The French TTRPG scene is substantial and completely alien to English speaking circles. For all the talk of advancing the art and hobby, shockingly few of my peers know much of anything about JDRs. Or about The Dark Eye and German scene. Let alone anywhere else.

Flintlock. Why do all these nerds follow me? I'm not a nerd.@flintlock.bsky.social

Potentially hot TTRPG take. It's absolutely true we need more RPGs inspired by non European cultures. But we don't need less European RPGs, we need more of those as well. This is especially true of Eastern Europe (where there's few) but it's true of Western Europe. We don't have that currently.

Which to me is directly related. You can learn more about French Catholicism and cultural nuances from reading and playing the actual In Nomine than reading a dozen long form articles.

Not trying to be dismissive or disrespectful, but I'm so overwhelmed by the number of RPGs I'm already seeing. For those under recognized scenes to get the appropriate eyes is stressful to even imagine.

Same in return, from my POV so many niches well underserved. Even just counting my own tastes, not nearly the depth and breadth of games I want. Also mature media is absurdly high volume. Even picking most tiny subgenre fiction niches, one human *couldn't* read them all. We need so much more imo.

No debate to be clear, just my POV in return. I think we've such different expectations and subjective experiences of it that talking out to the middle is unlikely. But I think we can at least both see where the other is coming from. To be clear, I hear you how the overall volume is overwhelming.
