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 play PF2e primarily, though I'm not quite satisfied with it. I want more fantasy sandbox rather than fantasy combat sim, so it doesn't quite satisfy what I want on a purely mechanical level. But I do love my heavily armored magicians... shame what happened to the battle oracle in the remaster.

Right now I'm playing an imperial sorcerer with the Wood Kineticist archetype, and I just hit level 4 where I ascend to "Ikeamancer," summoning trees and woodshaping them into cheap edifices and furniture. In two more levels, I'll get the ability to make wood armor to wear that is usable without proficiency, and a regenerating shield. And one more level after that, I'll have a funky little flying platform to rain spells down from above from. Good fun.

As for the character himself, he's a total bastard (in both senses of the word) who has defected to another country and just absolutely cannot get over how people are being nice to him for some reason. He now feels bad about his family's harm inflicted on these same people, and the prejudice he displayed during his meeting with them.
