That is a lot of players,and these are enthusiasts. These figures do not include occasional participants in role-playing games. The number of persons who have played at least once is certainly twice as large as the number of enthusiasts."In 1987 Gary Gygax estimated that there were 5 million active players, worldwide, of any RPG and 10 million total who have ever played an RPG.Nathan Stewart, D&D's brand director and executive producer, estimated that there were 12-15 million players in 2017 in NA alone. And D&D is continuing to sell better and better.It's not even close.</blockquote>
