Hedrigall posted:Mosquitos are an important food source for many feathered, furred and finned friends According to Nature, if every mosquito species died tomorrow there'd be no real impact ecosystem-wide. They don't really make for a huge part of major insectivore diets, bats have mosquitos as like 1 or 2 percent of their food.

Why would I eat food on the beach like a peasant when I could simply retreat to my beachside mansion to enjoy whatever my chef has prepared before heading back to the waves again after lunch

The thing is the way people treat D&D is like if people played Skyrim first and then refused to play any other video games but Skyrim, you show them Metroid or Crusader Kings or Minesweeper and they're all 'But I already know how to play Skyrim, let's just mod Skyrim'. Or the people who refuse to eat anything but chicken nuggets and/or fries

There is an immense difference in effort and commitment required between playing a single player game on your pc/console and getting an RPG/wargame campaign together with other people. People like the things they like, and if they can conveniently enjoy that thing they will. It's unfortunate if you want to play something else, but it's not a flaw of other people or the game.

The punch line is more that D&D is actually on the more complicated side for RPGs and nearly everything else is at worst the same difficulty or easier to learn and run, but people basically imprint on it and assume everything else is too weird and hard It's more like when you want to go out to dinner literally anywhere but your friends shoot down everything except going to McDonald's and getting chicken nuggets

My eyes glaze over when I see a D&D character sheet more complex than whatever non-martials get like at 10th level. With Pathfinder that complexity threshold lowers to about level 6? My only exposure to Pathfinder is actually via Kingmaker but if that's what the tabletop game is like then I'm out. I touched Shadowrun once and will never do so again. Cyberpunk RED just squeaks over the line of what I consider too complex to bother with. I actually really like Lancer and Fragged Empire a lot but those are all in on being hex- and grid-based tactics games first and foremost so I can parse stats and abilities by what they mean on a defined battle map. Their math is also less fiddly, I find the numbers a lot easier to wrangle than D&D's. They make up for it by being complex (and in Fragged's case, obtuse), in other ways.

Pathfinder is 3.5e for people who didn’t think there was enough minmaxing to begin with. That’s fine for those folks but 200% too far for me. My friends all just play 5e and that’s cool but I wish they’d pick up a copy of Traveller or FATE or Spirit of the Century or something one day.

At least Battletech is upfront that the entire game is a single battle and half your evening will be spent rolling on location tables and effect charts. ...assuming you are both already fluent in the rules. If not, add another two hours of calculating modifiers and arguing about line of sight.
