[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5413447, member: 58416"] I think your point ties into mine from earlier. I think it would do the hobby some good for people to be more aware that other games are out there. In your case; if you were just starting, you might hit D&D, blow through it, and feel as though you enjoyed it, but wanted something else. But what else is there? Unknown to many among the masses, there is indeed plenty out there. Some of the games out there handle things in a manner much different from D&D. Without knowing that, you might leave the hobby. Worse, you might drudge through it spending years playing something which doesn't satisfy you the way you want satisfied. My point? D&D (from what I can tell) does what it is supposed to, and does it very well. Other games have things that they do well. As games of imagination, any of these systems *can* be modded to do other things, but -generally speaking- you tend to have a better experience if you use a game which highlights aspects of gaming which are more in line with what appeals to you.
