Why do you play games other than D&D?

I have trouble learning new systems. My disability makes it hard to do any math beyond the basics. But as long as I have a group the is compassionate and tolerant, I would rather play a game system for the experience of creating memories than spend more time passively engaging with my environment.

Thankfully there are plenty of games out there that rely on less math than D&D: roll under, high roll with dice pool, matching values, etc.

Nearly all of them, nowadays, really.

There are definitely a few outliers out there, but they're vastly outnumbered by all the other games. Once Powered by the Apocalypse and Forged in the Dark games came along, this really picked up steam, as two of the most popular platforms to build on are lightweight. And the OSR movement nowadays is now largely building off B/X D&D, which is similarly streamlined compared to 5E or AD&D derivatives.
