[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 8557542, member: 7028579"] I think a better question is, “What if they’d gone with some other story or character driven ttrpg or some b/x clone” Neither Pathfinder nor 4e were ever going to find the widespread appeal 5e has. Both are more about precision and fussiness at their core than going with whatever’s fun. People around here will litigate systems and rules, but the world of new players that have arrived in the past 6-8 years run the gamut from numbers dorks to rule zero whatevers and 5e accommodates both, so it’s been a popular fit For many. But, to the question at hand, I think (speaking as not one) CR’s fans like the story and character driven stuff CR does, the game mechanics, even if they dork out over them, are very secondary. Dice rolling adds drama, and rules a structure, but man, isn’t the real question what if they did it dungeon world, or b/x or…? [/QUOTE]
