I decided if I knew so much about games, I made one.
You couldn't ask for better feeling feedback.
I've been making games since I was little. If you're interested in something that will make your players say something like this, you should just go read Sinless on https://sinlessrpg.com.

My parents collected games.
There were walls of board games in my house. I was an early reader, but being able to read, doesn't necessarily mean understanding. I had a friend in college who talked about misunderstanding 'save versus poison'. Do you take the poison and keep it for later?
There were so many games in my house, but for the first half-decade I was just looking at the pieces and the cards and played my own games. Then, when I was older, I got to play the games as they actually were meant to be played.
Stop Thief!
You moved around the board, the device would tell you if you heard footsteps, an alarm or broken glass.
This is. . . extremely similar to dungeon play, even more so then the contemporary board game Dungeon! and HeroQuest.
Dungeon did have a bit of active monster behavior, they would 'take over' their
This-I mean, a megadungeon zone or floor is a board. It is the dungeon game. You can move 6"12" inches (spaces) on your turn, and the unseen monsters move, and every monster roll added another to the board. (engagement distance is 3"-18" away, and most dungeon rooms are somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-8" big).
In an operation, you infiltrate hiding from the defensive forces, until they become alert and engage with you. The main game-the operation.
Thunder Road!
There are-I mean you roll your dice to move. Do you move? do you focus on
It was this model we developed our travel (overland) game. It is a staple, and frankly shameful that modern/crime/sci-fi games don't model car chases. It is critical to the genera.
It is the section where you travel-via caravan, underground, from place to place, while under threat. It is this game that gives distance and weight to choices. It is what keeps it from being a static labyrinth. Here is not there.
Chaos Overlords
Finally, the city adventure. In D&D the city adventure is just a place to rest, recuperate, train, and shop.
Take some guesses what you can do during a sector turn in Sinless.
But unlike just having downtime activities, there are various resources players can own and control.
Early D&D was no different, it in fact suggested you use a board for a completely different game for wilderness survival!

Table Top RPG's are always three games.
When I was a youth, there was an early Nintendo Entertainment System game, called Bayou Billy. The Nintendo at this time was only available with Robbie the Robot, who used centrifugal discs to play a pillar puzzle game with you. Robbie isn't important. He was not a complicated Robot.
The innovation that Bayou Billy had was *Three* games. You see you had a driving game where you drove somewhere in the swamp while you killed homeless swamp people on bikes tried to kill you, and then, sometimes, you would stop your car after beating up bike people, and walk into the swamp, and beat up the swamp people who had houses.
Don't feel too bad, the swamp people had trusty alligators and dogs and eagles. Finally, there were two sections that contained a first person style shooting gallery.
Dungeons & Dragons is dead, long live Dungeons & Dragons. In spite of running a toy company, corporate malfeasance and the lust for gold have killed the official game of D&D. Do not fear, for this is not the first time the dragon has fallen from his throne.
We all grew up hearing the tale of the golden goose, but they've always got to kill it themselves. We literally have a saying that's almost too old to source about how this turns out. Every time.
It isn't the dragon that's important anyway. I hear the replacement this time is a combination of Shadows, Daggers, Hearts, and Darkness.
Dungeons and Dragons is three games.
You know what they are! I'm not going to say them!
They are called out in most of the versions in print, and each has separate and distinct procedures of play
This is important to the contextualization of the play experience.
Sorry. You see, what you do in one layer, affects another layer, and this gives meaning to the similar play loop beyond the moment.
You are making progress. You are pushing back the fog of war. You are uncovering the doom of civilization in your pursuit of power.
Three games.

More character examples. We have uplifted animals and Synths!
There are a selection of pre-gens in Sinless. These are archtypes and one of the strengths of a priority base character creation is that higher level characters remain distinct.
In a system where you increase your abilities by spending points, all characters trend over time to being more similar. This will be familiar to anyone who plays Gurps. By selecting certain priorities, you define a set of unique boundaries for your character.
I'll just, well, look:
