Hey want to become a player everyone wants to play with? Maybe try out a few Solo RPGs?
Sounds counter productive but solo RPGs help you build skills that can make you the player people want at their table.

Ok #ttrpg question for business nerds.
Why won't / wouldn't WotC invest into other TTRPGs / systems?
In that they keep their flagship product of course, but grow in more directions with other properties in other systems?
What's stopping them?
