Article looks phoned in. There are hundreds of "Tired of Playing D&D?" articles like that one.

Agreed, I've seen many better blog posts.

They never mentioned My Favorite Games, so it is obviously garbage. :rolleyes:

(Before you ask, yes. I am snarking myself  and nobody else.)

I thought it was a decent enough article for those who aren't very familiar with RPGs, but I can see where a lot of folks here are so familiar with all of those games mentioned that it might not have seemed worthwhile. I wish the poster would have focused a little more on Amber. ;-)

Yes, that's my impression too. And it's pretty good at that.

Lot of hipster games that I have no interest in playing. I think it would have been more productive to offer a wider array of games that allow different things but reading the authors bio I'm not surprised

Eh I don't think it's all that hot theres A lot of stuff that could have been on there or at least given A passing mention. Off the top om my head 2 things come to mind.
Ryuutama : Natural Fantasy Roleplay
A game where A farmer A banker and A musction may be an actual party nuf said.

Tenra Bansho Zero: Heaven and Earth Edition
If you want something thats not dnd this is it though it may be A bit strange to play for the dnd set at times.
