We are going to start dipping our toes into Pathfinder this next year. Thank you for a great introduction video about it, seriously can’t wait to try it out!
Two of my favorite TTRPG channels interacting?? What luck! Looking forward to Pathfinder related content on OSQ, as a Pathfinder player I have been watching all your DnD content starving for some Pathfinder skits.
No quips, no puns, no notes. That was a very sweet video. We're glad to be a part of the community with you. Wishing health and happiness to you and all your loved ones.
You're dazzled and deafened and dying alright -- I hope you're satisfied. But if you ain't... don't blame me! We don't blame our friends we just blaame theeeeee DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!
Lowkey love Final Sacrifice. I ran a paraplegic witch that used an Unseen Servant to push her wheelchair around, but would also send it in to places to just fucking explode.
What an opportune time for this to release. My brother is finally going to try 2E and he's a little nervous about how complex it seems to him. Thanks for being the start of both of our Pathfinder journeys, NoNat!
I was a hard critic about Pathfinder 2E. I told myself I'd probably stick to Pathfinder 1E, for years to come. I was still curious, and gave Pathfinder 2E a try for my players. I started reading it just this October. Already approaching January, I am revving up to run the beginner box for my players. But even I got lost in books, I have already read all of the core rulebooks, except for Dark Archive which I am half-way through and will likely finish by the end of the week, and within the first week fell in love with the system. I am looking forward to running Kingmaker for my players in the near months.
Yeah, I used to play Pathfinder 1E and I was ready to say "That's it, this is the perfect edition. I'll never need another system." But now I'm really interested in seeing what 2E has.
yeah 2e is actually sorta ahead of its time. I didn't want to leave 1e behind, and I never have to, but it's improving upon perfection. How do you do that? Well, you just make a game that helps tell a story in an approachable, fun, gameable way. It's not totally streamlining or simplifying, but bringing things forward in a fun way .
My DM Switched to Pathfinder a while ago because they were getting bored of running DND 5e and wanted to switch it up for a new campaign within the same setting. Now all the players as well as the DM are enjoying it a lot, the fights are more dynamic and fun and player characters are more personal. Which led to my favourite character i have ever made. Changing systems can be intimidating, especially one as dense as pathfinder 2e but it can be fun as well, i hope more people can learn to enjoy such a fun system
10:23 this is (so far) the best thing for me regarding Pathfinder 2E compared to D&D 5E. Coming from 5E into pathfinder i am staggered by the amount of options you get. In D&D i have always been frustrated by the lack of options many classes have unless you are specifically a spell-caster, which led to every character I would ever make being a multi-class, because I love having options. Just looking at the list of feats, ancestry's, Races, Weapons, so many ideas come to mind for...everything. *Seriously, so, so many options. How are there so many races, so many WEAPONS.*
There are a lot of things I like about P2E. Traits are one of those. Traits help clear up misunderstandings of rules on abilities and spells, and how they interact with everything. The free archetype alternative rule is my favourite. I let players train with masters to gain archetype feats on their free time. Brings lore and relationships to my players, and a want to do things beyond the main goal.
Traits cleaning was such a big oof moment for me when i first saw/read it. Like "Wow, where have they been all this time?" For me "Free Archetype" Variant Rule is a must. For getting a free feat through training though is a bit much. I give them "Ancestry Paragon" free variant rule and im actually thinking of allowing in new character sheets to use "Dual Class". P.S. I also want to try a new homebrew survival Hard_Magic/Low_Fantasy free roam game with starting 0 lvl PCs, and above normal encounter only rewards XP (probably the highest)
I watched a livestream yesterday where people were explaining to d&d players what Pathfinder is, In a really basic and simplified way. Every time they answered a question 3 people would put in a new idea they were considering And every time they explained how something worked mechanically there were at least 5 people saying something along the lines of "How aren't more people talking about this?" And I agree, I knew I'd like Pathfinder, But I didn't know it'd be more exciting than 5e ever was to me.
I’m a new GM and my players and I had tried D&D 5e over the past couple years and with all the crap going on in that realm at the moment, aside from the fact I kept getting let down by their encounter building system, we decided to jump ship and are thinking about trying Pathfinder 2e. I will admit, I was a little nervous about how much more it seems to have than 5e, in terms of my players being overwhelmed and me having to learn so much, haha, but with every new thing I read, I’m like this all sounds great! Watching this has made me feel comfortable with embarking on this new journey, so thank you! :)
Thank you for the summary. I am a 1 year + Forever DM, intending to move into Pathfinder 2E from 5e. The summary, helps me think of ways to try plan my maps and a new campaign into 2E. Subscribed and looking forward to future content.
