Solo TTRPG: D&D 5e vs Pathfinder 2e – Which one works better?
Hi everyone,
I could really use some advice because I’m feeling pretty undecided.
I’ve always wanted to get into D&D, but right now I don’t have a lot of free time. Because of that, I’m planning to play solo using Mythic 2e as my GM emulator.
Recently, I picked up the D&D 5e Essential Kit on Fantasy Grounds and the Pathfinder 2e Beginner Box. I’ve been playing both to see which one fits me better (and honestly, VTTs are amazing for solo play).
So far, I’ve enjoyed both campaigns, and I haven’t had any issues controlling a party of four characters at once. However, I’m aware these are beginner-friendly adventures, so I’m not sure if things would change with more complex campaigns like Abomination Vaults for PF2e or Dungeon of the Mad Mage for 5e.
That’s where my doubts come in.
Do you think it’s actually feasible to play D&D 5e or Pathfinder 2e solo long-term? Would you stick with one of them, avoid both, or look for other alternatives?
For context, I’ve already tried some dedicated solo systems like Ker Nethalas, Riftbreaker 2, and d100 Dungeon, among others.
Thanks a lot in advance!
