We played session 1 last night and I must be an idiot. For the life of me I could not find Nightstone on any map of the sword coast.

You are a week early (I hope).

So based on this being EN World, I am not surprised that 5E is the largest share. I am a little surprised that GURPS is so high, tho.

Just finished the first real session of my "teaching millenials" campaign (however long it lasts.) My personal trainer expressed interest in trying D&D along with 3 of his cousins. They range in age from 30 to almost 40 (I'm 50). Last week we did a session zero for them to create characters and...

If you are talking about "stuff happens in the setting" then you are probably right. If you are talking about "people writing about it" not even close. You could fill libraries with Tolkien scholarship and screeds, and twice as many with Harry Potter fanfic.

Sorry. Pet peeve of mine. But I agree insofar as things that ARE steampunk can be aethetpunk'd up in order to fit in Eberron.

Sure. EN World is in charge of The Great Purge. As it should be. But Morrus won't know. I am Untouchable.

I have never owned a Nintendo console. Does LoZ resemble D&D in any significant way? I thought they were action games, not RPGs.

Not quite. The poll is about which 5 TTRPG systems should survive The Great Purge, and individuals get 3 votes to inform that final list.

I hear what you are saying, I just fundamentally disagree. The less fluff in the core rules the better. See: Shadowdark.

NO

I don't think it is. I think the looser the fluff in the core book, the more freedom both designers and GMs have in creating worlds. Forcing them to strip stuff out first makes no sense.

Have you actually played or run it?

Fluff goes in the setting book, not the core book.

Something in the vein of Carnival Row with a little less Steampunk might hit the spot there. Oh for sure. I would love a weird fantasy setting.

Urban Fantasy as in the modern genre, not "medieval fantasy set in a city."

Fair. Still not what I was suggesting at all, tho.

Seems like the opposite of what I was asking for, but okay.

Isn't Lahnkmar just a typical medieval fantasy city?

One big hole they could fill in the lineup that I think would sell really well is something that really embraces Urban Fantasy. It doesn't have to be "modern" per se (although it could be) but a setting built on Hidden Fantasy and Secret Wars and the tension between magic and technology feels...
