Just trying to create some discussion around here (rip my rif app).
It can be funny, badass, emotional or whatever. Anything goes.
Love the general non-DND RPG epiphany moment, I definitely relate to that. I asked the DND question just cause of this particular mag but I 100% agree with that sentiment. My first non-DND rpg was Call of Cthulhu, and similarly we had the same feeling of “no spells? guess I gotta figure out something else creative…”.
I think that dabbling in other ttrpg’s has actually improved our DND games. Bringing in new flavours and ways of thinking that don’t occur until opening your mind to other systems.
I still love DND but it’s certainly an eye-opener to mix it up once in a while.
