Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jaeger" data-source="post: 9376621" data-attributes="member: 27996">They would have to get very "mentally creative" with their own demographic reporting to come to that conclusion.It would be completely inexplicable:[ATTACH=full]367668[/ATTACH]Because 75% of D&D players are 18+ adults. (Note that they are not even bothering to count anyone over 45 years old...)Which should be a no-brainer given their own reported demographics...One would think.Yet in my opinion; they seem to be continually 'sanitizing' the product for a much younger crowd. Especially in recent years.Truth.  A lot of the 2e settings enjoy a cult status following. But as Wotc has recently demonstrated with its planescape and spelljammer re-boots, that following does not necessarily translate to popularity with a wider audience.In fact they have demonstrated an ability to take an otherwise once quite popular setting like Dragonlance, and still make it fall flat...The question is can Wotc deliver those settings without giving them the "5e treatment"?i.e. Can they release a setting without altering it to incorporate everything from the three core books?I personally think that they are currently incapable of that.In my opinion; this will attitude not change until D&D has experienced a complete turnover in the personnel currently in charge of the IP.</blockquote>
