[QUOTE="Rhianni32, post: 7849624, member: 68272"] Is 5ed the way people want to play (as in they have tried multiple rulesets and have decided 5ed is their preferred game) or is it that via marketing efforts and Critical Role, 5ed is the first and only ruleset for many if not a majority of 5ed players these days and they just haven't felt a need to go try something else. 5ed is the Budweiser of rulesets. it doesn't really offend the taste buds, its made for mass market appeal, for many its the first exposure one gets, and it gets the job done. But if you are looking for something specific in then it doesn't fully satisfy. Whereas a craft beer will have a narrow fanbase but really can nail successfully what it is trying to do. That was one of their stated goals in writing 5ed, to stop the edition wars and appeal to everyone. The only way they could, and did, do that is to have it rules light and you fill in what you want where you want. If Paizo wanted to make a 5ed clone they would have. Why didn't they? Probably for the same reason your local town microbrewery doesn't make a rice based American pale lager. PF1 didn't come out until 4ed. Its not like Paizo ever went head to head with WotC. So likewise I would not expect them to make a 5ed clone and try to compete. What I am clueless on is why you keep talking over and over and over again like Pazio is stupid and didn't see the success of 5ed or like they live in a bubble and are oblivious to their industry.
