How many people do you know who got interested in the game because of BG3? I imagine I’m not the only one.
I’ve always had a passing interest in it but my only friend who plays lives 8 hours away. I did a one shot campaign while visiting him years ago but I was totally overwhelmed. Now that I’ve played BG3 I’m thinking about finding a local game shop to meet some players…
Yeah, when the new Final Fantasy XIV TTRPG was announced, despite the OGL controversy that happened earlier this year the only TTRPG mentioned by name in the titles of news articles about it is Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). You would think it would cause a major shift in other properties being mentioned. Nope, it still seems it will be like the Mario Kart or Pokémon of TTRPGs, where people seemly instantly try to compare TTRPGs to D&D and mention the latter by name, but not anything else in the field, as if there were only two of that genre at a time or something.