I just wanna touch on the proficiency topic a bit. While it is true that choosing to diversify your skillset could be the way you wanna go, it should be noted that some of the skill feats are locked until you obtain Expert, Master, and Legendary proficiency in those skills. So you are essentially trading off diversification for specialization. There are pros and cons to both options. This is a bit more complex, which is why I assume he didn't get into it too much, but it should be worth noting.
Your enthusiasm for this game is infectious! I actually bought Pf2e back when it first came out (heck, I bought the Playtest) but never managed to find a group interested in playing it. All of a sudden, for SOME REASON, there is massive interest in this game, and I am looking forward to finally getting a chance to run this game. =)
Been playing Pathfinder for over 8 years. Love all the campaigns I've done with my friends with all the amazing characters we've made. Playing 5e as well but pathfinder feels better in every way.
wiggle is a mood. I'm looking into pathfinder for uh. Obvious reasons in January 2023? Glad I finally found someone doing good beginner guides for PF2E
I've never played Pathfinder but I've heard about it. I'm just now starting to watch videos about this game, and I gotta say, folks know how to convince someone like ME to play it. So many ways to create a martial class right from level ONE? As a main Fighter, I MUST play this game!
Saying Pathfinder has too much math demonstrates the speaker never had to figure out the area-of-effect of an AD&D Fireball in a narrow corridor. Spherical trigonometry, anyone?
I just found your channel while waffling about jumping into 2e. Watching you helped me make my decision to order the books and I couldn’t be more excited to jump in!!
This is coming out a really good time, with the OGL for DnD 5E taking a 180° turn. Every discord i'm on is discussing moving to another system. This is literally the first information I've ever heard about Pathfinder and 8 minutes in it sounds like the same system as 5E, but some options and details added to everything. Also love the music.
In theory I'll be running my first PF2E game in 2023 (once we complete Abomination Vaults), always handy to go over the basics. As for swaying, maybe try a reasonably tall stool? In theory it'd let you still pretty much stand and move naturally while giving you a stable center.
My buddy Ray has been trying to turn us all onto Pathfinder for the longest time, and I just so happened to land on this channel while researching the system. Pathfinder seems really cool, and I’ve heard you’re a great guy. Thanks for the work you put in and having such a rich library of content for someone like me to learn a lot from.
Okay, I started Pathfinder 2E for just a bit, went D&D 5E (as that's what friends were using), now due to OGL etc. and ORC, I'm going back and am daunted by the amount of everything. I found your videos and am binge-watching due to the quality of content, the info breakdowns but also your enthusiasm, liked and subbed!
I had some difficulties getting into PF2 but it's been 60ish sessions and a year+ of a game...and I have been here since I saw your Oracle vid and went "yeah, I want my first character to be hard af". I've played in a good amount of one-shots, made hundreds of characters (ty Wanderer's Guide). Here's to next year and all the damn Nat1s i keep rolling during crucial moments! 🎊
I am so happy I found your channel. Very informative and entertaining. I just finished creating my first character. A Toxicologist Alchemist with questionable morals whose background is cook, so my food is always delicious and possibly deadly.
Switching from 5e to Pathfinder 2e. Your videos will be very helpful from what I've seen thus far. Your channel is my first Pathfinder sub. I look forward to watching your previous and future content...
My first TTRPG campaign was in Pathfinder 1e which I didn't at the time know was different than DnD. I didn't really understand what was going on very much, but I loved my character concept soo much. I played a halfling (I think) druid who had a giant constricter snake animal companion and would wild shape into a small viper. I think I might have put more effort into my constrictors character sheet then I did my own. I loved them with all my heart, but unfortunately for various reasons the table fell apart before they were ever introduced. When I moved to 5e I was really disappointed that I wouldn't be able to recreate that build and get my snake companion (The animal companion options in 5e being a lot less customizable.) Maybe I'll buy a 2e book and see if getting the fictional snake of my dream is possible in this system.
Awesome intro, great message about Pathfinder2 and you pack a tremendous amount of useful information into this video. thanks for introducing so many interesting GMs and content creators!
