[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8434943, member: 42040"] Here's my experience with PF2 on Roll20. I was running Age of Ashes in person before the pandemic, when we decided to go to Roll20. It was a free option because no one wanted to pay to play online for an event that we thought would last for a few weeks or a month. (Hahaha.) Also, I didn't have a computer that could handle any of the other options so we had to have a browser-based VTT. I would describe the experience of putting Age of Ashes on Roll20 as pretty time-consuming and sometimes inaccurate regardless of the care I put into it. After that game fell apart for reasons involving the group's dislike of the system (and not really gelling together personality-wise), I decided to play around with the system some more. I started loading up Abomination Vaults into Roll20, more as a challenge to myself. It had good reviews, and I thought it was time to give PF2 another chance. Found a few players here on ENWorld and folks they knew and my wife wanted to play, and we had a group to try it. I did play around with Foundry, and if we decided to stick with PF2 maybe we would've transitioned to that VTT, but we didn't complete the first book of Abomination Vaults. The AP didn't work for us. Whether it was the problem of my GMing style, the system itself, or the theme of the AP, it just didn't work. Anyways, long story even longer, I was considering if we were going to quit Abomination Vaults but wanted to keep exploring PF2 in a new adventure (and limited to Roll20 content), what could I present to the group that was already on Roll20. Like you, I didn't like the themes of any of the APs available on Roll20. Even the ones not on Roll20 (which were the ones that I've partially run), were not really my speed. So my advice to you, as one Roll20 PF GM to another, is to make your own game. Don't use the APs if they don't appeal to you. It's a big commitment, and if you don't like the theme, don't run it. From what I've gathered, none of them are excellent anyway. If you need help crafting a plot, designing encounters, putting stuff into Roll20, etc., there are people on these boards (myself included) who will be happy to help. [/QUOTE]
