[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9281436, member: 6879661"] I think there needs to be a bit of reality check about other game systems and their accessibility being the reason they aren’t played rather than because they are drowned out by D&D. 5e has perfected the art of introducing/recruiting new players. [LIST] [*]Starter sets [*]Pre-written adventures that guide new DMs/players to the game. [*]streaming videos that give real play demonstrations of the game (I watched Dice Camera Action before running CoS as my first 5e campaign and it was a godsend) [*]Regular forum discussion to engage with and ask questions. [*]Good VTT support. [/LIST] Funnily enough the other game I now run (WFRP 4e) also has all of these things. Maybe consider that the alternative game systems that just throw out a single rule book and maybe a cursory adventure are failing to provide the kind of introduction that a modern audience expects and requires.
