D&D General Mike Mearls' blog post about RPG generations

I enjoy discourse with you a lot magic sword when it’s specifics you are one of the best on PF2 for example. Though it’s not really a starter to declare larger patterns with a simple “Reddit says”. I’m not picking on you either it’s my entire premise of why I think Metals blog is just off.

Yeah, I really value your input whenever I see it too. My contention in general is more about when we're collectively allowed to make an observation about and where the burden of proof for 'well reddit/enworld/etc is just different' arises.

Its not an invalid point, but at some point you have to decide there's some standard to go on assessing trends. Otherwise you're pretty much stuck with "nobody knows anything".

What is a "wave" according to you? I'm not clear what you would classify as a wave.

A wave IMO is a playstyle, culture, or genre of RPG which either dominated the TTRPG discussion, popularized mechanics, lore, or ideology that other RPGs draw from, or set/fathered a trend of new RPGs.
