But a lot of that impression admittedly comes from a combination of seeing DND players on reddit have a mixed reception to it, seeing a lot of hype for other games from former DND players, the back and forth between Mearls and Winniger on here and some of the corporate action and people leaving the company. I feel like I don't see much with people going for a "focused experience" outside of the indie space that's been on that train for a long time now, I lowkey kind of see the opposite with more push for being able to take one set of mechanics and use it for a bunch of different things, and a lot of resistance to trying new systems without some promise that learning a new ruleset altogether will be infrequent.</blockquote>
