Alright, I'll bite. Which parts of the philosophy do you disagree on? :D

Sheesh, I was trying to be vague so I wouldn't have to justify my opinion :D I dislike spell slots and level based progression. I also think d20-based is the most boring dice-system, aside maybe from the very basic d100 "roll below your skill" (which is kind-of the same thing, but GMs keep forgetting to adjust the difficulty of the role). That is very much subjective and I understand that most people don't mind. I appreciate the action economy, the very (VERY) well written rules - I am playing Shadowrun right now, and the editing and writing is atrocious - and I'd pick it over D&D any day.

I'm assuming there's a translation issue here. Those are mechanics that you don't enjoy, which, yeah, can be seen as disagreeing with the designers on their pholosophy of game design.

But Paizo has taken rather firm choices around inclusion which has casued some people to call out the company for being "woke", so saying you "disagree with their philosophy" might raise some eyebrows and have people searching for your red cap.

Goodness, no! I meant design philosophy. If I had political issues with it I would say so ...
