How close is Pathfinder to that?

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Pathfinder 2e Remaster (which isn't out yet) is the most "open source D&D" thing there will be any time soon.

And Pathfinder 2e (non-Remaster) is the clostest thing there is right now.

The remaster is out!

[–] Paradachshund 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What's the remaster do to it? I'm sure it's a lot, but does anyone have the cliff notes?

[–] flumph@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Small improvements and cosmetic changes appear throughout, but outside of a few minor changes in terminology, the changes are not anywhere substantive enough to be considered a new edition.

Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project!

Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure the remaster was about removing anything licensed under OGL so they could license it under ORC.

[–] Kata1yst@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Yes, also allowed for a very nice balance and QoL pass on a few classes.

Ah got it! Thank you.

I think Tales of the Valiant is closer to D&D 5e and also licensed under ORC. Either is a great option for people looking to leave D&D though.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

vOwOxel didn't ask anything about 5e. Just about "DND".

[–] flumph@programming.dev 13 points 10 months ago

Pathfinder 1e had a good license and would be very familiar to D&D 3e players. Pathfinder 2e has a great license but would have a bit of a relearning curve for D&D 5e players.

Tales of the Valiant is probably the closest to 5e with a great license.
