[QUOTE="HatWearingFool, post: 9815002, member: 54658"] Seeing the numbers for how many games die out so quickly I’m surprised WOTC and other companies don’t focus more on tools to make running games easier. I saw before that was what Mearls wanted to do and he left WOTC because of it. I mean it seems like an obvious place to focus efforts. The only reason not to would be if you can’t think of anything to produce to make games easier to run/help out new GMs. Or I suppose if you know people drop out so quickly just because they try it and TTRPGs aren’t for them. Anyways I find running games to be difficult (even after… oh god… ~40 years?!?) and am always on the lookout for better tools, methods, and info on how to improve. So I’d like to see more focus in this area. On a related note I’m just starting to use Nimble and I think it’s exactly what wizards should have done for a new edition (except hit point bloat and resting, that was kept for compatibility reasons). D&D is just a lot for new players and DM’s, although 2024 core books are the best (IMHO) version for people to pick up so far. [/QUOTE]
