[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8253279, member: 6704184"] Okay? So what? Who said they were? I referenced them as an indicator of the fact that new players aren't starting out in a community that rejects homebrew and houserules, or that views the game as only correct if played RAW. What on earth could this possibly have to do with anything? Most people who stick to talking about RAW on these forums have said that they homebrew and change things at home, but stick to RAW in discussions because it simply makes sense to do so, because we aren't at eachother's tables. None of us know whether that is true or not, or rather to what degree it is true and untrue. What we do know is that they are vastly more popular than this forum, or any dnd related subreddit. What? Do you think that I'm saying that normal tables stream their games? What is rare? I'm on those reddits (there are several), and...yeah people homebrew and houserule quite a lot. I think you and I probably have very different definitions of words like "narrow". Exactly. I talk about dnd on here, reddit, twitter, and used to use tumblr as well before they nerfed nsfw blogs and I finally got tired of that format. In all of those places, I see people talking about homebrew, houserules, their OCs and homebrew worlds, etc. Much more than they talk about 3pp, although 3pp sells very well these days. I mean, look at the kickstarters for dnd 3pp, the sales on dmsguild, and the traffic in places like r/unearthedarcana (which is all about homebrew, not wotc's UA articles).
