There should also be MORE PbtA games out there than there are. I hope that people learn about these games (and other games out there) and explore playing them with their friends.I think many PbtA games are pretty cool and would like to play them more.
I'd generally agree, though I'd also say I've gone from seeing PtbA as "one of the best systems ever" to merely "a good approach", over a decade of playing PtbA games.There should also be MORE PbtA games out there than there are.

Never heard of them—tell us more!I also really want to squeeze in more sessions. So when I have a free Saturday, I love helping out game designers on Magpie Games Discord - they have monthly playtests and community designers need playtesters - its not just PbtA either. I am always learning from these - often more so than full games as you really get into the nuts and bolts.
The most complex math in DnD is basic adding and subtraction, you make it sound like its particle physics or some thing. I was just thinking about how as the national math averages have gone down so has the virulent hatred for any kind of math or charts in ttrpgs has gone up. If players can’t do basic 3rd grade math there is a much larger issue going on than its not fun.D&D makes it into a core needed skill. I'm pointing out that this is a choice.
I have a degree in mathematics. I can do it. But precisely because I'm good at it I find gratuitously awkward and unnecessary number crunching to be both ugly and off-putting.The most complex math in DnD is basic adding and subtraction, you make it sound like its particle physics or some thing.
