Sounds cool! And I've been a PF2e enjoyer the past year too :party-parrot: Tight math of PF2e probably offsets some the difficulty of balancing encounters. Seems like more personalized stories are a small price to pay for regular game night.
I've been running two premade modules for 2e over the last year or so, and we've probably average a game every other week for each of them over that time, which is better than a lot of groups I've been in. Haven't really been a module DM in the past, but TBH I really like Paizo's work, and its pretty easy to still personalize and modify to fit the players more tightly, while still being less of a workload on me. Run on FoundryVTT currently; still hermit mode due to Covid unfortunately. Foundry is super quick and easy with its automation, but I definitely still miss the coziness of in-person play.
If your social credit score is high you're gonna be at the game every weekend anyways so you do get to develop your character a lot. Theres a lot of little things that effect the algorithm, like we keep track of people bringing food, getting new books for the dm, messaging the bot before a session that you can't come, whether or not you joined the group recently, etc. so that it isn't 100% on the DM to host and do everything. Makes it quantitatively fair without having to fret about stupid stuff.
