One quite jarring effect I've noticed about the #DnD modern DM culture is that it leads DMs to assume they have to completely wing it for all other systems.

I once had a GM new to #Pathfinder2e who straight up did not know that the 'treasure for new characters' table even *existed* until I told him.

SilverGM Oh, that’s incredibly common on Reddit. People don’t read the books, so have no idea that the treasure tables exist, nor that the DC tables exist, that there are guidelines for monster creation, or even that there are pre-defined actions for things like feinting.
The flip side of that, though, is that a lot of the people that new GMs are talking to are hyper-orthodox about the game, and have the default position of “why even play this game if you want to do [thing that deviates by an arbitrary amount from the Golarion setting]?”
