D&D General Would You Play High Level (12-15);Wiith Pre Generated Characters? Mostly 5.0/5.5 but theoretically any edition.

[Zardnaar]

I've run high-level (17th) D&D (PF1e) in the past. The PCs were literally superheroes. Like I could convert them over to Mutants & Masterminds and have a mini Justice League. And some players just love that kind of power-fantasy and there's nothing wrong with it.

It's just weird to me that people use D&D for that when a superhero ttrpg or Exalted or Godbound would do it better. I'd love to understand the thought process but I get that everything isn't meant to be understood.

Those games generally only exist in theory.
Superheroes outside MCU are also very American imho.

Good luck finding players espicially if you're not American.

It's pretty simple logic really. DnD is the best TTRPG gaming system because it has by far the most players, and then because the system itself is decent enough. After some tailoring by the DM, DnD works pretty well (but definitely not perfectly) for just about any campaign type you could ever want to play.

Those other games you mentioned don't work at all, mainly for the reason that I've never heard of them and would never in a million years be able to find a group to play them. "Decent system + able to find players" is going to beat "perfect system but no players" every time

I've never heard of anyone playing those games in America. This has nothing to do with country of origin, your only shot at ever finding people to play obscure TTRPGs with would be online, which everyone can access
