There was a ttrpg activity every Wednesday in my city. In the 2 years I joined, I've discovered several different systems and universes. Some I loved and still keep today, some I really didn't like (Toons comes to mind).

I completely understand this person, but I'm the opposite sort of guy who plays ttrpgs other than DnD.
I'm only interested in games about going into dungeons, killing monsters, and taking their stuff, and my complaint with DnD 5e is that it's also not the best at those types of games either.

I envy the DMs that have time to learn a new system and the will to convince their players "who just really wanna try DND" that a different system is better
This is my current group, approached by bright-eyed first time D&D adventurers and I turned them all into haggard WFRP adventurers. d100 is a game changing argument btw
oh i fucking love WHRP
"what profession is your character"
"oh, they're an artisan. a skilled silversmith to be precise, what about you?"
"ah, i just rolled a peddlar"
i need more RPGs that feature classes that are just some guys with no/very few combat abilities
YES! You get it. It's also great that there is no downside or anything stopping you (aside from story) from starting as a peddlar, getting conscripted into the state army, working your way up to handgunner, defecting, and becoming a river pirate; bringing all of the associated skills from those expiriences along with you through the development of the character.
I am fortunate that I have a good balance of two combat wombats and two social primary-players in our campaign. Not having a wizard could bite them in the ass soon if they don't start treating my NPCs better though >.>
last campaign I played as an Agitator. I wasn't any good at combat. I was, however, really good at riling up NPC peasant mobs to go do my combat for me. I liked that campaign
I definitely prefer a d100 system

"But why roll 1 d20 when you could be rolling 20 d6?"

“Video games - you mean like Space Invaders?”

Okay, but also, all video games are multiplayer, so you can only play Stardew (or even just Oblivion) if you can convince your friends to play it with you. And the people I know will insist they don't have enough hard drive space for Pong, so I guess I'm stuck playing Skyrim.
Seems like D&D is easiest to get a group started on. I would like a Cyberpunk theme with brutal combat mechanics and an assumption of DM controls on things like the physical weapons scaling (availability restrictions more than price, ie you can set off a 200 d6 pile of c4 if you can get it) Unfortunately, aside from finding a good game, half the people I would play with only want fantasy.
