FGU as a system learning tool

[mhossom]

Some background to help this make sense. I have pretty severe ADD. I take meds for it while I'm at work and it wears off by the time I get home. I don't like to take it on the weekends. This makes learning a new gaming system by reading the books nearly impossible for me. Even if I can manage to focus long enough to read the book, I retain very little of the material.

This is complicated by the fact that I am a Forever GM. So, it's up to me to introduce new systems to my group.

By using the character wizard in FGU, I have been able to figure out the mechanics of PF2e. I learn by doing and your software made it very easy for me to learn this system.

Next up for our group, Strength of Thousands.

Yes, it enables many ways to experiment anything in a ruleset by trial and error.

As a side note, you can use a learning technique called Pomodoro to divide your reading into 20-25 min learning + 5 min reflection sessions to not overload yourself.

I wish you a quick recovery and happy gaming to your group.
