minus-squarepixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoPathfinder is very different mechanically to dnd. It’s like saying settlers of catan is a different copyright of carcassonne.
minus-square𝕱𝖎𝖗𝖊𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖈𝖍@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoPathfinder is closer to D&D than most other TTRPGs (not counting direct D&D derivatives)
minus-squarepixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·24 hours agoTrue, but anyone who thinks it’s a drag and drop replacement is in for a headache
minus-squaresmeg@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 day ago Pathfinder is very different mechanically to dnd Is it though?
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 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-up0·23 hours 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-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·22 hours agoIt’s still a d20 system but it is quite a bit different.
minus-squaresmeg@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 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-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·19 hours 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.
