[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9449258, member: 7006"] The thing I find amusing though with people who say 5E and D&D are different is that the only reason all these companies are making games using the 5E engine is because they know people actually want to play D&D. And thus they are trying to horn in on the D&D audience by making "D&D but slightly different ". All of these companies (including everyone who uses the 5.1 SRD) know that their money is made by following the trail that D&D blazes. And if D&D 5E drops off and fails... they are going to be right behind. Because as soon as the huge morass of D&D 5E game players are gone, all the 5E hangers-on are going to no longer be part of the gaming zeitgeist and their games will fall off the cliff as well. It is a hard thing to swallow, knowing their livelihood is tied to WotC's success... but that's what happens when you tie your game to the D&D wagon. You live and die by how they do. [/QUOTE]
