If you come to me saying, "Hey, you
0:01
should try PF2," you are preaching to
0:03
the converted, my friend. I never get
0:05
mad when people suggest Pathfinder as an
0:07
alternative to Dn D. When I'm talking
0:09
about issues in Dn D, fifth edition
0:12
rules certainly have some issues. No
0:14
game is perfect, and Pathfinder second
0:16
edition really does improve on a lot of
0:19
the issues that I have with fifth
0:21
edition. I play Pathfinder very
0:24
actively. Like, I'm in an ongoing
0:26
Kingmaker campaign right now. We play
0:28
weekly. So, yes, I'm with you.
0:30
Pathfinder second edition is fantastic,
0:33
but changing rule sets isn't always an
0:35
option for everyone. Sometimes 5e is
0:37
just what you can convince your players
0:38
to play, and I do really enjoy fifth
0:41
edition D and D. There's a lot to love
0:43
about the system. Sure, individual
0:45
mechanics have a lot of problems. That's
0:47
fine. Uh, but the game is still fun to
0:49
play and for groups that really don't
0:52
want that level of crunch from
0:54
Pathfinder second edition, 5e is often a
0:56
much better fit, even with the issues
0:58
that it does have. If you follow the
1:00
rpgbotpodcast, we talk about the
1:02
differences between 5e and PF2 quite a
1:04
bit. When we look at individual
1:06
mechanics, we'll frequently compare and
1:08
contrast the two to see like the
1:09
differences in the systems, what we can
1:11
do to improve any given mechanic. And
1:13
that's been the basis of a lot of the
1:16
discussion on our podcast is comparing
1:18
and contrasting different systems and
1:20
how they approach specific bits of those
1:23
systems like flight or disarming a
1:25
creature or something like that. Uh, so
1:28
I'm I'm very aware of the mechanical
1:31
differences between 5e and PF2.
