On Sunday, I had some friends over, and we played Heat. It was my first time with the game, and I found it to be a lot of fun.
There’s just enough strategy in managing your car’s “heat” level. Take on too much, and you’ll stall out. Don’t take enough risk, and the other players will pull ahead. I accurately captured the tension of racing video games. “Do I floor it and come into the turn quickly, risking spinning out? Or do I brake and take it safely but lose my place?”
So. Much. Pathfinder 2e. And I love it.
I just had a session one for a Wednesday night campaign with a character I’m so excited to play. I have a Friday night campaign I really love with a great character. And my Sunday campaign is marching steadily onward - although I cannot wait to finish Gatewalkers so I can homebrew. Gatewalkers is fine and it’s a lot of fun (the reveal in act 3 of the 1st book was incredible), but I hate running out of books. I love homebrew and I miss it dearly.
I’ve been trying to get together my friends IRL to play the beginner’s box because I don’t think I can ever go back to 5e after experiencing the ease at which PF balances everything. But schedules are, of course, the conflict.
I might try to get my group (5e and P1) to just meet in the middle for a P2 Game when we’re done with our respective campaigns…
The little experience I had with it was quite something!
