The BG3 to DnD pipeline (lemmy.world)

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..

It indirectly is making me want to leave my current DND group more. I love rpgs but DND specifically makes me grind my teeth. Bg3 is a great game but honestly it would be better with a different rule system. And the fact that DND is so popular that it sucks all the air out of the hobby just frustrates me.

But at the end of the day it's just a game, and if people are having fun they're having fun.

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.
