In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

    I think the lack of personal time to pursue fulfilling hobbies and the general difficulty of finding a group of 4-8 players who have the sane consistent schedule is the primary bar of entry. The base rules of 5e are free, and anyone can download a dice rolling app for free. And barring that, pirating DnD books is stupid easy.

    There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a game you can’t always play. If that was the bar of entry, then everyone’s uncle who is super hyped about the Superbowl isn’t a football fan.
