[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 399512, member: 307"] [B][/b] You misundertand me I think. I did not mean that Lejendary Adventures would have to outsell 3e in order for their evidence that a Gygax designed new version of D&D would outsell the current version. What I said was that one would look for Gygax's current game to be doing very well by industry standards in order to have good evidence. What I am saying is this: the general evidence is that Lejendary Adventures sells okay, but not necessarily great. I'd be surprised if it was in the top 5 of non-D&D, non-White Wolf RPG lines sold today. Given that he does not appear to be outperforming his peers who have similarly limited brand recognition (and he has his own [i]name[/i] recognition to help him out), I'm inclined to think that the evidence that he could produce a more popular version of 3e D&D is rather weak. Impossible to tell. We can only draw conclusions from the evidence available, and the evidence available doesn't include anything that would be real helpful on this score. [/QUOTE]
