      Yeah but...technically that's the same slogan wotc is using for their compulsory party where everyone's invited and must shower the host in money or get lost. The "don't split" wording for an action to rally behind is counter intuitive when there's a lot of people who should be encouraged to split away from wotc.

      I started playing it last week. Its actually very similar to dnd 5e, Same Stats etc. Only difference is:
      Characters have more feats.
      Proficency is different for each class (fighter have Weapon "Expertise" from level 1)
      No - Movement/ Bonus/ Normal action, instead everybody has 3 Actions that you can use for what ever you want.
      While it takes a bit more in creating a character, the gameplay is the same. So all you need is a DM that can recommend you choices to build your character, but then you can play.

    I suppose this means the first shots have been fired, metaphorically speaking. It's been a long time coming, and it looks like it took Hasbro's failure to recognize their second chance after DnD 4e for what it was, to tip the scales and provoke the gaming community as a whole to unite in this. TTRPG is one of the last major corporate frontiers, and the community aims to keep it this way. We LIKE when a small group fails to maintain control over content, and all minds are allowed to contribute, and it looks like our community as a whole is ready and willing to fight.

    Wizards is the big dog that thinks he scares everyone with its vicious growls and its scary barking and chase efforts. Paizo just proved itself to be the cat who quickly slaps the dog back into reality when he gets too near to her, even going so far as to defend the kittens when they aren't even hers by giving that Wizards dog a good scratch or two. Wizards, remember, Paizo does have claws . . .

      Pathfinder: Kingmaker is pretty much the quintessential pathfinder video game. You'll learn a lot about Pathfinder's rules through the video game before ever touching the TTRPG.
      Be warned that Pathfinder 2 is a much more mechanically deep game than 5e, and it's not recommended as a starting point for someone who's never done a game that relies upon keywording. That complexity and Critical Role are the two reasons why 5e has (up until now) been so much more successful than Pathfinder 2.

      @@alexjgilpin 2e isn't a complex system when compared to all the systems out there, it's actually a fairly streamlined system. It's just a touch more rules than 5e, which itself is a touch more rules than a rules-lite narrative game.
      On the flip side, something comes up, and instead of GM having to wing it, there are actually rules for things. Game balance is considerably easier. Ie, it's easier to GM, especially because the adventure paths are high quality.
