I asked this on Mastodon this morning but this is plainly a different audience.
Do you think D&D (which comprises 60%+) of the hobby is a gateway to other games or is it a giant, bloated tick draining increasing money into a shareholder black hole?
(Yes these are extreme views. Middling views are encouraged).
For me, D&D was always adjacent to gaming. It wasn't my first game and I've played it half a dozen times over a 40 year RPG hobby.
I hear some people saying that ET and later Stranger Things are responsible for bringing people into the hobby. I wonder whether they just bring people into the D&D market as opposed to the wider hobby.
I've not seen evidence that D&D benefits anyone but D&D.
What do you think?
