I always get nervous seeing TTRPG adaptations of stuff like Diablo or Dark Souls. Because for people who start the hobby in giant unwieldy trad games like D&D 5e, the first time they dip their toes outside to try something new will often be with a big IP game
But these big IP game often are THEMSELVES giant unwieldy trad games that are barely distinguishable from D&D! And so they don't go out adventuring into new games.
Hey mate, thanks for the mention. A pleasure to be included alongside such wonderful names.

Slight correction: as any speedrunner will tell you, you can *always* run away from the monsters in Souls games. Besides bosses.
Go see Magrit! He'll whip you right back into shape!! 🤣
