[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 7647994, member: 17106"] :confused: It's hard to find numbers on these sorts of things, but that statement just boggles my mind. I suspect that the percentage of active 3e players (not including PF; people whose games are primarily 3e) is probably an order of magnitude bigger then the percentage of 2e players during the 3e era. Besides the fact that the game was far more active in general (where 2e was not doing well long before 3e was even announced), there's the fact that the rules are[I] available for free online[/I], and there's a very active secondhand book market through online sources that were just beginning to exist in the 2e era. To say nothing of the rules themselves. This site's *non-scientific polls that do not reflect the gaming population as a whole* often show that ENWorlders are almost as likely to be playing 3e as they are to be playing 4e or PF ([URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/308611-what-version-s-d-d-do-you-play.html"]example[/URL]). 3e players are especially hard to track because they're generally not doing any organized play or subscribing to anything, but there's every reason to believe there are still plenty of them.
