For a game called "Dungeons & Dragons" there is a shocking lack of both dungeons and dragons (piefed.social)

I've played a lot of D&D over the years. Hundreds of hours.

But these so-called "dungeons"? No captives. Not even any cells. That's not a dungeon. that's a glorified cave.

And don't even get me started on the dragons. Dragonborn? Sure, I've seen plenty. Heard my fair share of Draconic. And wyverns are fairly common I suppose but that's like pointing at all the dogs in the world and saying "we're infested with wolves!"

I'm beginning to feel like I've been lied to all this time.

As someone who has played alot of Call of Cthulhu there is a distinct lack of Cthulhu. But I am presently playing Traveler and let me tell you something - there is A LOT of traveling.

It's called "Call of Cthulhu", not "Sighting of Cthulhu", forehead

DM: "The phone rings."

Player: "I pick it up."

Cthulhu: "Wasaaaaaaaaaaaaap!"

Player: *Cries blood*

Cthulhu: "Wasaaaaaaaaaaaaap!"

Definitely one of the Great Old Ones.

Awh, didn't know they were missing Cthulhu that much!

For a game called "GURPS" it certainly is a Generic Universal Role Playing System

Best part of Traveller is character creation.

Not always the best, but often a lot of fun

Did anyone die in character creation?

No but I always end up in super-debt
