controversial opinion about popular Tabletop RPG
Thinking again about how much I dislike D&D
Not because it's a bad game, but because I think a lot of people who would othwerwise absolutely love Story Games are introduced to D&D first, and are put off by the fact that it gets in the way of telling stories more than it helps
recommendations for other tabletop Story Games
My first suggestion is to try out other games in general! D&D is really complex which makes it seem like it would be a lot of effort to learn another one, but that's often not the case.
Dungeon World is a good choice — it's D&D, but it's more flexible and less complex.
If you want something different, here are some favourites of mine:
* Apocalypse World
* FATE
* Fiasco
* Hillfolk
* Hobospy
* Lady Blackbird
* Microscope

@lizardsquid a
Fair enough, I do feel I want more story and less mechanics focus sometimes then d&d provides.
I feel with table top stuff there’s a lot that needs to be thought abt introducing someone rather than ‘just play d&d’
For example, paranoia was a heck of a lot of fun to play and much more story based (if very silly and surreal)

@Doggo yeah, paranoia is great!

@lizardsquid I think my problem with DnD so far has just been the seemingly glacial pace, and apparently we were going quick for by DnD standards...
