You are going to have some people in that demographic who started gaming in the 90s during the TSR era. I don't know, I would say having a fairly simply system that seems inspired by some of that basic D&D openness is pretty ideal for a moment when D&D does catch on fire. I get there can be other explanations. But I also think it is hard to dismiss that 5E wasn't a huge success and a large amount of that success is probably dependent on the system. I mean yes cultural moments matter for sure, but it is a combination of factors. Either way, whatever the truth is there, my point was just that I believe the designers were probably thinking more in terms of how to capture segments of the gaming community than in terms of advancing their own personal preferences and gaming biases.</blockquote>
