Message: <blockquote data-quote="Emberashh" data-source="post: 9343772" data-attributes="member: 7040941">To take this comment as an excuse to muse on a something peculiar about how online people tend to react to my game, I spend a lot of time reading different forums and subreddits and what have you. As a would be game designer, I take to heart the advice to stay engaged with your intended audience, and as such, when I read a great mass of discussions about 5e in particular, there's a lot of common trends that become apparent. 5e's lack of meaningful procedures and rules for things like Exploration, or Crafting, are a common complaint people say they'd wish was different, up to and including saying it should be just as indepth as Combat is. There's a lot of want and desire for just more in that game. And yet, often when my game, which is trying to go just that far in delivering relatively equal depth across all of its experiences, is exposed to others online, its been rejected, with some even going as far as to say that no one actually wants a game like that. Course, the caveat is that I have yet to actually run into anybody, online or in real life, who was a 5e person, that talked to me about my game and what they can do in it that wasn't enthusiastically supportive. Around 100ish people have played Labyrinthian in its proto-state and the bulk of those were coming direct from 5e, with a handful having it be their first RPG experience ever, and while there was some reservations about certain things, I've yet to run into any actual dislike for what the game is doing, other than from online people. So I suppose the point of this musing is, it is important to listen to people and what they're clamoring for, and I think some don't really want to listen to 5e players.</blockquote>
