Episode 249: Most Popular Character Type, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

     Jolene asked Saul, "What do you think the most played character class is?"  Saul immediately said, "Fighter."  Jolene asked how he came up with that guess.  A discussion followed about the most popular character type and why people like to play Fighters.      Saul and Jolene decided to record an episode about this topic.  Why are "Fighters" so popular?  Saul and Jolene say their favorite class in most games no matter the genre is a sorcerer or wizard.  Yet fighters are the most played character type according to 2020 D&D Beyond data that was published.       For many reasons the Fighter in any genre seems to hold a lot of appeal.  The D&D, to Feng Shui, to Shadowrun the down and dirty fighter types are the character type of choice for many RPGers.  Saul and Jolene discuss why this might be in this week's episode.    Thank you all for listening.    Web Art by Jim Foster    Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones    Music by Temple Velocity, song I Will Fight For You, off the album Murder of Crows    Available from Tribeofnoise.com    Used under the Creative License 3.0    https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode         cited article https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2020/07/dd-and-the-most-popular-class-is.html
