We review the Pathfinder 2 playtest.
Check below for a ready-to-run version of the first playtest adventure, with annotations that make it mostly a system neutral one page dungeon.
Here’s an affiliate link to Beyond the Wall, the vv interesting OSR game discussed in the episode.
The daily/long rest thing. No more resting in dungeons. When you take a sleep, you get to prepare your daily spells and such, and you get back some hp based on level. After a really long rest, like a week, you do a reset.
Magic weapons do extra damage dice. Pretty magical.
Action economy. It’s aesthetically pleasing and less confusing to explain to newbies than 5e’s economy.
Well, pretty much everything else, but here are a couple zingers.
Rules for walking and talking at the same time:
Insane rules written by and for robots from another dimension:
You’re welcome.

We actually play Mathfinder. After all the trash talk, we finally see what it’s really all about. You’ll see the new 2e playtest mechanics in action (at least the ones that Daniel can remember), and hear us wail in acute existential despair! Review coming next ep.

Apologies in advance, but this episode is us helping Tim create a Pathfinder 2e character and complaining about it with amused detachment.
In the process, you’ll hear how a quick first-time generation goes, where someone has read a little bit and has a lot of help.
You’ll also hear about some of the differences between Pathfinder 2 and the past and present versions of D&D: proficiency, leveling, the action economy, etc.
We do actually like some of the changes, but, of course, detest most of them. Join us in the suffering.
