[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7784042, member: 6716779"] Still a game though. Men and Women tend to like different types of games. When we do online grand strategy games 30 odd players normally 0 women . Sometimes there might be one. They're welcome to play but micromanaging religion, economics,politics, armies, leaders etc is a very niche audience. You get some crossover in some genres like Minecraft which my niece plays. My wife likes Dragon Age andcSkyrim I like Fallout 4 which she won't play. She also likes Nintendo along with her sister. Another big problem for D&D is it's an American designed game. That means it's going to have a very limited appeal outside of the USA, UK and the Commonwealth countries. Before anyone gets upset Monopoly is an American game and something like Settlers is not. Let's face it it's a game where you go around and kill things. Even in 5E each class had a certain amount of built in combat ability. What defines the game is also going to limit it's appeal. Alot of newvDMs also don't really know how to run games outside of LMoP etc. It takes a while to figure out how to run different styles of games. I can add hoc a 0 combat adventure and make it fun such as my Great Magnimar Yacht Race. But I also got to use the AD&D traps, puzzles and B/X exploration adventures along with Kingmaker in Pathfinder. [/QUOTE]