I love how informative this video is. Thanks to that I'm definitely not going to be playing pathfinder anytime soon. Not because it's not my coup of tea but I'm older now and my group doesn't have the Patience to learn such an indepthed system.
So I started a ttrpg group and started playing in pathfinder. One of my preferred systems as it gives players and GMs so many options to be themselves. Switched to dnd 5e for the dnd beyond app during lockdown as the app showed rolls, allowed me as GM to interact with their character, etc. We are now looking to switch back, and personally... I can't wait. Your vids are amazing and great content. Don't stop man, your doing an awesome job.
Thank you for all the videos you put out, but especially the ones you have put out lately. You've been on a tear lately and I've really been enjoying your content!
I mostly appreciate that it is a net improvement over PF1 in my opinion (better game balance, better clarification, 3 actions per turn). I hope a video game RPG uses PF2 soon-ish. nb: In practice, I play D&D 5e as it's the system my friends got use to (which I do like though, but if I created a gaming system, it would be closer to PF2).
0:01 Yo I get you on the swaying standing thing. Once I noticed I did that in a video of me I got like super cognizant about like "oh no am I nervous swaying oh no D,x" But like yeah don't worry about it that's just a, like, thing people do I realized xD
Don't worry NoNat, we won't hold it against you if you want to switch to a Monopoly-only channel! We watch for your analysis and charming personality, regardless of system! 💙
It brings a smile to me when ever I see a youtuber like your self just enjoy what you do so much. And, Thank you. Your videos have helped me through out your videos to create my very character for a soon to be King maker campaign, where I will be playing a Majin (yes, homebrewed majin from Dragon Ball, helping my GM who made it) Gunslinger. Currently still waiting for a session 0 to iron a few things out, but I have already three version of him to go off of depending on the roles the other players want to take in the kingdom before me. A pistelero/Marshall if I become the General, A way of the sniper if I become the Treasurer, Or Vanguard if I become Viceroy.
Thank you for the video! It's sweet, informative, and to-the-point. I think I'm ready to pick up the rulebook now. I certainly want to diversify my knowledge of TTRPG systems away from D&D with how horrible WotC have been with the new OGL, and Paizo's Pathfinder seems like a logical first step, considering the similarities and their plan for the new ORC license
Just want to say awesome video, found your channel as my D&D group is finishing up 2 long-running campaigns and looking at the next for those groups (both dms and me overlap between the groups) and thinking of trying at least one of them as PF2E with some short adventures and one-shots to try it out first. Videos like this have me really excited to try it as personally I am looking for something a bit less restrictive than 5E character concept wise and from reading PF2E rules and the classes/ancestries/etc it seems to be much easier to take a concept in your head and make a workable character here than in 5E where doing so leads to some really janky 3-4 class multiclass characters that require DM buy-in to make work, hopefully it works out the way the reading makes it seem and looking forward to watching more of your videos, highly entertaining and making learning PF2E more fun than it was for me already.
You uploaded this video at the perfect time for me as I, a week ago as of writing this, just got into Pathfinder 2e. And I searched for TH-camrs that covered Pathfinder and I found this video and it was really helpful to me and so I subscribed. Thank you
I have been playing and Dming D&D 5e for around 4 years. With the recent OGL controversy, my friends and I are looking for an alternative and I hope this system will be it.
I'm a little late to the party, as some life things happened that took me away from TTRPG's for a few years. When I got back, I was honestly not really interested in the system I played those years ago and wanted to try something new. It happened to coincide with that system having some crazy drama come up around it, and I figured I'd re-look at Pathfinder. I have never been more happy that I did. This is the game I wanted. The ease of creating encounters that were interesting, magic item rules (and prices.. oh my GOD how I've missed simple prices on them), the vast array of choices and 'boss' enemies that felt like tense, dramatic encounters sold me. I think I've found my TTRPG home again.
Great guide, thanks, Nonat. I don't think the line at @13:50 was elitist. I like both Monopoly and Settlers of Catan for different reasons. I think it was a good way to distinguish between various RPG systems. Sometimes you want simple & fast gameplay, and other times you want to sit down and have a longer session where the pace might be a bit slower or might be a bit daunting for new players.
I think I agree with two yeard ago Nonat. Knowing this review came from someone who also thinks of Catan as Monopoly but worthwhile really helps me know I might like the same things about Pathfinder as well.
