Just the spell durations of buffs is enough to make PF2 less complicated: you're not planning an hour before major fights to set up buff spells. We had sessions in PF1 that were just prepping for the next fight. I haven't seen anything on that level in PF2.

I answered "5" - but that's not completely true. It depends on the quality of the writing, the explanations, the organization, and what the system deems as important. The OP suggests that 5e is a 6 on the scale. A few modifications and cutting fiddly bits from the game could make it a 4 (and...

Unfortunately I won't be able to watch live - or I'd SuperChat the question right at him.

I mean, that's what the designers of 5E said "on the record." And that they gave away their battlemaps and miniatures used for their office game. Then you can see how their Campaign and Creature cases products (maps and tokens) were dropped into Ollies for pennies on the dollar when those...

I think that we can look at 4E as being an example of a change too far - at least for many fans. But let's consider a few points: 1) 4E came out in 2008. And while I don't have the numbers, I'd suggest that it was trying to cater to an audience that hadn't grown in decades. Today's 2024 5E...

Yeah. I think something akin to Daggerheart with the D&D brand attached would be closer to what people actually want from D&D, not tracking arrows, counting squares, trudging through low levels fighting rats, meaningless character death, etc. I think if many people knew there were other games...

Well, I'm not a talented designer and I'm probably too steeped in the traditions to be creative in that way. But I'd steer away from slow, tactical, crunch and go with fast, narrative, and cinematic game play. It seems pretty clear that no new players care about tracking arrows and mundane stuff...

What I want is a bold, new direction that is likely impossible under the corporate structure of Hasbro. Let these new designers make their game. We've had the D&D of Mike Mearls for 12 years. We've had Jonathan Tweet's for 26 years. We've had Gygax and Arneson's for 50+ years. And we'll still...

Apparently Goodman wants that racist money real bad. Let's see. CSIO funded at $600,000. Caverns of Thracia (also JG) reached $655,000. Dark Tower (also JG) was $450K. Most of their other BackerKits are in the $200K - $300K range, with their current at $160K. So it does look like JG products...

Free League, with a modified Year Zero Engine.

Not to try to answer for @Artamo, but my reading of the post was that Gal is being put in the "good" category with Kelsey Dionne. Unless I just really misunderstood it.

My own friends who are OSR players over a certain generation have been leaning towards that point of view over the years. It's sad to see, but nearly every one of them thought I was making too big of a deal about Bledsoe. They're very much "anti cancel culture." Their games have a feel of...

I don't think Clark Peterson has been involved with Necromancer Games for actual decades at this point. I think he left around the time 3.5 ended, sold his stakes, and got out of the industry. I could be wrong though.

I thought he had stopped producing content, but amazingly there is new stuff from a month ago. I guess I just stopped caring to watch them.

https://youtube.com/@nonat1s?si=-urhU0rAPC8sZhnI NoNat1s. For a while he was considered the biggest PF2 guy on YouTube. He still may be.

I already own a few DCC funnels in PDF from past bundles, so it's not really a question of me supporting Goodman by buying new product. It's more the issue, do I mention the controversy in the podcast? If I ignore it, does that conflict with my ethics?

I'd need to find something random and gonzo...

Yeah. My friends were asking if I would run a Funnel on their gaming podcast. I was considering it, but it would feel wrong to support Goodman at this point.

Looks like you made the better decision. :) Still don't know if I "needed" 13A 2e either. Probably should've skipped many of my Kickstarters. These days, I'm avoiding most crowdfunding products.
