Hi all,
So I have been gaming my entire life. Over 40 years. Here's some initial feedback since I started my PF2 Kingmaker campaign a few months ago:
First of all, why did you use the same version number for Pathfinder 2 and Remaster? Version numbers are meant to allow you to distinguish between changes such as this. It is very annoying as a new person to have to realize that SOME books are remastered and others are not. Pathfinder 2.5? Why not? I can only assume you didn't because you had already invested in "branding"?
I also paid $49.99 for the Kingmaker adventure path PDF (and $100 for the hardcover) which not only is not remastered, but still has references to Bestiary 6 from the Pathfinder 1 ruleset? In particular I mean things like "elite" monsters which are now on page 6 of the new bestiary but in Kingmaker you have it listed as Bestiary 6? Bestiary 1 came out in 2019?! You don't think you should update the references in the PDFs you charge $50 for?
Kingmaker makes a LOT of references to things that have been changed in remaster. I could live with it if I didn't spend $150 on it. $50 for the PDF, and $100 for the hardcover, and it's not even up to date? Shame! Pathfinder 2 remaster came out in 2023...that was 3 years ago. What's up?
So in short: the game is good, but to a new player, the erratic nature of your ruleset makes it look confusing and of poor quality.
OTOH your support of Archives of Nethys is fantastic and it is an essential resource. Thanks for that site! It is one of the best gaming resources I have ever seen.
