(It sort of has a retro clone, Dark Dungeons...).But while the old school community is remarkably vibrant, I'm not sure how big it is, outside of 3x fans with Pathfinder. And frankly, I don't think Pathfinder fans will move on, simply because Paizo puts out far, far, far better products than WOTC does. Both in terms of quality and maturity level.Again, it's basically like cable dramas (Sopranos, The Shield, Deadwood, etc) vs the air network dramas (CSI, CSI, CSI, NCIS).Beyond that, at least for the old school stuff, the people at WOTC seem to treat it like zoo exhibits or visiting a strange land, acting very patronizing and talking really loud (at least, that's the vibe some of the 5e articles give off to me).They would need to hire people that love that stuff, and don't view it as some sort of curiosity.</blockquote>
