Sure. But you replied in a thread specifically on "rate PF2E". Context is important. Totally agree on the on the 3 actions, but again, we have that from PF Unchained and I get all the value of that in my PF1E game with none of the issues of PF2E. And I find the "broad menu"to be completely...

Define "doing great". Seriously, I'm also someone who thinks well of Paizo from a fan perspective. But they very much have a stake in this and perception of current popularity has a real effect on future popularity. The real question remains: how is it doing compared to how PF1 was doing...

Please take this as a fun analysis. These two statements are fundamentally contradictory. Yes, both statements may be independently true. But the game happens amongst a group of people at a table. While each participant certainly has there own perception of the experience. But in each...

OK Seems to be nit picking quite a bit there. I don't think there is a standardized definition of "explosion" for this conversation. I'm going to stick with the "explosion" started in well less than a year, effectively right away, by my standards.

Understood and I'm happy to work with you there. But please understand, I know what I like. I've been gaming a long time. You said something about being 39. Let's just say I've got that beat. :) I don't see that as a contest of who has the most credit or an appeal to authority. I'm...

If you want to continue a dialog then you need to go back and read the questions I actually asked and try to answer them from an honest perspective. If you will not or are incapable, then there is no value in continuation. Because, so far, you keep moving the goal posts and reframing the...

You failed.

circles now. Thanks

Continuing to ignore the actual questions and move the goal posts. Is this a conversation? Please either address my actual concerns or understand that I'm just assuming there is nothing more to be gained here.

Setting aside that you are giving him a "3" strength to pad you numbers, you STILL avoided the question. What is the one most important thing to know? The answer remains "level". That is more important that anything else. Now you are burying your numbers by comparing the untrained to...

And, to be clear, every system has math. Some systems systems start with the math and then back into doing th best they can to fit the narrative. Some system have a loose math foundation and then look to the narrative to see how that math should emerge. Your example forced you to go all the...

I totally accept that it is ok for you. But do you recognize that you actually dodged my question?

Everything is relative. Compared to Chess, PF2E rocks on this front. Compared to a lot of other RPGs it falls terribly flat. Being able to describe differences on top of the same math is not at all the same as having math that looks at the narrative elements of the set pieces and uses a...

Yep. I know there are people who love this "math first" approach. More power to them

If you want to google around you can find many comments from me. Mostly in the playtest era on the Paizo boards. But that ship has sailed and there is no value in rehashing it here. Details aside the mechanics make themselves more important than the narrative elements in ways that are...

So I really liked the 3AE in PF2E a lot, so I did go back to Unleashed version and ended up incorporating some variation thereof into my 1E game. For us it has been really cool. Yes, there have been times when players choose to stay put due to AOOs. And. yes, there are more AOOs overall now...

It was huge right away Edit: I was not claiming one product (and to be picky I listed TWO), but was demonstrating the environment. companies have changed names and it gets hard to keep track. But Sword and Sorcery Studios, Green Ronin, Necromancer games, and others hit the ground running...

That part is not at all true. As has been noted, WotC didn't even get the first module out. And Scarred Lands beat the MM to print. Granted, that turned out to be a problem because they got a fair number of things wrong. But 3PPs jumped all over this new opportunity.

Thats the million $ question. Is PF2E lumped in with 3X/5E or with "any RPG"? We don't know yet.

I suspect that it gets a good bump as a "recreational" thing and a "toy" of sorts, thus it gets a bit of bias in the gift giving. And it may also be that a lot of people wanted it but got gift cards instead. Though that could be said for pretty much anything, but cultural shift or not, I bet...
