Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one’s ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I’ve never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don’t know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can’t you get people into and why should we check it out?

    Mage: The Ascension - I’m super happy that TTRPGs are having a renaissance but there are so many systems out there and D&D isn’t anywhere near the best. You can imagine this like the board game revolution and how “Catan is like so amazing” when actually it’s a rather mechanically underwhelming and repetitive game.

    D&D is a role-playing game with almost no support for social actions, it’s bizarre.

      It takes an especially skilled GM to run M:tA. They need to be able to handle things getting very weird very fast. But it’s what makes the game and stories so great. Toon was like that too.
