[QUOTE="Philip Benz, post: 8392986, member: 6975782"] There are so many games out there, that anyone can find one that suits their own particular predilections. If some folks prefer DD5, more power to 'em! I understand there are also new modmods arriving on the scene that take DD5 to a new level. That's great! Some folks like the old DD3.5 vibe, or the spin that PF1 put onto it (sometimes refered to as DD3.75). That's great too! There is so much PF1 material out there that you can play PF1 for years and years without ever running out, not to mention homebrew games. Personally, I really prefer PF2. After years of playing DD3.5 and then PF1, PF2 comes along and solves many of the gripes I had with PF1. Sure, it's not perfect. Sure, there are problems with many of the published APs, which have pre-programmed challenges that are on the cutting edge of TPK territory. But a clever DM can adapt those edgy situation, or simply run homebrew campaigns like I do, and the game systems works really well, giving more power to martials and reining in the worst excesses of the power of PF1/DD3.5 spellcasters. You can say what you want about the way PF2 has taken a nerfbat to spellcasters of all stripes, but I see it as a much-needed and long-overdue solution to a known problem. I love our shared RPG hobby, and it pains me to see folks badmouthing any game, especially PF2, which is my current favorite, until something else new and shiny comes along. So play whatever game fills your RPG void, and let's talk constructively about the features of the game this forum is dedicated to, rather than focusing on the warts and blemishes that any game is likely to suffer from. FWIW, there's a whole lot of new and cool content coming out of Paizo these days. The big Mwangi book was awe-inspiring in depth, and the recently released Secrets of Magic book was simply brilliant. We're still waiting on Guns and Gears, the Grand Bazaar, and the big Absalom book (which appears to have been further delayed) so there is no shortage of new and intriguing material coming out.
