Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9013008" data-attributes="member: 18">I don't really buy it.The vast majority of people who follow CR were either not tabletop RPG players when they started (in many cases still aren't), or were deeply lapsed tabletop players, who hadn't played 5E. The idea that CR's audience is primarily people strongly familiar with the rules of 5E is just not one at all supported by any interactions with the fan community.It seems like the sort of people who believe this aren't the sort of people who actually follow CR (or certainly didn't before the Amazon TV show).The same is true of an awful lot of D&D podcasts, as far as I can tell - the rules of 5E get in the way more than they help, because 5E is a very mannered and not terribly dramatic system that doesn't really jive well with stunts and cool moves and so on.</blockquote>
