Please forgive me if this is too too tangential (and I won't whine if the post gets deleted), but I wonder how these numbers compare to other RPG forums. The most recent data I readily could find on D&D growth has 40% of players (including DMs) female.<a href="https://gamerant.com/dungeons-and-dragons-infographic-2021/" target="_blank">Oh, goody! A GameRant link.</a>What it doesn't say, though, is what percent of RPG forum users are female. Playing the game is one thing; getting so into it that you start posting on forums is another. Have you any data on what the numbers are like in other forums? Intuitively, I'd be surprised if EN World actually lags behind others: you've focused so hard on it.Another thing I ran into is the difficulty in finding any racial demographics. To my untrained and unobservant eye, it seems less popular among minorities in the U.S., but I have no data to support or undercut that. I'd hope there's been at least some meaningful progress on this, but who knows?? When I try Googling for it, all I find are analyses of racial demographics within the imaginary worlds of the game, but nothing recent about racial demographics of the players. Have studies been done on this? Anyone got a link?</blockquote>
