That was the entire point. I also wasn't saying you were saying anything bad about them. I'm saying that I see a lot of hate and toxicity out there in the 3PP fandom that is pushing people away. I don't follow ToV because of how they handled their early playtest messaging. The Paizo crowd lost me too. Now many others don't care for D&D for their own reasons, like certain Hasbro/Wizards business decisions, and the persistent editing and QA snafus, and that's all valid too.But the D&D designers are doing a great job being positive and winning people over. They are communicating well about their playtest and getting decent scores. They are getting engagement from famous people who bring other fans in. I think that other games would need to be able to do those same positive things that D&D is doing to get more of that market share. And I don't see anyone accomplishing that yet. The larger TTRPG community just isn't biting enough to challenge D&D. I know it can anger folks that no matter how much Hasbro/Wizards keeps tripping over themselves, that they are still doing well. We'll see how 2024 goes. shrug</blockquote>
