For 5e do you see the PHB+1 philosophy not impacting that Jeremy? from both a league and home style I would have thought PHB +race +1 would make sense to keep material valued. I don't see any EE races anymore 🙁

The popularity of humans, elves, and dwarves has been true for multiple editions of D&D, regardless of game mechanics, regardless of the rules for organized play, and regardless of what the competing racial options have been. #DnD https://t.co/jNYVdRt7yw

Given that Jeremy said “with data from more than one edition of D&D”, I would say its not based on D&D Beyond. Likely its from surveys.The data is from surveys spanning many years, D&D Insider, and D&D Beyond.

not surprised about humans, but i do think the game mechanics for them is what make them being the most favored, because the free starting feat him make them far more personalized, even more at low levels.

Another piece of D&D data: a majority of D&D characters don't use feats. Many players love the customization possible with feats, but a larger group of players is happy to make characters without feats. Feats are, therefore, not a driving force behind many players' choices. #DnD https://t.co/G8nX6t5jj3
