[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8394006, member: 70468"] I expect that once your wife establishes some baseline proficiency with carpentry, her skills will transfer over to new projects. The same is true of RPGs. You’ve run D&D and similar games before. Pathfinder 2e is just another D&D game. Your skills should transfer over. It’s not like it’s a PbtA or FitD game where those skills could get in your way of running the game properly. Sure, there are things that are different. The guidelines for building encounters actually work. If you assume they don’t, then you’ll find out very quickly the hard way that your assumption was bad. That’s fine. Failure is how we learn what things don’t work. Take that into account going forward, and if it really screwed things up, retcon the encounter. This is true. There was nothing like [I]Lost Mines of Phandelver[/I] until the Beginner Box was released. I’ve said it before, but I’ll reiterate it again: Paizo should have lead with the Beginner Box and written PF2 in that style. It may not be great, but it’s more clear than the CRB. [/QUOTE]
