One of the first things I realized about RPGs when my brother and I had a few of them was how clear the impact of system was. Same group, same GM, different system, different behaviour - especially after a few sessions of the system reinforcing/discouraging approaches which might be natural in another system.Then we got on the internet and back then, in like 1993, half the people talking about RPGs were absolutely lunatic hardliners that system does not, in fact, matter.They slowly died out before a revival in the 2000s with the d20 era, which had a ton of people trying to claim system didn't matter so you should be using d20 for everything (good grief). Then it died out again, before making another comeback more recently, where 5E hyperfans (including those who deny being such) are just repeating the rhetoric of the early 2000s.</blockquote>
