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..

I like DnD more as a video game, in BG3. A while ago, I started exploring more narratively centered systems, like Fate, or even the new Cowboy Bebop TTRPG, for actual role playing.

Fate is my current game crush I want to play more, but I haven't had much opportunity. I got my D&D group to try it as a one-shot twice, and both times didn't really sing.

The Cowboy Bebop TTRPG seemed easier to setup, less involved character creation, and works nicely for one shots.

The rules are not very well written imo, not a lot of support for DMs, so I had to kind of lean on my past experience, and there wasn't really any guidance on how to use the clocks so one session was great, the other just slogged because I think I messed up the pacing since it was a lot fewer players.

Its also somewhat predicated on most people being familiar with the aesthetic of the show cowboy bebop.
