I'm playing in a long running monthly 5e campaign (enjoying my character, even though its kinda out of sync with what the rest of the players want to do...I can roll with it) as well as a new PF2e campaign...one of the adventure paths. First time into PF2E for me, I don't hate it, but I don't love it! Boy is there a lot of looking things up - I've heard PF1E is many times worse on that front? Crazy times...then again I might have loved it at the time it came out (I was on a PNP hiatus for a while), who knows!
Running wise, I'm about to start up/continue-sorta a long running campaign (the last one is on hold in Tier 4/nearing endgame waiting for one player, so we're starting up another a few hundred years in the future) in a homebrew world. Really excited about getting back to DMing and creating!
Ooh who are you playing in Pathfinder? I had a bunch of fun with my mid-level fighter as well as my low-level magus and didn't feel like I had to look too many things up. Granted, we were playing on Foundry which helped expedite a lot of things.
I'm playing a summoner. Given than 5e doesn't have a pure summoner/pet class, and that's kind of "my thing" I had to give it a shot. It's wacky as hell to run keeping track of all the actions and 1->2, 2+1 etc. trades, but I'm finally getting the hang of it. Hard not to get sucked into analysis paralysis land sometimes.
I uh...also took the Beastmaster free archetype so I have 2 pets at all times, not counting potential summoning spells. I haven't sat down and did the math to see if that would even be doable with the action economy...:)
Edit: We are playing in foundry. I honestly don't know if you could pay me to play PF2E on paper. OK, that's a lie, you could absolutely pay me, but I don't know if I'd do it for free!