SO, few things. 1. Great video! your videos on PF2e has made me excited to actually play it. 2. I am going to be one of the ones who drop D&D for at least now. I'm just to mad at them right now to even wanna play their system. My biggest issue is my group have a hard time wanting to learn new systems. I am going to be pushing PF2e on them to hopefully get them to change over at least for a while. I love everything I've heard about it so far. It sounds so much more fun than D&D. I just hope I can get my group interested. Thanks for the videos.
This video came at the right time! The group I GM for and me are trying pathfinder 2e for the first time soon. They already love the character options and I am excited to see what they come up with.
I discover your videos two months ago, and it's very inspiring me for what I want for my players. Thank you for that and merry christmas / happy new year :)
I started truly looking into PF2e a couple of weeks ago when a friend of mine offered to run some games for a few of us when we are done with raiding in FFXIV (none of us have a free day in the week aside from that lol), since he was getting frustrated with DnD 5e as a GM and a lot of us were similarly a bit frustrated and/or bored with 5e too. I had looked into PF2e but legitimately was like "the hell is all of this... nevermind this" when I looked at it for the first time. When I sat down and properly looked into it again, I had turned on one of your videos Nonat as to how to fill in your character sheet and *everything* clicked. I was instantly excited to make a character. While I have made some basic characters to learn how to use the sheet, I am still trying to settle on what that character for the few games will be. Ancestry, class, etc. are still entirely up in the air, though I did already get some good advice on the subreddit. I have even ordered the pocket edition of the Core Rulebook now. Anyway, I am going back into my cave trying to brainstorm that character lmao
This option paralysis is a weird idea to me. You play fighter and you attack plus kill enemies while protecting the milk drinker caster types. FIGHTERS RULE!!!
We are going to start dipping our toes into Pathfinder this next year. Thank you for a great introduction video about it, seriously can’t wait to try it out!
Heck yeah! Feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions! Hope yall enjoy it!
Two of my favorite TTRPG channels interacting?? What luck! Looking forward to Pathfinder related content on OSQ, as a Pathfinder player I have been watching all your DnD content starving for some Pathfinder skits.
Omg omg omg, it happening!
May I ask, PF 1e or 2e?
But is there a throw it back-ground for the champion / paladin? The world needs to know!!!
No quips, no puns, no notes. That was a very sweet video. We're glad to be a part of the community with you. Wishing health and happiness to you and all your loved ones.
Thumbnail made me think
NoNat: "C'mon boy. Shake my hand. Won't you shake, a poor sinners hand?"
**buys PF2E**
NoNat: "Yessssss! ARE YOU REAAADY!?"
FIGHTER OPTIMIZATION CENTRAL! CAN YOU FEEEEEEEEEL IT?
OPTIMIZATION CENTRAL! 🙌
You're dazzled and deafened and dying alright -- I hope you're satisfied. But if you ain't... don't blame me! We don't blame our friends we just blaame theeeeee DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!
Lowkey love Final Sacrifice. I ran a paraplegic witch that used an Unseen Servant to push her wheelchair around, but would also send it in to places to just fucking explode.
This video couldn't have come out at a better time with WotC shitting the bed as hard as they are right now.
What an opportune time for this to release. My brother is finally going to try 2E and he's a little nervous about how complex it seems to him. Thanks for being the start of both of our Pathfinder journeys, NoNat!

Happy holidays, buddy!
We finished out 5e game just before Christmas and will be starting our PF2 campaign in the new year, and I am so hyped!
Same to you, boss!! We definitely gotta hang at some point!!
Great timing with the OGL D&D controversy! I’m sure your videos will help even more D&D players like me learn to love this system.
The timing one your releasing this video is WILD! It's like you got a premenition that it was time to make the video.
My DM Switched to Pathfinder a while ago because they were getting bored of running DND 5e and wanted to switch it up for a new campaign within the same setting. Now all the players as well as the DM are enjoying it a lot, the fights are more dynamic and fun and player characters are more personal. Which led to my favourite character i have ever made.
Changing systems can be intimidating, especially one as dense as pathfinder 2e but it can be fun as well, i hope more people can learn to enjoy such a fun system
"Mathfinder' sounds like a robot boss fight if you ask me.

*Seriously, so, so many options. How are there so many races, so many WEAPONS.*
I read this title like "Welcome to Jurassic Park!"
and one can also find those in Golarion ;D (dinosaurs)
There are a lot of things I like about P2E. Traits are one of those. Traits help clear up misunderstandings of rules on abilities and spells, and how they interact with everything.

