This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Complexity vs. Depth -- A Look Inside Pathfinder 2nd Edition

It's Finally Here! The Pathfinder 2E Review

The second reviewer worries about problematic representation of female demons.

QuoteSpeaking of demons, the only two demons with non-monstrous appearances are both illustrated as female-presenting, and are representative of the sins of Lust and Pride. Yes, the descriptions of both creatures say that gender is fluid and arbitrary for said demons; and yes, they're both clothed very tastefully; but that's still a misstep in this day and age. Heck, D&D 5E isn't perfect in this regard, but it at least depicts both male and female versions of succubi on equal footing and with equal appeal. In a similar vein, the page on orcish culture does nothing to diminish their role as sometimes problematic stereotypes.

Holy God Almighty! That character sheet burned out my retinas!
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

It is indeed a +3 character sheet of burning.

Hm. After reading the writeups, I'm intrigued. The three action system looks interesting, as it's integrated into the spell system. (Using more actions makes the spell do different things) Using other skills for Initiative is interesting (And reminds me of d6 Star Wars a bit) I might have to play a session when my local SFS switches over to the new system to see it in action.

Read through several reviews and a lot of it sounds pretty neat in theory, but I have a horrible feeling it's going to be a cumbersome beast to actually play or run.

I bought the 1st edition corebook for Pathfinder.   I  ALMOST bought the PF2 playtest rules.  I read the page that went pretty deep on preaching to me about being sensitive to LOTS of things.  I put it down.  I wanted to separate the art from the artists.  They seem to be making that very hard to do.

From what I have heard most of the complexity is loaded into character creation and the actual rules for playing only take up 27 pages, which is pretty slim for a DnD game.

I am curious to hear honest reviews. But coming from you, PF2 could come with a sacrificed human baby and a bag of feces and you'd spin those aspects of it as a positive. I suspect you're more biased than the creators of PF2 even :)

Dont believe me because I will not be able to play a game until, well next week will be character creation night I guess, the 15th at the earliest.

Why not check out the links to a couple of reviews of PF2 further up the thread.
