There is a lot more to TTRPGs besides D&D.

I play lighter and more narratively focused games where the focus is collaboratively creating worlds and stories.

Lasers and Feelings has been the biggest hit around my table but I also have a reoccuring game of Dungeon World every other week.

In just ten to fifteen minutes I can throw any random group of friends into a scenario that feels like a tv show.

For sure. We started with Cyberpunk RED actually, but we went to D&D simply because of how much prewritten stuff was out there. We've done a few small jaunts into other systems (mostly PTBA ones) in the meantime too. I've also been meaning to play Ironsworn solo (one day...).

Luckily for me, my favorite part of RPGs so far has been "meaningful stuff can happen anywhere and the gears of this world turn no matter where we put the camera (if a tree falls in the woods & no one is there to hear it, it still absolutely makes a sound)" which feels system agnostic.
