  • Hmmm, I’m very sorry to hear that, honestly. I’d say the average PF2e player takes it a bit more seriously than the average DnD5e/N player, but not a whole lot.

    Perhaps it’s the part of the community you engaged with? Obviously every forum/chat server is going to have it’s own flavor. The older communities that started with PF1e and still focus there are going to be more elitist in general just because of how PF1e came to be and it’s target audience. But PF2e is much more widely targeted.

    Discord isn’t free, private, or open source, but it does host several great PF2e communities I participate in if you’d like a recommendation. But if you are just sharing your personal experience and aren’t looking for a “solution”, that’s totally valid and I completely respect that.




  • I’d argue it’s not more complex, just different. Once you play 3 action combat you’ll never want to go back.

    People get intimidated by the depth of PF2e, but just remember that DnD5e/N is also a fairly complex system where you only reference specific rules when you need to, same as PF2e. The advantage is that PF2e is (in my opinion) more cohesive and better covers edge cases.







  • We designed The Fairphone (Gen. 6) to last as long as possible, making it robust and modular to enable easy repairs, customization, and upgrades.

    We want to empower users to take ownership of their products by offering them easy options for maintenance and repairs. How long it lasts will also depend on the user and on how they treat their phone. But to make it as easy as possible, we have created an ecosystem that supports long-lasting use, first-hand or second-hand. We offer:

    • Reasonably priced spare parts and repair tutorials
    • Regular software platform updates (latest Android software) and security updates 5-year warranty (to be activated via fairphone.com/warranty)
    • Access to source code and open source development encouraged Active reminders to perform regular maintenance, making sure the phone remains in good state for as long as possible
    • Financial rewards via the “Keep Club” loyalty program for every time a repair is performed and for every year a phone is kept in use

    What are the plans for Android and security updates with The Fairphone (Gen. 6)?

    We are planning to provide at least Android 16 to Android 22, so seven years of Android upgrades from launch and one extra year of security updates only, so eight years of software support in total!

  • Seems like a stand up guy with a ton of qualifications. Hopefully enough of the members see him as an agreeable alternative to MBS. All the problems he mentions are very real and very visible, and unfortunately much bigger than he carefully implies. The consolidation of power and authority and extreme lack of accountability is appalling.

    Hell, just for the regulations of 2026 debacle (giving teams basically just 1 season of development is so horrible considering the huge swath of changes) MBS obviously needs to go, and likely, hopefully, the member orgs are upset.

    And more pointedly, all the recent morality police bullshit and the horrific sexism, particularly demonstrated in his culling of female leadership roles and around the extremely negligent FIA disinterest in F1 Academy, which is nearly entirely run by Susie Wolff and like 3 sponsors with basically no budget or marketing support from FIA.
