[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8446058, member: 42582"] And adding to that: analysing why 5e is popular is not very relevant to helping me enjoy and improve my RPGing. Eg inspired by a recent post of yours I started a thread on [URL="https://www.enworld.org/threads/conflict-in-rpging.683694/"]Conflict in RPGing[/URL]. In the OP is try to sketch what I see as some of the possibilities, including contrasts with other, narrative, media. If someone has experience from 5e play that is relevant to thinking about conflict in RPGing, then by all means post away. But the relevance of that experience doesn't depend in any way on 5e being popular. I'm not asking for advice on how to make a commercially sellable RPG. I'm looking for ideas about how to play and GM my RPGs in ways that will give me an enjoyable experience. When I was regularly buying and playing what WotC was selling - from around 2009 to around 2012 - I was regularly criticised for being a WotC "fan boy". Now that I don't buy and play what WotC is selling, I'm regularly criticised from being out of touch with what's popular and mainstream. So I don't worry too much about it! [/QUOTE]
