[QUOTE="Velderan, post: 8927843, member: 7038056"] I'll start with a disclaimer: I have not yet played a single session of PF2e. My group is winding down a 5e campaign and should be starting on Menace under Otari in a week or 2 so I'm still in the prep phase of running PF2e. I've also never played PF1e so I'm new in general to Paizo. That having been said.. [LIST] [*]The Beginner Box adventure does a lot to actually teach a GM new to the system how to run it. The encounters are designed to show a range of encounter types so by the time you're done, you'll have seen enough types of gameplay to get an idea of what the game is. [*]I love the 3 action economy. It gives a lot of flexibility to what characters can do and at the same time in some cases cuts down on material.
