Does Pathfinder combat BREAK IMMERSION? D&D YouTubers reflect on struggles and learning PF2 tactics
In our Outlaws of Alkenstar campaign, during a raid in which the gang's fortunes went south, PAPA FANCY & THE BIG BANG BROTHERS took a moment to talk about their experience getting used to Pathfinder 2e and figuring out how to play their characters well in combat. (SwingRipper is a PF2e vet, while the others are new.)
