I suppose I’m used to really broken builds being accomplished even early on from previous 3.5e and PF1e experience which is why I gravitated towards potentially locking out other books. Glad to hear that isn’t really the case or needed for PF2e.

I will see if I can find a used copy of Menace/Troubles to read through or if all else fails check my local game shop. Maybe the library might….they’ve had 5e books before.

We’re all going into this expecting something different than what we’re used to and the re-balancing is going to be a big part of it.

I’m still reading through the core books myself to more familiarize myself with everything. I guess I’m just anxious as well as I want it to be a fun experience.

I had looked at the Beginner’s Box but it seemed more geared toward those new to TTRPGs in general versus just learning the new system. I could be wrong, though. For that reason we were looking at more of a short, guided adventure which led me to find Rusthenge and Crown of the Kobold King.

Thank you for the advice!

I had looked at the Beginner’s Box but felt it was a little too much of a tutorial for combat and more meant for those new to TTRPGs in general. We’ve been playing for years so I was looking for something just a little bit more than that, which led me to Rusthenge and Crown of the Kobold King. I know that the latter can go much longer but I also don’t have to run all the chapters for our first go. Wasn’t CotKK remastered for PF2e or am I mistaken?

The difference between loopholes with player power such as with 3.5e and PF1e coming to PF2e is something we’re looking forward too. It’ll be a nice change of pace we feel.

As a new DM and new to PF2e in general I am also wondering what books/sources to restrict everyone to. I know there’s the couple player core books but have you any other suggestions? One player has expressed interest in Battlecry for the Guardian class.

We are also looking at using Pathbuilder for sheets.

It can be good if it has everything you need already built in, but adding more can be a pain.

Still trying to find a Linux distro that doesn’t cause my HTPC to hard lock up after a few hours. Dunno why. No issues on Windows but as it can’t run W11, trying to find a distro that works.

Sometimes it doesn’t even matter with how things such as YouTube and other social media algorithms work.

You can avoid searching but they’ll still throw spoilers at you on the main page because you’ve shown interest in that series/show/etc before.

I hate it.
