[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9439592, member: 7006"] I don't believe that is what [USER=7045806]@DinoInDisguise[/USER] is saying at all. They don't care if any [I]individual person[/I] supports D&D 5E or does not... but rather that they think everyone should [I]want[/I] D&D 5E to succeed and grow (even if it's [I]other people[/I] who are making it succeed and grow) because that will make the total player base of RPGs grow bigger and bigger and bigger... thus allowing people like yourself (who eschew D&D 5E) to bring some of those new people into the games you want to play. What's a better and more effective membership push? Go into the great big world out there and try to convince people who don't play RPGs [I]at all[/I] to join you specifically at your 'Advanced 5E - Level Up' table... or merely go to the giant pool of D&D 5E players and convince some of of them to join you at Level Up? Which way would produce more success and increase the growth of A5E-LU? I mean if Morrus [I]wants[/I] to try and use A5E as the "gateway" into roleplaying games and spend his time advertising to people outside of the RPG world to go straight to his game and bypass D&D 5E altogether... he's welcome to do so. But I suspect that it might be a smidge easier to go to the primary source-- the D&D player pool. Probably a better use of his time and money, because he can let [I]WotC [/I]throw their money away being the ones trying to pull in people from the outside world into becoming roleplaying gamers. Because once THEY grow the player pool... Morrus can then siphon some of those players off and into A5E. No one should want the pool of roleplaying gamers to ever shrink because that just makes things worse for everyone. And quite frankly, will hurt the smaller publishers more than it will hurt Wizards of the Coast. [/QUOTE]
