I've got multiple friends who call any and all fantasy adjacent roleplaying as DnD. They're playing World of Dungeons, Cypher System, Dungeon World? They call it all "D&D," because for a lot of people that's the Kleenex term for the entire hobby.Obviously not for people who are on a gaming forum, but this is a place for inside baseball. I don't think a single person I actually play with know who Mike Mearls or Chris Perkins are. For these friends, they were confused when I first mentioned things that I did or didn't like about "5E." Because again, all roleplaying to them is just "D&D."</blockquote>
