[QUOTE="Enrahim2, post: 8913714, member: 7039850"] This has got me thinking. The big challenge with supporting alternatives is that most players are not playing alternatives due to not really seeing anything but the "defaults". I checked some of the big public LFG forums like Roll20 and reddit/lfg. There seem to be some more alternative games there now than when I previously checked, but they are still (vanilla) 5ed dominated. I don't think a blanket recommendation to prioritise other efforts is going to have a big effect on its own. There are to much love and investments put into the system by very many. However limited campaigns with wide appeal might be able to give much more visible effect. For instance "Dark March": Encourage GMs to not post new lfgs for 5ed and PF2 for a week or month (excluding more important things like filling ongoing campaign or if you are a doing DMing for a living). The idea being to give the smaller systems some time to shine, like stars at the night sky at a dark place far from the lights of the civilization. [/QUOTE]
