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.

That could get old. But...

I play Pathfinder, by the way.

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.

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
