So as the newest edition of the year is about to roll-out, what are your RPG plans ? Play more ? Less ? Try another game ? Finish a long campaign ?

My goal for the year is to get my game published, as well as find more non-D&D folks in my area. I find too many that only know that one game, and I want to find more who knows more.

I am from Europe and it was really a surprise during the WotC/Hasbro’s fuck up to discover that for a lot of people in the US, DnD and TTRPG are co considered to be the same thing.

WotC/Hasbro did so much marketing in the wake of Stranger Things and Critical Role to bring in new players, but they never got a chance to see what else is on the market. And there are so many 5e clones and hacks that it’s hard to break through the noise with some people.

@phase @psion1369 Some of the issue is simply that a lot of people don’t have the slightest idea that D&D is a single example in a larger category called TTRPGs.

For most people outside the hobby, “TTRPG” draws a blank stare, and “RPG” conjures thoughts of video games. “Like D&D” gets some superficial comprehension.

And then there are the people who drive the rest of us nuts calling *ANY* TTRPG “D&D”, whether it bears any resemblance or not…

I heard someone if France saying that DnD has nearly 90% of the market in the US while only 40%-50% in France. Fantasy still has 70%.
