I hardly know where to start with this so let’s go with an insight from the 1970s.Some people play a game they call D&D, which involves things published by WotC and possibly a few others, plus their own contributions. Other people play a game they call D&D, which is some mix of current stuff from WotC, previous editions, dozens or hundreds of pages of house rules, supplements from various other publishers, and other roleplaying games altogether, left to simmer for five or ten or thirty years. I can’t guess how wide that fringe is now, but it’s there and it’s substantial. Nor do I think it’s smart to be very confident in a 5e decline. Setting aside the anniversary issue, they had some kinda weak releases, but then the giants book is excellent. Extrapolating friends out of no longer current data is a bad idea. It could be all downhill from here, the giants book a flicker of the of Mandate of Heaven before all the lights go out and Hell reigns. But it could also be a harbinger of some good creative years ahead. I dunno, and Riggs isn’t convincing me.he does, either.</blockquote>
