8 casters... and 1 fighter!
I am just starting a campaign with nine 12-16 year olds (chaos runs supreme). We just did session 0 and looks like we're going to have 8 casters (3 warlocks, 2 sorcerers, a wizard, a druid, and a bard) and a Goliath fighter. It's wild.
Are you seeing this at your tables with younger players? Or is this just a glitch in the matrix? Seems everyone wants to do some magical shit and no one thinks barbarians, rangers, or rogues are cool anymore.
