D&D General Do You Use "D&D" As Code For "RPGs"?

[Smackpixi]

Even with my gaming group, it’s D&D or that “that other game like D&D” with goblins that die all the time or those monster investigators. We mostly play D&D or board games, so other RPGs are “games like D&D”, as opposed to board games. I guess we don’t play others enough to bother remembering their names.

Yes.

 

[Retros_x]

Yes. Easier to communicate to folks outside the hobby. They just get confused when I say "Shadowdark" or "TTRPG".

I don't tend to do that any more, though I'll sometimes do the "they're games like D&D" as an explainer. My wife does, though.
