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.

    Yeah no that sounds like a messy person being messy, at least in my circles “bleed” is more like when your character grieves and you feel a pang along with them, or when they’re moved by an event or angry at a character and you get the same physiologic responses, not throwing a tantrum at the players for their in game actions.

    Then again you did say they physically stopped the player so maybe they’re not the only person whose lines are a bit blurred.

      I communicated poorly! In-game they stopped the player character by saying their characters physically took the instruments away. We were playing remotely, so no one was physically interacting.

        I got it, it was just a funny slip in a conversation about mixing up player and character roles/feelings.
