Well, the GM for starters, but like I said it's generally not worth fighting over.

Well, the Force is in all living things, M-count or not.

If they really exist in the setting, sure. Can you give me an example?

Like I said, not different enough to be worth the money to me, or different in the wrong ways.

Like who?

I allow luck and inspiration mechanics (by which I mean mechanics explicitly designed to represent those things, not mechanics where they might be considered a factor) because my players want them and it's not worth the fight. I don't particularly care for them personally.

So just a few weeks of time in-setting then, at best? If "story milestones" are your chosen method of advancement.

Should all future games continually focus only on the most popular options?

Not wanting to spend another $150 for books which aren't different enough from the 5.0 core (certainly not different in the ways I would want) is a big part of my reason.

I expect there's some kind of record out there, but all we can do is make the best guess based on whatever evidence is available. Tossing everything to the wind because we can't be sure doesn't work for me.

Haven't you hit 20th level in modern D&D after weeks of game time in the wild? Certainly after months.

It was a wonderful time to live through in D&D's history, that will never come again. Good thing most if it is still available to those who missed it!

I still have my copy of Clan War.

Yeah, they're like sorcery points or spell slots conceptually.

No doubt, but that's where I stand.

It's your poll, but I don't think everything non-WotC should be a single choice. They're just not that important IMO. I would say either break out the D&D alternatives as separate choices, or just go with official D&D and be explicit that only those games apply to the poll/thread.

I play PH only 5.0 with my kids, and A5e with mods with my friends. I also play DCC and/or Shadowdark when my friends who like those games can get together. I'm also fond of several games that most closely emulate B/X or BECMI of the official versions, but haven't been able to get a group...

What does this mean?

That's what I was trying to say in the first place. Glad we agree to disagree. Perhaps, but "accountant game" is still an insulting term, regardless of the specific mechanics to which it is being referred.

Luck and inspiration definitely fall into that category them in most cases.
