minus-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoI need to read up on Pathfinder 2e. I know the “joke” was that 1e was basically D&D 3.75… which was a bit too powergamey for my tastes, so I never even looked at 2e…

minus-squaresmeg@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·15 hours agoI guess it’s all relative. I’ve played a handful of different TTRPGs, and d&d and pathfinder are much closer to each other than to things like VtM or BitD.
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·14 hours agoYes, of course. I don’t disagree with that.
