I've watched all of chapter one with Matt and company, very fun. Halfway through the first episode of chapter two, so I will wait to judge it too harshly. It is very different, but has lots of things I like.

I'm really happy for you that this has been your experience. For the campaigns I have played in, the abundance of rules has always felt like it has gotten in the way of the game being played for fun.

The games I GM for are either 5e or another type of game entirely, like Call of Cthulhu. In any of those other games, the rules feel like they exist to support the game. I am a player in a few PF2E games, and in every single one, our sessions barely ever accomplish more than 2 rooms of a dungeon, or a single combat encounter; we spend the entire session checking how exploration actions work, or what the standard DC is supposed to be for a level X creature.

I am glad people enjoy Pathfinder, but so far it has not been for me. I just want other people like me to see that it is okay not to click with a certain game, no matter how popular it is.

Pointing to a franchise that has been incredibly stale and unimaginative for years now and using that to condemn video games as a whole is pretty misguided, I think.

My favorite example of the reverse in recent memory has been Wizards of the Coast essentially going back completely and then some on their unpopular OGL changes after a significant portion of their DnD Beyond members canceled their subscriptions.

Another, wondering the same.

I was right at the 10 year mark myself. I only use it now when a thread comes up in a search, I don't ever go there just for the sake of it anymore.

Did you have an argument

That is a very good guess.

First for UK/ Germany specifically, or first for any two countries in the EU?

Language is fluid. The character named Milquetoast the expression comes from was based on the idea that milk and toast are a bland and uninteresting meal anyway. The idea is communicated either way.

Have been badly burned in Florida when the humidity was high, can confirm.

Not sure why the photo is sideways, my apologies.
