One thing that makes me kinda sad is seeing people who feel like TTRPGs just aren't for them because they bounced off of some element that is clearly just a symptom of them trying out D&D5e. Like people who have had a hard time with learning the rules would probably do well with any system where the rule formatting and play culture around learning them aren't a mess. One friend of mine didn't like waiting a long time for turns to come up in combat, not even knowing that many games don't even use a turn-based structure.

A lot of D&D5e defenders on here like to claim that asking someone to learn a new system is "gatekeeping" somehow, but I'd argue that acting like one game is emblematic of the entire medium to the exclusion of people who don't click with that one game is way more meaningfully a form of gatekeeping, even if it's fully unintentional.

I strongly believe that not all RPGs are gonna appeal to everyone, but there is an RPG out there for everyone, and I just hope that people who haven't clicked with the most common option to be introduced to can find something that works for them.

asking someone to learn a new system is "gatekeeping"

God forbid we require people to learn how to play the fucking system they're playing.

Not what OP is saying.

They’re saying “5e is not the only system and there are many other systems out there, don’t let 5e purists drive you off from TTRPGs entirely, try other systems and you’re bound to find one you like”.

Reading comprehension helps.

I was side-commenting on that particular statement, not the overall point of the post, as indicated by the indent quote.

And you’re still not getting it. If you understood the point of the post, why are you grumbling about one statement out of context?

Someone not liking 5e shouldn’t be gatekept out of TTRPGs entirely. 5e (or even D&D in totality) may be the most common but it isn’t the be-all-end-all of TTRPGs.

It’s fine if you prefer that system but don’t be a dick to people that don’t care for it.

“Piss on the poor” website indeed. Do you even know what you are angry about?

the closure of any public school is no failure of the citizenry, rather, it is at all levels a failure of government.

instead of pointing fingers at citizens for not producing more children to fill the halls, we must point them at the systems of governance that fail to fund those halls of education properly, or provide conditions in which prospective parents can feel great optimism having children in the first place.

#tumblr remains the piss on the poor website

discussion about right wing radicalisation focuses near-exclusively on men becoming white nationalists but i wonder how it might manifest elsewhere. like, imagine a heavily online subculture of mostly women and they're dedicated to rooting out degeneracy, maintaining a rigid social order, refusing to acknowledge scientific consensus, being violently paranoid of a dehumanised other, adhering to exclusively eurocentric standards of beauty and politically dedicated to exterminating a minority group (possibly one that was already historically targeted for genocide). that'd be fuckin crazy lol

I heavily recommend getting very good at spotting Meta glasses. Like I'm talking so good all you need is a glance. Otherwise, I would go about public life bearing in mind that more and more people are wearing expensive camera glasses that can record you without you realizing.

Ready or not, the smart glasses future is upon us.

With smart glasses, there are concerns around being recorded. Fortunately, you can watch for indicator lights and certain movements as a way

Here are some basic primers. If someone is wearing what look like Meta glasses, they usually have a small circular camera in the outer corners of the lenses, like the one on your phone.

I would also regularly check their own product pages so you're on top of what the models look like. They tend to have larger frames, but come in a variety of shapes and colors.

Shop every style. Every color. Prices from $299 to $499. Browse Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta AI glasses and sunglasses to find your pair.

A new hobbyist developed app warns if people nearby may be wearing smart glasses, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, which stalkers and harassers have repeatedly used to film people without their knowledge or consent. The app scans for smart glasses’ distinctive Bluetooth signatures and sends a push alert if it detects a potential pair of glasses in the local area.

The app comes as companies such as Meta continue to add AI-powered features to their glasses. Earlier this month The New York Times reported Meta was working on adding facial recognition to its smart glasses. “Name Tag,” as the feature is called, would let smart glasses wearers identify people and get information about them from Meta's AI assistant, the report said.

I'd walk through the fire to pull you out of the flame. I had to do at least one Act III piece because I cannot believe this is the end for this man. Just one more song...
