Four non-D&D games that show the breadth of TTRPGs

[Cadence]

This popped up on BlueSky this week...

and has got a bunch of answers from that site's denizens. Some of the answers reshared by Shannon Appelcline included:

I don't think I have four that far from D&D and each other that I played more than two sessions. If you had to pick four what would you go with?

I've had great fun with my own Nazi-Killing Bear Simulator (currently OOP), as well as Call of Cthulhu, Night's Dark Agents, and Cthulhu Deep Green.

Of those, NKBS is the furthest removed from D&D. You play as Spetsnaz soldiers whose brains have been uploaded via super science into Russian brown bears, which are then air dropped into enemy territory with one mission: UNALIVE NAZIS. There might also be some Frankenstein's monsters and cyborgs involved. I sold the rights to another publisher. I hope it comes back into circulation soon-ish!
