Message: <blockquote data-quote="Campbell" data-source="post: 8276604" data-attributes="member: 16586">[USER=6704184]@doctorbadwolf[/USER]When you position D&D in contrast to bespoke games as if it was not one that's elevating it. The narrow or focused indie game myth is harmful because it implies that they are more specialized versions of the sort of play you see in the adventure gaming space. When you play into it with that bespoke language you are reinforcing the idea that a typical D&D contains everything a typical Burning Wheel game contains. It provides the impression the D&D (well 5e) is especially flexible.If you are in fact making that argument (that 5e is especially flexible) you should really make it and we can hash some stuff out. If you are not intending to make that argument we should probably frame things pretty differently.I'm trying not to be indignant here, but the focused game thing is a really a big deal to me. It feels dismissive of the unique value other games bring to the table.</blockquote>
