    I think for me the issue is I would rather play Kingdom Death Monster if I want that goal. I am not sure rp based ttrpgs fill that niche well.

      I’ve never heard of KDM. But if your point is that there are better systems than DnD out there you’ll find no argument from me.

        More that KDM does the job for dealing with the idea of “stuff goes wrong”. The games mechanics are built around it. Gear is important, characters are not. Which means stuff can go really bad very fast.

        I think DnD does heroic fantasy really well.
