why would you undermine socialist organizers in paizo by using wizards of the coast, the corporate devil of the tabletop world?

    Yea it was based on 3.5 originally, I think the concern is less (rpg) systems based and more that Wotc is a shitty corporation and Paizo is smaller. I don’t know if paizo has any socialists in it, never heard that before, but they were ahead of the curve on at least attempting to tone down some of the more racist shit in the games

      No question of that. I recall Paizo even in its early days when Pathfinder was a tiny pamphlet was already ahead of the curve compared to WotC just in daring to draw black characters. I don't know what it's like today, or if it's even unionized, but not being as bad as a Hasbro subsidiary is a low but necessary bar.

      Paizo's union is led by socialists and a handful of trans people
