I liked how the question "how many characters have you created" topped out at 10+. Dude, I started in 1982. In 1e and 2e we went through characters like confetti.

And dramatic. I like the fact when someone goes down that you have to respond and change plans. Some of the best fights I have had in D&D is when a really cool plan is derailed by a PC going down early. So I think death saves are the best way to go.

You mention in your long review some options with regards Touch AC - for me the issue is more of the thinking behind design choices like this - I just see TAC as being old fashioned complexity which should be avoided. (and 4E solved this whole issue by making everything static defenses where the...

I found this review very useful. I am coming at PF2 from the perspective of liking 4e and being interested in a well developed alternative to 5e. I would like to see a game that has more space for PC customization (especially for martial PCs), more dynamic monsters and a wider range of tactical...

Fair point. Yes some of these passive bonuses are significant. I was thinking about decisions and choices in combat. I just mean that in combat I make two decisions - rage or not rage and reckless attack or not. A few more choices and depth in building archetypes would be nice IMO.

Agree. I play a barbarian in 5e and while it is fun, I do have problems with the lack of progression choices for martial types. The only thing that has significantly changed in the 7 levels I have been playing is hp. While I liked 4e I dont think we that many choices! But yes I would like to...

I voted "Game Over, Man" but wanted to vote "Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

I would like to see Greyhawk.I think it would be an interesting old school contrast with Eberron. I like also to see some rule support/options for tactical gaming in 5e. I am not sure whether there is a market for modularity (I remember than word being used early on :)) of game styles rather...

As long as it is not the My Little Pony setting. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Agree. I like what I see but there just seems to be a unnecessary layer of mechanics like dents, spell points, touch AC which look like they would overly complicate things.

I have always liked to think that Beholders like to hum the sinister opening riff from Metallica's "Eye of the beholder" as they engage adventurers.

No way. I am not the biggest fan of 5e (I am a weirdo who liked 4e;)) but the game works well at my table and and has been so successful. I like to see some more "modularity" to create optional rules to push the game in different directions - but this doesnt to require a new edition.

I also like 4e but I think the related but bigger issue is engaging with community more. I personally liked the way that 4e took on longstanding concepts and sacred cows - I think it needed to be done. For eg, I think things like the mechanic of rolling against static defenses is simply way...

Yep. Because of bounded accuracy they decreased the 7 year itch into the 7 day itch.

The other thing that struck me about early 4e was how poor some of the early adventures were. It just seemed that even the designers didnt seem to know how the game was meant to work. But I really appreciate 4e as a game. We played as a proper roleplaying game and it worked as well as previous...

How do feats and MC make that much of a difference? I play a RAW campaign playing a published adventure and I see some of the "problems" noted in OP, but I have never played without feats or with MC, so I have no reference point. Feats dont seem to a high impact on our game.

I remember that. Which magazine number was that? I think the the Computer Game Witcher 3 had a great idea around the Wild Hunt which captures the theme of an impending but mysterious incursion of (the Eastern European take on) elves, which seemed very much like Gith to me.

Yep. I am waiting for someone young to post a 4e or 5e PC Sheet!
