Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest 7037866" data-source="post: 9640833">My pleasure! And my apologies if my response was blunt, but I hope you understand my reaction? When people post about moding 5E instead of playing another edition, they have their reasons. I've yet to see someone respond, "Huh? Wow, duh, your right, I'll just play 1E instead---I never thought of that!"Whatever their reasons, people want to mod 5E instead of playing another edition. I just accept that and often can guess why, so the type of response you made drives me a bit wonky.shrug I've seen it go both ways and in between. Someone offers to run the game, and either suggests the game/edition or asks what people are interested in playing. Some DMs offer a homebrew setting or will role with Forgotten Realms if that is what players already know and like.Cool! Funny you should mention Star Wars... we have an addition for our 5E mod that brings in about a dozen races from SW. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Oh, I have! Not often, true, but enough. I've bowed out of games when the DM said he was running 3E or another game entirely before. I've had players step out when I wanted to run B/X for a while instead of AD&D back in the day. Everyone has their preferences.Oh no! I am the DM 90% of the time now. Another forum member, [USER=6987520]@DND_Reborn[/USER], used to DM all the time, but he hasn't for a while now as he's working on his own collaborative game.Where I am there is barely a market at all. My regular group is myself and three players. Last night a fourth player joined us and if our games move to every-other-Saturday, he'll probably join full time. I have two others that are interested, but couldn't make it last night.Every once in a great while I hear about someone running a game, but it isn't that often.Oh, they'd probably try it. And after this current 5E campaign I am going to pitch an AD&D game, but when I've done them in the past players have found them an interesting novelty as a break from 5E, but nothing they want to commit to long-term.It is one reason why I am so hesitant to break far from 5E in my house-rules. It is what the players like for now, and I can tolerate 2014 rules well enough, so I just go with it.</blockquote>
