Yeah! As a forever DM I’m happy the group I’m with now agreed to switch to PF2E when I said I wanted to do Season of Ghosts (still running it 2 years later). The encounter math is so much more consistent and I don’t feel like I need to change anything. I am also blessed with no power-gamers so we happily do free-archetype for roleplay reasons. Don’t feel any reasons to switch any time soon, though I am a bit worried about paizo as a company. They may be bigger than pretty much all other indie groups but they’ve definitely had a rough patch lately.
Agreed about Paizo. Actually I worry that the fact they are so particularly-sized meant that they took a bigger-than-usual hit from the Diamond thing; they’re big enough that a substantial chunk of their business was probably FLGS business, meaning that it went through Diamond: a smaller company like Kobold Press potentially does more direct-to-consumer sales, while WotC is big enough to handle their own distribution.
I don’t know any of that, mind. Just a bunch of guesses.
