[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8692679, member: 7026617"] Well, you're absolutely going to get a thing where a place where a particular game system or family of game systems is the primary focus where some percentage of the vocal populace is going to think of its approach as a law of nature for various reasons. That's not limited to D&D and its still strongly trad approach, though; I've had to fight with people to explain that, no, the core assumption of PbtA games (that there's intrinsic value in a game system that pushes you toward things becoming "more interesting") really, really isn't what a lot of people want on occasion, often with some pretty dismissive pushback on it. That's more likely to just be in individual threads, though, as I'm unlikely to hang out at a place with a super-strong focus in that direction (heck, only reason I hang out here is that I find the tone of the board more pleasing than other places; I'd rather be on one without quite as D&D-centric a focus myself).