P.S. I also want to try a new homebrew survival Hard_Magic/Low_Fantasy free roam game with starting 0 lvl PCs, and above normal encounter only rewards XP (probably the highest)
12:09 You can actually do that! Batcave, secret identity, utility and all the rest!!!
13:56 Hey man! Monopoly can get REAL, REAL serious! ;)
I watched a livestream yesterday where people were explaining to d&d players what Pathfinder is,

Been playing Pathfinder for over 8 years. Love all the campaigns I've done with my friends with all the amazing characters we've made.
Playing 5e as well but pathfinder feels better in every way.
Hell yeah! Two years already; here's to many more informative and entertaining projects! 🍻
Damn, Denny’s alone in a hotel room. That sounds like the saddest movie scene ever
the timing on dropping this, in context of the OGL... is kind of amazing
Just recently subscribed to your channel. Your videos has been very helpful and my buddies and I'm eager to dive in to Pathfinder 2e.
wiggle is a mood. I'm looking into pathfinder for uh. Obvious reasons in January 2023? Glad I finally found someone doing good beginner guides for PF2E
I've never played Pathfinder but I've heard about it. I'm just now starting to watch videos about this game, and I gotta say, folks know how to convince someone like ME to play it.
So many ways to create a martial class right from level ONE?
As a main Fighter, I MUST play this game!
Just gonna leave this here: 2e.aonprd.com/Feats.aspx?Traits=71
This vid was made at just the right time
Saying Pathfinder has too much math demonstrates the speaker never had to figure out the area-of-effect of an AD&D Fireball in a narrow corridor.
Spherical trigonometry, anyone?
Oh man, that Monopoly and Catan line was so rough! I'm glad you read it like you did. So funny!
I just found your channel while waffling about jumping into 2e. Watching you helped me make my decision to order the books and I couldn’t be more excited to jump in!!

Your timing is impeccable
Okay, I started Pathfinder 2E for just a bit, went D&D 5E (as that's what friends were using), now due to OGL etc. and ORC, I'm going back and am daunted by the amount of everything. I found your videos and am binge-watching due to the quality of content, the info breakdowns but also your enthusiasm, liked and subbed!
I had some difficulties getting into PF2 but it's been 60ish sessions and a year+ of a game...and I have been here since I saw your Oracle vid and went "yeah, I want my first character to be hard af".
I've played in a good amount of one-shots, made hundreds of characters (ty Wanderer's Guide).
Here's to next year and all the damn Nat1s i keep rolling during crucial moments! 🎊
I am so happy I found your channel. Very informative and entertaining. I just finished creating my first character. A Toxicologist Alchemist with questionable morals whose background is cook, so my food is always delicious and possibly deadly.
Switching from 5e to Pathfinder 2e. Your videos will be very helpful from what I've seen thus far. Your channel is my first Pathfinder sub. I look forward to watching your previous and future content...
My first TTRPG campaign was in Pathfinder 1e which I didn't at the time know was different than DnD. I didn't really understand what was going on very much, but I loved my character concept soo much. I played a halfling (I think) druid who had a giant constricter snake animal companion and would wild shape into a small viper.

Maybe I'll buy a 2e book and see if getting the fictional snake of my dream is possible in this system.
Had my first session of Pathfinder 2e just before as GM, had lot's of fun together with some friends. Love it!
I adore the movements being weaved into each part 12:30
Fresh 2e GM coming from 1e, I only GM'd 2 sessions and I already see the potential in the system, I can't wait to play more ! Thx for your work !
I hope your channel and the community as a whole blows up.
Touching video; keep up the great work!
p.s.: More videos of druids would be nice. 😅
I've finally managed to switch my sunday group to PF this week, so this is actually very useful and well timed
Awesome intro, great message about Pathfinder2 and you pack a tremendous amount of useful information into this video. thanks for introducing so many interesting GMs and content creators!
I love how informative this video is. Thanks to that I'm definitely not going to be playing pathfinder anytime soon. Not because it's not my coup of tea but I'm older now and my group doesn't have the Patience to learn such an indepthed system.
This is a great entertaining video, my home group and I will be diving into abomination vaults in a few weeks and can't wait to give PF2e a try
Hermoso video. Felicidades por estos tres años
I really enjoy how you keep yourself honest, and admit your cringe. Great job again, and thank you for making this video.
