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.

Having played several systems I have no idea why anyone chooses d&d other than it seems like the default.

I'm in a d&d group and every time they're flipping through the books I want to shake them and show them literally anything else. Even just vibe up your own system on the spot.

    Im pretty sure that's the reason why. My group started on d&d because it's the default and so has a lot of resources available starting out for players and gms alike. We don't do d&d anymore and migrated to other systems after ending the campaign.
