It’s a really fun system, and there are some great tools out there to run a game. Been using path builder 2e for character sheets, and recently discovered their encounter tracker thing and it is the best I’ve used… See monster and player key stats (like hp ac and saves) or full Stat blocks, add conditions on the fly, even generate random encounters… It is truly an amazing tool for dms.
Aren’t they planning to completely rework it, to cut all the existing ties to DnD/OGL?
Because that would mean it is… not quite right time to start playing, no?
They already converted the core system, I have the GM Core and Player Core books.
That being said it’s a minor remaster. all old content is compatible. My group has barely noticed the differences aside from a few naming differences. (There are more differences, I would say about 10-20% of the system changed, but it’s not as confusing as that sounds)
You can play Pathfinder for free. The whole system, not just the core.
It’s a better system.
Paizo is a better company.
I’m not omitting any context here. Pathfinder is the linux of the ttrpg world.

Oh that’s good to know. Backward compatibility is very good news (for me).
