[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 9663425, member: 7026617"] This gets complicated. First off, I'm really not interested in D&D proper or any of its really close kin; that doesn't mean someone couldn't sell me on playing in a game of it, but the persistent irritant of one mechanical element I strongly dislike would bother me, and there's not much to [I]attract[/I] me there. And I can't think of the circumstance where I'd run it (and I'm primarily a GM). That said, there are a couple cousin systems (PF2e, 13th Age and Shadow of the Weird Wizard) that I find have some virtues, and I can be sold on those easier. But I do prefer other non-D&D-sphere games. I'd probably prefer a board less D&D-centric, but of the three I've tried, I'm no longer welcome on one, and the tone of the other two put me off. I at least find enough discussion of gaming in general, or avowedly D&D discussion that really applies generally, to keep my interest, and of course there's the side discussion of other geek interests.
