DazharionGood point
kyonshiSo You mean… Shadowrun
(Except its of course Stuffer Shack, and they might actually have some drones in the back)
I don’t get why people keep insisting on putting the D&D label on everything, even when it doesn’t apply at all. There’s so many other games out there
It’s a hypothetical scenario likening a ridiculous situation in the real world to player shenanigans in a fantasy game. Jacob is a d&d focused content creator, and d&d centered memes and skits are a huge part of his schtick and what his community is based around. He has videos encouraging people to check out other similar systems and how cool their different mechanics are, as well. He wasn’t saying to put drones and US dollar bills into your medieval fantasy game, lmao

southsamuraiI mean, it is the alpha. D&d is the root of ttrpg. Didn’t have to be, there were other things that could have been. And it wasn’t the true first stage of that became ttrpg; it was built on other things.
But you gotta be realistic and admit that d&d as a “thing” is the single best known, most successful system out there. It is what it is.
It is the first commercial succes I would say.
Also DnD as a thing is the best known in the US. Check Das Schwarze Auge in Germany, or Cthulhu in Japan.
Finally, could we agree that even if we aren’t perfect and can improve… and agree quickly that “yeah, the DnD bit should have been TTRPG or <insert a nice game that people could be curious about>”? The person describes a Food Fight in a Stuffer Shack - a Shadowrun classi - and I have to argue that TTRPG would be a better fit than DnD?
