[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8196864, member: 6778210"] This is true, though at the same time I wonder if games are limited by being anything that [I]isn't[/I] D&D. I looked up the newest Chaosium CoC rulebook (given that CoC is generally #2 on the Roll20 charts, though it's obviously not a perfect comparison given the wide breadth of rules available for the setting) and it does have occasional spikes into the PF2 range, but it also goes into those high ranges where the difference of a few books each day gives drastic spikes. FFG Star Wars has all its problems with Asmodee's restructuring killing any momentum that game could have had, along with FFG's atrocious supply problems... but it's probably the only setting I could think of outside of CoC that has the pop culture cache to actually bust out like D&D. It's even worse, given that [I]The Mandalorian [/I]came out right when RPG book production had wound down to a near halt. This is one of those things where a broad market research study of how different genres usually perform would be pretty cool to have. I do find it utterly hilarious that the games you hated (and I assume you got to early) are games I came to late (or came back to, with 4E) and found I really enjoyed. Not a shot at you, but I just find it kind of humorous how different our trajectories seem to be. :) [/QUOTE]
