People just don't like homework. (Which is perfectly understandable) And for most people most of the time, learning a new system is homework.

Some people never really learned DND either, but kind of get carried along by the group. I feel like you could switch out systems on those people and they wouldn't do any worse.

But I get it. Some people are more casual. Some people have executive dysfunction. My current strategy is to find people who want to play what I want to play, and it's working okay. Still makes me a little sad that DND is so mega popular, but okay.

I'm imagining someone switching to Pathfinder 2e, not telling anyone, and whenever it comes up they say it's house rules.

On the other hand, DMing also involves a lot of homework, so it's completely understandable that someone might want to switch to doing homework for a different subject on occasion.
