[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8702031, member: 42040"] Wow. I'm just realizing how many times my opinion of Pathfinder 2e has changed since my first play. [LIST=1] [*]First Playtest Demo at a Convention (GenCon?): Didn't care for it - thought it was too limiting [*]At-Home Playtest Demo (Doomsday Dawn): Had an overall bad experience. The adventure wasn't fun and was designed basically to try to TPK the party. [*]Second Playtest Demo at a Convention (Origins): Had a slightly better time. Maybe it was the GM, the group? [*]At-Home Adventure Path (Age of Ashes): Started out okay, but quickly showed it was too deadly for our group. Going into COVID lockdown, I had to convert the AP to Roll20 with a lot of work. Eventually the group rage quit and haven't played together since. [*]Online PFS Organized Play (TotalCon): Played 4 or so online Society games. Had a pretty good time. Decided to try the game again. [*]Online Adventure Path (Abomination Vaults): Met some new gamers online and started loading Abomination Vaults into Roll20. The group tired of the dungeon format, the "close-call" combats - stopped before reaching the end of book 1. [*]Online Beginner Box Game: Ran for my friends, and they liked it well enough to try an Adventure Path. [*]Online Adventure Path (Extinction Curse): My friends went for an Adventure Path. In less than 1.5 sessions, there was a TPK and they rage quit. [*]In-Store Organized Play: Tried to start a PFS group offering weekly games for a month. Altogether, my wife showed up for two games, two other guys showed up for the first game. Otherwise, it was DOA. (I noticed the store still had the Core Rulebook on the shelf price stamped 12/2019 - they're not moving PF2 product at all - and my PFS couldn't generate any interest.) [/LIST] So I guess that means that I'm done with Pathfinder 2e? I do know I've given it more chances than I've given any other system in my 30+ years of gaming without having a "big win" (a successful campaign). I don't have to sell D&D 5e and beg people to play it, so I guess that's the forever game system now. [/QUOTE]
