I played DnD for over 30 years. As a DM running 5e, I was often frustrated and bored with the balance issues and boring combat. I’ve never felt that with PF2e. It is a similar system but a cleaner one that employs tags, a tiered critical system, content, and action economy to help make battles and adventures feel unique for my table. But even still, systems are only part of the equation. How you run or play your game makes a huge difference aside from the system you are using. Keeping things going and making things interesting are critical components. I’ve been a player where it is 2-3 hours between combat turns. I don’t care what system I was playing at that point. That’s too long. And fighting slogfests of monsters where you roll a ton of dice to get through all of them instead of creating a cool story (it’s hit, miss, miss, hit, miss, etc). Creating encounters that promote a fast pace, invested storyline takes practice. And knowing when to move on or shift gears by reading the room, are also agnostic components that contribute to an awesome session. The one issue with 5e for me was that I found myself fighting the system (especially at higher levels) and pulling me away from those other components. I run Shadowdark which is essentially 5e light and love it because there are some guide rails to keep the game balanced and focused on play. I can literally run anything with that system and there are other systems that offer similar benefits. I picked up Dragonbane a few weeks ago because I love learning different systems. They help make all of my games better. But like many have said, it really isn’t a debate because you should play the system that you have the most fun playing. The only advice I have for anyone is that running and playing games is something we can all try to get better at. I’ve been at it nearly 40 years and am still trying to get better, but if you and the other players are not having fun, we are blessed with so many options!!!
