      Pathfinder’s compatibility is based on 3.5e, so DnD 3.5e homebrew stuff is likely to work with Pathfinder. 5e stuff probably will not.

      Old Windows games are more likely to run successfully on Linux than Windows.

      New Windows games supposedly run faster in modern Linux than modern Windows. I can’t verify it, lacking a modern Windows installation, but tomshardware.com said it was true.

          I would love to try Pathfinder 2e. I bought the core rulebook a while back during the OGL debacle.

          Unfortunately, my player group is quite bad at remembering their own abilities, which is just a complete no-go for an ability-heavy system like PF2e.

          I’m now trying out Savage Pathfinder instead.

            Most things in Pathfinder are more intuitive though, so it could be easier for them. D&D5e is full of contradictions and stipulations that you are forced to remember. P2e is, in comparison, fairly easy to remember how everything works. There may be more things to remember, but those things are simpler so it could end up being less in total.

      Yeah fair there’s loads of third party content for DnD. There is also for Pathfinder but not quite as much.

      That being said, I’ve found the core system gives you more customization so there is not a constant need for outside content to keep the system interesting.

    “-but you can apparently get a few toxic elitists” APPARENTLY?!? You guys must be in much better behaved circles on the internet than me to word it like that.

    Honestly, breaking away from D&D has been amazing. We’ve learned so many cool new systems and honestly, it’s been a lot of fun. There’s a lot of smaller systems out there that are amazing, don’t just try pf2e!

      Getting away from d20 systems after a long Pathfinder campaign with my group has been great. All kinds of systems out there making you roll d6s or d10s, spend hp to cast spells, and build characters collaboratively.

      Player in My Glitch game used a monkey paw to wish for Half Life 3 to be released. Now the whole world knows he’s the guy who made Half Life 3 suck

      I’m an active Linux user and I can say it is a few, they’re just so fucking annoying. They seem to respond to absolutely everything with a ten foot stick up their ass.

      The rest of us don’t care and don’t really talk about Linux unless you need help or are genuinely curious. Basically you almost never see a comment from the rest of us because most of us are probably introverts.

    lucky for me my experience with TTRPGs in general is very limited so starting with Pathfinder is no issue!!
