@fabledbrush =O  Crit fail on perception check lol.  I almost played the Pathfinder system, but then life decided to get in the way =/  Sounds like a good system you have going.

I’m actually a new DM running my first campaign in 5e, and it’s been really fun so far.  It’s a party of 4, two new guys and two oldies who have played 3.5e for years before.  It’s a really fun dynamic.  I have a rogue that just wants to loot everything, a quiet monk kind of observing the game (he’s loosening up a bit), a con artist bard, and the fourth one decided to change his character from a ranger to a paladin, which wasn’t a big deal.  It’s still fairly early in the campaign.  My favorite character interaction so far was when the monk and rogue, the new guys, met up with the bard, an oldie.  They walked into town, I described the mayor was talking to a tall humanoid with horns and a tail, and the rogue just immediately pick-pocketed him.  Absolutely hilarious.  Now I’m trying to figure out repercussions for him later down the road because he straight up robbed a guy and just keeps looting everything he sees while also keeping the others interested.  He’s not bad otherwise, just a goof.  So now there’s a fun dynamic between the rogue and bard.

Building the world is fun, too, more fun that I realized I could make it.  I’m making some hopefully recurring characters, like a gnome ranger merchant who travels between towns so the players can stock up on stuff when they need to.

But anyway, good stuff to pull from.  Sounds like you have plenty to pull from, too!
