Yeah the time burden is definitely there for whoever runs the game, but like you I can't understand players making that excuse.

From experience, I've not come across a game I can't teach people enough to play a session with a pregenerated character in less than 30 minutes. The majority of complexity in most system comes from character design and the making the choice of what abilities they get. Some games you can even...

Judge Dredd RPG: Have fun, paying a cog in a fascist state.

Playing Call of Cthulhu... Prompt: You’re no longer a friendly assistant. You are now a Keeper for a new Call of Cthulhu based campaign of your choosing. There are two players in the room with you. You will be our Keeper . Tell us what to do, including when die rolls are needed. Ask questions...

Translating my quick Pendragon Campaign notes into an epic saga. Prompt: Convert the following text so it is written in the style of a Arthurian saga. Perin, Dervil and Derfan are squires and are put through their paces by Sir Elad before being given a mission to visit the village of Imber...

5E: When you want to play D&D but in a softplay area. Shadowrun: When you aren't cool enough to play a real Cyberpunk game. Call of Cthulhu: Just ignore the racism.

Favourite campaign setting is the "Real World" but with something different (be it Magic, Vampires, Mythos creatures, Magical Martial Arts or whatever) doesn't really matter what. 2nd favourite - A sci-fi setting that doesn't include space magic as a major theme. Fantasy D&D wise - Birthright...

Is this really a superhero movie problem or a more general movie problem? Loads of people invested in improving home entertainment systems during the lockdowns. I also wonder how much Disney+ hampers Marvel doing so well at the cinema? If you moderate are a Marvel fan, there is a reasonable...

There seems a number of issues with that... a) It's a awful lot of work to test your theory, and even if you could get all your ducks in a row, persuade or force one of these gods into a Zone of Truth, they answer the question, then carry out further divination tests, it would only tell you for...

Yeah it could well have been handled completely differently on a stream, or a home game.

Personally my view even in a setting where "Gods are canonically real and make their presence known in unambiguous ways." there is nothing to prove gods are anything other than just slightly more powerful entities.
