Pathfinder 2E So... Anyone Thinking Of Running A PF2 Game?

Seems legit. I'm mainly just having trouble in finding the free time and energy to sit down and just power through the rules.

Most of the combat rules are similar to everything you have in PF1 and D&D. Cover, area of effect, etc. (Though cover is more fiddly with lesser -1, standard -2, and greater -4). The biggest difference is action economy. At least overall. Some classes like spellcasting is more fiddly.

I think I will go ahead and throw up Plaguestone to run. I've read the first two acts in the adventure and it seems pretty good, well-written and clear.

Adventures were always Paizo's strong suit, I believe. I can't say I have a lot of experience with them though. I never played PF1. I was not a big fan of 3.5. I mean, it had some really good bits, but encouraged too much rules lawyering and power gaming (for my taste and in my experience).

I have a feeling that ultimately PF2 will be too fussy for me, but I can't be sure without giving it a go. I like a lot of what they are trying to do.

Let's give it a shot, shall we?

Well, not to bang on my drum too much, but there are some new games starting right now that have new systems that aren't PF2... (Troika!)

I'm intrigued, and I'm assuming that you're looking for people so I'll go take a look!
