[QUOTE="Acolyte of Zothique, post: 7808968, member: 6852701"] O.K., question answered. The reason why I've never seen anyone use the SRD is because, in my neck of the woods (London, UK), Pathfinder has been wiped out of existence by 5e and every 5e player I've seen has a copy of the PHB. New players have their own copies of the PHB. Everyone wants to play 5e. I'm sure Pathfinder is still being played but not in any of the major meetups I'm aware of. Does PF2E have a new version of the SRD and, more importantly, is it easy to find and widely advertised? Would a new potential player of PF2E know they could use an SRD when faced with a wall of books? How would they know about an SRD if they are not forum readers like us? Probably the majority of potential new players would not be reading online forums. The SRD doesn't seem to me to be the answer to recruiting [I]new [/I]players when faced with the wall of books. I'm sure most Pathfinder players on this forum do use the SRD but this isn't about you - for PF2E to thrive Paizo needs to attract new blood; most of them aren't going to be thinking about an SRD when choosing a game. They will be thinking 'there's D&D which everyone plays and is being streamed all over the internet and I only need the PHB or this Essentials Starter kit Or there's this other game with the massive rulebook that looks just like some other older rulebooks but I also need this and that other book as well?'
