[QUOTE="Xenonnonex, post: 7806802, member: 7015664"] No not lost on. Your analogy is irrelevant. But it does highlight a cognitive dissonance. How does it stifle creativity? Only you can make it a problem if you want it to become a problem. Anecdotally people profess their love for 5e in Twitter. Some people have said they went back into roleplaying after a long hiatus because of 5e. But how is any of that stifling creativity? In fact with a lot of the supplements you mentioned they all put their own spin on things. They are in fact innovating mechanics. You are confusing market ubiquity with stifling creativity. As I made a point in another post we are seeing the demand because the public wants more 5e material. This is directly a result of Wizards' slow release cycle. The fans drive the demand presumably because they are having fun and liking what they are playing. I am sympathetic to your concern. My solution is simple as since it seems to be personally affecting you. Play other systems. Some friends of mine do not like 5e so we do not play 5e at all. We play a host of other systems. It is that simple. Again only it can affect you only if you want it to affect you. I am not sympathetic to your hyperbole. [/QUOTE]
