[QUOTE="zztong, post: 7798130, member: 6943414"] I don't hate Paizo. I don't care for 2e. Normally, I just ignore games I don't like. However, a friend of mine likes 2e enough to want to run it. He has limited time to prepare (busy life) and I end up having to assist by looking up rules, etc. In order to be a good friend I'm forced to keep my nose in 2e. The last time this happened was with D&D 4e. It turned out few people at the table liked the 4e rules and most were just quietly miserable for a year. The folks at the table seem equally restless about 2e, though a bit more vocal this time. Some want to shift to D&D 5e. (We had been playing PF1 before the PF2 playtest.) There will come a time when my friend needs a break from running and it will be my turn to run. I know he would prefer every DM run the same game because it can be easier on our casual players not to change systems. I'll want to run some other system. So, again, I don't hate Paizo. What they're doing makes sense. Yet, it has created stress at the game table between friends. The group is unlikely to break up, but there's bound to be a lot of hand-wringing over the next year. I suspect it will ultimately be the end of the notion that all DMs run the same game and contribute to the same timeline/story. [/QUOTE]
