Firsthand play reports are thin: six across three threads, and most of the discussion was about licensing or about choosing between editions. The few people who run Pathfinder 1e describe long campaigns and plenty of content. They also say it takes real system knowledge and group buy-in to get going.
Each thread is rated for the play it describes, from the firsthand reports in it. Load one here or read it on Reddit.
The thread is mostly about whether to pick PF1e over PF2e and about ancestry arguments, so firsthand play reports are sparse. The few people who ran PF1e say it is deep and fun for system-savvy groups but hard to teach and full of trap options. 4 firsthand · 158 comments
The thread is almost entirely about Paizo's licensing change, not play. The only firsthand PF1e report is a GM who has run it for years and says it has more than enough content to keep playing indefinitely. 1 firsthand · 181 comments
The thread is mostly about alternatives to D&D 5e and Pathfinder, such as Weird Wizard, OSR games, Blades in the Dark, Cypher, Delta Green and DCC. The only Pathfinder 1e firsthand mention is one commenter who runs and plays it twice a week, and they don't describe how it plays, so there isn't enough to rate. 1 firsthand · 179 comments