So I started a ttrpg group and started playing in pathfinder. One of my preferred systems as it gives players and GMs so many options to be themselves. Switched to dnd 5e for the dnd beyond app during lockdown as the app showed rolls, allowed me as GM to interact with their character, etc. We are now looking to switch back, and personally... I can't wait.
Your vids are amazing and great content. Don't stop man, your doing an awesome job.
Love the Super Mario 64 music in the background.
Thank you for all the videos you put out, but especially the ones you have put out lately. You've been on a tear lately and I've really been enjoying your content!
This video actually convinced me to run the game. Great video!
I'm gonna be honest.... Your intro sounded like a pastor getting ready to do the "call" 🤣 good stuff man, I'm really intrigued for PF2e
2 years already... man... I really glad you keep doing videos even in that time... and I really hope you keep doung videos :D
3:47 TOO REAL, NONAT! Stop spying me!!!
I love that you shared this with other PF2 Streamers. What a generous ending!
Choice Paralysis? **Laughs and cries in PF1E**
I mostly appreciate that it is a net improvement over PF1 in my opinion (better game balance, better clarification, 3 actions per turn). I hope a video game RPG uses PF2 soon-ish.
nb: In practice, I play D&D 5e as it's the system my friends got use to (which I do like though, but if I created a gaming system, it would be closer to PF2).
I don't think you are an average dm. Your improv is amazing.
Every game i saw under your dm'ing was pure fun for players.
Haha, I appreciate it. But I said "Avid" GM 😂😂😂 (Though they sound incredibly similar lol)
@@Nonat1s god damnit my damaged hearing strikes again!
Happy new year, Brogan.
I wish you luck
Just as I was recruiting a set of new players for a oneshot anthology. Excellent timing.
Happy coldest time of the year... 36c degrees xD a big hug from the south hemisphere Nonat! :3
0:01 Yo I get you on the swaying standing thing. Once I noticed I did that in a video of me I got like super cognizant about like "oh no am I nervous swaying oh no D,x"
But like yeah don't worry about it that's just a, like, thing people do I realized xD
Don't worry NoNat, we won't hold it against you if you want to switch to a Monopoly-only channel! We watch for your analysis and charming personality, regardless of system! 💙
"Welcome to my deep dive of "Catopoly". Today I'll go over how it all works."
I really really love the, "If you don't celebrate, then happy coldest time of the year." comment.
It brings a smile to me when ever I see a youtuber like your self just enjoy what you do so much.
And, Thank you. Your videos have helped me through out your videos to create my very character for a soon to be King maker campaign, where I will be playing a Majin (yes, homebrewed majin from Dragon Ball, helping my GM who made it) Gunslinger. Currently still waiting for a session 0 to iron a few things out, but I have already three version of him to go off of depending on the roles the other players want to take in the kingdom before me. A pistelero/Marshall if I become the General, A way of the sniper if I become the Treasurer, Or Vanguard if I become Viceroy.
Glad you got back up on your feet.
Thank you for the video! It's sweet, informative, and to-the-point. I think I'm ready to pick up the rulebook now.
I certainly want to diversify my knowledge of TTRPG systems away from D&D with how horrible WotC have been with the new OGL, and Paizo's Pathfinder seems like a logical first step, considering the similarities and their plan for the new ORC license
I get to play the beginner box tomorrow and its been a year since i played pathfinder. This will help refresh me and get me away from thinking dnd
Getting to play my first ever PF2E game next week! Thanks for this great introduction. Looking forward to watching your backlog!
Just want to say awesome video, found your channel as my D&D group is finishing up 2 long-running campaigns and looking at the next for those groups (both dms and me overlap between the groups) and thinking of trying at least one of them as PF2E with some short adventures and one-shots to try it out first. Videos like this have me really excited to try it as personally I am looking for something a bit less restrictive than 5E character concept wise and from reading PF2E rules and the classes/ancestries/etc it seems to be much easier to take a concept in your head and make a workable character here than in 5E where doing so leads to some really janky 3-4 class multiclass characters that require DM buy-in to make work, hopefully it works out the way the reading makes it seem and looking forward to watching more of your videos, highly entertaining and making learning PF2E more fun than it was for me already.
