I you calculated the sales figures of d20 products in a similar way from the registered users of ENWorld, the d20 companies would be happy <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.Don't forget that the Forge serves also as a board for smaller games. I go there because they have a HeroQuest section and not because of game theories <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.I think the point is that everybody tries to take some applicable tools out of the theory. In principle, the example I made with D&D in this thread does not really fit the theory as written, either, so I'm guilty as charged <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />. However, I also like the much hated "GNS triangle" for a simple, one-look characterization of a game. You can be assured though that I am aware of the fact that this is just an idealized approximation with errors in the tens of percents if you consider how a game is actually played by a specific gaming group.</blockquote>
