It just occurred to me that Pathfinder is to D&D what Linux is to Windows. More technically complex, less moral baggage, less mainstream and its fans won't shut up about it.

What a fitting anology! I'm going to start saying "I play Pathfinder BTW" at the end of every TTRPG comment now, I love it hahahahaha.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't check your comment history before posting that? I just assumed that a programmer who plays Pathfinder also uses Linux.

That could get old. But...

I play Pathfinder, by the way.

Do you happen to also use Arch?

Do you happen to also use Arch?

No. If I did, I would say so!

Haha.

(Apologies to my arch-user peers.)

"I play Pathfinder BTW"

Looks like a Vampire player thing, but may also worx for you :)

In our defense it's a pain to get people to try it.

Just like Linux.

And Wizards of the Coast (since bought by Hasbro) are like Microsoft, trying to control the platform as closely as possible, trying to define how people use their platform
