“People should play a #ttrpg more like a boardgame, playing a different one depending on the mood & players”-@Mr_Tarrasque
This really really resonates with me. What wonderful advice. Changing from systems to system only offers you more flexibility & suitability! What do you think?
@Role_Play_Chat As someone who's played at least one session of 67 different #TTRPG's since January 2020... I fully agree!
(Why, yes, I do keep a spreadsheet!)
@Role_Play_Chat In 2023 alone, I've played at least 1 session of...

@Role_Play_Chat In the RPG circles I kick with, playing lots of different games is the norm. I think it makes you a much better and more adaptable player.
One thing to keep in mind is that, with the exception of Pathfinder, all of these games are extremely easy to learn. They've all got about a tenth of the cognitive load that a game like D&D (or Pathfinder) demands. And that makes it easy to keep the rules for the game you're playing in your head.
@Role_Play_Chat I find this to be true for some players but not for others. Constantly switching rule sets can be a hurdle and finding a generic or universal system that can be used for several different likely games can be a godsend for a GM trying to recruit players to a new game concept.
It's not to say that there is only ever one system that will work for every game but that some players are so averse to changing that finding a compromise that works for several games may be necessary.
