oh yeah absolutely it is the only ttrpg that's /mostly/ cruft

[looking up from my Rolemaster sourcebook] i am pretty sure my perspective represents the median

ah, as in, just to be clear, being familiar with one or the other of those aspects can make it easier to pick up the part of tabletop that is UNfamiliar, like any kind of foundation really eases the learning curve

I actually think about that second point a lot! I came into tabletop already very familiar with roleplay, and I think having that familiarity, either with the mechanics side through other games, OR through roleplay via improv or whatever else, does a lot to bridge that gap when someone is new

I would personally prefer to start someone completely new with like, some one page rpg's or something stripped down to something even simpler than the basics, I just think it's really wild that a lot of people begin with (and then, being real, fall off of) some of the more complex ttrpg's out there
