[QUOTE="darjr, post: 7631223, member: 52905"] I do notice a marked difference during the "playtest" period of pf2 vs Next. At least anecdotally and from what I can see from others. I for one was excited for the next playtest and anticipated every drop. There was a TON more traffic, mostly positive or hopeful or constructive in it's criticism. Sure there were a lot of things I didn't like and things I loved that were nixed or modified to far for my taste. I even stopped for a short while, but I downloaded and devoured every update and playtest and by the end of it was very exited along with, what seemed to me, most people I talked to. Things don't seem quite the same with PF2. Actually quite the opposite. Many of the folks that are looking forward to it seem to be holding their breath and are even a bit wary. I know, that's just me and the folks I talk to. But I was VERY enthusiastic about pathfinder at the time of the Next playtest. And the Next playtest, THE PLAYTEST, won me over. How WotC handled it won me over. Not ot mention I had a LOT of folks asking if i was going to run it, when I was going to start, and when they could get in on one of my tables. This time I'm enthusiastic about 5e, VERY much so. I HOPE Paizo hits it out of the park with 2e but I don't intend to look at it or buy the PDF unless I have a bunch of folks clamoring for me to run it. And as of now not a single person has asked if I'd even consider doing so. For whatever it's worth. I know things might be very different for others. [/QUOTE]
