Ah, I guess this is why I prefer other ttrpgs.

Did not know that I was from the Caucasian race AND te Geek race!

Stop, stop, you’ve already proven their point

Some acronyms have many definitions, like CBT.

I think the text is cut from a longer form document. The author may have been declaring the abbreviation for use in the rest of the text.

To be fair, it wasn’t a programmer that got me into D&D… he worked for the QA department.

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.

Well depends on the programming language they use. D&D uses classes and that’s a big no no for some.

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.

The or in this context refers to also known as. Like when you say what the fuck or WTF for short.

not true at all! I play Magic, not D&D

and pathfinder is way more open (AoN), just like linux

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

I guess I’m not a real nerd after all

Well, it said “geeks” not “nerds” so you’re fine.

If I need to what?!?

Never touched Dungeon and Dragons’ stuff. And I am a dev.

I don’t want to point again the impression that some DnD players seem to think that DnD is the only way to play ttrpg… but well… it’s tempting, doesn’t it?

I’d want to try out D&&D but I can’t seem to find any group nearby

Not everybody at my company that knows how to program also plays dnd. Just everybody who is good at it.
