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.
Yeah, you can make anything from classic knights, to mystery cultists, to fucking magical girls natively in 1e. You don't need a billion dollars of 3rd party supplements to make whatever you want, it's just there in Pathfinder.
Hilariously, getting better for both of them. Pathfinder has a lot of third party developers already, and gained some after the big D&D debacle when Wizards tried to update the OGL and kill third-party. Linux is still slow going, especially on the gaming side, but a number of FOSS companies and Valve have done a lot of work to legitimize Linux as a personal computing platform.
Pathfinder 1e has a tonne of high-quality third-party content. Not sure about 2e.
"-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.
IME, you don't get any more toxic elitists in Linux communities than in any other.
The internet just kinda sucks.
You could also just go to prior versions of D&D. Unless they plan on sending agents to physically take my 2.0 and 3.5 books away, I own that shit.
Yeah if you have it go for it, better than letting those old books gather dust!
What I like about Pathfinder is that it's all free, so new players don't need to buy books at all before they can join.
7: If you mess up one tiny thing, you’re going to end up wiping and spending the rest of the night rerolling it to start fresh.
Or you just ROLL with it! (Nudge,Nudge)
Get it! Get it!
Maybe I need to explain it, jokes become funnier when you explain them!
