imagine if skyrim was the most popular game of all time by an orderof magnitude and people caleld video games ‘skyrims’. and it cost ninety dollars and took up half the average computers hard drive. and then peoel would be on nexus being like ‘hi guys check out my farming sim skyrim mod’ and it just had you kiling draugr but on a farm. and people were like ‘yeah i think that you just cant do farm simulation in video games’ and if anyone brought up stardew valley theyd be like ‘okay well first of all its presumptuous to assume i can afford a second video game or have space for it on my hard drive. and Second of all when i play skyrim i just run back and forth around the towns picking up all the cabbages for seven hours on end so i don’t see why i’d need a whole game programmed to be about farming. i can play skyrim the way i want to. stop gatekeeping gaming.’ anyway thats what its like to like ttrpgs other than dungeons and dragons.

I've been actively trying to get a group together in person for some World of Darkness for at least 5 years.

    I have never managed to get a group to finish a WoD campaign. Most dont last more than a couple sessions. And i can't even get started on Legend of the Five Rings. Or Star Trek d6.

    Back in like 2016 I got a game of vampire going. I pitched it to two non-ttrpg friends as "what if you're vampires but the head vampire in the city is basically Donald Trump...". 100% player retention.

    Game ran for like two years. Lots of blood. We still talk about how the highlights.
