[QUOTE="Arilyn, post: 7634918, member: 6816042"] Dark old days of 3e seems a little extreme. Makes it sound like players were floundering around in the dark ages, until the glorious renaissance of 5e.:) 5e is fun and is way easier to GM. I appreciate that. On the other hand, it's a little to safe? Homogenous? Bland? Not sure. I miss things like mummy rot, and scary poison. Too many things were also sacrificed for simplicity. And way too many spells casters, and I really don't like wizards/sorcerers etc. running around blasting things as if they were armed with some kind of never ending blast rod. Some critics call 5e kindergarten D&D, and although, I don't agree entirely with this sentiment, PF2 could offer an alternative, even if wizards aren't perfectly balanced. What does LFQW stand for anyway? I'm concerned about character generation, since that's my favourite part of PF. I can see adopting the rules of play, which so far, I do like, but using the old character classes. Anyway, I agree, we'll have to just wait and see. And of course, there's 13th Age! [/QUOTE]
