They are a false convenience.And it's not like they are lacking for tablespace.In my opinion; CR would be better served with a system more like Dungeon World, or maybe a custom OSR game that is in between the complexity of 5e and DW.But then they would not be able to say that they are playing D&D "The worlds most popular RPG"...Not really. The CR exposure certainly hasn't hurt, far from it. But D&D was riding a wider pop-culture upswing regardless.No. CR rode the D&D popularity wave just as hard as WOTC did.Yup and D&D got a ton of free advertising the past several years too:Regular mentions/appearances in:The Big Bang TheoryStranger ThingsEpisodes in:CommunityFreaks and GeeksThe IT CrowdAnd that's just the short list. Each of those shows having much further reach than CR.5e just had perfect timing that no one could predict. It was the right edition at the right time.</blockquote>
