I just wanna start DMing a game and I need to buy $150 in books to do so? The fuck.

Edit: Lots of people telling me to play other systems. Here’s what’s up:

  • I want to play a 1-on-1 game with my wife
  • I’ve never DMed before
  • She’s never played a TTRPG, so this would be her introduction
  • She’s been reading a lot of fae-related fantasy, which has me thinking she may want to play roleplay heavy with some fae storylines present
  • Ideally the system wouldn’t be too crunchy or combat focused

Edit 2: I’ve spoken with her and she actually wants a more modern setting

    understandable, i grew up on 3.0 and 3.5 so pf always felt relatively intuitive for me, but it's definitely not for everyone.

    personally i don't think the crunch is unnecessary per se but i think i would have liked to see a little more care taken to which pieces were ported over. i suppose that's what 2e is for
