People whose main exposure to #TTRPG discourse comes from D&D 5E/5.5E Reddit takes are always so fun to watch because like… who hurt you? GMing for a table of newbies in Draw Steel, and one of them has some D&D experience from before. He seems SO worried about metagaming. Everything he does is 1/X

All of the discussion around the Paizo layoffs and Pathfinder 2E’s future has made me realize something interesting. The physical play community is probably MUCH bigger than the online one, if simply not selling books you had expected to sell has such a huge impact. Doubly supported by the fact 1/X
