[QUOTE="Distracted DM, post: 9286438, member: 6894926"] I like D&D's popularity, if not its dominance, because it brings folks into the TTRPG hobby. They may or may not try other games, and they may or may not like them. I [I]don't[/I] like DnDBeyond's dominance with D&D though- and this is a big factor in D&D's dominance. It's far from the sole factor, but it's a big help 😅 I'm fortunate that the vast majority of my players have largely detached themselves from DnDB since I made the switch to A5E, but I know some of them itch to go back to the ease of its character creator+manager. It's so good that it's a crutch, many of my newer players didn't know how the game+characters mechanical foundation worked until they had to make their characters without it! And then the frequent attitude of "I'm interested in this content, is it on DnDB? Oh no? That sucks, I would've liked to try it." I get it, but man it's ... it's rough. [/QUOTE]
