    My favorite TTRPG is the homebrew system I made myself!

    But besides that I’ve played D&D 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 5.5, Pathfinder 1 and 2, CoC, GURPS, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Traveler, Star Wars 5e, and Mini Six. I’m familiar with a lot of others through podcasts, like Paranoia, Toon, VtM, Fate Core, Fiasco, and Over The Edge.

    I chuckled at a lot of this, but have qualms with a fair few others. Some don’t say anything about the player at all, entirely dodging the premise of the meme. For example, Pathfinder “their game is just D&D without commitment” says nothing about the player, it’s just a direct critique of the game. Starfinder “just pathfinder in space” also does not comment on the player at all. GURPS sounding like a disease has nothing to do with the player. There’s examples like this in most of the games.

      As another GURPS fan - do people really get into the settings? I always saw them more as cool worked examples. I guess Traveller took off

    Just to note, “indie company” and “2nd biggest game on the market” aren’t mutually exclusive. This isn’t a big market, and most of it is D&D.

      Ya, they are an order of magnitude smaller than D&D but also an order of magnitude larger than the #3

        Agreed. But they’re still indie. This whole genre is a niche.

        TTRPG systems may be well-known and famous to us nerds, so it’s easy to forget that the average person has probably only heard of D&D and a few WoDs. And Pathfinder, of course.

      Not to be confused with “theater kid (extremely derogatory)” for Vampire The Masquerade.
