Like which is more successful Pathfinder two or shadow dark right now, or Pathfinder two or dagger heart, right?

I don't think we're going to get a good conversation that makes it really clear that one is absolutely dominating over the other, unless it really is dominating.

And then everything is like a 10 to one.

Oh man, there are 10 times more dagger heart games than there are Pathfinder games or 10 times more Pathfinder games than there are dagger heart games.

Unless you see an order of magnitude difference between one and the other, I don't think you could really argue that one is more popular than the other.

I don't think we have the data for it.

I don't even know that the companies have the data for it because they might have sold them and the people are playing them.

They don't have any idea.

So it's really hard.

So those, that's why, you know, again, I'm going to kind of come back to, you know, the question of does this matter?

Does this topic matter?

Well, the answer is not really, right?

Like this is just us kind of having gauge of conversation because we can always, if we can ever find the players to play the game that we love, that might just be our definition of success for ourselves, right?

Like you don't have to worry about any of the other outside factors or whether or not it's on start playing games or whether you can find a company, whether you can find convention play or whether you see that they have a very active discord server with hundreds to thousands of people talking about the game.

If you have the game, if you've got your copy of Frontier Space and you've got the four people who are eager to play a campaign of Frontier Space, that might be enough of a success for you that you don't care about anything else.

Where I think the topic does matter is it helps us navigate all the conversations that are taking place when we think about the hobby that we've got going on.

Let me ask you a question.

What is the maximum number of monsters you are comfortable running in a fight?

Is it 10 or six, 12, 16?

Can you run 16 monsters in your game?
