I mean, come on, man! You're talking about groups that barely touch the dice in a session - if that's the case, how actually relevant are dice-based combat mechanics for a game like that?

Really useful for when you want something excessively simple that everyone is basically going to be familiar with for the times when you do need to pick up the dice? I mean, usually it's safe to assume that if someone has done any tabletop gaming they've played some D&D.

Unless they're a filthy Rifts player lol.

Yeah, sorry, I realized I worded that specific sentence weirdly. The issue isn't the dice, the issue is that D&D's combat mechanics are generally pretty involved and complex, more than is necessary for a game that's not focused on hack n' slash. They're not actually excessively simple.

I stand by my point that I think there are games that are just as easy to actually pick up and play, that provide much better support for all the other things that aren't hack and slash.

[herpymcderp]

That might be true, but I'll still argue that D&D (at least some versions of it- 2nd ed in particular) are more or less suited to basically whatever one wants to make of it.

Feel free to like and use what you want to use, but you can easily finagle it to do what you want it to do regardless of play style. I think that really can't be said for some other systems (e.g. most things White Wolf related).

I kind of feel like - philosophically - the idea of trying to be good at everything leads to weaker games. I don't think a game can actually be everything to all people, and I think it's generally better to have games that focus in on trying to be really good at specific things. Maybe I'm underestimating the cost of switching rulesets, I don't know.

but yeah fair enough obviously
