You and Ben Riggs need to get your data stories straight then. Because mathematically, 1.6 M vs. 3.5 M is pretty straightforward.

You really think that twitter image is going to be timeless? It was already dated before it was posted.

Those numbers were quoted here by Ben Riggs. By purest coincidence, there's a new Dungeon Craft video just posted yesterday that also refers to some of them.

More like modern D&D is a very niche, weird club while older D&D plays with timeless themes... admittedly with some 70s and 80s baggage in how exactly its presented. Even the mantra of "5e is the best-selling edition of D&D ever" isn't accurate at all; Basic (admittedly, I'm playing a little...

On the contrary; it's not nearly vague enough. As you say, there's a no politics rule. Why are you clearly posting a thread that's about politics? More to the point, why are there multiple threads that indulge in talking about politics with a tiny thin veil of "oh, but I didn't refer to anything...

1) I feel really depressed and unhappy about "recent events". 2) Don't talk about "recent events" in this thread. Too late! You already did. Seriously; why are there so many threads right now that are covert socio-political threads, that purport not to talk about them, but in reality that's...

Faerun is the Forgotten Realms. Everything added to it since was clearly added with the expectation to be used as a separate "sub" setting at best, or even just a separate setting altogether, or it was a poorly advised weird thing that was developed long after Forgotten Realms launched (Abeir).

That has absolutely nothing to do with repackaging old adventure modules.

That's a pretty good bet, then, that that's where Perkins et al meant for it to be then.

Sorry, I kept tinkering with that post and adding stuff to it. Lol.

Which has the corollary begged question; do the stats that we're presented with really give us a good indication of who the hobby is actually? We're constantly told that it's mostly younger Millennials (the kind that didn't used to be called Gen Y) and Gen Zers, or even younger, and showed a pie...

The only non-(TT)RPGs where I do any roleplaying are to a limited degree CRPGs and unusual stuff like Fiasco or murder mystery parties that are more like RPGs than they are like anything else... but which also aren't really RPGs either. I could ... maybe ... be prevailed upon to do some minor...

But they're not nearly old enough to be in the market for remakes and reboots of stuff that came out in the 70s or first half of the 80s, which is most of what WotC's content has been. There could be various explanations for that, but none of them are immediately obvious. Or rather, they may be...

Oh, do I have opinions. I like steak medium well. Butterfly cut, so it's more likely to be cooked and not have a cool middle. I often like it with A-1, although I honestly like it better with sauteed mushrooms and drawn garlic butter on top. While I don't have any problem with people who like...

Looks like I'll be running this again as a vaguely Halloween season one-shot. Thought I'd bump my own old thread so I can find it again easily; I'll need to re-read this a couple of times before running so I can see what kind of stuff I added to bulk out the original to get a good 3-4 hours...
