Pwech. I don't play D&D!

I play Pathfinder...

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 49 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do you happen to also use Arch?

[–] EnsignWashout@startrek.website 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago

Just like Linux.

[–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

and pathfinder is way more open (AoN), 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

I can feel the blank stare that this correction would elicit in the vast majority of people. To normies it’s like saying you eat fruit rounds instead of fruit loops.

[–] Diurnambu1e@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you understand why it is corrected you are a geek.

Oh 100% I’m DMing Draw Steel tomorrow night

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I haven't heard terribly many people talk about draw steel, honestly. I'd be interested to hear what you think about it after trying it out.

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

From our session 0, character creation is really neat. Everything is very modular and flavorful. I went in with a few choices for systems depending on how people wanted to approach the campaign and we chose Draw Steel because the group is made up of people who enjoy crunchy combat. I’ll try and remember to follow up after I’ve run a session

Hell yeah sibling, id also be interested in hearing how that goes. I've been wanting to run DS since it came out but you know how long campaigns go
