I agree with the name issue. DC is a self-reference and people who don't follow @TheDungeonCoach's channel or any other youtuber who talks about DC20 (who doesn't?) won't understand the name. I disagree with the damage roll issue. Players complain much more about the time combat takes and the fact that a critical roll may very well end up doing little damage. DC20 solves both problems with a single elegant solution. I also disagree with your opinion on the second attack penalty. I think it not only makes the game more balanced (a mechanical reason), but also makes it more realistic. I agree with the monster stat blocks problem. I had to familiarize myself with the rules a lot to understand them at first glance to run my first game. I think it should be designed with new players in mind. I agree with the rest, advantage stacking is a wonderful solution (I wanted to allow double advantage in D&D without destroying the balance of the action economy, but I gave up trying to tweak it)

DnD is unplayable at high levels (lack of balance) and is no go since we play huge campaigns from 1 to 20.

I like PF2e but it becomes quite a chore at higher levels as a GM. It's not as bad as in PF1e, but it's there. I like how well balanced the system is and how organized it is... but still, I feel I need to become a rules-lawyer to be a good PF2e GM, and I just can't. The modifiers are getting me, it's a tad too much. 😅

Pathfinder 2e is a bastardization of DnD. Regardless of its heavy emphasis on rules and choices, it somehow succeeded in destroying spellcasting classes, has incredibly archaic and unfun summoning mechanics (because yes, a Necromancer should be able to just bring undead out of thin air), and removed Paladin, the DEFINING anti Evil class. Good riddance.

As someone who also switched to PF2e then back to 5e I am glad to see I'm not the only one with this perspective. I feel like I only see PF2e players talking about how many customization options there are but nobody talks about how good they are. My group played from levels 1-12 with the free archetype rule and at least 60% of my character sheet was fluff that sounded useful on paper but never saw use over the entire campaign. Even though there are less options in 5e, I can confidently say that I have used 95% of any one of my character's abilities at least once in a campaign. Even after having this experience as a player, I ran a short PF2e campaign and found the system clunkier than I initially thought. Even with Archives of Nethys open, figuring out how the "Grab" trait on a monster's attack worked was clunky, time-consuming, and un-fun. I love the idea of a crunchy, customizable, high fantasy system, but PF2e isn't quite that for me.

Also, if Serif would just allow for scripting/plug-ins, third-parties could figure out ways to provide screen reader support or other equally useful tools. Using the Crop tool + the Eraser tool is a very cool effect that I'm going to steal, thanks!

As a player I think the "tightly balanced" bit is far over-emphasized. Our campaign is running mythic rules and I've got magic items 3 levels higher than I am... and it runs FINE. Sure, combat isn't always a tightly tuned gamble where a TOK could happen... and that isn't the game most people really want, especially not people who would otherwise play 5e. So feel free to be generous with awards, hand out homebrew items and powers, etc. Well balanced doesn't mean easily tipped over, it means STABLE.

O like how easy it is to adjust PF2e because there are lots of balanced things to use as guideposts. So reskinning and custom stuff has clear flags for what will make it balanced, or intentionally unbalanced. It is a bit Crunchy, so I use 13th age for more rules light and fast. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

When I want crunchy, I play Pathfinder 1e. When I want rules lite, I play DnD 5e. PF 2e holds no appeal for me, as much as I tried it across multiple campaigns. It's crunchy but so balanced that your character creation choices have almost no impact. It's supposed to be streamlined but actually about as hard to learn as its much more customizable older brother, PF 1e. Bye bye, 2e. But happy gaming to those who like it.
