This is valuable for pathfinder 2 folks too! I think most PF2 players/DMs are familiar with the idea of there being multiple rules systems but DnD players aren’t. They may know intellectually but have never experienced another ttrpg system. It’s a bit of system shock. Dave kind of aludes to at the beginning but a good understanding on the PF2 side is probably necessary to help people migrate without unnecessary stress.
This video was GOLD! I immediately shared it with my audience on UA-cam and my personal gaming group. Thanks so much for all you do to make PF2e accessible to new players!
I'm a Pathfinder GM. Your content is the best. Some things you could have mentioned: First, Pathfinder 2e scales to higher levels much better than 5e. I have run multiple level 1-20 campaigns using published Adventure Paths and it remained challenging for my players without becoming too hard. Second, the published Adventure Paths are great and are straightforward to run. Your videos do a good job of pointing out trouble areas. Third, the character customization options in PF2e are endless, particularly if you use the Free Archetype variant, and having something to choose for your PC at every level adds a lot of enjoyment and anticipation to leveling up. Fourth, I would like to emphasize that Archives of Nethys has all the rules/spells/classes/etc and is free to use (although I make a monthly donation to keep it running). Fifth, there are frequent HumbleBundles where you can pick up PDF versions of the core books for pennies on the dollar and help a good cause at the same time.
This is really great! Just getting my group to switch systems. Already recommended the playlist of all your videos, but this will be a good summary for those without the patience! Quick note: in D&D 5e, the rule isn't that you multiply the damage dice total by two, it's that you double the number of all damage dice rolled (including things like sneak attack or magic item damage) and then add modifiers.
Flexible Preparation is pretty much a free always-on thing at my table. I know it screws up the balance, but frankly no one (including me) can bother keeping track of spell slots and what's in them every day. It's the one big area where 5e rules over Pathfinder 2e IMO. That said, we're playing PF2e anyway, so we like it overall a lot more.
The most important thing to remember is this . . . If you are a conservative, a republican, a constitutionalist, a husband, a wife, a child of a couple (member of a family), you believe in the rule of law, or you simply like to think for yourself, the "fine" people at Paizo and Hasbro will love selling you their books, while at the same time hating you, despising you, and mocking you behind your back. Just thought you should know. Just remember, there thousands of RPGs out there. You're not stuck choosing between D&D or Pathfinder/Starfinder.

Your videos help me get my players on track to play PF2e. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work.
This is valuable for pathfinder 2 folks too!

Thank you so much for helping thousands of players learn pf2e!

Very clear video. Good work.
This is a really nice overview
OMG - I have a new group of 5e players about to go into the Beginner's Box. Thank you!!
Like a few, our table has moved on to P2E. Started with Tunnels & Trolls :) Probably never D&D again.
Flexible Preparation is pretty much a free always-on thing at my table. I know it screws up the balance, but frankly no one (including me) can bother keeping track of spell slots and what's in them every day. It's the one big area where 5e rules over Pathfinder 2e IMO.

What's there to keep track of? You write a list and cross it off as you use stuff.
