Part 2/9:
JD Vance, known for his political opinions that resonate with conservative values, has drawn the ire of certain factions within the tabletop gaming sphere. A notable comment from Jason Buman, the head of Paizo and a designer for Pathfinder, insinuated that Vance was akin to a "fascist" and suggested he return any Pathfinder materials if he had participated in the game's community. This sentiment illuminated a broader issue of perceived gatekeeping in the TTRPG space — a problem that many argue should not exist given the relatively small size of the community.
