@vinnymac @FundMECFSResearch @apple_enthusiast agreed mostly… #apple UI ( #iOS #macOS) is easy, their hardware just works, their multi-device compatibility is super convenient, and their in-house productivity suite (iWork) would be great but for the fact that when you’re collaborating with other people and businesses, especially in Europe, since it doesn’t save or import/export #ODF #opendocumentformat, you just can’t use it.

@reddig33 tried export tests and too much is “lost in translation”, not as much lost exporting to docx but still not a complete translation. Using LibreOffice and Collabora with ODF and collaborating with MSO users will have to do as there are no problems there. iWork sadly isn’t all that useful as long as it remains closed.

@Emberleaf @Uniquitous I’m looking at #CWN #CitiesWithoutNumber to do the same thing.

@Dee @AccoSpoot @rpg and if you want more solidly old-school then #TheSystem is an option

@Dee @AccoSpoot @rpg #SW is a good d&d adjacent option between new- and old-school. If you’re looking a more contemporary aesthetic then #Lucky13 is an option.

@plazman30 @Tim_Eagon @rpg I’m waiting for the Empyrean edition of Space 1889: After.
