Great observation. I'm coming to think of D&D as the Monopoly of RPGs (in at least two senses). It's time the RPG world pivoted, as did the boardgame world post Catan.
Thanks, Tim! In the sense of monopoly, I definitely agree that D&D has this ever present status that creates lopsided structures in people's imaginations. So many ttrpg players can't imagine an RPG world without classes and races, like many board game players can't imagine beyond Monopoly or Catan. Cheers!
