Seriously though why is there still coming 5e compatible stuff out after the OGL debacle?
@DmMacniel @TheGreatDarkness because it sells. And no matter what hobby stuff is going on, dnd players are disconnected from that to a point. There are people that do not even realize there is a wider hobby outside of 5e
I still think about an eye opening experience I had at a bar. Was chatting to some dude and he mentioned he was playing DND. I asked what edition. He didn't know. He didn't even know there were other editions. I can't even guarantee he was actually playing DND and not some other RPG.
There's a whole lot of extremely... Casual? I guess casual is the word? Casual DND players.
When I first got into D&D I didn't know what edition I was playing. I knew there were multiple editions, but I couldn't find the edition number. The box just said Dungeons and Dragons.
It was 4E, and I played multiple other systems before I finally got into 5E.
