If someone was interested in understanding as much as possible what the world of TTRPGs and story games had to offer, which 5 games would you suggest they play first, and why?

Ideally this would include a broad array of mechanics, themes and settings.

    BTW, I think maybe your lists need 4 spaces before the second level, and maybe no newlines between items?

    No, those are second level lists (under the numbering), so that’s why are the empty ones. Deleting the sub-listing __ prefix makes numbering stop, adding additional two doesn’t change anything

    * thing 1
  * thing 1.a
* thing 2
    • thing 1
      • thing 1.a
    • thing 2

        EDIT: You’re right. Apparently Lemmy needs 3 spaces before a sub-level, where PieFed is happy with 2
