    No Rifts? Not that it was ever popular, nor was it easy to get into and play, and the rules were a bit convoluted, and the balance was all over the place, but at least it was

    Loves the settings more than the game

    My dude, the G stands for Generic. It works for literally any setting, it’s optimized for homebrew settings. I’ve never touched the “canon” settings.

    I like Delta Green, CoC, Trail of Cthulhu, Cthulhu Dark, Trophy Dark, Kult, etc. because I want terrible, fucked up, traumatic things to happen to my character. I want them to go insane or die, and to suffer the entire time it’s happening.

    Or sometimes I want to play Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast. 🤷

    Not sure what the clichés about Fate are. I think it’s a fun light system.

    Also there are dozens of us who prefer vampire: the requiem over masquerade. Dozens! I recently started a game of it. So far they killed 3 CEOs and blew up a data center (in the game).

    It’s been fun seeing the DND player adapt to “wait I can just do my cool thing as much as I want?”. Like he was going to punch a dude and I was like “are you sure you don’t want to just Mesmerize him? It’s free and more likely to work, given your stats”

    Warhammer 40k Wrath and Glory, anyone?

    • Theatre kid (probably derogatory)
    • Owns an actual WH40k army, or at least the dice for one
    • “Of course there’s another WH40k TTRPG!”
    • Would definitely give their soul to Slaanesh

    I chuckled at a lot of this, but have qualms with a fair few others. Some don’t say anything about the player at all, entirely dodging the premise of the meme. For example, Pathfinder “their game is just D&D without commitment” says nothing about the player, it’s just a direct critique of the game. Starfinder “just pathfinder in space” also does not comment on the player at all. GURPS sounding like a disease has nothing to do with the player. There’s examples like this in most of the games.