You uploaded this video at the perfect time for me as I, a week ago as of writing this, just got into Pathfinder 2e. And I searched for TH-camrs that covered Pathfinder and I found this video and it was really helpful to me and so I subscribed. Thank you
I have been playing and Dming D&D 5e for around 4 years. With the recent OGL controversy, my friends and I are looking for an alternative and I hope this system will be it.
I'm a little late to the party, as some life things happened that took me away from TTRPG's for a few years. When I got back, I was honestly not really interested in the system I played those years ago and wanted to try something new. It happened to coincide with that system having some crazy drama come up around it, and I figured I'd re-look at Pathfinder.
I have never been more happy that I did. This is the game I wanted. The ease of creating encounters that were interesting, magic item rules (and prices.. oh my GOD how I've missed simple prices on them), the vast array of choices and 'boss' enemies that felt like tense, dramatic encounters sold me. I think I've found my TTRPG home again.
We love you too, son of Bulmahn with vampire archetype. Great new year to you. Here's to more content, for years to come! Cheers.
The thumbnail gives me “Come on boys, won’t you shake a poor sinners hand?” vibes.
Great guide, thanks, Nonat.
I don't think the line at @13:50 was elitist. I like both Monopoly and Settlers of Catan for different reasons. I think it was a good way to distinguish between various RPG systems. Sometimes you want simple & fast gameplay, and other times you want to sit down and have a longer session where the pace might be a bit slower or might be a bit daunting for new players.
Now I wanna hear about the other two systems in your top three ttrpgs.
Call of Cthulhu and D&D 3.5
Turns out your timing was pretty good
I think I agree with two yeard ago Nonat. Knowing this review came from someone who also thinks of Catan as Monopoly but worthwhile really helps me know I might like the same things about Pathfinder as well.
SO, few things. 1. Great video! your videos on PF2e has made me excited to actually play it. 2. I am going to be one of the ones who drop D&D for at least now. I'm just to mad at them right now to even wanna play their system. My biggest issue is my group have a hard time wanting to learn new systems. I am going to be pushing PF2e on them to hopefully get them to change over at least for a while. I love everything I've heard about it so far. It sounds so much more fun than D&D. I just hope I can get my group interested. Thanks for the videos.
I feel your pain on the fire. Had it happen three years ago and still in the hotel room since we can't afford housing or to move.
The swaying and the Mario 64 water area makes it feel like you're on a boat. XD
But also, thanks. For the welcome.
Happy Holidays!
This video came at the right time! The group I GM for and me are trying pathfinder 2e for the first time soon. They already love the character options and I am excited to see what they come up with.
Noice use of that Mario 64 water music.
My guy!! This dude kicks ass!! Plus zelda background???
Also Happy New Year, Nonat! I am so happy that I discovered your channel.
I discover your videos two months ago, and it's very inspiring me for what I want for my players.
Thank you for that and merry christmas / happy new year :)
I started truly looking into PF2e a couple of weeks ago when a friend of mine offered to run some games for a few of us when we are done with raiding in FFXIV (none of us have a free day in the week aside from that lol), since he was getting frustrated with DnD 5e as a GM and a lot of us were similarly a bit frustrated and/or bored with 5e too. I had looked into PF2e but legitimately was like "the hell is all of this... nevermind this" when I looked at it for the first time.
When I sat down and properly looked into it again, I had turned on one of your videos Nonat as to how to fill in your character sheet and *everything* clicked. I was instantly excited to make a character. While I have made some basic characters to learn how to use the sheet, I am still trying to settle on what that character for the few games will be. Ancestry, class, etc. are still entirely up in the air, though I did already get some good advice on the subreddit. I have even ordered the pocket edition of the Core Rulebook now.
Anyway, I am going back into my cave trying to brainstorm that character lmao
This option paralysis is a weird idea to me. You play fighter and you attack plus kill enemies while protecting the milk drinker caster types. FIGHTERS RULE!!!
This video was… incredibly well timed 😄😂
Who’s here because of the OGL 1.1 fiasco? 😂
Did you go back or are you still with us?
Saving this video to watch once I finish my current campaign and have time to start a new game…
Dang. That hit me hard when everyone explained why they loved it.
I love Monopoly *whispers quietly* I don't know how to play Catan.
Thank you so much for the shoutout friend! (P.s. We're Livestream & TH-camrs too! lol) 💕
Omgosh, this is actually making me consider Pathfinder.... Truly, these are the Last Days....
