Be careful, with honesty like this you may get a visit from the Pinkos

Remember, Hasbro sees the customers as an obstacle between them and THEIR money.

The difference between a privately owned company and a publicly traded one. Also, Paizo was founded and is run by people who used to work for WOTC before Hasbro bought them out, and Hasbro gave them a big payout when they took over, too.

Paizo: Every book is packed with both lore stuff and tonnes of rules options for both players and game masters to customise the game however they want! Let's work towards a more inclusive gaming space for everyone! WotC: 🚬 The Spelljammer book doesn't have rules for ship-to-ship combat, don't bother. Buy a separate board game to get army battles in Dragonlance. Get your DM to fix any problems with our busted game.

Three months later: "Sir, the Kineticist is released!" "WHEN I SAID YOU SHOULD MAKE IT STRONGER I DIDN'T MEAN IT SHOULD BE THE BEST CLASS IN THE GAME!" "But sir, people are liking the class, they say it's really cool and unique." "Oh, really? Then it's okay, people really wanted to re-enact ATLA I guess. Get a raise."

I do like the critique of Paizo paying artists well below standard for their work... seriously that is the one big thing Paizo need to work hard on.

You're fired. Ok, now I'm working for Paizo😂😂😂

Why would hasbro print a rulebook when they could print half a rulebook and call it "roleplaying focused"?

Pinkerton notices

Anyone else notice how hard Wizards is pushing hardback book sales? Like they really don't make many softbacks. Just seems odd, since hardback tends to be more expensive. They also don't print short as many short adventure modules anymore. Everything is like a full 50 dollar book.

How did you manage to sneak cameras into their offices?

Damn it's so true.. Wizard's books do have some great cover art..

All of my money already went to games workshop

My group and I switched to Pathfinder 2 about 3 months ago, and I can't even look at D&D 5e anymore. The Pathfinder system is superior in every aspect, and I feel that the material treats me with respect (I'm the DM), providing me with all the tools I need.

This is not a joke video, this is a documentary.

Damn so on the money.

This would be good as Shorts layout, vertical 🙌

The Pinks are rapidly approaching your location

Nailed it

Hopefully the union within Paizo fixes their two main problems; bad pay and opaque management

Nothing about the ogl fiasco on how it affected pathfinder 2e sales vs dnd 5e sales?

Yo 😂😂 this was great

Does Paizo not pay their artists???

True

How they really treat their customers DnD: We offer product and we want money from you PF: We offer product and we want money from you

To be fair there is a lot of mindless dnd drones that will keep buying dnd

Sad but true Economy is broken, but Paizo are still the least of two evils

As a person who is stuck playing D&D 5e because it is what my friends run but runs Pathfinder 1e personally: I do think that the idea that Paizo is without sin gets a little too syncophantic. Paizo is much better about keeping any outrage they induce in us smaller and more personal. I find great irony in the idea that Paizo takes feedback. When we were helping them playtest 2e, the head of their messageboards and the COO's partner straight up stated that 1 any feedback outside their very specific playtest material testing was not something they wanted. (Ie they wanted us to test if healing was well balanced but only at levels 8-10, with a specfic party composition that all could cast off the divine list and exclusively while fighting undead.) 2 when people asked why the above, he cited that he had worked on Magic the Gathering's Alpha release (Richard Garfield and others remember him playing the game enthusiastically and hired him on to pack boxes during unlimited's printing as it took off) and that no one then had believed that a new unproved business concept like a TCG would work except him and Richard. According to Vic this is a prime example of how the fans don't know what they want even though unproven completely new type of game (Magic) vs evolution of a formula (PF 2e) are two far different situations for fans to be giving input about.

One company makes games. Other company makes profit.

Based on true stories

👏👏👏

You forgot the part where Paizo tells people what character options their allowed to play or not play via ancestry rarity and ACP

Yes, Wizards of the Coast are made perfectly.

lol

I stopped buying WotC products when they admitted that Orcs remind them of black people 😂

This implies that paizo forgets to pay people and makes unbalanced classes, then forces people to buy new books to fix them. I think both Pathfinder and dnd are bad.

D&D has been nothing but good to me. Every complaint I hear about them has been stupid.

I have to disagree on most points. 5e was my first real dive in to table top rpg. I'd played some others, like Vampire, but never got in to it because the rules and lore were so convoluted and involved. Whilst stripping it down to make it more accessible to new players might seem lazy, it allows for DMs and players to get much more imaginative and forces them not to rely on premade modules all the time. The story is supposed to be written by the players, not the creators of the system. If it's rules for gameplay, yeah you shouldn't have to convert it from older systems, but I've only once had to do that. Regardless, the old systems are still there and you can play them all you want. No one is forcing anyone to buy the new editions. Fifth edition just made it so more people could play, which solved a huge problem in older editions. The problem of finding enough reliable players to get past level 3. It also fine tuned a lot of things and made death a lot less common and arbitrary. Like the fact that it wasn't hard to die from falling off a horse at level one. I'd much prefer the books being a little bare-bones over having to spend a month learning lore just to have your wizard die because they tripped and fell off the sidewalk on to a thorn bush.
