What is the difference between D&D and Pathfinder?
While both games encourage their players to tell their own stories and create their own worlds, both D&D and Pathfinder publish a lot of books set within their own fantasy settings. While Dungeons and Dragons has some outlandish worlds like the post-apocalyptic Eberron, these are the exception rather than the rule.
What are the Pathfinder Adventure Paths?
The Pathfinder Adventure Paths are the “flagship” of the Pathfinder RPG. Indeed, the adventure paths were the first to bear the name “Pathfinder.” The first four adventure paths (24 volumes) were published before the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game was released, and were written with D&D 3.5 rules.

Playing a game of “3.PF,” using material from both rulesets, is quite possible and popular.
