I highly recommend Pathfinder 2e if folks were wondering what to play instead of dnd 5e. Easily the best ttrpg action system I've tried.
Agreed, we’re about half a year and halfway through Abomination Vaults right now. Using PF2e with Foundry VTT has been amazing, especially with all the built-in automation.
The thing I like most about Pathfinder is how well documented their rules are. 5e had a bunch of hand wavy DM-fiat rules, while PF2e typically has a rule for almost everything.
Several friends and I are also being run through PF2e while using Foundry and it's been incredible. We've all casually played 5e in the past, but the learning curve for PF2e has been quick and short. And, like you said, much easier to find an answer to really specific or strange situations overall. Makes for a really solid experience as a player.
