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.

    Tons of mechanical uniqueness. I can’t go into it here but at a very basic level with dice:

    • Mothership percentile roll under
    • Numenera d20 roll over
    • Blades in the Dark d6s with tiered success
    • Draw steel 2d10 tiered success
    • Slugblaster d6 pools, highest result
