it& #39;s kind of wild to me that people like...get mad...that other people enjoy playing d&d (as a system, not the general concept)

there& #39;s a weird snobbery about people playing d&d instead of other systems due to its recent mainstream appeal, i guess? i& #39;ve played a handful of systems that i really like and that are all really good for different things but i tend to go back to 5e

or get mad that people modify d&d in ways to facilitate certain kinds of play instead of just playing systems that out of the box are more suited to that. sometimes it& #39;s just more fun to push and customize a system you& #39;re familiar with for one game, you know

i get where it comes from, i guess, i just don& #39;t think it does anyone any good. it it doesn& #39;t make diehard d&d fans branch out into other systems and it does discourage people new to the hobby who got into it via d&d

anyway. d&d is fun. playing other systems is also fun. just stop being jerks to each other, was literally the only point of tweeting all of this. just be nice! we& #39;re playing pretend games! we can all play the ones we like!
