[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8910545, member: 86653"] That speaks to one of the things I've been saying for a little while now, 5E is a big tent holding in several distinct factions together. Once the tent starts to collapse, the people inside are scattering. They're not going to all shift en masse to one other system. As you say, PF2E is too crunchy for a lot of 5E folks. So they'll go elsewhere. If Kobold's Black Flag is compatible with 5E (and it looks like it will be), then some of the people who know about Kobold and like their stuff will go there. If MCDM's game is good and people like the funky dice, then some people who are aware of it will go there. Repeat that for all the various publishers. The one exception, I think...well two...would be if Critical Role publishes their own RPG then a heap of people will jump on that. Talk about free advertising. They put out a half-way decent RPG and they're immediately the 3rd or 4th largest RPG publisher considering their millions of loyal fans. The other exception would be if the folks behind ORC do the unthinkable and put out one system and everyone starts supporting it like they did with 5E. It's far more likely CR will take up the slack than the whole of the 5E ecosystem simply pivots to one new system. Or both. CR publishes and the whole 5E ecosystem goes with them. [/QUOTE]
