Would you play a TTRPG that used Meters instead of Feet?

[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 9029195, member: 6799660"] Please note that relying on a volunteer-to-respond subset within the non-representative subgroup of gamers on this forum will have very limited use. Regardless, I am an American who grew up with the Imperial System, but learned the metric system in school (probably grade school for the majority, high school physics for the rest). I'm fairly comfortable going back and forth. Within a gaming context, I find that meters and yards are generally close enough that the difference between the two falls well within the imprecision existent within the GM-player communication anyways (e.g. the DM probably hadn't thought about the height of the castle walls rigorously enough to know if they were closer to 10 meters or 10 yards tall until you asked them, etc.). If we are talking about a brand new game, I can't think of a reason why one or the other units would matter to me. Generally agree with the above person who wouldn't want to convert something already built around 5' increments or the like to metric. Could you give us a brief synopsis of with which TTRPGs you are familiar? We might be able to point you towards a number of different examples and what measurement units they use. [/QUOTE]
