[QUOTE="noodohs, post: 8460896, member: 7033037"] What I am most excited about with LU is that I might actually be able to get people to play it. I've gotten kinda bored with O5e and the limitations it has in terms of what you can do with any given character and I would love to convert over to PF2e, but there are only a few of my friends that are likely to come along. And I don't totally blame them; while I do love how much you can customize characters in PF2e, there are a daunting (and frankly unnecessary, IMO) number of rules and nitpicking and such. I can get over that because once you get going you'll figure it out and there are certainly advantages to that level of specificity, but it really turns off people who have only played O5e. Others of my friends have bad experiences with past Pathfinder power gamers who have, unfortunately, tainted their opinion of the game as a whole. So I see LU as a nice middleground between the two where you get a lot of that customization from PF2e but the relative simplicity of rules from 5e. And all I had to do was show my friends the PDF and they are already on board. Aside from that, if we just ignore O5e and just talk about LU and PF2e, I definitely think the strengths of LU are that it's easier to learn and run. PF2e has more crunch if you want that and I think generally is better at being scary for players, which I know both of my DMs appreciate. LU does a better job of that than O5e, but PF2e is still the better game for really being dangerous, IMO. [/QUOTE]
