This guy breaks down just how bad the layout of the new PHB is. The cross referencing is non-existent and the subsections seem to go in the order someone thought of them. I’m sadly unsurprised that they’ve not improved on any of these problems which existed in the original 5e PHB.

    I started a Pathfinder game because I wanted to get away from D&D, and because two friends really got into Dimension20 stuff and wanted to give RPGs a try. I was digging the rules a lot but they’re watching 6-8 hours of D&D content a week and playing PF2E every couple of weeks, and it was just a huge disconnect for them. With Abomination Vaults getting a 5e release, it just seems easier to make the switch back to something my players are more comfortable with.

    Now to convince my cousin he wants to run a PF2E game so I can get that bard life going.

      That’s so sad. The people who have tried to move to making Pathfinder content got bludgeoned back to preaching the one true way of D&D by YouTube’s recommendation engine, too, meaning that there’s very little high production value PF2 content.

      I can recommend Mortals & Portals, as an actual play.

        I’m only 4 episodes into Mortals & Portals but will also second this recommendation. Those dudes are hilarious.
