Just a reminder that this is live!

For most people, TTRPGs are primarily structures to hang out rather than rules-based games.

This is one of the reasons people are so hesitant to switch systems - the system is already fulfilling their need to socialize and learning new rules is seen as a hurdle to overcome.
