[QUOTE="Osgood, post: 9270010, member: 32792"] Years ago, I was in an online game that started off as 5E, until the DM decided he couldn't stand 5E, and that in fact he has not like any version of D&D since 1E and and wanted to play that instead. I'd only played 1E a few times back in high school, so I gave it a try... but it just wasn't for me. Someone died pretty much every session, any attempt to do anything outside the box result in death (and a reminder not to play like it was 5E). Eventually, I decided it wasn't worth spending 4 or 5 hours a week to not have fun, so I bowed out. Currently, I'm in a group where the DM was really keen on trying PF2. I was interested in seeing how it played, but after a few months, I have determined it's not for me.. and I'd guess the same is true for at least half the group. The rules aren't really clicking for anyone, and the adventure itself doesn't seem to be grabbing anyone's attention. I actually dread leveling, because I'm overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices--most of which seem to boil down to minor, situational bonuses that have little impact or don't apply to the campaign. I haven't talked with the others about it, but if they want to stick with PF2, I'll bail. As others have said, don't take it personally, some times players and DMs have different needs and wants. If you can compromise and come up with a system that can enjoy, then great. If you can't and have to part ways, that's fine too. [/QUOTE]
