Sure. That's there. It really doesn't do much for me. Again, I'm thinking here primarily of what's available in terms of class options. I'll agree with respect to backgrounds there's a lot to work with there, but I'm just not fond of the implementation.

I disagree.

Having played the game bi-weekly for several years now, and having created dozens of characters, and having watched the other players in my game create dozens of characters, and having seen, repeatedly, the same three flavors of every class, with only the occasional exception, I stand by my...

And just for the record: I still disagree. The way that options are parsed in 5e feels paltry to me even when you take account of supplementary sources. Meanwhile, I think that Paizo's options are robust right out of the box, without me having to go out and invest in supplementary sources just...

I didn't ignore them for disagreeing with me. I ignored them for being a jerk about it.

Yep. That one goes right to the heart of my phobias. I remember one gaming session when the GM threw spiders at us, and I responded in-character-but-not-really-in-character, and the GM said, "that wasn't a character reaction, that was a Scott reaction1"

Xenonnonex, ignored. By all means, use the ignore function to avoid escalating tempers with other posters. HOWEVER, announcing you’re ignoring someone is a classic method of subverting the intent of the system. DON’T DO THIS.

Yeah, I don't use Xanathar's guide. Don't want to. Haven't read it. Don't want to. Furthermore, I was just pulling rogue out as an example. I could have picked any other class. It really doesn't matter, because it still stands that the PF core offers me a great deal more in terms of options and...

As to the question of market fragmentation. I don't think the issue is, "Is the market MORE fragmented than it was when 4e was introduced." I think the issue is "Is the market more fragmented than when 3.5 was prominent," and 5e notwithstanding, I think the answer is clearly yes, and there is a...

Wow. That sucks. I love HL as an app, but I've never been very impressed with Lone Wolf as a company. This only cements my opinion that they, to all external appearances, seem simultaneously both great game app developers and terrible business people.

I think the big difference is the 4e took a relatively unified market and fragmented it. PF2 is entering an already fragmented market, and hoping to revitalize its existing fan base. Folks who switched out from PF when 5e came out might come back. Folks who just aren't so fond of 5e might be...

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!

Now that you mention it, that does seem ominous. I'm trying to remember back to whether that was someone who as an official representative before. It's been a loooong time!

The blindfolded shower cleric was hilarious.

I'm here for all things Gamma World.

I was really excited for Kingmaker and loved the story (and I thought the videogame was an excellent implementation of the concept). But in all honesty I found the Kingdom management rules to be just too unwieldy and cumbersome, and my players didn't enjoy it, so we ended up putting a lot of...

When I first heard about PF2, I was feeling a bit grognardish and really didn't want to switch, but I've mostly drunk the Koolaid on it now and I'm ready to dive in. But my group has mostly abandoned Pathfinder at this point. We've got a 3.5 campaign going and a 5e campaign going. The other...

I'm sorry, but all the goblin love at Paizo is lost on me.

I like WotC's sense of humor: "Faithful to D&D Lore" -- Some of us still remember the Spellplague.

Well they are at 6x their funding goal already. I'm not thrilled with the Starfinder base setting, so I'm really looking forward to this!
