minus-squaresmeg@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·1 day ago Pathfinder is very different mechanically to dnd Is it though?
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoDepends on which edition of DnD, frankly. Pathfinder 1e and 2e are quite mechanically different, as many DnD editions are to each other.
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-squareCheeseNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·14 hours ago2e ended up a lot more aproachable, you can no longer accidentally create a completely useless character.
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoIt’s still a d20 system but it is quite a bit different.
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.
minus-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoI’ve just not had the excuse to look yet, my life is currently a bit too chaotic for a regular game, let alone one in another new system… I am working on an open game setting over at https://ttrpg.network/c/Canyonlands but don’t have anything like a plan for actually running a game.

Good luck, fellow worldbuilder!
