I am wrapping up Remaster coverage #3 as I type this.
I haven't been able to do two videos a day yet because I TALK TOO DAMN MUCH. This next video on "10 things I dislike in the Remaster" is almost 45 minutes long!
Making these videos take more time to edit. And my goal is to publish a video nearly every weekday. So sorry I haven't done any of these in Early Access yet. Hopefully things speed up when I get to the classes which shouldn't be as long.

20 ways that Pathfinder 2e is simpler than D&D (The Rules Lawyer)
Many recommend D&D 5e over Pathfinder 2e to new TTRPG players, saying it is "simpler." But I think PF2 has a more approachable/better beginner product in the Beginner Box. And, while PF2 is more complex, there are 20 ways it's simpler than D&D. Here's my list!

Should I branch out and make a strategy video on the Spirit Island board game?
(NOTE: This would only be me dipping my toes, and it wouldn't have any impact on my coverage of the PF2 Remaster books.)
For those of you not in the know, board games have had a "design revolution" in the past 30 years since Settles of Catan became a mainstream hit. And I am called THE RULES LAWYER. And my interests (and my afterschool middle-school class) also became about board gaming.
However, there already are a lot of EXCELLENT channels out there already that explain th...

(There's a very famous phrase in the TTRPG community that I wanted to use here, but decided not to. I didn't want to "steal their fire" ;) )
This is an excerpt of my "20 ways Pathfinder 2e is simpler than D&D" video. So this contrasts D&D's bonus action system with Pathfinder 2e.
