Pathfinder Roleplaying Game

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is a fantasy roleplaying game based on the d20 System. Billed as the successor to D&D v3.5 edition, it was created by Paizo Publishing in the wake of the termination of their license to publish official Dungeons & Dragons content for Wizards of the Coast. Pathfinder retained many of 3rd edition's players who did not follow D&D in the transition to the 4th or 5th editions of the game, and at times has even surpassed D&D's market share.

Virtually all Pathfinder content is available to redistribute under the Open Game License, in contrast with 3e D&D, which only released a limited amount of Open Game Content, the bulk of which was included in the 3e System Reference Document. The core rulebooks are indexed into the Pathfinder Reference Document for ease of use.
