I have just found £160 in an old wallet that ive not used for 6 months.

Although it’s not really a win, the wife said we can use it to pay for paint and decorate the living room.

Note to self, don’t be so open when finding spare cash!

DND 5e in a world of my own making. Although after we started i realized i should have used Pathfinder, a system i have wanted to learn myself.

There are 4 of them, one had to drop. Wood elf ranger, war forged monk, changeling rogue, and a kenku bard (whoo always fails his stealth rolls, and has the greatest excuses for the failures).

Pathfinder 2e is great, but the crunch can be a bit much for some kids’ first foray into RPGs. 5e has more mass appeal for sure. That sounds like a fun group! Are you playing a published adventure or going full homebrew?

I am starting them with the book that contains the lost mines of phandelver. I am modifying it to fit into my world. I have always loved it as a starting adventure. The group just made it to level 2 and they were so excited.

Nice, LMOP is a good starting adventure for sure. Those first couple levels are always a big deal in 5e since some classes don’t even get all their stuff until they hit level 3. That’s why I usually started new campaigns at level 3 or 4 when I ran 5e. Now since I’m playing PF2e I can get away with starting at first level since all classes get their subclass right away.

I mean, 5e has a lot of crunch too, and worse it is just missing stuff that should be there that makes it even more difficult to actually play.

I agree, but it offloads most of the crunchiness and complexity to the GM. Particularly at low level, there’s very little for the players to keep track of.

Honestly, for a bunch of drama students you probably should have used World of Darkness

That was a consideration. They wanted a fantasy game, and I want not sure I wanted to learn Exalted.
