[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9266358, member: 20564"] This is in the TTRPG forum so I will ignore the single pillar of D&D (combat) example since it's nigh meaningless to the question as such a hyperspecific example and address the full scope of the question. But this whole question is absolutely bizarre to me. Like how it could be asked. Absolutely TTRPGs need to modernize. As in, they have been doing it for decades and the state of the industry is a moving target. They always have and always will moderize. There's no possible question here. This doesn't mean every single RPG has to modernize - there's a lot of fun in older games too. Just that the TTRPG industry as a whole can not help but modernize unless you force it to become 100% stagnant. It just physically can't happen that people won't think and try new things, perhaps new opportunities that weren't there before or just thoughts that could have been there since the start. And of those new ideas, some percentage of them will be better. And of the ones better, some percentage of those will catch on and get used in later games. It's like asking will cars modernize. Or smartphones. There's no possible way they won't, so the question is either meaningless or entirely trivial. [/QUOTE]
