I'm not complaining but on videos like this I want to see the whole tierlist on a single image at the end of the video. Sometimes I don't have enough time :).

Hey no nat you've officially got famous enough for the telegram scammers to lurk around your channel pretending to be you. Congrats man.

Gamemastery Guide is A-tier, possibly even S-tier, for me. It is hands down the best GM guide ever published. Just think about the monster building rules or gestalt-like systems in the past; At best they were vague guidelines, and at worst they were hostility rejected by the community. Free Archetypes and the Monster Building rules alone make the GMG absolutely invaluable, and there's tons of other excellent advice that gives it legendary status on my bookshelf.

Only started this, but it's already a 10/10 video for acknowledging the core rule book layout being very hard to digest for beginners despite loving PF2e.

Core rulebook is A tier dawg. Come on. It's literally so good. Yeah the layout is annoying, but it has everything you could ever need to play for yeeeeeears

I've run the Beginner's Box at multiple conventions and it is always great. The first few rooms are a little combat heavy, but a great dungeon.

No Travel Guide?

I loved the mwangi expanse because ANADI.

Book of the dead is probably my favorite. Undead are always my go-to evil guys. You can put them anywhere, they are fundamentaly evil and they appear because magic. They are litteraly like: let's wait here for 500 years and kill the first guy coming through this door.

Wait, you'll give the Core Rule Book a C for poor layout but give Dark Archive an A for an arguably worse layout !?

For my future reference

I'm not even mad that you put one of my favorite Lost Omens books at D-tier; your reasons are your own, and you laid them out well. But there was one thing that really made Gods and Magic click with me: the Boons and Curses written for the major gods (and the following web supplement with those for twenty of the less famous ones). Between that and the table in the back with the 200+ god entries, I had what I needed to build a god entry for Weydan (a Starfinder god) for my player's time-displaced vesk Champion (iruxi with reskinned ancestry feats). It did exactly what I love these books for: if there isn't something that I specifically need, it gives me all the context and information to build something thematic and balanced that fits right where it's supposed to, and as a GM I can pay it no higher compliment than that.

Really appreciate this video! I have nothing but good to say about the Beginner Box and I love that they released a small adventure pack that takes you to level four right from the end of the boxed campaign and all the pathfinder pawns for the monsters you need are included in the box. My campaign is currently on hold while we wait on a single player's job situation to change but I cannot wait to get back into PF2 and now that I've actually played it your videos are helping me out even more. I would love to see all the books listed on a single screen so that we can quickly view the comparison between them, especially if we are considering picking up a few and don't want to have to scan through the video to see your rating on each.

I'm curious to know whether you felt you rated these books more like a player than a GM? As someone who's looking to make their own campaign I would've rated the world guide and character guide higher than you did, simply for the amount of background lore you can use to flush our your campaign setting.

Is it me or The Travel Guide is missing in the list. Great video anyways. If it’s possible could your share an image with the whole list order by tiers?

I think the reason for the undead ancestries are archetypes and no, well, ancestries o versatile heritages, is that, with archetypes, the player can become undead in the middle of a campain and transform little by little. And the archetype sistem is a perfect mecanic in the game for that.

Coming from DnD 5e, PF2e Core rulebook is amazing. At least a level above what I'm used to from WoTC. It's an A from me and I absolutely love Secrets of Magic and Book of the Dead; both are S-tier for me. I enjoyed Geb's writings and getting glimpses of how his mindset changed through the ages. Also, the statue that starts new and slowly crumbles to skeleton as the chapters continue is chef's kiss

Love this....but I was looking forward to a review of the "Travel Guide", too! 😁

I love the mwangi expanse book, I never played in that area and most games I'm in barely take place in Golarion°tm but the ancestries, items and archetypes are legit cool as hell. Gnolls have been given so much love there which coming from 3.5 dnd was so refreshing to see.
