If we could get that, we could see just how bug the potential market might be.Looking at Dragonsfoot.org and Kenzer & Co. is unlikely to provide meaningful data for the simple reason of scale. Suppose there is a base of 15,000 people who want 1e products. That seems large. That will likely fill up 1e based websites to brimming, making the number of 1e afficionadoes seem numerous.But in an enviroment in which the PHB sells 500,000+ copies, are 15,000 people outside the target market really a "huge" market waiting to be tapped? I don't think so. On that scale, the 1e fans are small potatoes.</blockquote>
