Message: <blockquote data-quote="Imaro" data-source="post: 8802402" data-attributes="member: 48965">Say what?? I must have imagined all of the games being streamed, the games being run at various conventions, the posters on this very site claiming they run games, the games on Roll20, etc.  Because clearly the game actively doesn't want anyone to play it (I guess the game is also sentient now... go figure).As for other games having a lower burden on the DM... I'm going to assume that just means it's offloaded elsewhere... I honestly wonder which is actually preferred and easier in order to get the most people playing a game... a single DM who takes on the majority of running/teaching the game or a game where every single player is required to learn the entire game and be invested in it from the beginning at the same level as a DM but with slightly less responsibilities.I don't see how WotC is hindering people's ability to find out about other rpg's... I think that WotC makes a good game that serves most people (who also probably approach rpg's in a much more casual fashion than most here) well enough that they don't feel any burning need to seek out other rpg's... in the same way most families have one or two, maybe three staple boardgames they play when they have leisure time but don't actively collect or buy multiple boardgames. Wait... what??  What other platforms offer the same functionality as D&D Beyond and when did it becomes WotC's obligation to actively promote other ttrpg's on anything they own?  That's not actively hindering the knowledge of other ttrpg's... It's like claiming Coke is hindering knowledge of Pepsi because it doesn't feature Pepsi in commercials??  Lol... The two things you cite here are not one and the same, though you might feel they are.  It can be both accessible and "dump" the most work on a single individual.  In fact I would argue it's easier to get one person invested in something and have them evangelize it to their friends & family, and perhaps run a game or two for them than to get the entire family invested in a game they have never played before in order to sample its gameplay...</blockquote>
