[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8285692, member: 93670"] Yes however back in the 1e/2e age there wasn't much competing with it & in the 3.5 era you had d20 clones playing it safe with little more than "storylines" plus a couple games like CoC & sadowrun (both still kicking & seem healthy in their current versions). Wotc's the one playing it safe with basically just storylines & the 5e forks are the ones doing new stuff to go [I]with[/I] new storylines. Why is acknowledging that d&d players are not a single monolith of preference? Wotc hasn't shown much interest in the diverse interests of their 50mil or so players if that diversity makes up less than 70%. Sure wotc might recognize that they are a sizable enough group that they can't simply ignore them in marketing & product PR when the product being pushed does just that. A couple people have talked up page 11 of RotF as an example... sure it might be useful if you want to apply environmental pressure to a group of players... The players are still near unkillable pack mules with a bunch of "no we have no pressure from food either" type abilities who recover Wfrom injuries like wade Wilson & Logan while the system's math is still based around a spherical cow of no feats & no magic items.
