Wait, remind me again: why are we still buying shit from this tone-deaf, greedy AF corp with a proven record of fanbase fuckery up there with GW?
full disclosure: I haven't given WotC any money since ~'96, so it's less a "we" and more a "y'all", but I meant it in a collective "us". ๐
I'll be completely honest with you sir:
It's just that none of the other popular TTRPGs (as in, ones I can find a group for) have much content on dragons.
PF2e has Battlezoo
And 4 first party monster books with so many dragons.
What it's really lacking is dungeons.
TBF, even in Dungeons & Dragons, there's an ironic deficit of actual dungeons. Abattoirs, oubliettes, catacombs, sewers, and even a largely unmapped cavernous subterranean realm? Checkity check check, check. Dungeons? A handful at best in nearly half a century of content production. ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ (It's almost like the racist, sexist, insular founding members were a loose group of multi-flavored trogs, give or take. ๐คช)
And the dragons are actually awesome in PF2e. Not just colour coded. They have dragons that map onto different primordial concepts like the 4 kinds of magic, different outer planes like Heaven and Hell, etc.
