...

Could not agree more. People in the Twitter-sphere seriously overestimate these controversies’ impact on most RPGers who have never visited a message board for RPG, or have any idea who Chris Perkins is. Many people just play and that’s that. And since it’s such a niche hobby, none of yelling...

What a funny idea. I liked it.

Yeah, it's a shame going through that adventure, without an alchemist in the group.

Couldn't agree more. Taking the times back then into consideration, I can actually totally understand TRS's actions. Of course they should have handled it differently, but I imagine it must have been bloody scary when the Internet exploded and all your IP is just laying there - free for all...

The Fall of Plaguestone? Alchemist then.

I absolutely love the Ravnica book. The settings just oozes with hooks and atmosphere.

Well let’s see how the rules turn out. I hope they can make them stand out in another way. Pathfinder 2e did something similar and that seems to work even though calling something ancestry instead of race does seem a bit performative to me. But we also have to accept that race is such a loaded...

Totally agree. The space is ripe for something with deep pockets to come and do this "right". Seeing how DnD Beyond have grown, I think it's obvious they are going this route. Also this work they are doing in this arena, might make it obvious that the system could use some adjustment here and...

Well you could include the MAP in the numbers on the sheet, by having three lines for each weapon strike entry. I know the official sheet doesn't support that, but could be a good idea.

I am generally impressed by the PF2 art. Although I love much of the 5e art (Tyler Jacobson's covers are amazing), PF2 puts up a fight.

Well, I guess that depends on what you mean by "compete with 5E". I would say that PF2e being D&D-like but much crunciher, more tactical and with way more options is definitely competing with 5e. Further, if Paizo had made PF2e a total depature from their past, I'm sure they would have...

Yup. I listened to that as well. I also read the Sage Compendium, and you are correct that "you aren’t surprised if even one of your foes fails to catch you unawares". So it seems to support your case. He also does mention though, that stealth in general is in the DM's hands. I would have like...

I am currently DM'ing 5e ToD, but seeing how my group enjoys the tactical aspect of combat, I am considering PF2. I have bought the CB, the Plagustone book, and the first part of the AoA Adventure Path. Reading the stuff, I am impressed by it, and am looking forward to trying it with the group...
