I started off with DND 5E and still enjoy it, but I started playing Pathfinder 2E a few months ago and just adore it. I think it's a better system overall and would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys TTRPGs. It's complicated, probably more so than DND, but it's worth it imo. The three-action economy, four degrees of success, and sheer amount of character customization are my favorite features.

I've played a pretty broad variety of characters. Mechanically, my favorite was my first ever character--a draconic sorcerer. I like blowing stuff up, what can I say. Roleplay-wise, it's a tie between my swashbuckler rogue and my celestial warlock. All of those were in DND, since I haven't been playing PF for very long. I've liked every character I've played, but I tend to enjoy characters with high CHA the most.

Right now, I'm playing a DND campaign and two PF campaigns. My characters are a grave domain cleric, a barbarian with the titan wrestler archetype, and a champion with the sorcerer archetype.

I've also played a little Dungeon World and a tiny one-shot called (iirc) The Witch Is Dead. One of my DMs is getting into Daggerheart, so I may be picking up a game in that system soon. I think I may play a rogue.

Tell me about your TTRPG experiences!

I run one-shot games at conventions, mostly FATE and Dread. At the conventions I tend to join a lot of Mork Bork and Numenera games, although I've never GM'd them.

I also play in longer D&D campaigns with friends, but we've played other campaigns in Firefly (Cortex) and Star Trek Adventures.

FATE is my favorite for the flexibility. People tend to focus on making the story good as opposed to trying to work against the restraints of their character. Unfortunately most people in my friend group are Pathfinder/D&D focused, so we tend to go that direction.

Meanwhile I probably run No Thank You, Evil! the most lately, just because my household has become overrun with kids.

I recently received Triangle Agency, so I'm excited to try that.
