Great "how did we get here" RPG rundown. Definitely gonna be sending this to people who know what D&D is but aren't sure about wider medium.
My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

What is the game you played in 2025 that made you really go “wow, that’s what game writing can accomplish!”
I spent a lot of this year in a tabletop fugue, and a lot of the video games I did play just didn’t work for me. So here, in the time of holiday sales, I ask for your recommendations.
