[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 5901763, member: 85555"] I am definitely not suggesting anything they do will bring D&D to the level of video games. It has always been a hobby that people trickle into. I do think the pele who play D&D are far more diverse than we are given credit for. But it does tend to attract people who like fantasy and read a lot. Where I think we disagree, and this is probably just a point in the discussion where neither side can make headway because it has been argued to death many times alread, is that I believe there was a serious drop in the number of people who came into 4e versus 3e, or even 2e (and most certainly 1e). I also disagree that D&D will continue to survive in its current niche no matter what they do. There have only been a handful of moments as long as I have been gaming where D&D had the kind of competition it is currently getting from pathfinder right now. It is becoming less and less true that D&D = RPG. There are lots of people coming into the hobby from games like pathfinder (and I hope through other games like savage worlds). RPGs will continue to be a niche for a while. But I do think D&D is at a major turning point. It well could continue to decline and other games will step in to take its place. [/QUOTE]
