    Depends on which edition of DnD, frankly. Pathfinder 1e and 2e are quite mechanically different, as many DnD editions are to each other.

      I 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…

        It’s still a d20 system but it is quite a bit different.

          I 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.

          I’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.

        2e ended up a lot more aproachable, you can no longer accidentally create a completely useless character.
