If someone was interested in understanding as much as possible what the world of TTRPGs and story games had to offer, which 5 games would you suggest they play first, and why?

Ideally this would include a broad array of mechanics, themes and settings.

    I don’t keep up on every single system, but I’d go: Call of Cthulhu/Delta Green D&D 5e Savage Worlds MORK BORG Kids on Bikes

    I think that’s a good spread.

      This might be a bit more readable as bullet points…

      Any comment on why these examples in particular?
