Amazing stuff! How do you find Pathfinder mechanically from a DM perspective? I played a bit of 1e as a player yeaaaaars ago but have only DM’d in D&D 5e (and this has reminded me I need to figure out the next session).
I started out playing DnD 5e years ago (almost a decade now I think) and I was quickly given the title of Forever DM. As I got deeper and deeper into the game and my understanding grew I heard some people online talk about 3.5e and how much better it was. I had started to get a bit dissatisfied with 5e and after reading the 3.5e Core Rulebook it was all over. Character creation was more in depth, way more content for players and DMs, every aspect of the game was better. I played 3.5e for several years until I heard about Pathfinder and things got even better. Pathfinder 1e is my absolute favorite ttrpg system. Its everything I want out of an rpg, especially as a DM. In 5e, whenever you try to make new monsters or adjust stats the DMG just tells you to guesstimate. In Pathfinder, everything is supported by math and easy to understand forumulas to help ensure balance. I can increase a monsters hit dice to make them more powerful, give them class levels, add a template (of which there are many), or change their stats around. I love Pathfinder, and if you're still playing 5e I suggest you get out now. Wizards of the Coast is a terrible company that abuses their customers (see OneDnD fiasco and the MtG Pinkerton Incident) and Paizo, the creators of Pathfinder, create more content for the game in one year than WoTC makes for 5e's entire lifetime. IDK if you can PM me, but if you can please do and ill provide you with all the basic Pathfinder books as pdfs. If you like it, then go buy the actual books. Oh also Paizos books dont cost 60 dollars each.
