This is fantastic news. They also said they will go to court over if WoTC try to “deauthorise” OGL 1.0a which is just epic.
Edit: The site went down lmao. Epic stuff.
Edit: BTW, Paizo is the company that also recognised their Union without requiring it to go to vote or hiring anti-union shitheads.
Apparently, this is all in preparation for 6E, and 5E, as many seem to argue, will have to remain under OGL 1.0a anyways. Who knows how it all ends up shaking out, but I think as long as you stop buying official WOTC items (inc. DNDBeyond), you’ll be gucci.
Yeah we are doing our own setting so we aren't giving WotC any money. I kinda am scared to start DMing with Pathfinder just because I'm not as familiar with the rules, but maybe after some 5e practice, I'll switch fully to Pathfinder.
I did and still kinda do want to run the Critical Role campaign they put out with Wizards earlier this year for some friends who like them. May still do that though as I already own that on DNDBeyond. Would definitly be a trial by fire, but hey, I gotta start somewhere, and my forever DM friend wants to play the game
Yeah PF2e is cool and way more detailed than 5E. The books are way better, from lore to mechanics to adventures.
BUT.
It is harder than 5e. It just is. Not by much. And there are of course many similarities. But some things are different and it can take a while to learn.
I like it. And I prefer it, especially now. But there will be a learning curve if you do decide to switch.
Yeah that is kinda why I want to at least learn to DM with 5e. If someone I know wants to run a Pathfinder Game, I'll play.
