Pwech. I don't play D&D! I play Pathfinder...

Geeks are a race now?

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

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

We prefer the term "species" nowadays.

What? No, I haven't played since a few sessions decades ago! GURPS, on the other hand... Along with Ironsworn, maybe a little Savage Worlds...

Oh 100% I’m DMing Draw Steel tomorrow night

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.

How about if you like nerdy media but isn't naturally attracted to high paying tech fields

"Dungeons and Dragons OR D&D? What does D&D stand for if not Dungeons and Dragons?

Ironsworn is sick

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

From our session 0, character creation is really neat. Everything is very modular and flavorful.

I’ll try and remember to follow up after I’ve run a session

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

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

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

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.
