The Coamere RPG also does this, in a framework more similar to 5E than PF2E has.

Yeah, but it probably isn't moving away from the attrition design, either.

And maybe get simplt shouldn't. D&D is the Dungeon crawl smash and grab game: would it make sense by any metric to change it's D&D-bess just because the Cosmere RPG us rocking an excellent Encounter-centric design? Does Checkers beedlueces that move differently just because chess is great?

But if the majority are still playing below the guidelines and having fun...what is WotC motive to change anything? If they change the attrition based maximum, they will alienate the Dungeoncrawl fans, and ghe "playing well below the threshold but still happy fans" will be, at best, indifferent...

But is it an issue for WotC...? They didn't intend for people to play on easy mode, but if a fairly significant percentage is happy doing so, there might nit be anything to mitigate as far as theybare concerned. True that.

How sizable is ot...? WotC would know, we do not. I mean, isn't yhat what WotC has done...? They are continuing to publish Adventures with fully stocked Dingeons, as recently as a couple months ago Dragon Felves has full Adventure Day design...so they continue to support whatever percentage of...

And a tighter design might disrupt that whole spectrum.

HBO proper? No, not really much use for that, not when I could be watching "Is It Cake?" with laughing children. But Warner Bros. back catalog has a lot of cool material, and there is DC to consider particularly now thst itnis getting good again. But, 2 services plus Prime essentially for free...

Well, this exactly: I don't think WotC views it as a problem if people play D&D and have fun even if encounters are easy and the Classes aren't pushed by DMs equally. Customers having fun are satisfied customers.

Is Prime a better streamer than Max? No, probavly not. Is Prime TV a fantastic add-on to my shipping savings subscription that alreadybpasy for itself? Absolutely. I don't need 3 streaming services, Netflix and Disney+ suffice. But Prime is essentially free (and Peacock is for Comcast...

Netflix has a large library, growing and changing constantly. They have K-Pop Demon Hunters and "Is It Cake?" (a show of tremendous genius, by the way), so they have my kids figured out.

It would stand to reason: it drops in FLGS 2 weeks from tomorrow, time to start seeing the hard sell.

Fair point.

Sure...but is it that necessarily enough to be a problem WotC feels they need to solve on the product level? They can't please everyone, and if most people playing on easy mode are having fun and buying...well...

But the question is...is there really a problem for most tables, or for WotC...?
