Like I said, between myself, my friends, and the guys at the shop, we have collectively met that many. That includes people at cons, people who join our games via social media LFG stuff, (especially facebook), and friends we've introduced to the game. I don't like 5e as much as 4e, but I can't deny that it has brought in huge numbers of noobs. So many youngling noobs! I mean, a lot of it is also people like Colbert, Vin Diesel, and Joe Mangenello talking about DnD, and people looking into it as a result. It isn't just 5e, as such.But yes, we do get a lot of players in our most popular DnD game shop, and there are a few I don't regularly visit that I can't speak on, but have seen 2-3 groups playing some kind of roleplaying game when I have gone there. Usually I only go to the one for comics, and the other for video games, because our main FLGS doesn't do video games, and has a tiny selection of comics. The shop has also gone from primarily making money from Magic and the like, to a really strong DnD presence, in the last five years or so.  A lot of DnD's rise started during the last year of 4e, but people like to ignore that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
