D&D 5E players learn Pathfinder 2e from The Rules Lawyer! (Character Creation) FULL STREAM
222Here is a shorter edit of this stream focused on the players' reactions (not on teaching): https://youtu.be/WrLeal1nHVE
I taught RPGs to middle schoolers for several years before making this channel. And one of my passions with my channel has been to teach people Pathfinder 2e! I will livestream me teaching 4 players with various levels of TTRPG experience but are all united in that they have played D&D 5E and have yet to play Pathfinder!
This weekend we will go over character creation, and next weekend we will do a short adventure. I will be answering questions all along the way!
The "Session Zero" Google Doc I'm using: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZGKYFVwq8G2o8zYXpoqv1ZRMpz4OwiIm/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103126219751482573768&rtpof=true&sd=true
