[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 9863019, member: 4881"] Holy crap!! There are other RPGs besides Dungeons and Dragons? I have never once encountered such a thing in the 40 years I've been into the hobby. Can you suggest a few? /s Funny thing though....what I DO see is that like it or not, D&D is the "speaks common" of role-playing as a hobby. I have 6 players at my table and 4 of them are there specifically because they "Want to learn how to play D&D". They want to learn to speak common so they can go off and teach that to their friends. I WISH that it was equally likely I could find a group that wanted to play WEG Star Wars or TORG instead of D&D....but it very clearly isn't going to happen.
