Super Mario Adventures
I’ve been playing both Super Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing: New Horizons with my daughter recently, and they’ve given me TTRPG thoughts.

I’m sure this point has been made elsewhere, as there are more WOTC-takes out there than anyone can read, but I haven’t seen it made clearly and briefly, so here’s my WOTC take.
