Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 8874933" data-attributes="member: 7006">Of course it's true.  And we know exactly how true it is EN World-wise by all the posters here who get all up in arms and argue and complain about the work WotC produces.  Everything they make in books or in Unearthed Arcana playtest documents have people arrive here on the boards to go over all them with fine-toothed combs and complain about what they've made.  Even people who admit they don't actually like or still play WotC-based 5E... still can't help but come here to rant and rave about what WotC does.THAT tells us all we need to know about just how ubiquitous D&D 5E is.  The very definition of "I wish I knew how to quit you."  And why this hope of people that "the world of TTRPGs expands out beyond Wizards of the Coast" is I think a rather disingenuous complaint.  All these people who want 3PPs or other RPGs to rise up out of the shadow that 5E is casting can't help themselves make the shadow even bigger by still keeping themselves handcuffed to 5E.  They still keep involved in its development.  They still want WotC to make D&D 5E rules changes in the style of games they want to play. (General) you complain about WotC and their massive 5E game and how it crowds everybody else out... and yet rather than break ties with this game you feel is an anchor around the hobby... (general) you still care so much about how the game continues and what kinds of books and rules for it get released that you continually stayed involved and talk about it, thus perpetuating its influence.  (General) you are as much responsible for WotC's 5E shadow as anyone.You want me to believe you TRULY care about the larger TTRPG eco-system and want to bring other games and companies out from underneath the shadow of WotC?  Break off from 5E once and for all.  Stop giving them the press.  Because every time you come here onto EN World to talk about it you are showing us all that you actually want to see WotC maintain its position.</blockquote>
