[QUOTE="mach1.9pants, post: 4747688, member: 55946"] [b]- D&D doomed to cult status?[/b] We have always been in a cult with DnD, we dress in black robes and worhip Satan, I know I saw it on a TV show once ;) Anyway Dnd, here in NZ anyway, is certainly cult. I dunno what percentage of people out here play RPGs but it is vanishingly small. AFAIK there is not another group within 45 minutes drive of me, and I keep up with the board gamers etc (a few groups of those) and war gamers. The nearest shop is on the capital 1.5 to 2 hours drive. And that is one of 2 RPG shops in the capital, there is another 1 or 2 in largest city and one or two more AFAIK. So we are looking at about 1 shop per 3/4 million population, 1 per 500,000 max, which I thinks gives you an idea of how tiny RPGs are over. I really think RPGs is a dying hobby, which is sad but thats the way of things. Won't stop me playing and enjoying it :) Anyway back to chanting and goat sacrifice! [/QUOTE]
