[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8498070, member: 6778210"] This is definitely a big part of it, I think. For the former, PF2 is just fairly straight-forwards in how things interact with each other, which is a feature or a bug depending on how you like to run a game. But it doesn't really require a whole bunch of in-depth discussion compared to certain questions in 5E. Similarly it's way easier to make interesting build choices because PF2 is built to support that stuff out of the box; you don't need to create a thread on how to build certain things or what classes to dip into to get a certain effect like you might in 5E. On the latter, it's part of why I don't post here as much: while I think there have been some really good discussions on rules and such here, it's just easier to get a bigger discussion out of the main forum because there are plenty of topics that are independent of system. When you talk about alignment, there's just no real reason not to put that in the 5E forum where most people will get to see it. If I'm being honest, I kind of wish all d20 stuff was in one forum, or all 5E stuff in one forum and the rest of d20-based systems in another. I think it's just easier to get better discussion when the board has broader scope so you can get casual people from other games coming in to comment. I mean, this can also be a [I]bad[/I] thing (Look at that recent Paizo news post that was largely about s**tposting rather than discussing the topic), but I'd rather take that risk than not. [/QUOTE]
