Straight to the good stuff on the rear derailleur I see :)
By Lando's own driving, he agrees with you!
Also don't rush it. True for most similar tasks. You can always take a break and maybe you should!
And charging >$100 for it. To each their own...
I've had success with this in exactly this situation
Call of Cthulhu has the best general system which is the most intuitive and easy to run that I have tried. All your skills are percentages so it takes people no time at all to learn the basics and rolls are fast. So the rules get out of the way of the story.
Delta Green is an extension of this and one of my favourites to run. The main rules change is that when your character suffers stress, you can choose to defer the points hit to your characters friends and family (Bonds, in game parlance). These degrading relationships can then play out as roleplay later as your character begins to lose their grip.
I remember finally building a new PC that was halfway decent and wanting to play some quake 3 mods. So this would have been around 2005??
Broadband was here so I wanted to take advantage of that sweet low ping but needed a physical copy of the game for the mods to work.
Even then it was hard to source a game disc but I got it and had a few years of fun playing urban terror... I can't really be bothered with online shooters now but back then it was simple, quick and fun. There's too much going on in things like Apex and Overwatch for me.
Also my PC basically has a console setup in the living room and I play with a switch controller, so I'd get destroyed anyway!
Can someone unpick this for me yes yes no style?
You already got so much feedback but I'll chuck one in for the Logitech MX anywhere. Its smaller than the master version but has USBC charging which is important for me, so I only need one cable to charge everything, I make a point to try and get USBC products (keyboard, action cam, bike lights, headphones etc)

It probably means something like mothership as well, where the character sheet is designed such that it guides you on how to fill it without the need for a separate book.
But really I'm not sure I agree much with the article. I could be wrong but it seems to me that the audience is growing and therefore what the audience want is becoming more diverse.
My own very biased experience is I that I started playing dungeons and dragons, literally having no clue about this gigantic iceberg of other stuff with a 50+ year history behind it. Did that for a few years, through the pandemic etc.
Fast forward a bit, the idea of playing Combat rpgs now (so pathfinder, 5.5, whatever) interests me almost not at all. I want to tell stories and try out new personalities. I've now played a ton of Call of Cthulhu (which I'd argue is extremely rules light if you want it to be), Delta Green, Mork Borg, Vaesen and would have played dozens more if I had a more local group to play with.
Would love to play some Blades though... Weirdly a bit like Delta Green, you'd think it would be great for easier to organise one shots but actually you need a short campaign to get the most of it, I would say
I might be on the minority on all that, I don't know!
