[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 7462991, member: 48965"] I'd love to read when and why this happened. If you happen to remember an article or link to a site where it's explained feel free to shoot it to me in a pm or in this thread. Well I don't think anyone is disputing whether 4e had fans or not... but it does seems like you are stating the same thing posted earlier, mainly that it didn't garner enough fan support, a large enough customer base, etc for 4e to be considered successful enough to continue being the main rules that would be iterated on for future versions of D&D. I mean given some of the evidence we have, like the Orr Group quarterly report, that shows 4e falling not only behind 5e, but both Pathfinder, and 3.5 (along with a few non D&D games like Shadowrun and Star wars) I don't think it's all that far fetched to think either 4e didn't have a very large fanbase or it's fanbase was made up of people who didn't have a strong attachment to 4e per se.
